President-elect Harding came into
Brownsville by automobile Monday
reaching here safely at 3 o'clock after
a gruelling ride over the 20 miles of
prairie that lies between here and Point
Isabel. . It took one hour and forty-five
minute to make the trip.
President-elect Harding left Point Is
abel for Brownsville by automobile Mon
day to get away from the storm that has
wrecked his vacation at the seaside re
sort. The rain brought in by the cold
gulf norther of the past few days has
rendered motor traffic difficult and al
most precarious but the president-elect
chose that meats of travel in preference
to another try at the narrow gauge rail
way on which be spent four hours yester
day without getting more than two miles
outside of Point Isabel.
A train of automobiles to take Mr.
Harding and bis guests left here early in
the day and arrived at Point Isabel

after on the return trip which was made
by a roundabout route to avoid the worst
spots in the direct road across the mini

BOLSHEVISTS HAVE
OCCUPIED cm

Crimean Forces of General
Wrangel Crumple
Before Foe
Associated Press Report
PARIS. Nov. l.V-Sebastopol has
fallen the Russian bolshevik! having oc
suined the city Sunday night according
to unofficial information received by the
r ri ncli foreign office
The bolsheviki are reported to be mas
tcrs of the whole Crimean peninsula.
Geeural Wrangel members of bis staff
and M. Martel Frenctrhigh commissioner
at Sebastopol. were taken on board the
t rench warship A aldeck Rousseau and
are expected to arrive in Constantinople
.Monday night or tomorrow.
The foreign office's information re
garding Sebastopol calne through the
usual unoff.cal diplomatic channels. It
was conceded that the whole ot the
Crimea must be given up as lost by tbe
Wrangel forces.
Relief Ship Leavt Pert.
The Waldeek-Rousseau and the gther
French and the American and British
ships at Sebastopol did not leave that
imrt until the bolsheviki were within the
valhTf 'the 1tyT6ee" ships accord-"
ing to the foreign office advices we
loaded lo capacity with refugees and the
remnants of General Wrsngel's troops.
Many refugees however were left be-
hind. UDd these it was said probably
numbered llHMHK).
Fate of Refugees Clexia.
The fate of these refugees ia causing
great anxiety as the American relief or-
ganization also Iibb left the Crimea. The
majority of the refugees have been de-
pendent upon the American relief work-
ers for their sustenance and the hope
was expressed that means might be de-
vised by whieh that. organization would
continue its work.
French officials were loath to con-
cede that General Wrangel would cease
to be a factor in the Russian situat'on
and they vnii-ed the hope that he might
reorganize the remnants or his army in
Constantinople They did not appear at
all optimistic however over the outlook
and it seemed to be their eal belief that
General Wrsngel bad failed as did Gen-
erals Dcuikiiic. Ytidcnitch and Admiral
Kolchak. Because of the Crimean de-
velopments and the junction effected re-
cently by tli' Turkish nationalists and
bolsheviki and the occupation of ltatnm
the position of the soviet regime in the
Rlack sea territory was pointed to as
stronger than it ever had beeu.
Few Manage to Escape.
The reports indicated that only a few
of ticncral Wrangel's staff had managed
to escape. The taff as a whole it was
haul bad lieeu virtually wiped out its
members either being killed or taken
prisoner.
Propaganda behind General Wrsngel's
lilies had much to do with the collapse on
the front according to information reach-
ing official circles here. The bolsheviki.
it is declared spread reports that Gen-
gial Wrangel was a reactionary and that
his success would mean the return of the
czKrdoin ami absolute monarchy and dis-
tricted pamphlets and booklets to rein-
force these statements.
On the other band it is reported that
the extremely conservative party of Rus-
sians considered General Wrangel too
liberal and advanced in his views and in-
formation reaching i he foreign office al-
leges that this elem-nt plotted his down-
fall. Washington Authorizes

