Boisheviki and Anti
Troops.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
LONDON, Oct. 22.-Conficting re-
ports were received here today re-
garding progress of the anti-bol-
sheviki attack against Petrograd
A Berlin dispatch quoted the Rus
sian paper Prisy as saying an official
communique from General Yudenitch
declared he had reached the city
proper from the south and that street
fighting was going on in the out
skirts.
Other dispatches, however, report
ed the bolsheviki not only success
fully resisting the attack on Petro-
grad, but winning victories on other
fronts While the red armies were
keeping the anti-bolshevik forces
from the city gates by frequent sor-
ties, 1T was said both Deniken and
Kolchak received setbacKs.
In the south the bolshevih were
reported to have captured Orel and
driven Denilren back to the outskirts
OF Kieff.
On Kolchak's front, the bolsheviki
were said to have advanced fourteen
miles in the Kurgan region. taking
/ 900 prisoners and to have won other
successes in the Tobolsk, Trottsk and
Kutanisk sectors.
The Polish effort has let down,
owing to lack of munitions. causing
the supreme council to decide on
handing over large quantities Of
French supplies to the Poles.
Near Luga, about fifty miles south
OF Petrograd, indecisive fighting was
reported. Near Pskoff, 100 miles
further south, the Esthonians were
said to be advancing.
The bolshevilci. according to re-
liable estimates, are in no present
danger of munitions shortage be-
cause Of the large quantities they
captured in Kolchak's recent retreat.
They are said to have fire armies
opposing Kolchak, six opposing Deni-
ken and three on the western front,
a total Of 100000 men.
Two Ships sunk.

destroyers were sunk by British and
Esthonian destroyers in Kaporia bay

Speaking of Nations!

From here 5000 prisoners were sent
back into Germany. Five Americans, one
Engllshman and thirty-four Frenchmen
were put in box and locked in for
three days and three nights on a ration of
one-half loaf of bread. We passed through
Sedan, Namur, Liege and Luxembourg on
our way to Gesen.
"At Giesen | saw the worst treatment of
men so far. 1t was here that big square
head officer struck a Frenchman in the
face and knocked him senseless because he
wasn't standing at attention. This same
officer used to have roll call three times
a day and, if he felt so inclined, would
make us stand at attention in the rain for
hours at time. | was in the hospital here
for three weeks for treatment of my leg
"Rastatt the name Of the American
concentration camp and it was here that we
were now sent. Conditions here were much
better, as the Americans we're winning
right along and the Fritzes wanted to
make showing, SO they gave the Ameri-
cans some privileges. 1t was also q propa-
ganda camp and many amusing incidents
took place here. The American Red Cross
supervised the feeding and clothing of the
prisoners, and it is needless to say we were
we'll taken care of. We also had plenty of
sporting articles and the Y. NJ. c. A. fur
nished us a library of 600 books
when November II came and the armis-
tice was signed the Red Cross made ar
rangements for our transportation across
the Swiss frontier. We then went through
the little republic and up to Vichy, France
where we were placed in quarantine and
we'll fed before coming back to the old
crowd, and it sure did seem good to see the
old familiar faces once more"

Are You Superstitious?

Do you believe in signs, luck, the gods Of
chance and fate?
Do you know that losing a pay envelope
containing your months pay is considered
a sign of bad luck?
When a sailor jumps ship on Friday and
remains ashore until the next Friday it is
a sign Of court martial?
If your name appears on the pay list with
the figure so after it, it is a sign that good
luck will befall you within & few days?
When it SHOWS heavily it is sign that
working parties will be ordered out the next
day?
When the date line on a newspaper is
March II, it is pretty fair sign of spring?
