o.r. petrograd. April 31.
WJti the fall of Treblzond the Russians
masters of Armenia and the end of
the Turkish war Is oamlhg Into view.
There hro difficulties still to bo overcome.
'There are long distances to bo traversed,
but the "ommandlng position bf the Rus
sian army In Aslatlo Turkey Is nssured
and the splendid generalship, the mag
nificent soldierly qualities of tho Grand
1 Duke, which brought about tho fall of
two such cardinal points n Erzerum and
Trblzond. Is a Race of further victory.
THs Allies can begin nowronfldently to
face the probability of the liquidation of
the side Issues of tho war In Asia Minor.
Voicing the tionvtctlon that Turkey Is a
defeated nation and not In a position to
offer any peace terms, the Pctrograd Ga
zette declares:
"Wo may now consider one of our ene
mies finished. The taking of Treblzond
has eo disorganized tho Turkish defensive
plans that all that remains for her Is to
lay down, her Arms and ask meray. She
already has sought ways to a separate
peace, but has met with tho absolute re
fusal of her opponent, who Is determined
id closo no separate agreements. Tur
key's hour has struck, and It Is not Im
probable that sho will In the near future
entirely disappear from tho map."
No .longer Impeded by Turkish pressure
rm tho coast, tho Rus'Blan armies west of
ErzerUm have begun a swift advance on
Balburt and Erzlngan. With threo groups
bf Itiifulan armies from the Black Sea
coast to Bltlts In closo co-operation tho
westward comp'algn through Asia Minor
Is expected to develop rnpldly.
An official statement Issued last night
says;
At Treblzond we captured some six
Inch guns. Tho town did not suffer
from tho war operations. The Turk
ish, popUt&tlon fled. Tho Christians
remained and received the Russians
with acclamations.
South of tiltlls our detachments
dislodged tho Turks from a series of
mountain positions and advanced In
V the direction of Sghcrt (90 miles cast
of Dlnrbckr), repelling all enemy
counterattacks. The enemy loft sev
eral hundred killed. Wo took many
prisoners.
Dlarbekr Is the Russian objective In
the operation which seeks to cut off com
munleatlon between the Northern and
Southern Turkish armies.
ADMIT FOC'S GAINS. '
CONSTANTINOPLE, April II. Yes
terday's official report from the War Of
fice admits that the campaign against the
Russians In the Black Sea coast region Is
taking an unfavorable turn for the Turk.
Ish troops, but also declares that the sit
uation of tho British troops shut up In
Kut-el-Amara Is becoming critical.
In the Caucasus tho battle has
taken on a violent character, especial
ly on tho right wing. In the Tchoruk
region (northwest of Erzerum). The
enomy's attempt to advance, nt tho
cost of heavy losses, has failed he
cause of our counter-attacks.
The enemy, by the lire of his war
stilus, repulsed our coast reconnais

region), and by reinforcing and sup-
porting his land forces as much as
possible In tho operations. Is gradual
ly retting tho upper hand. Our troops
there. In splto of their small number,
are bravely trying to foil the enemy's
operations.
The official admission of Russian suc
cesses on the Turkish Asiatic scacoast has
caused feeling' of alarm In certain circles
here.
CRUCIFIXION 3IEANS LIFE

Bt. Stephen's Lenten Preacher Ex

"The claim of Jesus, from the stand-
f" it of history, to be In a special sense
's. son and representative, carries us
ho centre of His personality and ex
plains His tragic end," said the Rev. Dr.
Samuel McComb today, at the noonday
Lenten services In St. Stephen's Church,

Doctor McComb preached on the. "Cruci

"Christ's personality bo dominated the

Christ's victory over death meant that

business generally Is considered In a very
healthy state, according to the weekly
trade review of R. G. Dun fin vi,n
there Is a fair demand for all grades, most
business Is being done In combed peelers.
The locaV wool market Is somewhat
quiet and there Is virtually no change In
the situation over the previous week.
Shirtwaist manufacturers continue busy
and the season has been one of the largest
they have had In years. There is a good
demand for men's and boys' clothing,
prices have advanced somewhat, and there
is a scarcity of merchandise, of the bet

are firm, with an upward tendency. Col

Regardless of the fact that hardware
prices are higher and the volume of busi

No change is noted in' the coal situa

consumer is holding off, owing to the fact
that no reduction In price la made this

The week shows Increased activity In
the building trade; several large struc
tures have been started and also, a num

BERXSTORFF IN NEW DEMAND
FOR SEIZED VON IGEL PAPERS
Ambassador Also Wants Photographs
of Them Surrendered
WASHINGTON, April 21. Alnhassailor
von Bornstorff has made an official de
mand, through the State- Department, for
the return of every paper seized by ngents
of the Dparetment of Justice, when they
arrested Wolfe son Igel In the office of
tho German military attache in New York.
This demand covers nil papers tnken.
regardless of their contents and whether
they call be termed "official" embassy
papers or otherwise. The first demand
was made upon State Department officials
on Tuesday. Wednesday n second demand
was made and yesterday Count von Berti
storff discussed the matter during his
visit to the department.
It photographic copies have been made
of the seized papers and their contents
catalogued, as reported, the German Am
bassador will demand the return of tho
copies, the plates from which they wore
made and the catalogues.
An official of the German Embassy la
authority for these statements. Accord
ing to this official, the German Ambassa
dor takes the position that the office of
the Military Attache In New York Is as
much a part of the German Embassy as
the embassy building In this city, and
that an agent of the Department of Jus
tice would have as much right to seize the
archives of the German Embassy nH the
archives of the Military Attache's olllce.
COLLAR BUTTON SAVED LIFE
Either Carpenter Had Remarkable

The ancient carpenter held a small ob

"I.ooks to me like a collar button," the

"That's where this trinket comes in."
"Indeed?"
The ancient carpenter gazed affection

he replied, amidst breathless silence:
"Yes. the little bit of bone saved my
life. For two long weeks I didn't have a
thing to eat but collar-button soup."

