Russian descent upon Trebizond and of
the strategy that forced the Turkish de-
tenders precipitately to abandon the city,
which, with German assistance, they had
made every effort to convert into strong
hold against Russian attack from the sea
or land But, according to the latest des-
patches, a decisive part in the Russian
operations was played by the Black Sea
fleet, which, after severe bombardment
of the city and the destruction of the great
Turkish shore batteries, landed consider

Employing the same tactics as they had
repeatedly used with success in their pro
gress along the Littoral, the Russian war
ships moved forward for some distance be
yond their objective and sent troops ashore
considerably to the westward OF Trebi-
zond, threatening to entrap the Turkish
garrison This move was carried out in
concert with the advance Of the Russian
land forces, which, since the capture OF
the Turkish positions at the karad re, had
penetrated to within striking dis nee OF
Trebizond without meeting ser1o., resis-
lance, and were accompanied by a steady
Commandment from the sea.
As soon as the Turks witnessed the Rus.

the other the road southwest toward Erin

SEES GASOLINE YET HIGHER.
Rittman and Like Processes the Only
Relief Expert SAYS.

WASHINGTON, April 20-Van H.
Manning, director of the Uniter States
Bureau of mines has expressed the be-
lief that the only hope for reduction
in the price of gasoline lay in the de-
velopment of the Rittman and like
processes. He predicted still higher
prices. He said that competing oil
companies had offered to supply gaso
line to the Government for GEAR at
81 l2 cents a gallon, and argued that
the private consumer would have to
pay much more. At the present rate
of production, Mr. Manning predicts,
the crude oil supply of the United
States, from which we get our gasoline
will be exhausted in twenty-seven
years.
"The situation is even worse, said
Mr.. Manning, for the production is
not going to remain stationary. The
demand for gasoline has increased more
than 200 per cent in the last five years
and is now increasing at an even fast
cr rate. On January last there were
> ,225,0 900 automobiles in use, and the
manufacturers estimated an increase
by January, 1917, to 100000. The
average automobile uses more than ten
barrels of gasoline a year.
Present Indications forecast a de
creased production of gasoline for
1916, rather than in increase The
daily production of crude oil for Feb
ruary in the midcontinent field, which
produces IS per cent of our refinable
oil, was 10000 barrels less than the av-
erage daily production for 1915, and
10000 barrels less than for 1914

TOO COSTLY FOR JOHN D.?
Price of Gasoline Reported Cause of
Closing His Ice Plant.

TARRYTOWN, n. Y, April 20. =
John d. Rockefeller after spending
$4,000 for model ice plant with the
idea of supplying all his needs has de-
cided to quit business. 1t was rumoreu
about Pocantico Hills today that the
high cost of gasoline to run his engine
FASTENED the closing of the plant pro
ducing 1900 pounds of ice a day,
which can be bought in the market Tor
about 50.
1t cost Mr.. Rockefeller in addition
to the price of gasoline the services of
a night and day man and the expense
of maintenance. He estimates that he
was paying about four times more for
ice than he would have to pay in the
open market. AS this is not according
to his business ethics he gave orders to
close the plant.

INCREASED SUGAR TRADE.
Run of Present Season in Panama Will
Reach $4,000 Sacks.

PANAMA, April 20. = Higher prices
and improvements in the methods of
manufacture and better transportation
facilities are having their effect on the
sugar production of the Republic of
Panama. Heavy sugar shipments are
beginning to come from the large San
ia Rosa mill near Aguadulce in the
Province of Colce:; This province IS
now the center of the sugar industry
of the republic but probably will have
a serious rival in the Province of Chi
riqui when the new railway is inaugu-
rated there.
The indications are that the present
season 5 run will be fully 10000 sacks
as compared with 10000 last year The
product finds ready market at $3.50
per hundred weight for the best grade
the brown sugar bringing somewhat
less. Most of the sugar production is
consumed within the borders of the
country although a small quantity is
exported to neighboring republics.
