Recent Defeats by Bolshevist
Forces Mainly Responsible
for Change in Control Of
Southern Russia.
REDS DRIVE FORWARD
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. g. General Deni-
kine's government in Southern Russia
has been overthrown and Gen. Roman
ovsky has been chosen to replace Cen
eral Denikine as anti-Bolsheviki chief
according to a wireless dispatch re-
ceived here from Moscow quoting ad-
vices from Taganrog.
The report indicates that owing to
defeats along the front, a coup d'etat
occurred at General Denikine's head
quarters and that his government has
been replaced by group known as
the "Vozsozhdenye Rossie." meaning
the Regeneration Of Russia"
Gen. Denikine's fall is probably a
result of his recent defeats by the
9 Polsheviki in Southern Russia. Dur
Ing the past autumn the Denikine
forces moved steadily northward. de-
feating the Soviet troops in many
battles and apparently threatening
Moscow.
After he had reached Orel. 120
miles south of the Soviet capital,
however, he encountered stern resist
ance which soon developed into a
fight extending over virtually con-
tinuous front 400 miles in length.
Forced to Fall Back.
Bolshevik cavalry finally filtered
through the Denikine lines, breaking
communications in the rear, and
forced the anti-Soviet forces to fall
back rapidly. Recent dispatches
have Indicated the Bolsheviki were
rapidly approaching the shores Of the
Black Sea on the western end Of thhe
front and the Volga river, further
east
There were reports last month that
Denikine had been dismissed from
command of the anti-red army in
southern Russia. but these were new
er confirmed. Later. it was said, he
might succeed Admiral Kolchak as
head Of all the elements fighting
against the regime Of Lenine and
Trotzky.
General Romanovsky. who is re-
ported to have succeeded Denikine
may be the officer who has been act
ing Governor and Commander Of an
u.Bolsheviki armies in the far east
ern provinces Of Siberia. There ID
no other Rusnian General by that
name In available army lists.

CENSUS TAKERS FIND
! PEOPLE UNRESPONSIVE

Census takers in Richmond exper-
fenced difficulties yesterday and to-
day, when they tried to ascertain ages
and other data.
Women refused to divulge their
ages and only supplied the informa-
tion when census takers assured them
that Uncle Sam would not reveal the
data.
Many could not tell where their
husbands were born, and scores did
not know where their parents were
born. Men were ignorant of the
nationality OF their parents.
Some of the aliens did not under.
stand fully why the census was taken.
Patient enumerators explained that
the government did not intend to
commander their property but only
wanted to know If It was owned by
the resident or rented.
Census takers believe that the ex,
act nature Of their work will be un.
derstood in few days and that citi
zens will answer readily the ques
tions which they must ask.
