DENIKIN BEATEN BACK.
BOLSHEVIKS SEND BIG FORCES.
LONDON, November 27... It is semi-officially stated that the Bolshevists have driven back Denikin's forces to a maximum depth of fifty miles along most of the front. During the last six months the Bolshevists have sent 350,000 men and 1,000 guns against Dentkin, who has probably been forced to retreat further, but important forces which may redress the balance will be available for him; wing to events in Ukraine where the defection of fifteen thousand Galician troops mada Petlura's position desperate, while the capture of Makhno's brigands by Denikinites is imminent. This means the removal of the danger to Denikin's lines of supply which caused a diversion of troops from the ante Bolabevist front.
CHEAPER GAS.
LONDON, November 27. In the House of Commons at question-time Mr. W. C. Bridgeman stated that adjustments in the prices of domestic electricity and gas would be made in consequence of the reduction of the price of coal.

PARIS, Nov. 26.
M. Clemenceau as the peace conference chairman has sent a note to the German government complaining that the departure of Herr Simson was imperilling the early ratification of the peace treaty.
The German government opposes a denial to the assertion that the departure of Herr Simson was influenced by the attitude of the American Senate against the peace treaty. Herr Simson will soon be due in Paris again.

TANKS.
AWARDS TO INVENTORS-AND OTHERS. "-
LONDON, November 27,
The royal commission or awards to inventors has reported regarding the various claims in respect of tanks. The report records that it was primarily due to the receptivity, courage, and driving force of Winston Churchill that the general idea was put it practice. The report attributes the principal credit for designing the production of the tank to Sir William Tritton and Major Wilson, to whom £15,000 is jointly awarded Major- general Swinton is awarded £1,000. The report recognises the still greater value of his work of advocacy of the use of the tank, for which a pecuniary reward would be inappropriate. Another claimant was awarded £1,000;| there were also two of £500 each. Some claimants were disqualified because their investigations were within the scope of their duties.
