His Party Are Taken
Prisoners
THIRD ARMY DESTROYED
Czecho.Slovak and Siberian
Forces Take 81, 900 Cap.
tives at Perm
By the Associated Press

vIadivostok. Dec. 80 tdeaycd). - In
capturing Perm, in the Ural Mountains,
General Gaida, at the head of Czecho-
Slovak and Siberian forces, virtually de-
stroyed the Bolshevik Third Army, from
which he took 81 900 prisoners. General
Gaida's troops captured an armored
train, from which Nikolai Lenine, the
Bolshevik Premier, was directing opera
tions in the region of Perm. Lenine
himself escaped. but several members of
his party we're taken prisoners.
The exploit of General Gaida in cap
turing Perm parallels his success in the
campaign last summer. His superiors
opposed his plan Of attack against Perm
and he carried out the operation at the
risk of removal from his command. The
bulk of his force was made up of Sibe-
rian troops, but he had two regiments
of Czechs In his army.
In addition to the 81 900 prisoners re-
ported. General Giada captured 5000
railway cars, 120 field guns, 1000 ma
chine guns, thirty automobiles, an entire
wagon transport, several armored trains
and several thousand horses. His ma
neuver was a complete surprise to the
Bolshevists. as proved by the fact that
he captured several prominent Soviet
leaders at the headquarters of the third
Bolshevist army. Ten Bolshevist regi-
ments are declared to have been anni-
hilated and the rest Of the enemy army
was driven across the Kama River.
TroODS Of General SemenOff tho anti
Bolshevist leader in the Chita district,
have occupied Verkhni Udnsl. on the
Siberian railway east of Lake Baikal.
Two hundred thousand Russian SOL
diers released from German prisons are
expected to pass through Omsk within a
fortnight. The Russians are destitute
and in a serious condition from exposure
and lack of food.
