Krivochin, premier In .the government of General Wrangel, talking to the American news- paper correspohdents today, made an ap- peal for American aid for the refugees from southern Russia. “First,” said M. Krivochin, “permit me to express heartfelt gratitude to the American people and the. American Red Cross for their charitable work on behalf of the wounded and sick Russian refu- gees. The military disaster does mot mean that there is no further necessity to render assistance. Aid mow is more than ever a matter of life and death to the tens of thousands of unfortunate and ntterly destitute refusees from the fnost | cruel tyranny the world ever has known. _- “General Wrangel's army has been. bled white. Although inferior in numbers, it held position after position against the overwhelming weight of the Reds. The situation: became extremely crit- jcal -when .General Wrangel was isolated, especially after the Polish armistice, when he"supported the ‘brunt of the Red on- slaughts. We expected Perekop to hold out~but the premature frost proved a powerful ally to our enemy. Wrangel's positions .yere defended by frostbitten, wounded and -exhausted soldiers, the dead were piled “in heaps, the cruel artillery snatching nearly all the commanders. Despite their high morale, there is a limit to hurcan force which has now been reached. g “Crimea, the last strip of Russia where the principles of truth, liberty and free- dom prevailed, is being evacuated. The wounded, tho children, the women and the sick will be evacuated first, because, If left behind, their fate at the hands of the bolsheviki would be frightful. Al though saved from the ‘Red’ barbarities, they are bound for an unknown destina- tion, where they will be without the means of support, in a stranse cointr “We do not know where they Can find refuge; we can only beg,heln. General Wrangel in his last order pointed out the real situation to all who desired to em- bark on the shipe - He not only did not advise .them to go but warned them of the danger of going to an unknown desti- nation. The good yople of the civilizerd world will not permit the destruction of peoples who are not responsible for the events, except through their repudiation of dtrocious barbarism. Our hopes will not be in vain that the powerful Ameri- can people are in a position to help and know how. “IL_am aware that America and the newiy-elected president are opposed to in- tergention in European politics. I am sur?, however, of their readiness to con- tribute to - philanthropic works not con- nected with pelitics. Wherever there is misery and calamity it is impossible not to' meet the flag of (he American Red Cross. . ‘We appeal to the nobla American peo- Rle to stretch out a helping hand to the ‘numberless unfortunates who lost every- thing and are embarking now on the cold high_seas, going God knows, where. Our only hepe is fn the American peovle, Who surely will Dot be deaf to this piteous appeal and will earn the undying grati- tude of the Russian people. ‘WOULD ADJUST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR ‘Washington, Nov. 15.—The executive council of the American Federation of Lubor -cuntinued lere today its discus- sion, understood to be largely devoted to seeking methods by which differences be- tween labor and capital may be adjusted peacefully. There was no indication of what progress was being made, however, excepty that it was stated officially the meeting would probably continue several | days. Al sessions are executive and no statement of the matters under considera- tion has been given out. Suggestions that the federation planned to select some widely known man to act as its int p ediary with capital in future labor coni.oversies were characterized by officials as “absurd.” Those who would discuss the suggestions, which named | Herbert Hoover, former federal food ad- ministrator, as the man likely to be se- lected, declzred the report baseless. “Neither Mr. Hoover, nor any other | man outside of the president of the United States” was in a position to ren- der beneficial services in such capacity, one official of the federation asserted. It | was recalled, however, that it was stated | at federation headquarters last week that | Mr. Hoover was expected to confer with the executive council during its session regarding steps to increase production | and improve working conditions in vari- ous industries through co-operation fo labor officials and scientists. There were reports at federation head- quarters tonight that the executive coun- cil hrad under consideration legislation af- fecting the adjustment of disputes which it would urge labor's friends in congress in congress to push. Members of the cil refused comment, however, and there was no surface indication that any definite steps had been taken in that di- rection. _ FIVE RED ARMIES IN ATTACK AGAINST WRANGEL Constantinople, Nov. 15.—The five Red armies concentrating against him, Gen- eral ‘Wrangel informed the mnewspaper correspondents at Sebastopol, numbered more than 100,000, as proved by captured papers. Twenty thousand of these were cavalry, divided into three groups. The . cavalry under Gereral Budenny, who left the ‘anti-bolsheviki forces and joined the bolsKeviki, suffered heavily, according to General Wrangel, particularly in officers. General Wrangel ‘concluded: “During tHe five months’ struggle in the northern Tauride the five Red armies were occu- pied with our troops, so that we plaved our part in the Polish victory. The western world, which is menaced no less than we are by the bolsheviki, ought to take into consideration the role our army played in the bolshevik defeat before Warsaw.” ALL LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS ARE VOID Hartford, Conn., Nov. 15.—The county commissioners of the state, today voted unanimously. to declare void all liquor licene applications they have on file. This action is designed to, relieve state prosecutors of any embarrassment in! bringing cases for violation of the liquor| laws against former saloon keepers who| applied for - renewal of .licenses in thg past-year and never had been officially refused. Under a Connecticut statute a liquor dealer is protected from prosecu- tion as long as his application for a re- néwal of license is pending.

The first session of the league assem-| bly was greeted with the ringing of all the bills in Geneva after several minutes' silence on the part of all the people of the canton. President Motta of Switz- erland was followed by M. Hymans, The socialist leader Hjalmar Branting, head of the Swedish delegation, provoked the first debate by objecting to the elec- tion of Paul Hymans as president of the league by acclamation. M. Hymans him- self decided th: question by holding that since one member requested a secret vote he was entitled 1o it. A more animated and more significant discussion grew out of the adoption of the agenda. Lord Robert Cecil, who rep- resents South Africa, held that the ap- pliactions of Albania, Bulgaria and Aus- tria, which wWere received since the agenda was made up, shouid be added t. The assembly so decided after the French delegates, Mm. Viviani and Bour- geois, had made it clear that the applica- tions would be referred to a committee to be examined and a decision taken as to whether they would be received. This reservation, it is conceded, will e tablish a precedent so that if Germany's application is received further,” the French delegates will be able at once to raise the question of eligibility. The working organization of the as- sembly as formed this afternoon consists of six committees, each with 41 members representing all the states attending. All questions on the agenda Will be dividéd among these_commjtt up for debaté orf the f50r only when the committee’s report has been submitted. The presidents of these committees will be ex-officio vice presidents of the as- sembly. The debates today clekrly _indicated that Lord Robertr Cecil, Leon Bourgeois Rene Viviani and Signor Tittoni are like- Iy to become leading figures an the floor and that the small states are showing a spirit of independence and will not ac- cept pre-arranged programmes without having their say.

NEW YO POLICE ARE INSPECTING AUTOMOBILES New York, Nov. 15.—New York city's 14,000 policemen became automobile ex- perts all of a sudden today. Acting on orders received Saturday from Commissioner Enright, Who has planned a three weeks campaign to re- duce the number of auto accidents, the police hailed thousands of automobiles and examined them for mechanical de- fects. If there was anything wrong enough to increase the possibility of ac- cidents, the chauffeurs were directed to garage and repair shops.
