from the Caucasus front, the battle

Lake Van is the great sea OF
Armenian people. and easily the most
striking physical feature of their
high plateau. 1t is the largest lake
in Aslatic Turkey, and, roughly,
marks one OF the widest borders OF
the Near East. a border TO which the

Persia and Russia, and upon the

having an area Of 1,400 square miles.
Its greatest length is eighty miles and
its greatest width fifty miles. The

TRADE BETTER
IN VIENNA NOW
SAY VISITORS
ALTHOUGH Tax Books Show That
War Hit Business There
Hard.
ION AssoeI.rro ralss,

ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. A.
yienna's tax books for 1915 reveal
the disastrous effects OF the war on
the trade OF the city.
For the current year. the tirst
whole year OF the war, the applicants
for concessions for new businesses de-
creased more than one-half compared
with peace years. In 1913, the mag
istrates had nearly twelve hundred
applications for trade concessions;
this year the number fell to little
over five hundred.
In normal years at least twice as
many men as women have opened up
new businesses of various kinds. Th1s
year the women have caught up with
the men. So many men have gone
to the front, and so many have been
killed and wounded, that the women
are coming in increasing numbers to
fill their places. :.
And also in the different kinds of
trade and business great changes
have taken place. OF some three
thousand meat and grocery markets
and dellcatessen stores in the city.
more than one-ffth have gone out OF
business, and more than twenty per
cent OF the butchers have closed their
markets. The bakers. too, are in
similar plight. hundreds Of them
closing because they could get no
flour, only for these the chances are
better, in that they will be able to
start up again when the war is over.
But while the official statistics tell
such a depressing story, Americans
who have been in Vienna recently
come away with the impression that,
generally speaking. everything there
is fourishing. The opera house and
theaters are crowded night after
night, cafes and restaurants are
filled, and the streets thronged with
well dressed men and women. Holt
day trade promised to be much better
than a year ago. At the beginning
OF the war all the dealers in articles
of luxury. jewellers. fashionable
dressmakers, picture stores and deal
ers in Vienna art goods, and the like,
feared they would be ruined. Their
trade came to a sudden standstill.
Some of the most prosperous stores
hardly saw customer In day, one
of them, a leading jeweler in fact,
didn't take in enough in week to
pay his electric light bill.
But now everything is changed
and these stores are doing capital
trade. Millions of crowns are in cir
culation. New fortunes have been
made almost over night. Small bus
mess men and manufacturers en-
ploying only score or two Of work.
men, have become rich; skilled trade
experts are earning tremendous
wages, farmers have been selling
their stock for fabuious sums, and
officers are back from the front with
accumulated pay for many months,
which they are eager to get rid Of.
Not in years has there been such
demand for high grade goods. The
fur stores are crowded with custom
ers, all wanting to buy sables, chin
chilla, Persian lamb and other expen-
sive skins. The fashionable dress
makers have more than they can do,
and even the smaller stores report an
excellent trade. Only in the very
poorest districts are the storekeepers
complaining of hard times.

COUNT JAIL
IS POPULOUS
THIS MONTH
LARGEST NUMBER FOR ANY ONE
MONTH SINCE STATEHOOD WAS
ADMITTED. MOST OF THEM ARE
ON ROADS OF COUNTY.

For the first time since the dawn
of statehood, the admissions to the
county Jail have broken all previous
records for any one month.
During the month of March there
have been admitted to the county Jail
just so prisoners to serve sentence
passed by the court. OF that number
33 still remain behind the bars, while
a number have been drafted for SER
vice on the country road between this
city and the oil fields.
Yesterday work on the road from
the city limits west was begun, and
there is also demand for workers on
the road between this city and Spring
er by way of the country club and city
lake. The county attorney states that
so far as he is concerned that he
wants to see every prisoner physically
able at work on the county roads and
eliminate much of this subscription
money tnat the business men or the
city have been compelled to put up in
the past in order to get the roads
worked at all.
The county officials determined
some time ago that any man without
visible means of support was going
to be given job. and it has had a
wholesome effect on lot of the in
diyiduals who never have been CON
victed of an honest days work. There
is a lot of road work to be done in
the county this summer and unless
the "Vags" get busy, they are going
to contribute lot of labor toward do
ing it,
