By reason of the superficiality of his occupation, the situation in the rear of Anton Denikin's army is bad and steadily growing worse. What ruined Aleksandr Kolchak may also ruin Denikin. It may be said that railway transportation in his territory is at the lowest imaginable ebb. In addition to the bandits' activity there is the terrible fuel scarcity. The coal in the Don basin, despite optimistic reports from propaganda headquarters, is not being mined to any visible extent. Wood is used almost exclusively on the railroad, except in the region of the Don. It happens quite frequently that trains have to stop while passengers and train hands go off to look for an old shed to break up and stoke the engine. So his army at the front is badly supplied. |
