Facing Crisis.

London, Oct. 15.-With General
Denikine's Cossack army advancing
from the south and the northwestern
Russian forces almost within striking
distance Of Petrograd. the Soviet gov
eminent Of Russia appears to be fac
ing crisis. = Bolshevik headquarters
at Petrograd were closed last Thurs
day, according to dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Reval.
The Northwestern Russian army
has apparently crashed through the
Bolshevik lines over a wide front.
Pskov has been captured and it is be-
lieved that the forces under General
Ydenitch also have taken the import
ant town of Luga, about IS miles
southwest of Petrograd.. The capture
of hamburg, Is miles from Petrograd,
reported on Monday, and latest dis
patches indicated the line of advance
to be nearly 125 miles in length.
On the. south the Denikine troops
appear to have approached quite near
the town of Tula, which is considered
the key to Moscow from that side. A
dispatch received here says that X
Tula falls to the Cossacks, the Bolshe-
vik commissaries will flee into Turk
estan. taking advantage of q gap be-
tween the Denikine and Kolchak
forces in the Volga Valley.

Distance From Moscow;
Almost Continuou. Line
OF Offensive Formed By
Bolsheviki To The Gulf OF
Finland.

Today's developments from Russia
are of an extremely discouraging
character for the Bolsheviki regime.
General Denikine, whose forces are
on a front of about 45a
miles through Central Russia has in
the center captured Orel. only 23s
miles from Moscow and the most i'm
portant railroad center south of the
capital. The northwestern army Of
General Yudenitch. also operating on
a broad front, is reported to have
smashed through the Bolshevist lines
west and southwest Of Petrograd and
to be within SO to IS miles Of Petro-
grad all along the front. Meanwhile,
Kolchak's Siberian armies are improv-
ing their advantage along the Tobol
river and now are within few miles
of the boundaries Of European Rus
sia, from which they were driven by
the recent successful Bolshevik Of

Riga is apparently held firmly 70.

successful onslaught of Col. Avaloff-
Bermondt and his German auxtliaries
and have for four days been able to
prevent them crossing the Runa into
the main part of Riga The town, to
which the Lettish government has re-
turned, is reported afire in several
places. Held up in front at Riga Col.
Avalon- -Bermondt finds his rear seri-
ously menaced by a new advance OF
the Poles, who have struck westward
from Wilma to Kovno and now threat
en- the communications Of the German
troops with Germany.
With the exception of the gap be-
tween the Volga and the Siberian
frontier, fairly continuous line of
offense is established against the Boil
sheviki reaching from the Gulf OF
Finland sixty miles beyond Petrograd,
due south to Dvinsk. thence along the
Polish front southeastward to Gomel,
which in turn is barely IS miles from
Chernigoff, just captured by General
Denikine. His right flank is near
kamishin. 425 miles due east of
Chernlgoh, on the Volga.
