The science of war has gone backto the methods of a hundred years ago in South Russia where the Cossacks are driving the Bolsheviks back towards Moscow. With no artillery and very little equipment, the "Volunteer" army of General Denikine is defeating the enemy by sheer individual daring and recklessness. This is a skirmish line on the South Russia front. It would offer small protection under conditions prevailing on the old Western Front. But when the Bolsheviks summon daring enough to make it uncomfortable, the Cossacks get up and charge, and one charge of these Cossacks keeps the enemy satisfied with fighting for a month. The South Russians want an independent Russian government. The American Red Cross found their families suffering hardships uncomplainingly because their men were "fighting for the good of Russia"
