saries will flee into Turkestan taking
advantage of a gap between the Denl-
kline and Kolchak forces in the Volga

from the British Mission at Helsing-
fors dated October 10, which says
that at that time all Lettish troops
in Riga had been withdrawn to the
east bank of the Duna river, the
bridges having been blown up. When
the dispatch was filed the Let's and

! changing rife fire across the river

the hands of the former was being
bombarded with gas shells and also
bombed by airplanes.
