GEORGIA'S DEBACLE.
IN ZRRESISTIBUE ONRUSH. PRO-BOLSHEVIK RISING. (Iteceived 11.30 a.m.l LONDON, March G. The "Morning Post's" Constantinople correspondent states that fifty thousand Russian troops overran Georgia, which stoutly resisted, but encircling cavalry movements with vjnks and aeroplanes were too strong for the Georgians, who were unable to hold up the Bolshevik onrush, though there was stern fignt,irig in Tiflis before the town was evacuated. A pro-Bolshevik rising disorganised the Georgian services and was quelled with difficulty. The (ieorgian retirement then became disorderly. Kemalist troops meanwhile seized Ardahan and Artvin, and are now attacking Trebizond. The Kemalists, 'however, do not favour the Bolsheviks, and may fijrht tliem- for Batoum. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
