Fort, Pa. was discovered by the Boy
Scouts OF America. who Immediately
rounded up their membership and hur-

Daily Thought.

There is a time in every mans
education when he arrives at the con-
viction that envy is ignorance; that
imitation is suicide; that he must
take himself for better or worse, as
his portion; that though the wide uni
verse is full of good, no kernel of
nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toll bestowed on that plot
of ground which is given him to till.
Trust myself; every heart vibrates
to that iron string-R. w. Emerson.

Rear Guard, in Flight Toward Err

rison Is Reported to Rave Abandon
ed AdrianopIe, Important Mos!em
City.
PETROGRAD, Via LondonJ
Correspondents with the Russian army
in the Caucasus send to their news
papers stories of the terrible plight
OF the retreating Turks after the de-
the Kara-Urgan region.
1t appears from these stories that
large numbers of prisoners were taken
through the capture of the victuallng
transport, which left the regiments
concerned no alternative but starVa-
ton Or surrender.
Thousands Frozen to Death.
Amid the snowstorms which obliter-
ated every feature of the roads, the
Russians are reported to have pressed
unrelentingly upon their beaten foes.
In one stretch of woods the Russians
found the bodies OF 5000 Turks who
had frozen to death. In their hands
they still grasped their rifles.
The correspondents say the cond1-
ton of the prisoners taken reveals
Decentralization in the Turkish forces.
The soldiers were hungry and their
clothing tattered. Many were without
uniforms, but all appeared to be
equipped with modern weapons.
Large number were Arabs and al
though they were better clothed than
the Turks they suffered terribly in the
intense cold and snow.
Defeat Is a Great Rout.
The rear guards which attempted to
cover the Turkish retreat on Erzerum,
according to the correspondents, have
been virtually destroyed.
The few disorganized remnants Of
the army are said to be fleeing in the
direction of ErZerum, flinging their
artillery and stores over precipices or

explanation OF the sinking on March 2S
