DENIKIN'S SMASHING VICTORIES.
A UNITED ANTI-BOLSHEVIK FRONT.
London, August 12. Further official details of General Denikin's recent success show that his advance is continuing on the greater part of the South, Russian front against confiderable enemy resistance. General Denikin's capture of Kamishin is of greater importance than, at first estimated.
His captures included 11,000 prisoners, 60 guns and immense material. Two crack Bolshevik regiments were completely shattered. Kanwhile General Denikin's advanced cavalry effected junction with the left wing of the Ural-Cossacks near Eltonskoe. $5 miles south- east of Kamishin. The effect of this junction with the left wing of Admiral Koltchak's; Army is bound to be great, as a inited anti- Bolshevik front now exists along the whole of East and South Russia, from the Northern Urals to the north-west corner of the Black Sea, and in the latter area only 50 miles separate General Denikin's left wing from the right wing of the Rumanian Army along the Dniester, The booty taken at the capture of Poltava included 136 railway: engines, 1,200 waggons, two armoured trains and 20 guns.
