With the spectre of famine hanging over the country the Polish war has become very unpopular in Soviet Russia. The Bolsheviks are now concentrating their forces against General Wrangel's threatening thrust from the south-east. It is interesting to compare the above photographs showing types of men engaged on either side. Nothing can be deduced, of course, from them as to the relative fighting value or equipment of the two armies. The Bolshevists in the lower group are prisoners, and prisoners generally present a more or less ragged appearance with diversities of uniform. (1) Troops of the Posen Division of the Polish Army, equipped in German style. (2) A group of men of the Bolshevist "Red" Army, taken prisoner by the Poles. (3) The man of the hour, Baron Peter Wrangel, head of the Anti-Bolshevist Government of South Russia. (See special article.)
