small, log structure, OverShadOwed by

DEFEAT OF BOLSHEWSTS
IS HELD INEVITABLE
Military Expert of Russian In
formation Bureau in This Coun-
try Reviews Situation.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 14.-Co1. z.
NJ. Shumsky of the Russian general
staff, former military expert of the
Petrograd Daily Birjeviyea viedo-
mosti. now military expert Of the Rus
sian information bureau in this coun-
try, discussing the present military
situation on the anti-bolshevist fronts
in Russia, says:
% During the recent war Germany
won successes on the Russian front,
occupied all Serbia and the greater
part of Rumania, but lost the war
nevertheless and was forced to CAN'T
ulate. Such an end was inevitable
because the Germans met with defeat
on main theaters of military opera
tions on the French front. During
last summer. the bolsheviki had sue
cesses on the Kolchak front and later
exerted strong pressure upon the Rus
siam British front in Archangel. But
at the same time toward the end of
the summer they lost all of southern
Russia, with a population of more
than forty million. Denikine's army
came within 200 miles of Moscow.
And just as the successes of the Ger
mans on the Russian, Serbian and Ru-
manian fronts could not avert their
final collapse, the successes of the boil
fronts cannot prevent their inevitable
defeat. AT present the bolsheyiki
have succeeded in retaining Petro-
grad and in forcing back the advance
of Yudenitch. They have managed
also to push the lines Of Kolchak's
front toward Omsk.
1t is apparent, however, that Yude-
mitch with his little army of 10000
men could not present a serious men
ace to the bolsheviki. Neither could
kolchak. who is 1900 miles from Mos
cow. and draws his strength from TO-
100000 population of Siberia, be re-
garded as the main danger to boil
shevists rule. The danger to the boil
shevist rule is Denekine, whose army
in one summer took almost half of
preaching Moscow with the purpose
to deliver a deadly blow on bolshe-
vism. The bolsheviki may achieve a
success against Yudenitch and Kol-
chak. but as long as Denekine'S army
is advancing and as soon as it's ad-
vance eliminates in occupying Mos
COW they must inevitably perish. 1t is
true that after four months of con-
tinued success Denekine is halted in
his advance on Moscow. The bolshe
Wiki even succeeded in retaking from
Denekine several towns, but Denekine
still holds not less than 80 per cent
of the territory he won, and delay
in his advance is due not so much to
bolshevist opposition as to the con-
ditions of the weather and the ne
cessity to organize the rear and the
lines of communication before a de-
cisiye move on the heart of bolshe-
visit Russia. Bolshevist prayers for
peace are analogous with those of
Germans in the recent war. With
Denekines army intact and powerful.
and close to Moscow, the crushing of
bolshevist rule is only matter Of
time.
