MARCH OF BOLSHEVISM.
THE ATTACK ON GEORGIA. CAPTURE OF THE CAPITAL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 1, 8.5 p.m. London, Feb. 28. Reports as to the position at Tiflis are conflicting, and a Georgian Government telegram states it has not fallen. A Constantinople correspondent states anarchy and pillage are rampant in Tiflis, due to the Bolshevik agents demoralising the Georgian army, which later melted away, allowing the Bolshevik army to capture the town without resistance. Another Bolshevik army is marching upon Batoum, on which a Turkish army is also marching. The Moslem population will be certain to support the latter.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
[Tiflis is the capital of the new State of Georgia, in Translancasia, in the Black Sea region.]
