THOUSANDS AR ! HOMELESS BY
 B|G F|RE:

GENOA, Feb. 19. - An incen- diary fire was started this morning, originating in a cargo of tallow on the docks. The flames spread with rapidity to the inflammable character of the tallow, and soon was threaten ing the whole city, the people fleeing in terror, not even having time to rescue their household furniture and valuables. The flames are still in creasing their scope, and the authori- ties are using dynamite in a desperate effort to check the fire. The entire fire department is working heroically and are being assisted by the police and the soldiers. Two foreigners have been arrested by the police under sus- picion of being responsible for the conflagration. It is impossible at this time to estimate the amount of the damage, but it will run into millions, and thousands of people will be home less. The king has wired the mayor to call on the national treasury for funds to relieve the distress of the people and to provide temporary quar- ters for the homeless.

POISON CAUSE } DEATH YOUNG
 GIRL

CHICAGO, Feb. 19. - Chemists who have made a post mortem examination of the body of the murdered girl, Mar ian Lambert, today reported the pres ence of cyanide of potassium in the stomach of the deceased. This cyan idle was undoubtedly the cause of the young lady's death. It has since been learned that cynaide had just recently been used by the father of Will Ormet. the young man accused of the murder, in spraying the trees on the McCor- mick estate An examination of an ash pile on the estate disclosed the presence of the poison. The connec- tion is thought of great importance by the police.

TURKS EvACUA7E ERZERUM WHEN
 FORT FELL

PETROGRAD, Feb. 19. - The war bulletins today stated that the Turks commenced to evacuate Erzerum when the first outlying fort fell. The forts themselves were not greatly damaged by the Russian lombard ment, and active steps are being taken to repair the Notifications, and garri- son the city with Russian soldiers. The Turks have retired several miles, the nearest available place for them to make their next stand being along a line of hills eleven miles distant. There are no Qualifications there, and it is doubtful if the Turks will be able to now check the advance of the army of Grand Duke Nicholas.

GERMANS TAKEN OFF AMERICAN
 STEAMER

SHAKIA, Feb 19. - The American steamship China, bound from Shang- hai to San Francisco, was held up by a British cruiser today and thirty eight Germans removed from the yes sel and made prisoners of the cruis- CT. The captain of the China protest ed against the seizure of his passen- gers, but without avail, as the cruis- CTS commander insisted that they were enemy subjects and liable to capture. The master of the China has wirelessed to the company's represen- tative at San Francisco full details of the affairs, and it is understood that the steamship people will ask the state department at Washington to protest the seizure.

GERMAN TROOPS GO WESTERLY
 FRONT

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 19. - Stories over the Belgian frontier tell of great movements of German troops towards the western battle front. Troop trains loaded with soldiers are daily press ing forward apparently preparing for a big offensive movement. These long trains of soldiers have been given the right of way over the railroads for the past six days, all civil business on the roads having been put aside to accommodate the military All of the trains contain infantry, no artil- Iery or cavalry has been noticed. About half of the new troops have been sent south from central Belgium the other half having been sent west ward, while some small detachments have advanced in southeasterly di- rection.

ARMY BE REPLACED
 BY GUARD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. - It was announced from the Mexican embassy today that the Carranza army of a 100000 would be gradually disband- ded. and the soldiers return to pur- suits of peace, as it was felt that the country was in a quiet condition, and that the few bands of outlaws in the hills did not necessitate such a large standing army. which was a big drain on the Mexican treasury. It is the plan of the Mexican officials to organ ize a national guard similar to the militia organizations in the United States, who would be subject to i'm mediate call to military service.
