A WAY TO HELP RUSSIA.

Perm is an important point, but not vitality important
Admiral Kolchak lost several Perms and still bea
the boshcvk if he given even half-heartcd help b,
the allies The boshevik cause has in the seeds Of
death, however hectic its activity during its decline
Trozky giving out interviews breathing fire and caugh
ter but nevertheless he is in bad way and must let 90
of Pctrograd In order bolster up the boshevk prop
uganda among the Russians Trotzky and Lenine try
dierct attention away from Petrograd and South Rus
STA, whore they losing ground and make demon
straton at Perm and elsewhere along Kolchaks front
Thus the victory means less than it would if Kol
chak were disintegrating.
Gen Denkine, successor to the faithful and brave Gen.
Korniof in south Russia, has about 100000 men.
composed largely of Kuban and Don cossacks He is in
good strategic position with headquarters at Ekaterin-
odar and has to the Black Sea at Nororosssk and
other ports The allies can supply Denkines forces with
all needfu munitions through Nororossisk which has rail-
road connections with Ekaterinodar
Gen. Kornof stock against the bolshevk when he had
only 5000 men. The Germans offered to assist him in
fighting the bolshevi He refused saying he would have
no dealings with the enemy, because he faithful to
the allies He fell in BATTLE still faithful to his duty to
Russia and the allies. Now Gen. Demkine is carrying
on his work and is deserving of all the help which the al
lies give him.
There perhaps 3000,0 900 Russian prisoners in Ger
many and Austra-Eungary. Peace has been made with
Germany and all the Russian prisoners in the Hun en-
pre will soon be released Many were released during
the armstce period whenever the Germans had no work

1T more desirable to release prisoners than to feed
them slaves These released prisoners made their way
back to south Russia and would have been utilized by the
antlbosheVk army commanders if there had been equip
ment and ammunition for them Lacking material the
antboshevk commanders could not take these men Thew
wandered into central Russia and were taken over bv the
Doshevki armed with German rifles and cartridges and
forced into the boshevk army Tens of thousands of
former prisoners of Germany are now forciby lined up
against free Russia and the cause of civilization Are

hungary to be gobbed up and armed with German weap-

Gen. Denikine is in position to mobolize and incor-

olltlea declaration, although it would be opportunity
or the allies to make clear to the Russian people at
avorabe opportunity their sympathy with the antiboshe

1t must be remembered always that when the allies aid
