 BoIShevik Leader
By Associated Press

Constantinople, November 19.-General Wrangel declared today that he and his army and navy were ready to recom- mence fighting immediately, but that his future course had not yet been deter mined. General Wrangeis ship is an' chored in the Sea of Marmoras, but ht has refused to debark, insisting on shar- ing the hardshps on the crowded vessel Gen. Wrangel expressed his thanks to the American nation for the aid given him by the American Red Cross
 The scene aboard General Wrangers s ship today was as brilliant as it was unhappy, his officers wearing gaudy uniforms with their breasts covered with glittering orders. General Wrangel, how. ever, was in the black cossack uniform and wore only the customary silver topped cartridge cases across his breast
 ''I have done all that is humanely pos sible and my conscience is clear" said General Wrangel My troops were over. powered by the desperate onslaughts of six entire soviet armies. They repulsed attacks by 2S divisions until they were exhausted. After most heroic fighting they fell back upon the seacoast, facing terrible onslaught by bolsheviki cavalry sweeping down in southerly direction Thus my troops made possible complete evacuation of the Crimea'

to him which amounted to 5000 in 1918.
 "At that time MT. Sands introduced Mr. Cramer Qater identified as a repre- to me, asking that he get certain pieces of machinery-bending rolls they were which thee fleet corporation was to fur nish the Downey ShpbuiIding company in connection with the construction of ves- sels,' MT. Boiling said and which, while promised to them, were going to be shipped to some other shipbuilding con- cern. He asked me if could help him have these bending rolls shipped to Dcwney.
 Some time after that, Sands told me that he had received a fee for procur- ing these bending rolls from Downey, and offered to divide it with me. I think Ghe fee was $1 GOO I told Sands that under no conditions would I accept any part of it.
 Sands then told me that as he had never paid me any profit on building the house, I having waived same, he would like to pay me what I thought was a fair profit for the work which I had done. I told him that s50O I thought, would be very reasonable, if he wanted to pay it. Even then he did not pay all of it, giving me s200 then and $300 later
 That is about the story, except that Sands has left out that he still owes 800 on the original note on that house. Mir Sands has never given me another cent of money except in his curtailmknts on the note, and l have his last letter saying he could not curtail the same.
