transport
‘‘Gulfport’”’ were
enjoying
a
sea
bath
on
Saturday,
the
renowu
““Clutch ng

and
some
others,
small
boys,
made
their
appearance
and
moved off with $87.00 Am. Cy.
from the
pocket of one
of
the officers’ coat.
This
is a
bad
recommendation
for St.
Crrix,
and itonly
comes
from
carelessness
on
the p
rt of parents
in giving proper
at-
tention
to their children,
allowing
them
to become
nuisances
in
the
community.
Luckily through
the
keenness
of Inspec-
tor Ross
a $50.00
note of the
amount has
been
recovered.

London,

situaticn
in Russia
is as
bad
as
could
be
from
an
anti-Bolshevik point
of
view,
acecrding
to War Office reports,
and there
are
few
stgns,indicacing
any
likely improvement.
General Denekine’s
army
has
been
cut
in two through the Bolsheviki dash
to the
Sea of Azov at Taganrog,
and
its
flunks
have
been
thrust
back leaving

large
gap.
In

from
the Bolsheviki of the eapturec
of Krasno-
vodsky

of this important
point
creates
a
grave
possibility
that
the
Reds
may
overrun
