GENERAL WRANGEL AS AN
ENGINEER.
General Wrangel, who was in Zagrab, Jugo-Slavia, recently, is retiring into pri- vate life. He will be remembered as the Bucoessor of Denikin, and as the com- mander of the last Russian forces to offer resistance to the Bolshevistas. He was a brave and upright soldier, but his task in Russia was a hopeless one from the start
For the last seven years he has spent most of his time in Jugo-Slavia, a country which, in spite of the poverty of its State coffers, has done more for the exiled Fus- sians than any other State in Europe..
General Wrangel went to Zagrab in order to take his leave of the numerous Russian officers there who fought under him in the Crimea From Jugo-Slavia be will go to Belgium, where he has been offered a post as engineer in a large Belgian enterprise.
