RUSSIANS OVERRUN
 PART OF ARMENIA
Armenian Troops Number 25,000, Many of Whom
 Are BOlshevists
By Associated Press

Constantinople, July 24.-Considerabie Russian bolshevik forces, chiefly caval- ry, are overrunning the Karabagh dis trict of Armenia, known "the Black Garden" apparently with the purpose of joining the Turkish nationalists and the Russian bolsheviki approaching Shusha It is reported that Enver Pasha is ac- companying the forces, which constitutes a special army created for operations in Turkey.
 The Armenians proba bly, aggregate only 25 900 troops, many of whom are de- ,.clared to be of bolshevik tendencies, and Armenian resistance to large bol- shevik movement, therefore, it is be- lieved, will be ineffective.
 Unrest is growing in Georgia. Greek and other foreigners are leaving Batum and Poti by hundreds daily. Agtators are fomenting quarrels between the Georgians and Tartars and Turks at Ba- tum. where the situation is reported 10 be critical. The Armenians have pro tested to Moscow against the alleged violation of the treaty recently conciud- ed with the soviet government. It IS stated however, that all treaties with the bolsheviki in the Caucasus were wholly time-gaining devices, which were dsregarded as soon as the fighting with Poland began.
 Foreign observers express the >beiie' that the bolsheviki can take over entire control in the Caucasus whenever they see fit, including control of the railway and troop dispositions.
 Mustapha Renal Pasha, the national ist leader. continues to issue communl- cations declaring that the Greek sue cesses are unimportant. These comruni- cations declare that as the bolshevil1 are coming to the support of the ma. tionals, the Turks .will continue to re- treat eastward, if necessary, until they obtain satisfactory positions from which to give battle.
