RUSSIANS At KHOPACHAS
DRIVING The TURKS Ahead

Tifis, Transcaucasia, March 8, via
Petrograd, 11.15 A. NJ, and London,
las P. M.-The Russian army of the
Caucasus, driving the Turkish forces
before it, has reached the river Kho-
pachas, the estuary of the Tchoruk in
Armenia. This advance by the Russians
cuts the route of Turkish reinforce
ments and supplies from Constantinople
to the Caucasian frontier through
Khopa, Turkish Armenia and isolates
the larger section of Turkish territory.
The isolated section includes the dis
tricts of Ardanuch, Ardahan, Oliti and
Sari Kamysh.
The Russian forces advanced from
Batum on the Black Sea near the Turk
ish border and were opposed by the
Turks at every step. They were assist
ed by Russian warships, which cleared
the shore of Turkish forces and cut off
successively several avenues of Turk
ish communication by sea until only the
Khopa route remained. After a battle
of three days the last route was closed
effectively.

LATE WAR news SUMMARY

A Russian victory of importance
in the war with Turkey is made known
in dispatch from Tifis, Trans-Cau-
casia. A Russian army advanced from
Batum, on the Black Sea, into Turkish
territory, cut off the Turkish army's
communications route to Constantinople
and isolated large districts of Turkish
territory. The Turkish troops opposed
the advancing army stubbornly but the
Russians, who had the assistance of
warships, are said to have driven them
back step by step.
Russia S campaign in the north has
developed no new features. Although
Petrograd states that the Russians are
everywhere on the offensive, this move
ment apparently is not being pressed
with vigor, except in a few districts.
To-day's report from the German war
office says that several attempts of the
Russians to advance were repelled.
Active operations in France are still
confined principally to the strip of the
front in the Champagne region. The

Washington, March 3.-The Sixty
third Congress swung into the last TWEEN

threats of failure of some measures.
To-day House and Senate conferees
are deadlocked over the rural credits

to abandon the disputed points or let

between the contending sides. No diff

bills which were not sure to be com
posed.
Much Work Remains to Be Done
So much work on the appropriation
bills remained to be done that admin

any of the Democratic legislative pro.

Explosion in West
Virginia Coal Fields
WORK OF RESCUE
is VERY TEDIOUS
Owing to Wrecked Condition of Mine
1t May Be Days Before Workings
Have Been Explored in Search For
Victims
BU Associated Press.

Hinton, w. Va, March 3.-Rescue
parties worked in relays throughout the
night in feverish effort to penetrate
the depths of the Layland mines of the
New River and Pocahontas CONSOLIDATE
ed Coal Company, seven miles from
Quinnimont, where 1872 miners were en-
tombed by an explosion yesterday. Ten
men have so far been taken out alive,
while nine bodies have been brought to
the surface but owing to the wrecked
condition of the mine, rescue work is
tedious and it may be days before the
workings have been explored.
James w. Paul, chief mining engin-
eer and his assistant, H. d. Mason, Jr.,
from the Pittsburgh station of the Blu.
reau of Mines, were expected to arrive
here to-day and take charge of the
rescue work.
State Officials Probing Disaster
Earl Henry, chief of the State De-
partment of Mines and Inspectors John
|. Absolom and L. B. Holiday, arrived
last night from Charleston and at once
began an investigation into the cause
of the explosion. An inquiry was also
being made by the county authorities
into the disaster but it was not believ-
ed that Coroner's jury would be i'm
panelled and begin hearing evidence
until all the missing had been account
ed for.
Despite the cold, crowds of anxious
relatives of the entombed men waited
Just outside of the roped off enclosure
at the mouth of the mine all night. AS
fast as the bodies were brought to the
surface, they were taken to the tenn
porary morgue which was erected a
few hours after the explosion and later
the relatives will be permitted to at.
tempt to identify them.
Three More Bodies Recovered
Trained miners, working under\Athe
direction of engineers of the Federal
Bureau of Mines, to-day penetrated the
entire length of the main entry in the
Layland mine. Three bodies were re-
covered, bringing the known dead to
13. Leaders of the rescue crews ex-
pressed the opinion that when the rooms
We're reached many more bodies would
be found.
Earl Henry, chief of the West vir-
ginia Mining Department, said the
workings We're filed with afterdamp
and he believed many lives had been
lost. The rescuers are erecting brat
tees as they advance, driving the aft
erdamp before them, but the chief said
he, thought two or three days might
pass before the mine was cleared.
Officers of the company refused to-
day to make an estimate of the number
of men who entered the workings yes
terday as records of men employed in
mines usually considered safe are not
often kept.
A carload of coflins arrived at the
mine this morning.

TREAT CATARRH BY NATURES METHOD
Every Breath of Hyomei Carries Heal ing Medicated Air to the In-
 fected Membrane.

Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish it is to try and cure it with sprays. lotions, and the like. Temporary relief may be given, but cure seldom comes.
 Until recently your physician would probably have said the only way to help catarrh would be to have 8 change of climate; but now with a simple preparation called Hyomei you can carry health-giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing il few minutes four times a day suc' cessfully treat yourself.
 The complete Hyomei outfit is in. expensive and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, medicine dropper and bottle o1 Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not give permanent relief, an extra bottle oi Hyomei can be obtained at any time for trif1ing sum. It is more eco nomical than all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only treatment known to us that follows nature in her method of treating dis. eases of the respiratory organs. Anders Jacobsen has sold great many Hyomei outfits and the more he sells, the more convinced he is that he is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to refund the money if Hyomei does not relieve.
