Gen. Denikine's Advance and Other
Developments Encourage Rus
SLAMS in Paris.

PARIS, Thursday. August 21.-The
successful advance of Gen. Denikine
in southern Russia, taken in connec-
ton with the British naval attack
on Kronstadt and the movement of
the Poles and the northwestern Rus
sian army against the bolsheviki, has
attracted much attention in peace con-
ference circles. The Russian political
committee in Paris hopes that the
general anti bolshevik movement will
be successful before winter. in spite
of the reverse suffered by the forces
of Admiral Kolchak in the east.
According to messages received by
the committee, the Denikine forces
are marching on Kiev after having
taken Kherson and Nikolaiev. East
of Kievs they have occupied virtually
all the important railway centers as
far as the Volga, a distance of about
$50 miles. Along the Volga they are
moving north toward Saratov, having
captured Zolotue. Denikine now con-
trolls great section of European
Russia and holds the sources of the
chief coal and oil supplies.

Some iron works now are being oper-

Germany is completely stopped, and
British coal costs the equivalent of
$22.50 a ton and coal from America
about $1.25 less.
Iron manufacturers are urging the

without establishing an actual block

objection to bockading a country

plan has been devised which seems
TO meet the situation, but the block

Venizelos and Prince George were not

arch-revolutionarya and to render his
task the more difficult.
The Greek people, however. have
never wavered in their support of
him. He is their idol-and he justi-
