VAST EXTENT OF. AUSTRIAN DEFEAT IS NOW REVEALED

Rochester, Nov. 21.---The extent of the Austrian military disaster which preceded the appeal of Austria for an armistice, is indicated by figures made public last night by Edward A. Moree, representing the Italian Bureau of Public Information in New York City. These figures show that practically the whole Austrian army, men and equipment, was in the hands of Italy before the armistice terms were signe6. One million Austrian prison CTS had been counted up to the first of this week, all of them captured since the beginning of the Italian drive which put Austria out of the war. Prisoners are still surrendering, being driven out of the caves and the high mountain passes by the severi- ties of winter. There were left barely 200, COO men of the Austrian army who 'wetreated in great disorder across the
 border.
 The tremendous effort of taking an ] inventory of the booty captured is still
 engaging the best efforts of the Ital- ian army; 1000 guns, heavy and light. i have been counted; 2,500 horses and i F, 600 automobiles and auto-trucks i have also been counted.

RUSSIA BLEEDING.
 TO DEATH IN 4 REIGN OF TERROR
Worse Than the French ReVO- lution" Is Report Which
 Archangel Sends.

Asehangel, Nov. 21.---(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press. )--- Russia is fast bleeding to death through a reign of terror which is worse than that of the French Rev olution, and it Is time the nations of the earth came here to put down one Of the worlds greatest evils" Presi- dent Nicholas Tschaikovsky of the Provisional Government of the North, told correspondent of The Asscciat- ed Press today.
 "It is no longer a question of poll ties" he continued. Inside the Bol- shevik lines the situation is worse than the French reign of terror. Vic tins executed now must be counted | by the tens of thousands. All hair l splitting political reasons aside, the world must know that the Bolsheviks are no longer even a party, but are now merely a group of men deter mined to hold what they have seized | by the merciless slaughter of those fwho oppose them.
 Tt is now only the question of put ting down an evil. Persons escaping from Moscow, Petrograd and Voligda and reaching here bring indisputable stories of the executions. The situa- tion seems beyond the control of some Bolshevik leaders who themselves are revoting at the bloodshe1."
 Nothing can bring Russia out o1 this chaos until the Bolshevik terror has been quashed by the force ot arms" said Tschaikovsky. "The force now here is unable to do this quickly Meanwhile hundreds are dying daily.

MINERALS OF TIE. BALKANS ID MAKE
 PENINSULA RICH
Immense Deposits of Many Val uable Minerals Ready for
 Capital to Develop.

Rome, Nov. -(Correspondenc of The Associated Press) min eral deposits in the Balkans are of such extent that the Serbs, Bulgar- fans, Greeks and Rumanians may make the peninsula immensely rich after the war if they quit fighting and settle down to business" said Rev. Francis Jager, of Minneapolis, who spent eight months with the Al lied armies doing American Red Cross work.
 Why, the principal pastime of a lot of the French soldiers there was | washing out the gold from the river bottoms. The mountains are rich in coal, copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver iron and oil This is particularly true of the territory claimed by the Serbs. Last winter the soldiers about Monastir kept themselves warm by digging coal I saw one group of soldiers dig holes two feet down and strike a six-inch vein oi coal, and on digging further down they struck vein which did not give out after a depth of eighteen feet.
 'In going about among the pool families of the country l frequently found them in possession of pieces 3i almost pure gold. They told me they had picked it up out of the beds ol nearby streams.

The world must understand that Bolshevisrn, like imperialism, is a foe to democracy. It is in Russia a mere dictatorship a group of men holding sway by force of arms. They seize every straw, falsifytng logic to justify themselves. As. an example they now declare that the proposed league of nations is only another scheme to give power to the bourgeoise against the workingmen."
 Perhaps the world will naturally ask what Russia is doing to help her ] self" sat5 Tschaikovsky, "and I can only answer that we are doing our best. A recent example is the reor- ganlzatien of the Government of the North. Now every party and every class is represented. Forgetting pol 1ties they are turning their efforts to- ward putting down the Bolshevik evil. We are mobilizing our forces, but the Allies must help"

Abassador Francis has arrived in Scotland from Russia, the State De- partment announced yesterday after noon. He is taking a short vacation. He is expected to be in Paris to con- latter's arrival there.
 Yesterday the Senate Foreign Re- :ations committee, by common con- sent, decided not to suggest to the President that some of it's members be included in the peace conference that will sail with the President.
 Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the committee, assured the members that the President probably will confer with the committee before going abroad and certainly would confer with it upon his return.
 '"The committee" said Senator Hitchcock, believes the President vii inform it directly of all action taken at the peace barley. It Is prob- able the President will confer person. ally with the Senators upon his return as to tho program of events at the peace table"
 The Lodge resolution declaring 1t to be the sense of the Senate that there should be a free and independent Poland, was brought up yesterday, but action on it was deferred in defer ence to the President.
 There is a strong possibility tha1 the United States will be the tacit rep resentative of the Russian people al the peace conference. Prince Lvoff the first Prime Minister of Russia after the overthrow of the Czar, may go to Paris in an unofficial capacity and be accorded an audience at the | conference, but the United States vii carry through its role as a protector l and friend of Russia. Prince Lvoff nov is a guest at the Russian embassy l here.
 Upon his arrival in France, tht | President will be met not only by off cials of that government, but also by the American ambassa dors and min. isters now in Europe. They will con. fer with him in Paris and by estab l fishing personal contact with theil chief, they are expected to be able tt
 give him much information which vii | be of great value to him when tht | conference opens.

