RUSSIA SUPREME IN
 TURKISH ARMENIA
Turkeys Power Broken and Her
 Best Armies Are Shattered

Petrograd, July 2S.-Russian troops covered a hundred miles in their ad- vance on Erzingan within a week.
 The capture of that city means the
 cupation of Turkish Armenia and
 gives Russia the benefit of the ex-
 tremely fertile valley and opens an
 easy means of communication through
 ern Caucasian armies.
 It is estimated that the Turks had
 between twenty-five and thirty divi-
 slOns between the Black Sea and
 Mush-approximate 35O,OOO men. Three months ago the Turks undcr- took a comprehensive campaign, in tended to recapture Erzerum and in
 cidently to draw troops from the Russian European theater, General Eudenich, Russian commander in the
 Caucasus, succeeded, however, in hold ing the Turks in the Erzerum district while delivering an effective blow at them in the Mush district
 In order to counter this f1anking from the south and a similar effort from the north the Russians were obliged temporarily to abandon Man. akhatun, fifty miles west of Erzerum. The Russians now have captured TrebizOnd, Baiburt and Gumish Khaneh and reoccupied Mamakhat!n
 The Galician advance of the Rus sians has caused the Germans to with draw troops from the Balkans and Turks were sent there to replace D thus afforded, started a vig- orous offensive toward Erzingan. Only a rear guard battle preceded the cap- ture of the town, the Turkish main forces having been beaten and forced to retreat toward Sivas.
 Colonel Shumsky, military critic of the Bourse Gazette, in an article on the victory of the Russians at Erzin- gan says:
 "This defeat of the best troops of the Ottoman Empire has quite broken the Turkish defence. No further serious offensive can be expected since only part of divisions from the Thracean and Egyp- tian armies can be spared to patch up these broken units.'
 The Russians are pressing closely around Brody, where there has been the least advance of their lines. Further north in the direction of Kove1 and -Volynski, and further south in the direction of Kolomea and Delatyn the Russians have gained ground much further west. But in the Brody sector their ines have been little advanced for the ast month.
 The Austro- Germans have been des- oerately holding the Russians to the inc of the upper Styr north of BrOdy n an endeavOr to prevent an advance on Lemberg from this direction, for Brody is much nearer to Lemhorg than either Kovel or Kolomea. The Russians already have held the ROv- no-Lemberg railroad as far as Rad ziviloff, almost on the Galician from tier, for more than a month, and now they are reported officially to be in Galicia attacking the Teutons twelve miles north of Brody, and on the northwest they are within six miles of the town. The Austrians have withdrawn along the Slonevka and the Boldurodka rivers, which are two small affluents of the Styr Rrody is fifty-three miles from Lemberg.

Rinq Life Preservers.

1.-THE worst trouble about life pre-
server" said an old sailor. lis that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get a
life preserver over his head. The av-
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
The proper way to approach life
preserver in the water is to take hold
of the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as man ringing cane at a
country fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued"

OF U. S.
MAY Be WITHHELD
German Submarine Plan Must
Have General Consent.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The cabinet
gave consideration to the notice re-
ceived by this government from Ger
many and Austria-Hungary that Oh
and after March 1, armed merchant
ships of the entente allies will be re-
garded as vessels of war No definite
decision was reached as to the course
this government will pursue in re-
spending to the notice from the CEN
trail powers, and it seems altogether
likely that several days may elapse
before a course is finally decided on.
1t does seem rather clear, however,
that the United States will not accept
unreservedly the new international
sea code proposed by the central
powers.
The best information available was
that this government will probably
take the ground that if this change
in international law and custom is to
be made, it must be made in the regu
lar way, that it to say, through an in
ternational conference, participated in
by all the nations interested
1t is pointed out that the United
States could refuse to accept the Ger
Hungarian proposition on
this ground without being compelled
to say that it does not believe the
change proposed should not ultimate
ly be made

Second Relief Force in Asia
Minor Bottled Up.
ARABS SIDING WITH MOSLEMS
Expedition Proceeding from Mouth of
Euphrates, constantinopIe Reports,
Shares Same Fate as One Headed
by General Aylmer on Tigris-Kut-
EI-Amara Relief Not in Sight.

LONDON - A Turkish war of.
flee report received here tells Of new
serious setback suffered by the Brit.
ish in Mesop0tamia and adds greatly
to the anxiety felt for many weeks
concerning the actual status of the
campaign. This latest defeat. accord
ing to Constantinople, was suffered by
the second British relief force dis
patched to the aid of the main British
army bottled Up in Kut-el-Amara.
TIC Turks attacked the relief force
at Suk-el-Schuchuch, where the Eu-
pirates reaches it's southernmost
point and flows slightly to the north
east to meet the Tigris at Korna. The
city lies a little more than twelve
miles southeast of Nasrije, which was
captured by the British early in the
campaign. The Turkish official state
ment indicates that Nazrije is again
in Ottoman hands and that the relief
force is decisively blocked in it's eff
forts to advance to the point where
the Shatt-el-Amara flows into the Eu-
along that river to relieve the main
British force. The Turkish inflicted
another defeat on British forces on
the Irak front near Kerua.
Fear Second Force Defeated.
1t is feared that the British relief
force on the Euphrates is in much the
same position as General Aylmer's
force on the Tigris. This latter force
has been unsuccessfully trying since
the beginning of the year to break
through the Turkish lines at Sheik
Said, about twenty-five miles south of
Kut-el-Amara and has suffered a num-
Der of serious defeats.
BY a curious coincidence the point
between Nazrye and Suk-el-Schuchuch
the region where a violent battle ap-
parently has been raging for weeks,
bears the name of Kut Nasrije is
about seventy-fve miles west of
Korna
Fear Effect on Arabs.
The Turks on the Euphrates are
aided by Arab tribes which rose
against the British early in the war
The failure of the British to make
Roadway, brought a considerable mum
Der of the Arabs to the side of the
Turks 1t is feared that the latest Otto
man victory coupled with the repeat
ed British reverses on the Tigris will
have a tremendous moral effect in the
Arab world and still further increase
the number of forces opposing the
British.
