DISASTER FOR
BOLSHEVIKI IS
COMING NEARER
Petrograd Doomed to Be
Captured in Very Short
Time.

! London, Oct. 1s.-Fofced back by
the onslaughts of enemies on four
fronts, the armies Of the soviet gov
ernment of Russia appear to be fac
ing a period pregnant with disaster.
General Denikine's Cossacks from the
south, Polish forces from the west,
northwestern Russian legion on the
northwest, and northern Russian
troops from the north have during
the last few days forged ahead until
1t seems the Bolshevik armies are
between the upper and neither mill
stones.
Petrograd is doomed to capture, in
they opinion of observers, General
Yudenitch being at Gatchina. only Is
miles south Of the former Russian
capital. In the, extreme north the
northern Russian army has broken
the resistance of the Bolsheviki, ac-
cording to reports, and are pursuing
the enemy toward Omega village
about $50 miles west of Archangel.
Further to the south it has forced its
Polish forces have captured kovno,
on the extreme northern end of their
line. Denikine's men have driven a
great wedge into central Russia as far
as Orel and are thought to be on their
way toward Tula, an important rail-
way center that is considered the key
to Moscow. East of the Urals is Ad-
miral kolchak's army but it Is SEEM
ingly too far away to enter into con-
sideration as a vital factor in the
situation which is developing in Rus
Yudenitch and Admiral kolchak are
said to be operating in close co-or-
dination.
Fight Denikne Forces.
West of General Denikine's army
supposed to be hostile to the Bolshe-
Wiki, have declared war on Denikine
because of alleged atrocities perpe-
trated by the latter's soldiers on their
advance toward Moscow. Reports
have been received, however, that part
of the Ukrainian army has Joined
Denikine, having been assured that
the latter will wrest eastern Galicia
and the province of Chelm from Po-
land.

Editorial comment while recalling
frequent past predictions Of the fall OF

menacing for the soviet government
than it has been at any previous time.
Confidence in financial circles in the
coming defeat Of Bolshevism was
shown by the strength of securities in
the Stock Exchange yesterday, many

In almost every line of war activi-
ties the women Of this country have
done well and have taken front rank
for doing work that released thou
sands of men for service overseas.
Some women have been over-ambi-
tious, and, at the expense of their
health, have filled places once occu-
pied by men Every woman who, be-
cause Of oyerwork, has brought on
some ailment peculiar to her sex,
should depend upon Lydia e. Pink

her health and strength, as this rem
