Denmark to Turn Over Her
Possessions in Carri-
bean Sea
WILL PAY s25;OOo;OoO
Discovery Rights of Hardly Any
Value in Greenland to he Ceded
in Addition

Washington, d. c., July 2G -
Official admission is made that
treaty is about to be signed between
the United States and Denmark,
whereby this Government gains con-
troll of the Danish West Indies. The
United States is to pay the sum OF
S25,OOO,O00 in gold and to cede It's
"rights of discovery" in the Danish
possession, Greenland.
The treaty is certain to- be ratified
in the Senate. Republican leaders
ioined with Democrats in pralsing
the efforts of President Wilson IN
consummating the long negotiations
which are on the eve Of bringing the
United States into an important
strategic possession Tor the protec-
ton of the Panama Canal.
Denmark's huge expenses since the
beginning of the war are said to be
responsible for her willingness to sell
the islands. The war also ties the
hands of nations that might offer op-
position to the deal.
Republican leaders Of the first
rank declared that an important step
has been taken for the peace of the
world -. Fearing THAI harm 20 the
closing negotiations might result
from premature official discussion in
the Senate, to which the treaty must
be referred for ratification, Senator's
of both parties refused to be quoted.
Administration officials were equ-
ally reticent. 1t is known, however,
that the treaty has not yet been sign

mind in d&erring official discussion
of the proposed agreement is the
fear that Germany may intervene
and throw its influence against the
concurrence of the Danish Parlia-
ment, German statesmen are said to
look with dsfavor on the idea, that
the United States assume control of
the islands, and the probability is op-
enly speculated upon that German

Converging From Three
Points on Erzingan
and Fall Near
PREPARING TO LEAVE
Ottomans Must Retreat 13O Miles
and Are Not Taking Chances at.
Erzerum

London, July ga report from the
wireless press in Rome today says
the Turks have evacuated Erzingan
in the face of Grand Duke Nicholas
drive.
Petrograd, July 26-The Russian
operations against the Turks. which
lately have been overshadowed by the
more sensational events on General
Brusiloff's front, now are reclaiming
general attention.
AS a result of a series of consecu-
tive gains achieved by skilfully or
ganized offensive, which ever since
tbe fall of Erzerum has been slowly,
but irresistibly, sweeping toward the
obiectives in Asia Minor. The Cau-
casian armies now command the
heights which definitely threaten the
important Turkish base of Erzlngan
and make extremely probable the fall
of this city in the near future. The
Russians, after having stolidly with
stood most energetic counter-offenslve
without weakening, now are pressing
forward in three directions-trom
'Gumish Khaneh, As miles north OF
Erzingan; from Baiburt, 80 miles
northeast of Erzingan, and from
Mamakhatun, 45 miles east of Err
inran. all of which points recently
have been occupied by the Russians
and form an arc from which to focus
attacks upon Erzingan.
The new points mentioned as hav-
ing been occupied by the Russians
possessed every natural advantage
for defense and the Turks made the
most persistent efforts to hold them.
Their loss not only brings the Rus
slams within 25 miles of Erzingan,
hut gives them command of the chief
approaches to the city.
1t is reliably reported here that the
evacuation of Erzingan has already
begun and that the present defense OF
the city is being conducted only with
the purpose of giving the Turks time
to withdraw to a new base at Sivas,
100 miles to the west. There being no
railway system between Erzlngan
and Sivas. the Turks apparently are
attempting to avoid a repetition of
their flight at Erzerum and Trebl-
zond, where they gave themselves in
sufficient time for an orderly with
drawal and allowed their forces to
be divided and surrounded by the adj
vancing Russians.

TO STOP SEARCH

Federal officials Investigating the
waterworks tunnel disaster at Cleve-
land, Ohio, which cost % lives, late
Yesterday afternoon ordered all at
tempts to reach the bodies of II men
imprisoned in the tunnel abandoned
until some time today. This action
was taken because tests of the gas
in the tunnel through which the res
curers had to pass showed that it
is highly explosive, and the officials
feared a second explosion. An at
tempt will be made to pump out the
pas so that the work of recovering
the bodies may progress.
