10. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Russian counter-revolutionary Army under Prince Lieven, recently at Libau, was equipped by the German military authorities; whether General von der Goltz and other German officers had joined this Army; whether this Army had recently been furnished with Allied transports; and whether this Army came under the orders of General Sir Hubert Gough or was otherwise co-operating with the Allies in the Eastern Baltic provinces?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)

The force under Prince Lieven, recently at Libau, was equipped by the German military authorities. As far as is known neither General von der Goltz nor other German officers have joined this force. A portion of the force was recently moved by sea in ships provided locally. The force is not under the orders of General Sir Hubert Gough.
