GEORGIA OVER-RUN.
BY REDS AND TURKS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. •London, March 6. The 'Morning Post’s Constantinople correspondent says that 50,000 Russian troops over-ran Georgia, which stoutly resisted, but encircling cavalry movements with tanks and aeroplanes were too strong and the Georgians were unable to hold up the Bolshevik onrush, though stern fighting took pdace at Tiflis before the town was evacuated. A pro-Bolshevik rising disorganised the Georgian defence! and was quelled with difficulty. The Georgian retirement then became disorderly. The Kemalist troops meanwhile seized Ardahan and Artvin and are now attacking Trebizond. The Kemalists, however, do not favor the Bolsheviks and may fight them for Batoum.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
