People who display so little com

passed. when suddenly B and c
met the young man at a dance.
He seemed much interested in 4

Having received AS phone num-
Der, he called her up and made
an appointment for a show After
much hesitation, I accepted. and
found the young man in every
respect a gentleman Do you think
il advisable for A TO continue the
friendship Helen.
The very thing which Interested the
young man in A seems TO have been
the fact that while her friends
scraped acquaintance with him. she
held aloof- 1 really DO not approve Of
such acquaintance It isn't a matter
Of being formal or conventional II IS
a matter Of recognizing that il is not
safe for young women TO go about

they know nothing Even n real VII

matter OF fact, that very preteuse IS
part o. his game, and gives him q
hold over women who are attracted
by surface charm. II B and c were
properly introduced to the young
man by friends who know him and
know something Of his character.

British and Russians
Encircling Turk Army

London. March 16.-The Turkish
forces in Mesopotamia and Western
Persia are rapidly being encircled by
the advancing British and Russian
armies. General Maude reports that
the British troops are moving steadily
up the Tigris. On the left bank they
have driven thirty miles north of Bag,
dad. and the Ottoman forces are stun
retrcating. On the right bank the
Turks are making some attempts TO
check the British, but on Wednesday
night were pressed back some three
miles, bringing the British forces thirty
miles from Bagdad on that side OF the
river. The town Of Bakubah was cap
tured in this movement.
The Russians in Persia also nave
pressed ahead, dislodging the enemy
from fortified positions 10 the west OF
Kermanshah. and pushing forward a.
other points along the wide front.
, General Maudc is pressing the fight
on the Tigris in an effort TO drive
wedge between the Turkish forces re
treating before his men and those fall
ing back toward the Mesopotamian Dor
der from Persuia. Success in this
movement would result in the capture
Of the entire Ottoman army in TINS

New u. S. -Russian
Treaty Now Possible
Washington Is Hopeful-Chance
for Jews Seen
from Tho Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. March 16.-The advent
Of liberal government in Russia makes
an excellent opportunity for the nego-
tiation by the United States OF new
commercial treaty 10 replace the one
that expired January l, 1913, after
eighty years Of existence, many ON
Gals believe. The United States has
refused to renew it except on the con
dition that Russia will recognize the
passports of all Americans, including
those Of Jewish blood and Russian
origin.
The State Department has been anx-
ious TO negotiate new treaty, but the
Russian government never could be
brought 10 the point Of relinquishlng
the right TO exclude Jews. The ABB
sence of a commercial treaty has made
many difficulties in commerce, through
the operation of the Russian graded
tariff and otherwise.
Simon Wolf, one of the leading he
brew publicists of the country, told The
Tribune tonight that the outlook FOR
Jewish liberty in Russia was now de-
cidedly encouraging. All depends, how
ever. he believes. on the attitude OF the
Greek Catholic Church toward the new
government The Greek patriarch, ne
said. has been the leader in Jew bait
ing, and if he is not allied with the
revolutionary party the movement VIII
have little meaning for the Jews.

Loss of Algonquin
Laid to lack of Gun
Had Two Chances to Sink
U-Boat, Captain Nord-
berg Declares

London, March l6.-"lf we had been
armed do not believe the submarine
would have got u.s." said Captain Nord-
berg Of the American steamship Algon-
quin. sunk by a German submarine on
March u. in ar interview to-day. He
continued:
I'VE sighted the submarine when she
was three miles away, before she opened
fire. She was not submerged. and made
good target II We had carried but
one gun at the stern Of the Algonquin
7 firmly believe we would have been
able TO give a good account OF our
selves. II we had not been successful
in sinking the submersible we at least
would have been able TO brighten her
of. As il was, we were easy prey.
az am convinced from the cautious
ness displayed in our case that subma
rine commanders are taking no chances.
The fact that when the U-boat came
near the Algonquin it showed only the
periscope until il was absolutely salts
fed that we had no guns concealed is
an additional reason for my belief that
they do not attack armed vessels with
the same freedom as unarmed ships.
81 am certain that II we had been
armed and able TO hold our fire until
the periscope appeared alongside the
Algonquin we could have sent the sub
mersible to the bottom as sure as
