AMERICANS HAVE A
NARROW { 8 GA P {
FROM MINING TOWN
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The gauntlet ot
of dangers through which small
hand of Americans and Englishmen
rassad in their escape from copper
mining camp in the Caucasus noun
tsins at the time of the outbreak OF
war between Turkey and Russia is told
nv A. H. Trotter of Syracuse, N. Y,
chief engineer of the company, who
has finally reached London. Their ad-
ventures form one of the most exciting
of the minor episodes of the war.
The mining village where the party
was caught is called Dzansoul, and
lies high up in the mountains about 40
miles from the Russian port OF Batoum
On the Black Sea. The defense of these
mountain villages was left to only d
few companies OF Russian police arm
ed with old black-powder. rifles. The
report that the Turks were advancing
in force from the south, and had drlT-
on in some of the Russian outposts,
reached the village in November, and
this was the first news that hostilities
had begun. The people in the smelter
camp were slow to realize the danger
that surround them, and took no steps
to escape until the American manager
of the company R. T. White, was shot
ore Sunday while on his way from the
camp to the mines, some miles higher
I'D in the mountains.
White was riding up the trail when
shot suddenly poured upon nim from a
ridge across a ravine. Both he and his
horse we're struck, and he fell from
the animal, wounded in the leg. From
moon until evening he lay in the shelter
of the rock, sniped at every time ne
showed his head. At dusk, party, OF
which Trotter was member, sneaked
nm the trail to effect his rescue. They
broueht him down to camp, and then
sent him to Batoum.
The following evening some Russian
Americus times-recorder., 1915-02-27

Red Cross flag. The artillerymen sery-
ing the guns at the camp were cut OF
to two men, and the infantry toward
night became helpless. The Turks
we're advancing in the dark, lighting
their way with burning sheds. Two OF
the party, an American and Scots
man, started out to cross the noun
tains to the Russian town of ArtVin,
while the others, under cover of dark
ness took a chance on reaching Bor-
chka and got through safely The Am
erican, Morris Caldwell, and the Scott,
got lost in the mountains and were for
three days without food, before they
finally arrived at river which they
had to swim. In midstream they were
greeted by rife fire. The Scot was
killed and his body drifted down the
stream, but Caldwell escaped to a
Turkish village. He was so worn out,
that he even dropped off to sleep while
seeing Turk in the same room whet a
butcher knife and talk about Holy
War.
By good fortune an old Turk form
erly employed at the mine recognized
Caldwell as an American and set him
free. He returned to the mine, board
ed up the camp, and then worked his
way to Trebizonde. Here he was ar
rested as a spy and served eighteen
days in Turkish prison. He obtained
release only by the mere chance of
signalling passing American, who
happened to be the United States Con-
sui. From Trebizonde he took Greek
steamer for Constantinople, which
made the trip in sixteen days instead
of the usual three.
