A Good Selection.

1t is probable that W. W. Ven
able of Meridian, Miss, will be
the new member of Congress
from that district. Mr.. Venable
made his race as supporter of
administration policies; t h a t
means the support of Mr.. Will
sons shipping bill.
The shipping bill is the most
important measure before the
present session of Congress. 1t
is of vast Importance to the
Southern people. The cotton of
the South is now clogging the
seaports, and there are now no
ships to take it to the Liverpool
market. Since the outbreak of
the war there has been little free
shipping room for American pro-
ducts. In the very nature of
thing ship room was, first utiliz-
ed fotfammunition and provisions
for the European armies, Am
munition and provisions will get
the right of way until the end
comes. The soldiers cannot eat
either lumber or cotton, there
fore lumber and cotton must
wait.
The cotton crop of the South in
1914 would have fetched many
millions more if America..had had
ships. The same is true of the
cotton crop this year. The IN
tied States must be in a position
to have the cargoes Of its citizens
hauled to any part of the world.
The necessity for supporting the
Wilson bill is so apparent that we
deem it useless to discuss its mer.
its Commercial-Appeal.

The thing for Republicans tc
do is bury, instead of re-empha-
sizing, the old troubles. In fling.
ing down a challenge to the Re-
publicans, having its animus in
the 1912 broil, Colonel Roosevelt
invites and will receive but one
answer from the loyal party
members. The party will not
have its candidates and policies
determined by a dictator. Hav-

Since during the last few
months this country has been los
ing population to Europe instead
of gaining it, there is little likeli-
hood that the problem Of the un-
employed will be so pressing this
winter as it was year ago and
two years ago. In fact, many
parts of the country now report
a shortage of unskilled labor-a
very unusual condition at this
time of year.

ERzERuM GARRISON EscAPrr.

Paris.-The escape of a large part of
the Turkish garrison at Erzerum when
the city was evacuated is indicated in
the latest dispatches from Petrograd,
the fortress having been carried in
bayonet charges and not by a siege.
The Turks are reported to be in
full flight, and they are 'irg slaugh-
tered right and left by the Russians.
Before the city was abandoned the
Kurds m~assacred thousands of Ar
menians.
Russian forces forming the right
wing of the Grand Duke Nicholas
Caucasus army are within so miles
of the important Turkish Black Sea
port of Trebizond.
The ancient city of Baiburt, on the
road from Erzerum to Trebizond, has
been captured, it was reported. The
Russians are pushing on toward the
Pontine Mountains.
The capture of Trebizond is expect
ed within another fortnight. AID
vices from Petrograd said it was con-
sidered certain hat the Grand Duke
would send a force against the city
before pressing his campaign against
the Turks to the westward.
The Russian authorities already
have taken steps to ameliorate the
condition of the Armenians. A tri-
bunal will be established in Ere
rum as soon as possible and inyesti-
CATION of Turkish atrocities against
the Armenians will be begun at once.
The fall Of what was considered an
~impregnable fortress locate on a
steep mountain ridge nearly a mile
in altitude after only SO hours of
bombardment followed by a bayonet
charge is considered to be a remark
able achievement. The weather was
at its worst, with heavy snow and
temperature far below zero.
Apparently the dari1 g attack of the
Russians swept the Turks off their
feet. They had expected an invest
ment and considered an assault i'm
possible.
In Upper Alsace, after thorough ar
tillery preparation, the Germans at
tackled French positions north of
Largitzen and set foot temporarily
in their trenches. They were eject
ed by counter-attacks.
The British made a new attempt
to retake the position southwest of
Ypres recently captured by the Ger
mans, but were beaten off with
heavy losses, it was officially an
nounced by Berlin.
