FIRST STORY GIVEN OF THE DOWNFA ALL .0F WRANGEL ARMY Defeat Is Ascribed By Officer to 0verconfidence and Lack of Appreciation of Ene-
 my's Strength
By Associated Press

Constsntinople, November 2o-The first story of the downfall of Gen. Baron Wrangeps white army was given the correspondent today by one of Baron Wrangers own officers, who has just ar rived here. General Wrangel's defeat was ascribed by the officer to the over confidence of General wrangel and lack of appreciation of the strength of the enemy forces.
 The operations across the Dneiper in October, the officer said, had shown the bolAhevik condemnation to be moro considerable than had been anticipated and this induced General Wrangel to give up his positions in Taurida and withdraw within the Crimean fortified positions, where he waited the bolshevik offensive complacently. The principal reason given by the officer for the suc- cess of the bolsheviki was Improvement in the railway system and the disposi- tion of considerable bolshevik reserves. The boisheviki started their drive two days earlier than General Wrangel had planned to retreat from Taurtda, his to Perekop leaving the remainder of his army, except the Don Cossack cavalry corps, on the Tschongar isthmus. While this retreat was going on the Don corps counter attacked in northwesterly di- rection and successfully reached the Dnieper, where the panic-stricken bolshe- wiki destroyed the pontoon bridges.
 General Wrangel then hastily reformed three corps under General Kutiepoff, which, after brief resistance against the bolsheviki, moved southward to cut ofr Budennys cavalry, which was ad. vancing with extreme rapidity toward the southeast from point near Salkayo Budenny's cavalry already had reached Salkovo and was threatening to cut off the retreat of General Wrangel's right wing. The bolsheviki, taking advantage of the freezing of the Putrid sea, crossed and outflanked the Wrangel forces, ap- bearing in considerable strength at Armi-' anski- Baxar. They thus were enabled to advance the main body of their artillery without difficulty to Perekop, where their superiority in guns have given them the advantage in a front attack on General Wrangels principal lines.
 Wrangels evacuation of the Crimea was in marked contrast to that of Odes sa. It was executed according to plan with minimum loss, after such a se- were defeat

ASSEMBLY SEEKS MEDIATION
 IN TURK CONFLICT
Unanimously Vote to Appeal to Powers to Undertake to End Hostilities With
 ArmenianS
BN Associated Prcss

Geneva, November 22.-The assembly of the League of Nations decided without dissenting vote today to appeal to the powers in the hope of finding a govern rent to undertake a mediation between the Turkish nationalists and Mustapha Kemal Pasha and the Armenians
 An earnest debate preceded the vote on the resolution which was presented by M. Viviani. former premier of France. inviting the council of the league to take the action indicated. It threatened at times, however, to justify the predictions of the leagues opponents that the work of the assembly would founder on tho rule requiring unanimous vote
 Lord Robert Cecil, A. J. Balfour, Rene viviani H. J. Almar Granting, pr. Fridtjofnansen, c, J. Dougherty (Canada) and M Stalaiovch (Jugo-Slaya) partici- pated. but the real contest was between Nj. viviani and Balfour
 MT. Balfour explained the failure of the league council to find mandatory for Armenia. He referred to the refusal of the United States to accept such a mandate and hoped that the commit tee of the assembly might do better.
 The former French premier pleaded warmly for prompt action, provoking the first encouraging demonstration of the assembly. He. declared if the assembly was unable to do better than name an-, other committee it would proclaim it's own impotence.
 It was remarked that Lord Robert Cecil applauded vigorous from the South African bench while the English. dele gates, Mir Balfour and Fl. A. L. Fisher, remained stolidly indifferent.
 It seemed evident MT. Balfour was fighting against an eventual military ex- petition, more than against mediation which was proposed by M Viviani.
 The general impression after the debate was that the assembly favored fighting Renal Pasha if no other way was found tc end the conflict in Armenia
 There was a moment of supreme ten sion when the vote was reached, as the attitude of MT. Balfour seemed to indi- cate that he would prevent unanimous vote NJ Viviani. Lord Robert Cecil, Gastoa Dacunha. M. La Fontaine (Bel- gium). H. I. AImar Brantling and Dr. Nansen conferred and decided to combine on the proposition, as advocated by the French and South African delegates
 To the great relisf and surprise of the assembly Mir. Balfouf was one of the first to rise and vote in favor of the resolution The council of the league met this evening, but took no action relative to the resolution.
 Mir. Balfour. on leaving the assembly room was asked what action had been taken. He shrugged his shoulders and merely described the proceedings as that curious meeting this morning. F Dr. Da Cunha of Brazil in replying to A question as to what action had been taken. said:

90 SH|PLOADS OF
 CRNMEAN REFUGEES
 WRITING IN MISERY
Terrible Catastrophe Feared Unless Thousands Aboard Floating Hospitals and
 Nav Houses Landed
By Associated Press

Constantinople November 22.-The condition of the refugees aboard the 90 or more ships strung along the Bos- phcrus is appalling and a terrible catastrophe is feared unless the prompt est measures are taken to land the thousands who are writing in misery and pain. The correspondent visited several of these floating hospitals and mad houses" today and returned to shore with forebodings of impending calamity. None of the refugees has as yet been taken ashore, excepting the sick and diseased and the insane. the latter of whom have been extremely numerous.
 As the correspondent rode across the BoSphorus an unpleasant odor from the ships was apparent notwithstand- ing q strong, cold sea breeze. An American relief officer accompanied him. As soon as the pair boarded the ships the clothing of both were vir- tually torn off by half rnaddened refu- gees who begged to be taken to land on the open hills which border the Bos- phorus.

 In some cases the refugees have been without water for II days.
 The correspondent heard that there had been numerous suicides of desper ate refugees going insane during the night hours. They spoke of ghostly temptation and the sobbing call of the sea at night when they were dying with thirst. Numerous refugees were restrained from Jumping overheard, but many succeeded.
 The American navy is assisting in transporting sick women to hospitals and the near east relief also has been prominent in the work. War-hardened relief nurses were moved to tears by rnaddened mothers offering their chil dren to visitors, and the scenes of sep aration have been beyond description.
 The death rate has been abnormal as the result of the biting cold and the lack of food The American Red Cross is offering 36000 rations daily and sev- eral Americans are offering donations and subscriptions.
 The French government which is in full charge of the relief work. is in- 4eApable of dealing with the situation, and is appealing to tha near east relief whose funds are limited. The fear was expressed by the ships officers that cases Of cannibalism would occur iin- less food supplies are received prompt Iy. In many cases they had to fight off maddened men from slaying chil- dren, they declared.
