Air Wilton, the correspondent of the '' Times,” , who traversed Kolchack’s front and joined Denikin’s armies, telegraphs:—This civil war is terrible. It is typhus stricken, replete with wounds and death, yet unlike other wars there are no trenches and no front line. The opposing forces;, hold villages, from which they throw’ out pickets, periodically attempting to capture other villages, which may he miles away. The white forces show sterling spirit— Christians and-, Aloslems. The whole population of 'the Ural districts have demanded Mobilisation, in order to’ protect their families from Bolshevik reprisals. What they need are shirts, to give them a chance 'of escaping typnuy which is filling the hospitals quicker than wounds.
