 Why BOIshevism Survived.
 The Bolsheviks are not so blind that they cannot see the writing on the wall. Already they have begun to entrench and fortify Vologda, which will be the scene of their last stand. In view of the increasing aeznora- lization of the Red troops, coupled with wholesale assertions, 1t Is un- likely that more than 6O.o0o or sO,-
