Only small skirmishes skir-mishes with fleeing soldiers took place. The Red guards offered no resistance, while the artillery and infantry were demobilizing and wholly unprepared to light. Attempts to evacuate the city were successful. Much heavy artillery and lurge quantities of ammunition fell into the hands of the Germans. The civil population had no opportunity to escape. The commissaries of the local Workmen's Work-men's and Soldiers' Council tried to escape disguised as soldiers but they wore seized by the Germans. oo |
