588. With reference to my No. 585, November 18, 6 p.m., Lindley now informs me that Milne is not ordered to Odessa but to Batum to see to Turkish evacuation of Caucasus. From a personal telegram to Ironside for [from?] headquarters London it appears that British do not contemplate important operations in the south of Russia at present but will support Denikin with money and material.
