TlFLlS, Russan Transcaucasa,
L March 20.-t'ifteen thousand Ar
menians were killed by Turks at Ma
makhatun prior to the evacuation of
ErZerum, according to a statement
prepared for the Associated Press by
Richard Iiill local representative OF
the American committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian relief, of New York
More than that, many more, expelled
from .Erzerum and surrounding vii
lages, have dropped out of sight and
it is assumed that most of them have
met a like fate It is estimated that
there are two hundred thousand Ar

They are beginning to return 10 their
homes in large numbers. BY April |
1t Is thought twenty thousand will
have been repatriated. More than
hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars has been expended by the Ameri-
can committee for their relief, 175, 900

sene having been distributed.
Mr.. Hill describes Interestingly the
almost superhuman achievement Of
the Russian soldiers in scaling the
heights around ErZerum, packing
heavy guns piecemeal over the noun
tain ranges preparatory TO attacking
the fortresses. His information was
gathered from various officials and
army officers who have returned to
1Iflls from Erzerum.
Marvellous Work.
THE work of the Russian forces
was nothing short of marvellous "
writes Mr.. Hill. "They had to fight
their way from their original posi-
ton near Sari Kamysh clear up to
the city itself, over roads that beggar
description. The men waded in the
snow up to their waists, pushed on
through a binding snowstorm, scaled
apparently impossible heights all in
weather as intense and bitter as that
of the Arctic circle Guns were taken
apart and carried on the backs Of
soldiers, hauled up by ropes to the
top of cliffs and then dropped down
the icy slopes and put together in the
clouds, from where they brought ter
ror and CONSERVATION to the enemy.
Too much praise cannot be given TO
the valor and hardihood of the Rus
sian soldier. An artillery officer who

OF FOUR THOUSAND MODERN VEHICLES

fic was regulated by special body Of
men. For the mending Of the road a
considerable number Of experienced
roadmenders was detailed. For polic-
ing the road was divided into Sec
tions, each in charge Of an officer.
At noon on February 20. the day
after the battle began. this organiza-
ton was first put to the test. Within
four hours the road was free OF all
horse drawn traffic and has been so
since. Every motor-lorry carrying
munitions covered an average Of over
one hundred miles a day. Large num-
bers Of troops were brought up with
out hitch.
An average of nearly two thousand
lorries passed each day In either d.
rection. Not little Of the success Is
due to the roadmenders, who dashed
in between the rapidly running lorries
and worked like madmen for q few
seconds when the road was clear.

CURIOUS DANCE IS

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
DElTISH HEADQUARTERS. Fun
- ban, kamerun, Africa, March 80.
A reception and dance was given 10
the British force By the king Of Fun
ban shortly after the capture of this
province from the German forces. Tho
function was featured by II speech
from the throne and the taking of a
photograph OF the king and his six
hundred wives and lI9 children.
Soon after the last of the fighting
in the province the conquercrs ac-
ccpted an invitation from the king to
visit the palace grounds which open
on the market place. Here they were
met by the king dressed In new flow
ing robes of blue with blue muffler
tied round his neck. After the sol
diers were lined up at seats on either
side of the market place, the king
made a short speech, first in his ma
tive tongue and then in pidgin Eng
lish, admonisnng his subjects to be
kind and courteous to the new con-
querers.
Weird Costumes.
Then the dance began. The orches-
ira was made up chiefly OF various
sized drums made of hollow trees and
stretched skins. The only other instru-
ment was "a species of rattle with
which most of the natives were armed
and with which they kept remarkable
time. Six or seven men started the
BAH with native shuttle. varied by
a few more energetic motions. Some
were dressed in what looked like blue
overalls and others were in red, the
garments reaching from the heels To
the tip of the nose. Each man car
red on his head carved mask heads,
all white and about two feet high.
Round the neck of each mask was "a
large collar or ruff made of some
wood fibre "a foot thick. Round the
ankles they wore similar ruffs.
The men advanced to the king, rub
bed their masks in the dust and then
started the double shuttle. After do
ing this for some time the orchestra
and the native audience getting more
and more excited, six OF the kings
ladies appeared on the scene They
were covered much like the men ex-
cept that on their heads they wore
curious masses of wood fibre topped
by large punches of black feathers.
They went through the same motions
as the men for nearly an hour before
making way for the kings photog-
rapher.
Private photographer.
The king keeps his own private
operator for photographing his hun
dreds Of wives and many children.
After they formed in "a semicircular
group and were taken, the king ex-
pressed a desire to be photographed
with the soldiers His throne was
brought up and placed in front of the
lire for the operation.
The throne is "a very crude, clumsy
affair, the seat being made of cowrie
shells. the back and footstool OF
roughly hewn wood. all of which is
| covered with colored beadwork.
After the picture taking the King
consented to smoke his pipe measur-
ing seven feet, six inches long, with a
bowl that would easily hold two
pounds of tobacco and which was
brought to aim by the royal pipe
bearsr. The pipe was of brass.

