§ 83. Mr. KINGasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he will state the last date on which there were communications passing, or other relations, between the War Office and General Yermoloff, or any of General Yermoloff's staff; and whether he is aware that General Yermoloff has no commission and no authority under the present Russian Government?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThere have been no communications between the War Office and General Yermoloff or any of his staff, except those relative to the winding-up of the affairs with which General Yermoloff was concerned and the disposal of the Russian officers for whom the latter was responsible. As regards the last part of the question, I am aware that General Yermoloff's position is analogous to that of other officials appointed by the late Russian Government.
