3410. British Admiral Sinclair has arrived Copenhagen from Riga. He reported that when he received orders to leave city was defenceless against approaching regular Bolshevik forces few kilometers distant and that Bolshevik elements within the city were beginning uprisings. Some Lettish, from the troops to whom arms had been given by British, had joined these uprisings. It is now believed certain that city is in the hands of Bolsheviks. Repeated American Mission.
