Graham and Nulenburg ran up and helped the policeman to make his way to firm ground.

Disregarding his own dan ger, the patrolman had the two men in the boat hand him a rope which he tied under Bolough's arms. Prazek, with the assistance of his two companions, got back into the boat and they pulled Bolough to safety. Kemf^Balsam WillStopthatCouch GUARANTEED SEE BOLSHEVIKS LOSE IN RUSSIA BY DECEMBER 1 British Military Experts Look For Definite End of Rus sian Campaign London, Nov. 12. —British military experts believe the Russian Bolshe vik! cannot withstand the onslaughts of their enemies longer than two months and that something definite is likely to happen in i the Russian campaign by December 1. It is pointed out that the Bolshev iki have employed German tactics in moving men from one front to an other with more or less success but that recently each success has beon a little less marked than the previous one and that it is reasonable to sup pose that such tactics in the end must break down unless one enemy is com pletely subdued. When the Bol shcvlki centered against Kolchak some months ago and drove him back 700 miles, their southern front was left weak whereupon General Denikine started his advance which has resulted in clearing up South Russia. The Bolsheviki have withdrawn many men from the Kolchak front, giving the Admiral a chance to ad vance. In the meantime the west ern front has become a menace to Bolshevism. The British experts be lieve peace was broached to the Bal tic states because the Bolsheviki real ized they no longer could hold back their enemies on three sidis and maintain the force in northern Rus sia also.