lows; They now say to Russia 1T
Is true we agreed to let you have tho
city, but now you must give 1t up for
the good OF the common cause Tur-
key is sick of the war She will
gladly make peace and give you Ar
menia. but she will fight to the end
Tor Constantinople. If we can get
peace with Turkey within the next
few months we will deal a mortal
blow to Germany Rumania will
promptly come in and would have
done so before now excepting that she
fears your control of the Dardanelles
more than anything else. Bulgaria
VIII surrender, Serbia be reconquered
with ease from Saloniki and Austria
exposed to attack from the south. All
these things, which may decide the
war, will follow If you resign your
claim "
The Russian answer to this can
easily be imagined, and was in fact
limited in the duma recently when the
government was questioned on the
subject: I'VE have made the greatest
sacrifices. we have lost millions Of
men and Poland and our historic de-
sire for Constantinople must be full
filled at any cost. for without il we
should appear a beaten nation even II
we won back most of what we have
lost. We hold you to your agree
ment.
Enough has been said to indicate
the nature of the difficulties in the
way not only of peace with Turkey,
but of effective common action
against her. The steady refusal up
to the present, Of Italy to send any OF
her great reserves of troops to help in
Mediterranean campaign is due to
the inability of England and France
10 reconcile the conflicting claims of
Italy with those of Russia, Serbia and
TO some extent with their own. Just
what Italy does want Is a secret, but
1t is evident she wants much more
than is assured by the secret treaty.
The recent conferences of the allies
in Paris is understood to have dealt
with certain of these problems, but IL
they were solved the solutions have
not leaked out.
Balkans and Egypt.
What military activity develops in
the Balkans and what use Is made OF
the great British army now in Egypt
must depend on settlement of the
conflicting issues. The grand duke,
by his victories in Armenia. prevented
the assault planned by the Turks and
Germans on Egypt. and forced Enver
fasha To withdraw the army in Pal
estine and use it to protect the roads
TO the capital. Holding the command
OF the sea. the British are expected to
make great attack this spring or
summer with a view to eventual CO.
operation with the Russians.
a movement by General Sarrail
from Saloniki is made difficult by
the presence of the Bulgarian army in
Macedonia. II is known that the Bull
gars have refused to fight for the
Germans on the main fronts, and
there is a natural disnclination to
send French and British troops in the
present state of affairs against enc
mics who. If let alone, will do no
more harm than they have done al
ready. 1t is recognized that Serbia
must be restored, but peace with
Turkey. 1t Is thought here, would
bring Bulgaria to her knees without
much more fighting.

While Robbie's Men Are Powerless Before

There was little nourishmcnt Tor
Brooklyn in the opening game of a three
ply series between the Dodgers and the

Field yesterday afternoon. When the
last play closed the rain ridden contest
the Robins were staring into the jaws
OF a 8 to 0 defeat.
Aside from the benefits Of practice and
experience to be gained by the rivals
there was little occasion for exposing The
good arbiters to an hour and three-quar-
tiers OF drizzlc. Not enough money was
received at the box office to pay the
ushers. and the weather throughout was
AS dismal as Squire Ebbets's feelings
over the Dodgers failure to sidestep the
whitewash.
Like the average ball game this one
was decided on two points. hitting and

runs because they couldn't hit Carrigan's

BERRIGAN Furnishes BALL

PRINCETON. April 6.-Tordham's base
ball players avenged their defeat last
year at the hands Of Princeton by
banking the Tigers TO 0 here this
afternoon.
The game was played during a misty
rain and the field was slow. The visi-
tors owed their success chiefly to the
consistently effective pitching Of Mar
tin and their " timely batting. Mar
tin was touched for five safeties by the
Tigers. but all of them were singles
and no two were allowed in h same
inning.
Berrigan starred al the bat for the
Fordham nine, with a brace of doubles,
which served to offset his frequent err
rors at short. Chaplin. the Tiger pitcher.

larger score against him only by bril-
liant fielding Of his mates. He sue

to Berrlgan and a clean single by Mar

ninth. when Fitzpatrick drew . pass.
reached second on the next play and
came home on Berrigan's double to
right. BerriEan In turn was brought
home when Blake drove the ball into
deep centre field for two bases.
The only consolation tho Princeton
supporters derived from the game was
the apparent discovery Of a frst class
man for left field In Heating. This
place has been worrying the Tigers
greatly this year. Heating singled twice
and helded brilliantly. The score:
