Wrangel Clings y
to Strategic Point
Protecting Crimea

Paris, Nov. General Wrangel is
still holding the Isthmus of Perekop,
the only means of ingress to the
Crimean peninsula by land. and the
military situation from his stand
point is not hopeless, according to
information which has reached the
French foreign Office, in a report
from Nj. de Martels, the French high
commissioner at Sebastipol.
Wrangel is confident the Bolshe-
Wiki will be unable to break through
his line Of defense at the Isthmus
and invade the Crimea.
The French government has not
changed its attitude toward the mill
tary situation in South Russia, and
as recently indicated will not send
military assistance to Wrangel. A
French warship will be dispatched
from Toulon Tuesday, not to keep
the Isthmus of Perekop under the
range of naval guns. but so that a
vessel may be necessarily on hand to
remove the French colony should
such need arise. "a Constantipople
dispatch flied November 4 said the
French and British representatives
there had asked their governments
IL their warships in Black Sea wa
tiers should support General Wrangel
ct Perekop and Salkova. There was
no intimation as to whether replies
to this inquiry had been received.)
