Turks Resistance Slight.

PETROGRAD, via Londer, April 5
9:IO y. m.)-Although there has
been no recent official news concern
ing the developments on the Caucasus
front, il has been learned from pri-
vate sources that the Russian armies
beyond Erzerum and in Persia are
progressing swiftly and that the
Turkish forces are offering only oc-
casional resistance.
1t is evident that the Russian troops
advancing through Persia to the Mes
opotamia frontier have not yet met
the main Turkish forces. These, con-
sisting of the Bagdad divisions and
reinforcements sent southwark after
tho fall of Bitlis and Mush, are re-
ported TO be assembling in the Hani-
kin pass and when the Russians reach
this point they will be confronted no
longer by mountain bands and rem
nants of broken and demoializeo di-
visions, but with the fun strength OF
the organized Turkish army
Therefore. although an ultimate
junction with the British forces is not
doubted here, 1t is not supposed that
this consummation of the Russian
plans will be easily reached.
The German forces have passed
quickly to a general offensive along
the entire northern front In Russia
their attacks reaching the highest in.
tensity in the Riga region. where the
preliminary skirmishes have devel.
oped into steady assault supported
by the heavy artillery. The Germans
have been unable, however, to gain
territory by frontal attack against the
strong Russian positions and now are
attempting to flank the Riga positions
from the southeast.
From the other points on the front
there Is little to report except con.
tinuation Of mining operations and
aeroplane warfare.

The Lamb-Eish Lumber company
of Charleston. Miss, has begun to
load $4,000 white oak ties as the first
shipment of a huge contract with the
French government. The ties will
leave Gulfport, Miss, for France. The
next shipment will leave September
list, and the company will operate its
mill night and day in order TO fill con-
tracts with the French government.
Whether these ties are to be used for
laying tracks for railroads to haul
munitions of war to the firing line
and for quick mobilization of troops,
or are being purchased in anticipation
of a cessation of hostilities and the
rehabilitation Of French railroad
lines destroyed by the war, is not
known, but 1t means a generous por-
ton of the wal order prosperity be-
ing distributed in the vicinity Of this
lumber company. The Democratic
party will, of course, take credit
for 1t.

REPUBLICAN ACT AYERTED
PANIC.

II is quite common for Democratic
speakers and writer's TO credit the
new federal reserve law with avert
ing a panic at the outbreak Of the
European war, though that law had
not yet gone into effect. Chairman
Ollie NJ. James, Of the Democratic
National convention, is one speaker
who overlooked the record. He said:
what would have been the result
if the old Republican system had been
in effect when the worlds war broke
upon u.s."
The following is taken from the
annual report of Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo, for the fiscal year
1914:
"The outbreak Of the European war
precipitated many grave problems.
1t is a tribute to the economic
strength and soundness Of the coun-
try and to the patriotism Of its people
in every class and walk Of life that
the shock has been so admirably
withstood. This has been
c m D Iished Notwithstanding the
fact that the federal reserve system
authorized BY the act of December %.
1913, was at that time only in process
of formation and was therefore un-
able to render any service in the
situation"
What really did tide over the emer-
gency, as the Secretary Of the Urea
sury admits in his report, was the
Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency
measure, which was Of Republican
origin.

SPLENDID MANNER OF SET
THING CONTROVERSY.

Last week Samuel Plat addressed
an open letter TO Judge r. II. Nor
cross and A. II. Howe. his cOmpeti-
tors for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator, proposing
that their respective candidates. be
submitted to the Republican voters at
the primaries for endorsement, the
one receiving the highest number OF
votes I be ratified by the State
convention
In today's issue Of the Silver State.
Judge Norcross accepts the challenge
and will no doubt be followed by Mr..
Howe, as it is not likely that either OF
the three gentlemen would wish the
nomination unless positive that he IS
the choice of a majority OF his party.
The only difficulty in the way Of
putting into practice the idea ad-
vanced by Mr.. Platt would seem 10
be the method to be employed Judge
Norcross suggests that each candi-
date put a full complement of dele
gates in the field in each county OF the
state, which would permit the sup
porters OF each to vote for the dele
gates representing them. 1t is hard
" probably that a fair expression
could be obtained in this manner, as
many a Republican would vote for
his personal friend for delegate, ire
spective of whom he might represent.
If practicable, il would seem that the
better way would be TO have ballots
prepared, as suggested by Mr.. Platt,
and permit Republican voters at the
primary to vote directly for their
choice for United States Senator, with
the understanding that the delegates
will be guided by the wish of the
ma inrifY
