[Received March 7—12:28 a.m.]

Last Czech troops left Irkutsk February 25, 6 p.m. Last Czech allies including Servians, Rumanian, Poles, left Irkutsk March 3, 6 p.m. There are 82 Czech and Czech-Allied trains now on Trans-Baikal to be evacuated which may be increased by allotting fewer soldiers to each car. We are trying to evacuate three trains per diem from the Trans-Baikal.