FIUME Nov 15. The hostility of
Gabriele d'Annumio insurgent Italian
commander at Fiume to the settlement
of the Adriatic question reached between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia at Rapallo was an-
nounced Monday at a session of the rec
tors of the Fiume regency summoned by
the commander. The reasons why the
settlement was objectionable were set
forth at length in a communique which
read:
Questions Right.
"Tbe government of the Italian re
gency of Quarnero is unable to recognise
the right of tbe delegates who met at Ra
pallo to determine the confines of the
regency without the admission of dele
gates from that regency. The regency
therefore decides that the findings of the
Rapallo conference are unacceptable and
illegal. This government holds
"1. The regency was inaugurated so
as to make the annexation of Fiume to
Italy a certainty.
"2. Tbe people of Fiume in their
charter of liberty confirmed their vote
of October lliis which declared their
complete dedication to tbe mother conn
try.
"3. Today Fiume again confirms that
vote and purposes to continue to fight
until the fulfillment of its legitimate vote.
4. Meanwhile the confines of Italy
can only be fixed as extend. ug along the
Julian Alps to Nevasn and Ritoria and
to tne sea at tne promontory ot tsan
Marco which was always kept as the
enetian confines of the regency.
"5. The confines should be determined
by the historic Napoleonic line.
Boundaries Discussed.
". The confines of Fiume can only
be drawn by extending the line hevond
Kuxak and Tersatto from which Fiume
derives her water and light and which
can not remain in the hands of the .lugo
Slavs.

fatherland and the regency from Nevaso

mouth of the harbor. No word is yet
available as to the destination of D'An-
nunzio's fleet which left port Friday
but it is thought it was sent south to
join Admiral Milln.
D'AnnunzIo Dolivors Speech.
Ii'Anuunzio entered Susak Sunday at
the head of a body of troops. There was
no resistance to his advance. The bar-
riers were taken .down and the whole
avalanche ot legionaries swept over the
bridge dividing Finnic from what is now
Jugo-Slavia. but is still occupied by the
Italians lie went to purticpate ui the
celebration for the return of the colors
f the Lombard; bridge from Rome. He
was received by (ienernl Faecini and
then flelivei-ed a speech stirring up the
regular Italian troops of occupation who
cheered his speech and swo.e obedience
to him. General Knccini shook hands
with l'.unuti7.io in the preseniv of the
soldiers and hailed the poet as "my gren-
adier of Lombardi. the redeemer of
Fiume. present and future."
Occupation by forces belonging to the
F inula n regency government under Ga-
briele d'Aiinunzio of one of the zmies un-

gotiations between Italy and Jugo-Slavia

Monday by the Il'Aiuiunzio staff. The
regular Italian troops were withdrawn
from this zone it is stated and the posi-
tions occup'ed by the regency forces are
being fortified."-

Ital ians Pleased With
Jugo-Slavia Treaty
Associated Press Report.
ROMK. Nov. 15. Italian newspapers
with the exception of nationalist organs
declare that nearly all the people of
Italy have greeted the agreement between
this country and Jugo-Slavia relative to
tbe Adriatic with relief. Although it is
painful to Italians to renoance Italian
Daloiatia. the peace concluded is viewed
as not being humiliating but dignified and
victorious.
The attititde of Gabriele d'Aununzio is
strongly criticised and regret is ex-
pressed even by some of his friends and
admirers that he was unable to accept
the settlement as satisfactory atKrding
to Kl Messaggero.
In the meantime many young men are
leaving different parts of Italy f ir Fiume.
This appears to confirm reports from
various sources that D'Anniniiio is pre-
paring several expeditious. On the other
hand it is known that Admiral Millo.
head of the D'Annnnzian naval serviv.
is satisfied with the Rapallo agreement
and is not disposed to join in new ad-
ventures. The treaty leaves 30.000 Italians under
Serbian rule the Messaggero savs. but
points out that 500.000 Serbian nationals
are left under Italian jurisdiction.
