GEN. WRANCEL
FLEES CRIMEA
ON WARSHIP
Sebastopol Reported To
Have Fallen-Reds
Complete Masters

PARIS, Nov. 15.-Sebastopol has
fallen, the Russian Bolsheviki having
occuried the city last night, accord
ing to unofficial information receiv->
ed by the French foreign office.
The Bolsheviki are reported mas
ters of the whole Crimean peninsula.
General Wrangel and staff and M.
Martel. French high commissioner,
were taken on board a French war
ship and are expected to arrive at
Constantinople late tonight or to-
morrow.
The foreign Offices information
regarding Sebastopol came through
the usual unofficial diplomatic chan
nels. Official confirmation is not
expected by the foreign office until
M. Martel has reached Constanti-
nople. 1t was conceded, however,
that the whole of the Crimean 18TH
mus must be given up as lost by the
Wrangel forces.
The French, American and Brit
ish ships did not leave Sebastopol
until the Bolsheviki were within the
walls of the city. They were loaded
with refugees and remnants of Wran-
ger > troops.
French officials are to concede
that General Wrangel has ceased to
be factor in the Russian situation
and voice thehope that he might re-
organize the remnant of his army in
Constantinople.
Because of the Crimean develop
ments and the junction effected re-
Gently by the Turkish nationalists
and Bolsheviki and occupation Of
Batum. the position of the Soviet re-
gime in the Black Sea territory is
pointed to as stronger than it has
ever been.
Reports Indicated that a few mem
bers of General Wrangel's staff man
aged to escape The staff as
whole, it was said, virtually had been
wiped out, its members being either
killed or taken prisoner.
Propaganda behind General Wran-
gels lines had much to do with the
collapse on the front, according to
information reaching official circles
here. The Bolsheviki. it is declar-
ed, spread reports that General Wran-
gel was reactionary and that his sue
cess meant return of czardom and
an absolute monarchy.

HARDING GIVEN
WORST DETAILS
ABOUT MEXICO
Influence Brought On
Him On Trip Against
Recognition
BY HARRY B. HUNT.

POINT ISABEL. Tex, Nov. 15.-.
President-elect Harding's visit to the
Mexican border region is to prove a
factor of the greatest Importance in
determining the early Mexican policy
of his administration.
Two members of the Harding fish
ing party ar eaccepted by him "a
thoroughly acqainted with past and
present conditions in Mexico. At
least one of these, there is reason
to believe, has place din Harding's
hand the gist of a report made to
President Wilson by former spe-
cial agent in Mexico, which never
was made public.
Session With Fall.
Before Harding leaves Texas he
is due to receive a call from Sena-
tor Fall, of New Mexico, who will
present his views on the de la Huerta
government and on the incoming
RECON government.
All the influence being brought
to bear on Harding is against any
recognition by him of the Obregon
government. A great mass of in
formation, hostile to the Obregon
government and the men who are
expected to compose his cabinet, has
been impaired to the president-elect.
The presence in the Harding party
here of Will S. West is especially
significant. West is a brother of
Federal Judge Duvall West of San
Antonio, who was a special agent
for Wilson in Mexico during the HUI
erta administration. West was ap-
preciated on his finding there. Hard
ing told me significantly, "but it was
never made public"
West Swings Over.
Will West, Harding explained,
used to be Democrat, but has come
over to the Republicans. The infer
ence was carried that the Mexican
issue was largely responsible for
VISITS change in political faith and
that his knowledge of Mexican af-
fairs was what qualified him for
membership in the Point Isabel fish
ing party. Also it is interesting
that "Big Bill' Hausen, senior ran
ger captain of Texas, dropped into
Brownsville on the heels of Harding.
big Bill'' was special agent for
the Fall committee which investigat-
ed Mexico last year. He will remain
here, it is understood, until after
Falls visit. Incidentally it was SEN
ator Harding himself who promptly
squelched the proposal that meet
! ing between himself and Obregon
tate over that question second.
be arranged. Harding did not hesi-
Briefly the case against Obregon,
as it is understood to have been plac-
ed before Harding, is that the presi-
dent-elect of Mexico is far too lib
eral; that he verges on Bolshevism
in his political beliefs and that to
recognize a Bolshevistic neighbor
government would be to invite the
spread in the United States of radi-
cal agitation, I. W. W'ism and SIM
liar un-American creeds.
Indeed, it is suggested that a full
Soviet system has already been map
ped out by Obregon.

CLAIMS VICTORY
OVEREX-KINC
Greek Premier Says He
Has Won In Bitter
Campaign

LONDON, Nov. 15-An Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Athens un-
der today's date says the results of
yesterdays election in Greece so far
as known, point to defeat for Veni-
zelos and all the members of the
cabinet but one.
ATHENS, Nov. I5-Victory in the
Greek elections held yesterday was
claimed early today by Premier
Venizelos. Actual returns. however,
still were meager.
Throughout the campaign, which
was conducted with unparalleled bit
terness, the premier was the storm
center and his assertion that his fol-
lowers were successful, if confirmed
by the actual count OF votes means
for him a personal as well as poll
teal triumph.
The issue of the campaign was the
return of Former King Constantine
to. his throne, from which he was de-
posed during the war. This was op-
posed by Venizelos.

WHEELING EDITOR
ON HOG QUESTION
Lively Editorial JoIlies Us
About Our "ProbIem"

In recent issue OF the Wheeling
Intelligencer the hog question in
Martinsburg is discussed edit9rially
in whimsical and humorous as
well as serious fashion. The In
telligencer looks at the status Of
the hog in this city from all angles
and under the caption, Martins
burg Tackles Real Problem" the
editor Of that newspaper goes on to
say:
The city council of Martinsburg.
w. Va, has directed that the ques-
ton OF the elimination of the rails.
ing of hogs within the CITY limits
be referred to the electorate at the
election in May as a separate issue.
and that the people be asked TO
vote for or against the hog.
Concerning this grave problem,
affecting the welfare and the hap
piness of many people, the Intel
ligencer hesitates To express an
opinion. not that the Intellisencer's
opinion has been asked. or that it
thinks its opinion would be very
seriously regarded by the city of
Martinsburg if proffered. The fact,
however, that this election is to be
held ought not to be lost sight OF by
the intelligent voters of this state.
1t deals with a problem of more tn n
common moment.
On one side is to be urged the

when citizens with large and pro,
gressive ideals begin to question
the desirability of the hog as
permanent resident. and in most of
them the decision has been finally
anti-hog. The result of the contest
in Martinsburg will be watched
with interest. We can readily
imagine that there will be more
heat to the controversy and more
bitterness in the conflict. than
might be aroused over the protect
i've tariff. the League OF Nations,
or even the cause of prohibition.
Is the right to take a drink any
more sacred than the right to keep
a hog?
Why should we concern ourselves
with the broils of Europe when the
peaceful existence of our private
and personal hog IS threatened?
Why worry about coal strikes and
injunctions when the porker we
have cherished in his youth and
whose growth We have watched
with tender care may be ruthlessly
torn from us.
/ Martinsburg will answer these
grave questions in May, and with
