RUSS SWEEP ALL IN ASIA
MINOR; TURKS In FLIGHT
Rolling Advances of SIavs on All
Three Fronts; Crescents
Wait at Sivas.

Petrograd, March 4.-The Russian
advance in Asia Minor, radiating along
three main lines from Erzerum toward
Trebizond, Sivas and Bitlis, is meeting
with equal success in all three direc-
lions. AS there has been no serious
Turkish resistance since the fall of
Erzerum, however there is little to
record except the continued forward
sweep of the Russian armies retarded
according to a report from the front
only by the rugged country and the
severity of the weather.
In their retreat the Turks appear to
have been mainly occupied with at
tempts to save their guns and equip
ment, in which they were only partly
successful as the Russians report an
increasing toll of abandoned cannon.
The Turks are said to be strengthen
ing the Notifications of Sivas, 200
miles west of Erzerum, the only point
considered here as likely to be a ser
ious obstruction to the westward prog
ress of the Russians and it is believed
impossible that Turks will attempt to
make stand until Sivas is reached.
Turkish reinforcements are pouring
daily into this center.
In their north and south advancing
the Russians are closing upon Trebi-
sond and Bitless respectively and occu-
patton of both cities is momentarily

Yesterdays vote in the senate killing,
68 to IA, the Gore resolution warning
Americans off armed belligerent ships
is regarded as having practically set
tied the issue on that side of the cap

House leaders arranged early today
for their test. The rules commit &c
went to work on special rule to pro-
vide immediate consideration for a re-
port adopted last night by the foreign
affairs committee recommending that
the McLemore warning resolution be
tabled and setting forth that the pres
ident should be permitted to exercise
his constitutional right to conduct the
nations diplomatic affairs without
congressional interference.
Senate Vote a Criterion.
When it became apparent last night
that the fight was over in the senate
the house adjourned to meet at 10
o'clock this morning instead of noon
as usual, so as to dispose of pending
matters of routine business.
The action of the for eign affairs
committee taken by vote of 1t to 2
after many of its members mad been
insisting for two days that no resolu-
ton would be reported out, was re-
garded as the beginning of the. end of
opposition to complying with the pres
ident's request.
Administration whips had reported
that large majority of the rank and
file of the house Republicans as we'll
as Democrats stood ready to support
the president if the issue could be
brought to vote. But the controlling
spirits both in the committee and in
the house itself personally favored a
warning resolution and at first resisted
all pressure for a report

All speculative markets have under

prise moves steadily forward. Influ-
ences which affect stock, grain and
cotton failed to alter the even course
of money and exchange nor is the solid
foundation of business confidence
shaken. Rapidly rising prices of ma
terialS and. products, however, cause
increasing uncertainty, though in most
cases stimulating rather than curtail-
ing consumption. Many buyers, an
ticipating continued advances are
prompted to provide for future require
ments at current levels, yet expert
enced greater difficulty in further ex-
tending commitments.
Manufacturers, already covered for
months to come and in instances far
ahead in 1916, Ire in Independent
position and instead of seeking new
contracts endeavor to work orders off
their books and thus relieve the pres

standing claims of improved condi-
tions, transporting facilities continue
inadequate and the freight congestion

consumers alike, besides accelerating
the rise in commodities.

exceeded only by the colossal outgo in
December while imports surpassed all

grand total eventually necessary, it is
evident. therefore, experts say. that
ending the war in the summer can be
eliminated even as a theory.
The first force tc be sent and a
proportion of all other forces would
be divided between French ports and
Saloniki. The armies of the United
States would be of little use elsewhere.
Transportation Easy.
Experts point out that the trans
portation question would not be seri-
Gus, as the seas are clear and Great
Britain and France would furnish
transports that would be necessary to
supplement those that could be OBJ
tanned on short notice in the United
States
There would be no difficulty IN get
ting vast stores of ammunition and
supplies, experts say, through the ar
rangement which the war department
has made with manufacturers to work
first for the United States. This would
be supplementary to tile amount the
arsenals, gun factories, powder plants
and navy yards can turn out on double
time.
Experts believe the United States
would have to concern itself almost
solely with infantry at the outset and
rely for the near future at least on the
artillery of the allies.
The navy is already On war basis,
officials said Thursday night. The
navy department experts say that in
addition to sending the torpedo de-
stroyer fleet, all of the smaller craft,
gunboats and small cruisers would
soon be sent.
Official opinion is that the dread
naughts and battleships of the pre-
dreadnarght type would not be need
ed, as they believe the war is to be
decided on land.
In case, however, the allies decided
to force the German fleet into the
open, the United States would send
its quota of Marships for the attack.
