DELAYED Turkish Advance.

Armenian troops, after the breakdown
of the Russian army, took over the
Caucasian front and for five months
delayed the advance of the Turks, thus

of the Armenian bureau, the Arnenians
had been holding Baku for eight months
before the British relief force arrived.

Meanwhile German troops had ar
rived at Tiflis and had occupied the
seaport of Poti. The Georgians, ac-
cording to NJ. Raffis account having
withdrawn their support, the Armeni-
ans were left to struggle on alone
until the expected assistance from
the allies arrived When the Brit

500 men commanded by Gen. Duns-

become so hopeless that the British
commander advised the Armenians to
surrender.

HOME OIL COMPANY
 MAKING PROGRESS

The center of the stage in the Chino valley, according to Secretary-Man- ager Mcconnell of the Home oil com pany. is easily being occupied by his company, as it is the only one now drilling in that field. The drill in their well, now being sunk. is making sat isfactory progress. according to re- ports. and has just passed through hard and thick strata of limestone, with a prediction that the oil sands will be penetrated within period Of 60 days
 The Home oil company also owns property in the Holorook field, in close proximity to present operations. and has a lease on 160 acres in the Texas Ranger field. where production of i'm mense quantities of oil is holding the attention of the country. Secretary Mcconnell states that it Is the inten- ton Of his company to develop it's property in all three fields, and the favorable prospects in both the Chino valley and the Holbrook field coupled with practically certainty of rroduc- ton. in the already producing Ranger field. induces a considerable feeling of optimism among his stockholders, as to the ultimate value cf their hold ings.
 FThe knowledge that money received by this company Is being proberiy ex- pended and the visible results at the fields are strong factors that have induced the confidence they enjoy. and the untiring. straightforward and determined efforts of Manager Nc Cornell. assisted by Sales Agent Card ner, has had the desired result of plac- ing this company in such a favorable position for a successful conclusion of it's endeayors.

Press. President Wilson left Rome for Paris shortly after 9 o'clock to- night with the cheers of the Roman throng that had gathered to witness his departure ringing in his ears. His visit to the Italian capital had proved the busiest of his European trip, and it was the most demonstrative.
 The presidential party is not expect ed to reach Paris until Tuesday morn ing. as the itinerary provides for stops at Genoa, Milan and Turin.
 The president is represented as e. pecting. on his return, to the French capital, to find the peace delegates at the point of deciding on the first prin- ciples of the league of nations, thus paving the way to the disposal of what he regards as the necessary prelimi- naries to the peace before his return to the United States about the middle of February.

No other nationality has taken such pains as that and in serving their fellow countrymen they have served the Uni ted States. because they have found places where they would be most use ful and would most immediately earn their own living and add to the pros perity of the country itself

 Praises National Spirit.
 This is welcome occasion upon which to express feeling that goes very deep. I was touched the other day to have an Italian, a very plain man, say to me that we had helped 10 feed italy during the war, and it went to my heart because we had been able to do so little. It was necessary for us to use our tonnage so exclusive ly for the handling of troops and of the supplies that had to follow them from the United States. that we could not do half as much as it was our de sire to do to supply grain to this country, or coal, or any of the sup plies which it so much needed during the passage of the war.
 And knowing as We did in this in- direct way the needs of the country. you will not wonder that we were moved by its steadfastness. My heart gees out to the little. poor families all over this great kingdom, who stood the brunt and the strain of the war, and gave their men gladly 10 make other men free and other women, and children free. These are the peo- pie and many like them to whom after all, we owe the glory of this great achievement, and l want to join you, for I am sure of joining with you in expressing not only my profound sympathy, but my very profound ad- miratioE as well

 Too Many People
 There appeared to be more onlooki CTS than there were leaves on the palm trees of Rome. There were too many people for the streets, too many people for the great squares and too many for the trees, buildings, monu- ments and other points of vantage.
 The atmosphere was that of an aver age American city today on holiday to which was added the Latin touch so familiar to American tourists. This, however, should be multiplied in the imagination by about 1000. The result is a fairly accurate picture of Rome as it was today.
 After one month of rain, sunlight had come to brighten the parks and the garden and the city was fresh and glistening when the president arrived. Many bands were in the streets and the American flag was everywhere. Long lines of Italian troops just returned from the front guarded the streets and marched and countermarched At several places along the presidents route there was a sprinkling of American, French and British officers to give the picture an international touch.
