London.-The town Of Krasnoyarsk,
Eastern Siberia, has been captured by
the Bolsheviki, according to wireless
dispatch received here from Moscow.
"The remnants of the First, Second
and Third enemy armies have surren-
dered, and 10000 prisoners already
have been counted" says the dispatch.
[Krasnoyarsk is situated on the
Trans Siberian railway, about 300 miles
east of Tomsk. Lying on the plain
and open to the play of the bitter
winds, traffic with the town by cara
vans is almost impossible in the win
ter. The town is situated on the lett
bank of the Yenisei river.1
Another communication from Mos
cow says the booty captured by the
Reds on the southern front in Rus
sia in the present offensive included 4Oo
guns, 1000 machine guns, 1000 rifles
1S armored trains, 200 locomotives,
10000 wagons and large stores of food
and munitions and $4,000 prisoners.
The city. of Novocherkassk has been
captured by the Bolsheviki, is also
asserted in wireless, message from
Moscow. The city was taken on Janu-
airy z, after battle of the most Sc
we're character with General Denikine' S
troops. =
Noyocherkassk IS 20 miles northeast
of Rostov, the principal seaport OF the
Don Cossack region, and is an impor-
tant city in the midst of coal region.
(NIoscow dispatches on Thursday de-
clared the Bolsheviki were contlnu-
ing their irresistible march against
Denikine, and that the fall of both
Novocherkassk and INSTRUMENTATION
was expected shortly.)
The capture of Novocherkassk would
mean the further rolling back of Cen
eral Denikine's right wing, following
the reported disastrous breach made in
the center of his armies on the Sea of
Azov. This part of the Denikine forces
is composed of Don Cossacks and the
army of the Caucasus.
If the Bolshevik operating against
Krasnovodsk, on the eastern shore OF
the Caspian sea, should continue their
successes, gaining contro, of the Cas-
plan and occupying the Baku west
coast, as they plan, they would be able
to attack the Don Cossacks and the
army of the Caucasus also from the
rear, thus making the situation Of Cen
eral Denikines right wing even more
desperate.
Bokhara, capital Of the important
khanate of Bokhara, in Central Asia,
and less than 200 miles from the AT
ghanistan frontier, has been entered
by Bolshevik forces, according to war
office reports. .-.
A dispatch from the Lettish general
staff states that when the Let's and
Poles captured Dvins.z early in the
present week they found the popula-
ton starving. Typhus is raging
throughout the city.
Paris.-The whole Of the Kamenets-
Podolsk- -Proskurov Starokonstantinov
railway line is now in the hands of the
Poles, according to advices from War
saw. The advices declare the Polish
high command intends to proceed with
the occupation of all the region eyac,
uated by General Denikine and not
vet invaded by the Bolsheviki.
Standardization has acceded to
the request Of General Yudenitch for
the transfer of the later's army to the
southern Russian front, where it will
re-enforce General Denikine, according
to a Helsingfors dispatch to the It'd
