The General Is Busy Consolidating the Ground Taken--The British Share in the Great Achievement Events Around the Caspian. Ekaterinodar, July 26. --General Denekine has paid visits to Tearit- sin, Kharkoff, Bielgorod and Ekat- erinosalay, and was everywhere re- ceived 'by cheering crowds. His front now extends from the Volga to the Dniester, After the tremen- dous effort of the last two months there is a slight slackening of pace. It is necessary mow to consolidate the ground wom, t0 absorb and ore ganize the thousands' of reservists who are pouring into thé volunteer army. Here and thers the Reds have received reinforcements, and are exerting a slight pressure on Denikine's scattered outposts. But the 1ull 4s only temporary = and Denikine has already given the or- der to his tfoods "On to Moscow!" Within a very short time the ad- vance will be resumed with new energy. The British share 'in this great achievement, though comparatively slight in quantit . i¢ remarkable in its' moral and muterial effect. Brit- ish tanks, guns, airplanes and 4n- structors have given an extraordin. ary impetus to the latént Russian forces and happily hastened the pro- cess that might have dragged out painfully to the same inevitable end. When Denikine passed In his car through the streets of Kharkoff, women, weeping for joy, pressed fo ward to kiss his hand, and those who could nat 'do thet kissed even the mudguards of his car, 5!
