and the accuracy of the news was ques-
toned in admiralty circles.
Dispatches from Scandinavia have
announced the capture of Gatzhina, %
miles south of Petrograd, by the Yu
denitch forces and stated that he was
advancing on Tsarskoe Selo, former
summer residence of the late Emperor
Nicholas, and Krasnoye Selo near by.
Reports of the capture of these places
by the Bolshevik army, however,
seemed of doubtful accuracy. A Boil
shevik wireless station is located at
Tsarskoe- Selo and announcement was
made by wireless press here this morn
ing that the Bolsheviki were apparent
ly still in possession of it, as Soviet
propaganda was vet being sent out
from the station during this forenoon
Soviet troops are reported to be leav-
ing Petrograd, mutinies among the men
have broken out. In any event advices
indicate that the Yudenitch forces are
encountering feeble resistance. Boil
shevik troops are said to have captured
Kiev, but in this region the situation
is obscure.
Further details of the situation south
of Moscow have not been received, but
it appears the Bolshevik armies in that
region are launching counter attacks
against General Denikine.s lines. With
the exception of the capture of Kiev
the Bolsheviki seems to have been re-
pulsed along the new front
There is also some uncertainty as to
the exact situation in Lithuania, where
Russian and Lithuanian forces are mo-
bilized. In the meantime Admiral Kol-
chak, head of the all Russian govern
ment at Omsk and commander of the
anti -Bolsheyik element on the East
Russian front is advancing rapidly in
pursuit of the Soviet army which have
been ordered to retire

Yudenitch Progressing.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE march of
General Yudentch at the head of tho
Northwestern Russian army on the city
of Petrograd was still progressing IA
vorably at the latest advices. Some
reports of his advance have, however,
apparently outrun his progress. There
appeared, for instance, some doubt to-
day whether the fortress of Kronstadt
outpost at the water approach to Petro-
grad had capitulated to the British ma
val forces, as indicated in reports dur
ing the night. The British admiralty
has received no confrmatory advices

BETTER Than CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result OF DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calornel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
