<5 PARIS, N'ov., 15— General Wran
gell’s army has been thoroughly beat
en by the Bolshevik forces. It is con
tinuing its retreat southward pursued
by a well commanded Soviet army con
sisting of more than twenty seven di
visions. According to advices receiver!
by the French Foreign office, General
Wrangell has suffered gi-eat losses
and many of his best officers have
been killed. The evacuation of Sebas
topol by civilians and foreigners is
well under way but members of Wran
gell’s government were still in the
town last night. The Ilolslevik troops
did not storm the lines of the Pei-ekop
defenses, but by an enveloping move
ment of their left wing invaded the
Crimea Peninsula, crossing the ice
' frozen sea and attacking Wrangell’s
troops from the rear.

^troops are reported fleeing in utter
confusion.
Constantinople. Xov., 15— The
United States Destroyer Fox arrived

behind General Wrangell’s lines. Hope |
was expressed that all Red Cross
workers would be safely removed
from the danger zone.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov.% 15—
Thirteen thousand refugees arrived
here last night but because of the lack
of accomodations they are still aboard
the ships. It is understood that thirty
thousand will be permitted to leave
. Sebastopol but it will be impossible to
i
transport the entire population.
Paris, Nov., 15— Sebastopol has
fallen. The Bolsheviki troops occupied
the town last night. The whole Crim
ean peninsula is now in the hands of
the Soviet army. General Wrangell
and staff are safely aboard a French
warship and are expected to arrive in

Although five new cases of small
pox developed at Unalaska last
week, advices from there say the
situation is well in hand and no
serious epidemic is anticipated.
Responding to a telegraphic re
quest from Gov. Riggs, the U. S. S.
Saturn, en route to Pribilof Islands,
turned aside and went to Unalaska.
The Saturn had ninety-five tubes of
vaccine, which aided considerably in
combatting the disease.
Advices from Supt Lopp at Seattle
say the Algonquin left there several
days ago with vaccine and other sup
plies for the sufferers, including fuel
and food. The Unalga is now at
Unalaska giving every possible as
sistance.
Late advices indicate the epaemic
is in a mild form and that a severe (
L epidemic is not likely. At the latest
report there were 24 cases at Un
alaska and 10 at Akutan.
Dr. Newland, who is conducting
the fight against the disease, is
connected with the Jessie Lee ■
school, established by the Methodist
church, and has been appointed by
both the surgeon general, public
health service, and the territorial
health authorities to handle the
situation.— Cordova Times.

TOKIO, Nov., 15— Marquis Okuma,
ax preimier of Japan today in a speech
attacked the plan of the California
people to exclude Japanese from Am
erica by treaty. He pointed out that
hitherto immigration had been re
stricted by voluntary agreement be
tween the United States and Japan
because the restriction was prejudic
ial to Japans prestige. The effort on
the part of the people of California
to make this restriction statutory was
an act of infidelity to Japanese and
American friendship. If Japans appeal
fails, only force remained. Japan
desires a solution of this problem at
an early date, fearing otherwise that
the question will lead to an outburst
of self sacrificing patriotism for which
the Japanese are noted.

THE UNITED STATES NOW
Nt i CHIEF SOURCE OF
WORLD’S ZINC SUPPLY.
At present the world’s chief source
of zinc is the United States, which
gained supremacy in the zinc industry
when the war eliminated Germany
and Belgium from this field, it is de
clared by the National Bank of Com
merce in New York, in the November
number of its magazine, Commerce
Monthly.
The United States had little export
port trade in this metal until the war
forced foreign consumers to turn to
American markets, the bank points
out, but its trade is how in excess of
that of any other nation and probably
will remain so because of the continu
ing incapacity of the former produc
ing countries to supply the market.'
Die United States exported 109,232
tons of zinc in the first eight months
of this year, according to the bahk, or
nearly ten times the normal annual
amount exported before the war.
“Belgium and Germany used to
supply most of the international de
mand/’ says Commerce Monthly, “but
Jiese countries are not now able to
produce zinc to compete with the Am
erican pYoduct In 1913 Belgium ex
ported 194,513 short1 tons of spelter,
or over nine times as much as did the
United States. Although many of the
sine plants escaped destruction during
the occupation of Belgium, • others
were completely dismantled. There
has been a loss, moreover, through
the disorganization of the skilled lab
oring force as a consequence of the
war. At. the same time there is a ser
ious shortage of fuel and of zinc ore.
“Unlike the Belgians the Germans
smelted principally from domestic ore.
Present fuel and labor conditions,
however, are not fftvotable for exten
sive zinc production in Germany. Al
though the ore is found in nearly ev
ery country in the world, the deposits
in the United States and Germany
alone of the chief sbtelting countries
are sufficient 1oar domestic ' require*
(dents. Australia,.. the third largest*
producer^ of sine ore and concentrates,
has but a small smelter Capacity and
consequently has been Europe's chief
source for foreign ore,99
