Constantinope to do. to ease the lot Of
the Armenians. Realizing that the fall
of the city was near he sent for Mr..
Stapleton and to him delivered a mes
sage for the Russian authorities IN tho
effect that if the Moslem ponu,ation
were not molested by the Russian

just to the Russians to say that the
relations between the troops and the

The bazaars and shops are open and
the people are glad.
The fall of Erzerum had hardly been
announced before groups of Armenians
in various parts of the Caucasus began
plans for their return. Many have al
ready gone back and others are only
waiting for means to enable them to
move. The Van, Bitlis and adjacent
vilayets have already been opened and
permission to go back seems easy to
obtain.
The number of refugees at present
would total close to 100000. They have
managed for the most part to get
through the winter somehow, helped
by the various relief organizations at
work here. It is realized that to per-
nit a wholesale return of all would be
madness. They would return to ruined
homes and devastated fields. Very
wisely therefore those in authority are
urging the women and children to re-
main here while the men take up the
work of rebuilding their homes.
Among the organizations at work are
the Russian government, local Arme-
MAN and American committee. The
latter. composed of F. Willoughby

HOW THEY USE WAR
REFUSE rs RELATED

On the British nt.-fCorrespond-
ence of The Associated Press THE
question of what becomes of the vast
number of broken implements of war
fare and the discarded clothing and
shoes that are commonly supposed to
strew the battlefelds where great ar
mics are operating. may be answered,
so far as the British expeditionary
force is concerned, by a visit to one
of the bases of the British army. All
these things, from the big gun which
has been shattered by shell, to the
smallest part of Tommy Atkins per
sonal equipment which has been brok-
en- or lost. are gathered up and re-
turned to one of the bases where they
are repaired if possible. If they can
not be mended such parts as are in
tact are used in renewing other imple-
ments or articles of the same kind, and
in event that they are hopelessly brok-
en- or torn they are sold as junk.
A correspondent of The Associated
Press was permitted to visit one OF
these big repair depots. Departments
of every description were busily en-
gagged in the work of restoration. In
one building was pile of upwards OF
half a million pairs Of worn boots-a
veritable mountain of muddy foot gear.
These were being disinfected, cleaned
resoled and repaired in other ways at
the rate of 1000 pairs a week by a
! large force Of experts. AS fast as they
were finished they we're placed in stock
ready to go back to the trenches when
there should be a call for more boots.
In other shops parts of broken har-
ness from the equipment OF the army
horses were being repaired, saddles
were being made over, rifles were being
made whole. big guns were IN the pro-
| cess of renewal, uniforms and equip
ments we're being overhauled-ln TACT
every conceivable sort of thing winch
! finds use in the army was being rem
ovated. All unserviceable bits OF met
al were being stored to sell to foun-
deries and even the tattered pieces OF
uniforms were being made ready fol
the call of dealers who buy cloth OF
this description for various manu1ac-
turing purposes
! Much of the work in this repair de-
pot was being done by French girls
although a large force of men was
required for the heavy work and sucf
duties as called for skilled labor.
An officer explained that no waste
was the motto under which the Brit
ish forces were working and declared
that the result was the saving OF vas
sums of money for the government

PLAYING WAR At
BIG BATTLEFRONT
British Running Schools of Instruc.
ton For Soldiers Within Gun
Range Of Heavy Fighting.

On the British Front, Flanders.
April 2o.-(Correspondence of the AS
sociated Press THE spectacle of off,
GERS and soldiers playing at war WITH
in gunshot of operations which form
g part Of the greatest conflict in his
tory might seem to be an unusual
sight, and yet this actually taking
place daily back Of the British lines.
4 correspondent of the Associated
Press visited two schools of instruc-
ton where men, already trained in the
art of warfare, were seriously con-
Quoting mimic battles for experiment
tai purposes within sound of the big
guns which were causing death and
destruction towards the front.
One Of these schools was for the
training OF snipers. The men in this
school are not brought together to
learn sharpshooting. for they are all
experts. Their business is TO become
familiar with methods of concealing
trench loopholes so that the Germans
cannot see them, and to learn to dis
tinguish loopholes along the German
lines.
At one point line of trenches was
laid out just as though ready for bat
tie. Through the top of the trenches
facing imaginary German lines were
scores of loophoIes of every size and
description, each one concealed in a
different way. Unique methods had
been adopted in many cases to render
these holes invisible to the German
eve. and so well had they succeeded
that an officer going along in front OF
the trench, explaining the system, Of
ten had to search for some time be-
fore he could find the openings.
At this school any new ideas per
tanning to this method Of warfare are
experimental with and each man
learns numerous ways Of protecting
himself from the German fire. This
is considered a most important mat
ter, for the discovery of an opponen,
sharpshooters Of a loophole through
which a man is firing means almost
sure death to the latter.
At another point a group Of men
were firing from behind sand bags al
imaginary German loopholes a con-
silerable distance away. Openings oil
various kinds were displayed across
the field and at these apertures an oc-
casional dummy head would appear
to be shot away instantly by the alert
snipers.
When a man has perfected himself
in the art Of sniping he is sent along
to the front line trenches or wherever
needed. Not all snipers go through
sniping schools, but all receive the
benefit Of the instruction given il
them.
The second school was one for ex
