Reval this week, they could dam
the bolshevist food which has been
numbering, burning and plundering
Esthonia and Livona, according to
a declaration made to the CORE
spondent by Baron Aexkuell of Es-
thonia, who escaped from that coun-
try Thursday.
Baron Aexkuell reports that Ger
man forces had begun to evacuate
Narva, when they were attacked and
defeated by Russian troops.
Last Tuesday white guards, COM
handed by former Russian officers,
we're attacked by a superior boil
shevist force. The guards gave pro-
lection a month ago to 500 Russians
who alleged they had deserted from
the bolshvist army because of bad
treatment. They brought q ma
chine guns with them While the
attack was proceeding Tuesday
these Russians fired upon the white
guards from the rear, contributing
materially to their defeat. The white
guards, half annihilated, retreated.
Esthonian workmen are nearly all
bolshevists, according to Baron
Aexkuell, and the middle classes of
Esthonia and Livonia are facing the
same reign of terror that the bour-
geosie of Russia have suffered.
