NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY o. 1916
RUSSIAN HORDE TO
 SWEEP TURKS ASIDE
Coming of Mild Weather Makes
 Their Advance Possible

Petrograd, May 9-With the melt ing snows no longer delaying the de- scent of the Russian Caucasus armies from the high Armenian pleateau into the valley of Asia Minor, where the Turks, having gathered all available reinforcem ents, are ready at last to make a determined stand, the cam- paign in Asia Minor has reached a most interesting and possibly a de- cisive stage.
 < The descent of the Russians west ward toward Erzingan has thus far proved the most difficult of all the Russian lines of advance. There, until the last few days, the winter snows still held, and this, added to other hazards accompanying the de- scent from a table land averaging a mile above sea level has made satis- factory progress impossible. To the southwest into Mesopotamia, however because the season is further ad- vanced there, the descent has been easier and the Turks south of Bitlis are being driven from a series of for tifed positions, hotly pursued by Cos sacks.
 Thus both the Turkish f1anks-that IS, Ille Oue dlOIlS lIlG bldCh oSct e1AIei that south of Bitlis-have been bent back by the severity of the Russian assaults, while the Ottoman center be- fore Erzingan remains slightly ad vanced for the reasons just stated. If the Russians succeed in their present effort directed against this extended Turkish center, Erzingan and Baiburt will soon fall into Russian hands and the way will be open to Sivas.
 However, despite the series of Turkish defeats, the main Turkish army is still virtually intact, since it wisely chose, in most cases, to re- tire, without fighting, rather than
 According to recent news from the Russian expedition aiming at Bagdad, the Russians, after being held for some time, have again scored a suc- cess against the Turks defending the mountain paths between Karind and Hanikan, and having occupied Serin- al-Kerind, are drawing nearer the Mesopotamian frontier. The attain ment of Hanikin, say military author ities here, would give the Russians access to the rear of the Turkish Bagdad army, the expected plan be- ing for Russia to strike north of Bag dad in an effort to cut the railway and munication over which the Turkish army in the Bagdad region is being supplied. ..".

WIDE MEASURES TO
 AID BRITISH TRADE
Merchant Associations Demand
 Help for PoSt-Bellum Period

Washington, May 9.-British trade
 measures as an aid to extension of
 British foreign commerce after the
 war summary that came to 'he
 department of commerce today from
 Commercial attache Baldwin at Lon
 don shows that one of the main things
 trade interests ask is moratorium after the declaration of peace that
 British firms may collect debts due by enemy firms before paying their own
 bills in enemy countries.
 Legislation is asked to provide that after the war consular certificates of origin be required with goods inn ported to prevent importation of enemy goods through neutral or al lied countries Another measure asked would prevent shipment of raw
 materials from the crown colonies to enemy countries. Self-governing
 colonies are asked to take the same steps.
 Introduction of decimal coina ge and use of the metric systems in dealing with countries using that syS- tems are asked. Other meas asures in clude legislation to prevent imposi- ton of a double income tax; to re- uuire registration of all firms; to ex- tend trade relations between Great schools in the universities and to

COLUMBIA HAS NINE
 UNKISSED SENIORS
It's a Fact, Because They Say So
 Themselves

New York May 9-Columbia's sen- for class has nine young men who have reached the voting age without being kissed. And most prominent in the list is Francis M. Simonds, Jr. captain of the varsity football team last fall and acknowledged the hand somest man in the class.
 Wallace D. Taylor, business mana ger of the Columbia Spectator, is an- other of the famous nine. Taylor has been too busy even to look at girl ever since his grammar school days.
 Another Spectator editor in this se- lect nine is Allan Bruce Conlin. He has no explanations to make. He just hasn't been kissed. But that Is not the case with Arthur S. Crane. He is manager of the glee club and so mo- dest that he would walk ten blocks to keep from meeting a girl.
 Francis S. App1eby, famous as a billiard player, has never felt the touch of maidenly lips. R. M. Me- Cracken, a wrestler; F. M. Black, a debater, and N. Bacci, just a plain ordinary, everyday hard working stu dent, are in with the already famous nine, while the list ends with the name of S. Tsu-Yung Seng, a young Chinaman who had never heard of kissing until he was asked whether he had ever been kissed or not.
 None of the follies of the individual members of the class will be made known until class day, month hence when an eager world will learn of the religion and other interesting details in the lives of the hundred and fifty young men who will get their sheep skins from Columbia at that time.

Grandmother's Medicines.

Our grandmothers were wise in the virtues of the herbs of the field. They used to gather and store roots and herbs and use them to cure the ail- ments of their families-WormWood thoroughwort, sage, rue, camom1le- the list might go on and on or the healing plants with which they made made us familiar.
 Now their granddaughter get the extracts from just such good old roots and herbs, from the nearest druggist ready prepared for use. One such medicine which women find best for their own ailments, is the well-known Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com DOund-adVt.

Nevada Mines Prosperous.

For the month of May the receipts
of the Industrial Commission are
greater than for any month in the
history of the commission, being S26,-
$50. 40. The sum of 65 per cent more
than for the corresponding month
last year. The great increase in the
proceeds of industry in Nevada is ow-
ing to the great activity in the min
ing industry caused by the high
price of metals on account of the de-
mand created by the war, Never since
the great days of the Comstock has
there been such demand for silver
as there is at present, and the baser
metals are at flood tide. Copper,
lead, antimony, zinc, tungsten, in
fact, everything that is dug out of
the ground, is useful in the war, and
Nevada is supplying II greater vari-
ETY. than any other spot on the globe.

Prospects Bright For
Road West of Lake

The project to build a road on the
west side Of Walker Lake is rapidly
assuming Il more definite shape, and
Is receiving much encouragement
from outside people. The primary
object of the undertaking is to make
Il more direct and easier route be.
tween Reno aud the southern camps,
but it is doubtful if this will not be
eclipsed by the many other advan-
tages that will accrue. One of these
is the fact that it will be open the
year round, and except in unusually
heavy winters, will provide an excel.
lent and direct highway from Reno
to Southern California, as well us to
Tonopah and Goldfield, and the
scenery that will be made accessible
to travellers is worthy of building a
road for that purpose alone. Hun
dreds of people have admired the
the view of the mountains across the
lake from the car windows. 1t is
along these hills that the road will be
built, at one poiat skirtlng the edge
of percipitous bluff which drops off
almost sheer into the lake, distance
of 200 feet below, where thousands of
giant carp may be seen loling in the
crystal clear water, and the beauty
OF the panorama of lake, mountain
and valley can not be equalIed in
Nevada.
Another advantage will be the
development of 30 miles of the most
bighly mineralized sections of the
county which is ut pr esent but little
known on account of naccessibiity.
II is true that the project is a big
one, the cost being variously esti-
mated at SO, 600 to $50, 900, too
big for Mineral County to attempt,
especially when the principal benefits
will be derived by outsiders, and an
effort will be made to interest the
Reno Commercial Club aud similar
organizations in the south In the
meantime it is up to the local people
to boost the enterprise at every op-
portunity.
