Paris,
Nov.
14th. —-Genl.
Wrangel’s
army,
though
beaten,
is continuing to
retreat southward,; according
to informa-
tion received by the Foreign
Office today,
pursued
by
a well commanded Bolsheviki
army of 27 divisions,
General
Wrangel
has suffered great losses
and
many of his
officers bave been killed.
The evacuation
of Sebastopol
by civilians and foreigners,
is under
way, acegrding to Foreign Office
advices,
but the members
of Genl. Wran-
gel’s Govt. were still in
Sebastopol
last
night, although
the Boisheviki
were
re-
ported
t@ be
occupying Simferopol
and
eapturing many prisoners
and large quan-
tities of materials.
'lnformation reaching
the: Forefgn
Office,
says
the
Bolsheviki
did not storm the Perekop
line, but by an
enveloping
movement
of their left wing
invaded the
Crimea.
They crossed
owbr
the ice-frozen
putrid
sea
and
atta_ckc‘-N
the main body of Genl.
.
Wrangel’s
troops
which then were still holding the Perekop
defenses
from the
rear.
General
Wran-
gel has
decided
not to
attempt
guirilla
warfare in
the Crimea,
the
information
adds,
owing
to
the overwhelming
Bol-
shevik
forces
on the Peninsula
which
are
variously
estimated
at
between
150,000
and 200,000
men.
General
Wrangel
has
gone
on
board
one of
the
French
war-
ships in*Sebastopol,
but
the
vessel
is still
remaining in port,
says
the advice.
The
evacuation
is continuing,
but there
is
in-
adequate
shipping for the number of per-
sons
seeking
to
flee.
Genl.
Wrapgel’s
troops are declared
to have fought splen-
didly in the battle of their
defeat,
which
begun
with the
loss lof Perekop
and
soon
developed
into
a
wild
retreat
toward
headquarters
at Sebastopol.
Despatches
received
at the
Foreign
Ministry
there,
as
erts that there have been
no mutinies.
The
despatches
say
the white
army
In-
flicted
heavy
losses
on
the
Bolsheviki,
but that they were
overwhelmed
by
the
Reds,
who
are
reported
to be well
orga-
nized and Jed.
Some
of their officers are
said to be Germans.

Geneva,
Nov.
12th.—Lord
Robert
Cecil,
one of the
chief authorities
of the
League
of
Nations— Covenant,
who
is
coming
to
the
Assembly
of the
[League
as
a
delegate
from
South
Africa,
will
support
the
proposed
admissicn
to
the
League
of former
enemy
states,
it
is
expected
here,
Italy, Switzerland,
the
Seandinavian
States,
some
of the
South
American
nations
are
understood
to
be
favourable
to
such
a plan.
France,
bel-
giom, Rumania,
Jugo-Slavia
and Czecho-
Slovakia will resist
the admission
of Ger-
many
and Hungary
although
they
are
not
unfavourshle
to
Aunstria
and
Rul
garia.
There
are indications
in
League
circles that the drift toward admission
of
former
enemy
countries
is
strong
and
likely to reach
the necessary
two-thirds
of the
powers,
unless
a compromise
is
effected.
The sentiment
is growing that
whatever
may be the merits
of
the case,
the discussion
in the assembly
is likely to
develop
&
sharp
controversy
whic'
the
leading members
of the League
desire
to
avoid.
*Attention is being directed
to the
anomaly of admitting Germany
while she
is still technically at war with the United
States.
The
meeting
of
the
assembly
wi'l be held
in the Hall
of the
(eforma-
tion Auditorium, seating
