FIT ONLY FOR SCRAP-HEAP
REMNANTS OF RUSSIAN NAVY. London, April 5 The “Daily Chronicle's” Paris correspondent savs: The last remnants of the Russian Navy, twelve vessels, only good for the scran-heap, have arrived, nt Ville Franche Bay under the command of General Wrangel. Not one of the vessels would be granted entrance to any port possessing an authoritative health officer. The vessels carried composite crews of heroes and undesirables. One was commanded by Captain Priantz.in. who blew up the Rurik rather than surrender to the Japanese. To-morrow tugs t’ke the vessels to Marseilles, where German, Italian, and Spanish junk dealers are waiting to tight tor the carcasses.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
