without apologetic qualification
the Clarksburg public water supply
Is pure and wholesome.
Within the last six months q san
itary survey Of the water supply has
been made by several experts, each
OF whom pronounced the waterRs de-
ltvered to the consumers as pure and

ties as the United States Public

perylsion OF d skilled chemist and

Typhoid Fever. I.
There were sixty-tive deathsfrom
typhoid fever In Harrison county re-
ported to the state board of health
by practicing physicians In the Calens
dnr year Of 1912, as against twenty
ak deaths In 1913. when filtered wa
ter was deliyeredinto the city. While
these figures cannot be segregated
from data at hand II can be assumed
that Clarksburg suffered heavily In
these total losses In 1 . 10 and suffered
fewer losses In 1918.
Case and death rate records kept
by the water board indicate that IT,
phoid fever has been practically elinf-
mated In the filtered water districts
and that the present case rate and
death rate apply almost excluAlvely
to the country districts and suburban
towns not supplied by Clarksburg
water.
The typhoid death rate Of q com
munity will fairly we'll represent the
sanitary quality Of the water supply.

TURKS RETIRE
TO THE SOUTH
Rapid Advance Of the Russian
Forces in Turkish Armenia
is Pulling the Turks.
IN A PERILous POSITION
Far Reaching Results Would
Follow Success of Russian
ThrusttoWards South.
my Assoe,A,s. -sssn

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The Russians
have occupied the entire Lake Ven dis
trict, the Turks retiring southwark
and even evacuating Bitlis, according
to Petr~grad despatch received In
Rome and given out here by the wire
less press.
On the other wing. according to the
despatch, the Russian advance guards
have arrived within a short distance OF
Trebizond on the Black sea coast.
The rapid advance of the Russian
forces in Turkish Armenia following
the fall of Erzerum is complicating
the task OF the Turks in efforts to re-
form their scattered forces.
From Tlfls the Russian headquar-
ters in the Caucasus, comes the report
today that two Turkish army corps,
which were on their way to reinforce
the garrison at Erzerum, turned back
when they learned that the fortress
had fallen. Assuming the accuracy of
this report, the Turks in EASTERN Ar
menia have lost the prospect OF I'M
portant help in extricating themselves
from what appears to be their perilous
position.
Unofficial accounts Of the Russian
movements record an advance both
10 the south and to the north, in the
Formation towards Diarbekr and the
Bagdad railway, fifty miles beyond,
and in the latter in an effort to cut
off the retreat of the Turkish forces,
which have been operating along the
Black sea coast.
Petrograd dispatches indicate that
definite results are expected from the
movement TO the north, where anoth-
err Russian force Is working along
the Black sea coast in the direction
Of Trebizonds toward which the
Russian forces from Erzerum also are
pushing.
Far reaching results would follow
the success Of the Russian thrust to-
ward the south, 1t would appear. as
the cutting Of the Bagdad railway
would sever communication with
Syria and point to the possibility OF
close cooperation with the British
down the Tigrls from Bagdad In OPP
erations for the taking of that city.
Premier AsQuith presents to the
British parliament today motions for
two new votes of credit aggregating
400, OO0,0 pounds, calculated to
finance the war to the end Of the cur
rent fiscal year, March 81, for which
purpose 100000, 900 pounds Is need
cd and with the remainder to begin
the new fiscal year with ample funds
Premier Asqulth introduced two
votes of credit in the House of Com
mons Monday. The premiers speech
was confined entirely to the financial
aspects Of the present situation.
The first vote of credit was on the
supp Elementary estimate for the cur
rent fiscal year bringing up the total
war expenditures for the year to ST.
400 600, 900 pounds. This appropri-
alton is for 12O,000,000 pounds. The
second vote to provide funds for the
first part OF the financial year begin
ming Aprile /, amounts to 100000
900 pounds.
