Removes Menace Presented
 By Turkish Invasion

Petrograd, Via London, Jan. 6, 3:O9 T., m.--The reported Russian victory at Sari Kamysh, in the Russian Cau- casus, and the recapture of Ardahan, an important junction point of the mountain roads from the Turkish frontier to Kars and Tif1is, apparently removes whatever menace to these cities was presented by the Turkish invasion. According to the opinion or military men here, the attack on Sari kamysh was secondary in inn portance to the wide developing move ment of the Turks, which was de- signed to cut off the Russians near Inc border and place Turkish forces between them and the Caucasian cap- ltal.
 By December 27 the Turks had es- abolished themselves in the village of Upper Sari Kamysh, but on the 3Oth

GOOD CONDITIONS
 I NOTED IN GERMANY
American Trade Paper, Published q in Berlin, Is Optimistic.

To keep American merchants and manufacturers in close touch with the general conditions in Germany during the European war the American As @sociation of Commerce and Trade, located in the Equitable building in Berlin, sends out weekly reports to their members in the United States The last report that has Aeen received hero by President r. H. Johnson of tho Connecticut Chamber of Com merce states that there is a substan- tial rise of gold reserves on hand in the German empire and the table shows an increase from August 31 to November '. It is said that this gold increase Is significant of Germany's economical strength, and corresponds with the general favorable situation.
 < General Conditions in Germany.
 Touching briefly on the industrial Situation the report says that the need of supplying the German army with equipment for the winter campaign has brought many large orders to ai- most every branch of industry, al- though 1t is true that many skilled hands are at the front Business with neutral countries has frightened up, says the report. and in Germany 'n- custry has adjusted itself to condi- .tions in remarkable way and has peen stimulated by success of Ger man fleet and army. Furthermore -1nany firms of iron and metal indus try have gone to making war mater ials, such as projectiles. Other firms are making wholesale camp kitchens and In the textile industry firms that formerly made only silks have begun . to make cotton goods for military zNurposcs.
 An unusual high value is placed by the Germans on the raw material and stores captured at the fall of Antwerp. AS an example it Is pointed out that among other stores captured is more coffee than the entire German nation imported in year. The French iron mines and mills captured at Longwy and Bruges are now being managed tIy the German government, a signif1- cant fact since this district furnishes about eighty-f1ve per cent of the en- tire French iron ore production.
 There is no alarming decrease in Berlin's food supply but it is a fact, continues the report, that peas, beans, 1entil and eggs are scarce. Meat is in evidence although the price is ex- ICCIcu lO Soetl' presently. lIo supply Qf fish is also good as is the domestic fftit crop.
 Trade Conditions After War.
 Included in this same paper is an article on "The American Exporter After the War" written by Frederick w. King, a member of this trade as- sociation. He says at the outset that the present state of affairs in Europe Will have such a far-reaching effect on methods of distribution of Ameri- can products in Europe that dras- tic change may be expected after the war. In the future the American manufacturer will be forced to take 9. personal interest in the foreign con- semer and not be content to do busi- ness through an export agency Ad- Nrtising will play an important part and in short, a general revolution of the manner of conducting foreign trade must come about, writes MT. King.

ATTACKS MEXICAN POLICY.
Senator Lodgc Scores Wilson's Atti-

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator Lodge attacked President Wilson's Mexican policy in the senate today during review of the urgent deficiency bill.
 The error of the administration course, he said, had begun with the refusal to recognize Gen. Huerta, on moral grounds rather than on the broader international grounds on which it could have been based. The spectacle of the United States at war with Victoriano Huerta," Senator Lodge said, was not a pleasing one for Americans to contemplate.
