CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 28-The
American schooner Black Arrow is ex-
pected daily at Novorossysk with a
cargo of arms for General Denikine,
anti Bolshevik military leader of
Southern Russia. The troops, which
are making daily advances, are in
great need of additional munitions, and
the approach of the American vessel
is hailed with Joy by the Denikine sup
porters as coming just in time to save
the military situation.
The Black Arrow is owned by the
United States Shipping Board, but is
managed and operated by the American
Line. Nothing is known in New York
of the nature of her cargo. The
schooner cleared from New York for
the Mediterranean, and passed Gibral-
tar September 25. Novorossysk is q
small seaport on the east coast of the
Black Sea. about thirty miles south
east Of Anapa.
Denikine May Shift Headquarters
News of the approaching arrival of
the Black Arrow and knowledge of the
campaign for Petrograd, far to the
north, have stimulated the efforts Of
General Denikine on his western front,
and may lead to transfer of his head
quarters from the Sea of Asov to khar-
kov. two hundred miles south of Orel.
In this connection it is anticipated that
q junction will be attempted with the
Poles in an attempt to clear out the
Bolshevik bands west of kiev.
General Denikine's main line now
ranges from Kiev to Kharkov and
along the Don to Tsaritzyn. His &C
tions at Orel and surrounding towns
consist mostly of cavalry raids, which,
however, are not without success
For several weeks General Denikine
has confined himself to exerting
pressure on the Bolsheviki, without
any general intensified movement. His
political nature rather than military.
1t is warfare conducted with rail-
way lines of communication on the
part Of both combatanss so the SHOWS
of November will not check operations
in central Russia. General Dcnikine
has issued a statement declaring he is
not ant;-Semitic.
Kolchak Front Weakened
The Southern army of Admiral Kol-
chak has weakened so the Bolsheviki
have been enabled to maintain wedge
reaching down to the Afghan frontier
along the Orenburg- 1ashkend rail
way, through the Mahometan country
east of the Caspian Sea. In this re-
gon Enver Pacha is attempting to
create an empire of Pan Turanian
peoples.