Washington, Nov. 21-The peace conference at Versailles. in all prob ability, will be a short affa8f and Pres ident Wilson may remain for the en- tire session. Information to this ef- feet, reaching the Capital yesterday, intimated that the Allies and the United States already had reached a practical agreement on the broad principles which will form the foun- dation of the final treaty.
 With the war won, and only a brief interval before the fruits of victory will be tasted, no grievances or diff ferences will be allowed to disrupt Che program which has been mapped ! out by this nation and the Entente govaSs ments.
 The Presidents reasons for sending | Colonel House to France were not en- tirely fulfilled when the armistice conditions were formulated Oat Yer sailles Although the worst was ! over" a new and more dangerous | period came into being at that time, and Colonel Houses chief work since , then has been to act as the interme- . diary between the President and the heads of the Allied nations in the . exchange of views that have been go- { ing on as a necessary prelude to the i conference.
 It is in the interest of harmony i that the President is going abroad, for i he realizes how fearful would be a quarrel among friends at this parti- 1 cular time. Developments up to the present have been so satisfactory as to indicate 'all is we'll" as far as the future is concerned.
 If the program goes through as per arrangements, Germany will be
 given the alternative of signing the
 treaty on sight almost, or of facing 2 i future devoid of an iota of materia
 assistance from the Allies and thl United States.
 The associated Powers will occupy the same position they occupied a
 the time the German delegates me Marshal Foch and read, with archet
 eye brows, no doubt, the conditions o1
 the armistice, That they attempted
 to obtain mitigation and fared poorl!
 has been clearly portrayed by For.

 London, Nov. 21-The aim of re- construction in France and Belgium will be to restore the means of pro- duction, asserts Dr. Christopher Ad- dison, British Minister of Reconstruc- ton.
 The textile trades in Germany D he said, may have counted upon the advantage which the destruction of looms would give them in the mar kets of the world. The burden of the restoration of. the machinery must fall upon those who destroyed it."
 It would be within the power of the Allies, said Dr. Addison, to with hold from Germany cotton or other goods unntil the Germans had made good the machinery they had destroy ed. In the economic weapon, he pointed out, civilization had a great means for obtaining internationa! justice.

OIL TO BE KING In FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown in War as We'll as In IN
dustriaI and Domestic Life.

The European war Is without q
doubt doing more to direct general at
tention to the claims of oil and its null
titudiness products than any amount
of advertising in normal times could
have accomplished, says writer IN
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date war
fare is no less than in either the indus
trial circles or in domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities OF
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to tind
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did, but
that a particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and sue
cessfully soto engage in the produc-
ton, the refining, the transport or the
distribution of petroleum products.
There is, in short, no mistaking the
fact that in the future oil will be king.

CAMELS ARE In BIG DEMAND
Great Numbers of Beast of the Desert
Used by the British In Defense
of Egypt.

Along the banks of the Suez canal
and thence along the old coast road to
the east you will find today between
the endless series Of British encamp-
ments caravans Of camels passing to
and fro with their burdens or lying
patiently at their hangers and chew
ing the cud with that tranquil ex.|1res-
sion of the beast which no stress OF
war can disturb, says the Manchester
Guardian.
There are more camels gathered
here than ever were assembled in the
bazaars of Cairo or Damascus. Though
the defense Of Egypt has been carried
forward from the canal itself to the
hills and dunes Of the Sinai desert
and to the Land of Promise beyond
the camel is still On integral part OF
the defensive scheme. Roads and rail-
ways, it is true, run out here and there
eastward from the bank, but there re-
mains a vast hinterland unreclatmed
from the desert, waste, in which our
troops continually move.

QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives of Many Soldiers.

Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Darling, G. B.,
famous English surgeon who Is con-
sulting surgeon to the great base hos
pitfalls at Rouen, which accommodate
$4,000 patients, says that since the war
began immense strides have been MADE
in the surgery of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as
having taken place since the outbreak
of hostilities, writes a correspondent OF
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid treatment of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-ha7e
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be eA-
pected, so that once a man is picked up
nv the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also is a special hospital,
perhaps of 80 beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally consid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which man so nit Is
placed in an ambulance and sent OIL
Immediately, if necessary, Wlthoul
waiting for other wounded to be placed
in with him, the dangerous delay Is
overcome, and the wound kept aseptlc
and more amenable to treatment.

GALWAY IS REAL IRISH TOWN
Here on Market Days Are Still to Be
Seen the Old Country Costumes
and Customs.

Galway is an Irish town with q
touch of real old Ireland about 1t
Here on market days you can still see
the old country costumes-the hard
black cutaway coats of the men ana
the red homespun skirts Of the women
who wear soft gray shawls over their
heads. All the country produce Is
brought to market, and the rule of "on-
" one price, marked in plain figures,
has never even been heard OF. Bar
gaining goes on at endless length, ana
the purchase of a score Of eggs may
take half an hour. Eggs are not solo
by the dozen In Galway.
All sorts Of curious things are FOR
sale in Galway market, brought from
many miles away in little donkey carts
or carried on foot by sturdy old men
who think nothing Of tramp Of doz-
en- miles. Calves are staple and
are wrapped up in gunny bags with
nothing but the head projecting when
shipment has to be made. Peat is
for sale by the CARLOAD, fowls and
vegetables. Most curious of all per-
haps is a peculiar seaweed, which Is
popular as q salad dish. To the visitor
its taste is rather unpleasant, but, ac-
cording to local tradition, it has the
marvellous property Of being able to
clear the head of him who has had "a
drop too much" Galway might work
up a profitable export trade in this
commodity, it has been suggested, II

ing,
