SITUATION
IN CAUCASUS DANGEROUS
FOR THE ENTENTE

Picking, Aug. 26.--The political sit
uation in the Caucasus is full Of dan
ger for the Entante allies according
to E. A. Yarrow, chairman of the
American committee for Armenian
and Syrian relief who arrived in
Picking from Tifiis recently.
From Batoum to the British front
in southern Persia the only force op-
posed to any German-Turkish ad-
vance, he said, is comparatively
small number of Amenians with lin
tied supplies Of food and ammuni-
ton cut off from all communication
with the allies. On the other hand
all the Tartars are loyal to Turkey
and Germany. The Northern portion
of Persia, he declared, is pro-German
and these elements are ready to take
a hand in the war If equipment and
leaders can be furnished them. There
is a possibility Of this Germany sym
pathy extending to Turkestan and Az
ganistan.
In the Caucasus and northern
Persia, Mr.. Yarrow says, the Ger
mans could mobilize at least a mil
lion men and while they are not es
pecially good fighters they could
greatly embarrass the English In
southern Persia and Mesopotamia
Two ways are open to combat this
MANAGE, namely, strong pressure in
Persia and Mesopotamia, and the
remote possibility Of striking the enc
my through Siberia.
"The Germans have the Caucasus
and southern Russia" Yarrow con
tinued, land are pressing on with all
sorts Of enterprises and making con.
quests which require little or no mil.
itary force. As they 60 on they are
picking up their war prisoners com.
patriots and under one guise or an
other getting them armed SO as TO
cooperate when the time comes. The
Mohammedan races in that region
are getting the idea that the German
arms are invincible. There is cease.
less activity Of German agents among
them pressing this view upon them,
and IL events follow logically as they
nave begun 1t seems almost certain
that the Allies will have a most diff.
ficult situation to deal with"
MIR. Yarrow described conditions
obtaining at the time Of his depar.
ture, about he middle of March, as
follows: All communication to Per.
STA had been cut by the local Tar.
tars. The railroad south Of Erivan
mad not been in operation for several
months. Officers of the Turkish
army were working in this section
training the Tartars.
The railroad from Tiflis to Baku
was entirely in the hands Of the Tar.
tars and they permitted only an oc.
casional rain to pass and that sub
ject to the most rigid search at sta.
tons enroute. From the train fol-
lowing that on which the Yarrow
party came out nine non-combatant
were taken at Elizabeth.
pol and although Yarrow remained in
Baku ten days they had not been re-
leased.
On the Turkish front to the west
mere was considerable activity. AT.
ter the fall of Trebizond, Erzerum
and kars the only way out from Baku
was over the Georgian Pass from
rlflis to Vladikavka by automobile
and this was becoming uncertain
because of the approach of Germans
rom Rostov. The American consul
smith, remained in Tifis and expect.
