An U|tiInatunl By
 Russian Soviets
Demanding Evacuation of Bessarabia by Rumanians -Rumania Given 48 Hours in Which to Reply.

London, May 2.-The Russian Soviet government has sent a despatch to Rumania demanding the evacuation of Bessarabia. A wireless despatch from Moscow says that the Ruman- ian government is given forty eight hours in which to make a reply.
 Bessarabia is a former Russian pro- vince populated mostly by Rumani- ans and to which Rumania has laid claim. On the retirement of the Germans after the signing of the armistice Rumanian troops occupied Bessarabia.
 A Bolshevik official statement on April II reported that the Rumanians had been defeated in fighting along the Dniester river and were retiring from Bessara bia, The Rumanian government, however, denied that it's troops were evacuating the province. The Russian ultimatum to Ruman- ia may have been made in view of the successful campaign against the Communist government in Hungary.
