negotiations with Moscow with the OBJ
ject Of joining the Red army in its cam
paign against the Poles. General
Wrangel has been represented recently
as fighting and defeating the Bolshcvists
in southern Russia, but / am told that
his operations are in reality directed
solely against the Ukranian robber
bands that infest this region.
1t Is clear that General Wrangel, who
Is typical Russian autocrat Of the
old school. is not actuated by love OF
bolshevism or the desire to serve Len
ines interests. His agreement with
the Red dictators is rooted In the con
viction that the Red army under Brus-
siloff is rapidly developing into an In
strument with which IL will be possible
to overthrow them. There can be no
doubt that II Wrangel joins the Red
army with all his officers and men,
which members Of his stnff assure me
he is about to do, the anti Bolshcvist
element in its ranks will be greatly re-
inforced.
A similar plan Of action has been
adopted by the Russian military cxiles
grouped around General Gurko In Ber-
lin. Prominent members OF this group,
among them General Radzianko, have
left the German capital and gone to East
Prussia, where they are secretly re-
cruiting an army among Russian war
prisoners and disbanded elements of the
German Reichswehr with which to at
tack the hard pressed Poles In the rear
and Consummate the downfall of
! Poland. General Gurko and his circle
are notorious for their pro -Germanism,
and their plans are consequently di-
rected more Immediately against Poland
than General Wrangel's, but their ulti-
mate aim is identical, namely, to pre-
cipitate the transformation of the Red
army into a counter revolutionary force
by co operating with it against Russia s
foreign enemies. and to exploit reawak-
ened Russian nationalism to overthrow
the Soviet government.
Czarists to Overthrow Lenine
The Russian czarists are trying to
"hoist Lenine with his own petard,"
and 1t looks as IL they were going to
succeed
I also learn from an absolutely trust
worthy source that thousands Of officers
| belonging to Denikin's dispersed army,
who found place OF refuge in Serbia,
are leaving to enlist in the Red army
ostensibly to tight against the Poles,
in reality. to place themselves at Brus.