MAltSElLL.ES, April 21. The Russian
troops, which arrived hero yesterday to

The transpoi ts bearing the ' Ilusslnns'
drew up to the quay at 2:15 p. m. yester
day. French .troops, headed by the 0th
Hussars and tho 115th Territorials, lined
tho landing to extend the arrivals n wel
come. Tho snllors of tho French fleet In
tho. harbor ninnncd the ynidarms of their
vessels and tho bands of the fleet took up
the Russian national anthem as the first
transport, Lutoucho Ticvlllo, drew up.
Tho Kussian officers and sailors wero
lined up along tho decks and on the
bridges of the transports, and the Rus
sian bands v played the Marseillaise. As
tho debarkation began cheers went up
from the Itusslans on tho transports.
General Lochwescy commanded the
Russian forces, lie was received with
military honors by General Mcnassior.
Governor of Marseilles, nnd General
Guerin, representing General Joffre.
CHEERS AND SALUTES. '
A notable gathering of Russian and
French officials Joined In un exchange of
salutations, and the Russian and French
soldiers cheered In Balvos while tho can
non roared un exchange of salutes.
Tho Russians were given a tremendous
ovation as they marched from tho quay
to the Boulevard Maritime, whero flags
were flying and vast crowds had assem
bled. They presented a sturdy appear
ance us they swung along, waving their
hands iu unswer to the enthusiastic cheer
ing of tho populace. The men were
marched to n camp which had previously
been prepared for their reception and
which contains every convenience for camp
life.
One of the happiest greetings they re
ceived was the appearance in a dally Rus
Blan newspaper, which has been started
for their benefit, of the first news that
Treblzond had been captured by their
brother soldiers In the cast.
Among other preparations for the Rus
sians la a Russian church, similar to tho
Orthodox church In Pari.
Throughout the afternoon vast crowds
surrounded the camp und kept up a con
tinuous demonstration of enthusiasm.
PARIS. April 31. While exact details
are not yet available regarding the nun
ber of Russian troops landed at Mav
seillea It Is known that the Russians came
in on u great flotilla of transports.
The Paris newspapers are filled with
encomiums fur the Russian army that has
landed a't Marseilles. The correspondents
sent to witness the official ceremonies at
tending the disembarkation declare the
Slav sodlers to be the embodiment of all
things military.
It Is expected that General Lochwescy,
commander of the Russian army, will
conie to Paris to payhls respects to Presl
dent Polncare.
The Russian troops will not be seen
In actlop on the western front before
another fortnight, It was btated today.
For the present they; probably will remain
In southern France. '
Several Russian officers arrived here
today, and arrangements are being made
for receptions In their honor.
Tho landing of Jtusslan troops In
Franc tp participate in the fighting along
the western front is probably an effort
to support the put-and-out conscrfptlon
tsts In England.
Russia, cannot spare a sufficient force
from her own battle fionts to cause any
material change In the military situation
in Franse. But. even a small body of
Slays contributed to, France must exert a
powerful moral influence in Great Britain
at a time when the British Ministry Is
threatening tt break up over the question
of Impressing uioro men for the French
front. -
Since the beginning of the Verdun of.
fenslve, tbe British have assisted tba
Frensh by taking over the western front
from Arras tc the Soratne. This baa re
leased probably lOO.OQO French, troops
for operation, at Yrduu- Bjj Ojerp
baa teen no active hlp extended to, Uj
KreaOi by tho prttlsh army an far As W
TLDSAf,,
known. The reason for this probably Is
that tho present number of trained IlrltlsU
soldlcra under arms does not permit nn
extension of tho British front beyond Its
present length.
MUST HAVE MORE MEN.
To contribute still further to tho Allies'
military strength In tho western nrca,
Great Britain must havo more men. Tho
appcnnuico of the Russians In Franco em
phasizes tho difficulties tho British Gov
ernment Is experiencing In keeping up Its
reserves. It Is not Improbable, therefore,
that the British, French nnd Russian rep
resentatives nt the recent Allied confer
ence In Paris decided upon dispatch of
Slav troops to Franco for tho purposo
of Impressing public opinion In Great
Britain.
Tho landing of tho Russlnna a't Mar
seilles, Instead of at n northern French
port, is duo to tho comparative freedom
from traffic" of tho French southern rail
ways. It will bo easier to move tho Rus
sians to tho Verdun front from Mar
seilles than from any other French port
that could have been selected.

ONLY TWO PHILS REMAIN

yet, In bnseball, It, has wrought some
sweeping changes lit the make-up of the
major lenguo teams.
Tho line-ups of tho opening games of
the men who figured In the Initial combats
of 1911 disclosed that almost 60 per cent,
of that , season have 'faded nnd slipped
Into the minors or are out of tho game.
Only 32 of the 144 men who played In the
opening games of 1911 figured In the first
battles of 1916.
Not ono pitcher of the 16 who worked
In the first games of five years ago wan
accorded a similar honor this season.
A comparison of the 1911 and WJC
line-ups brought out the following!
Of tho men who figured In the 19H
Phllllo opener, only two Rtlll remain with
the club. They aro Paskert nnd Luderua.
JIngco Is with the Braves, Doolan with
tho Cubs, Dooln with the Giants nnd

In 1911, Is with the Cubs, McConneM,
