TWO RUSSIAN ARMIES
SWEEPING ON BAGDAD
DRIVE T0RKS FORCES
Brief Statement From Petro
grad War Office Reveals Ob
jective of Grand Duke's
March Through Persia
KUT MAY BE REVERSED
PETROGRAD, May 2. A Russian army
la now approaching Bagdad and has re
pulsed Turkish forces thrown out to oppom
it. This statement Is contained In the of
ficial bulletin, Issued last night by the
Russian War Ofllce.
For the first time Bagdad la mentioned
In the otnclal statement as an objective of
one of tho Russian armies, which made It?
way Into Turkey through the mountain
passes beyond Kenonshab, In Persia. The
last that was heard of the army wa
about two weeks ago, when Kcrwlnd, on
theTurko-Perslan frontier, wnaNcapturcd.
Another Russian army Is advancing on
Dlnrbekr, with the probable Intention nf
taking Aleppo nnd reaching the Mediter
ranean. Thl statement, which was Issued last
night, reads as follows:
On the Caucasas front, In tho di
rection of Dlnrbekr, wo repulsed the
TUrks. In the direction of Bagdad
wp threw back an Important enemy
detachment to tho west, capturing a
portion of their artillery and a num-
ucr oi ammunition wngoms.
PETROGRAD REJOICING.
The announcement that Russian troops
are continuing their victorious march
toward Bagdnd nrottsed greater enthus
iasm hero today than did tho news of tho
fall of Krzorum and Trcblzond. Asia
Minor has long been tho goal of Russian
thoughts.
Tho surrender of the British force nt
Kut-cI-Amara caused deep regret here,
as It Is believed the Russians would have
beon nble to relievo General Townshend
had ho held out for a short time. The
Turkish troops that besieged Kut-el-Amara
can now bo used In tho defense
of Bagdad, but Russian military authori
ties aro confident that the opposition will
not he strong cnougli to check tho ndvance
of Grand Duke Nicholas.
The hardest part of '.he Grand Duke's
task was accomplished, according to mili
tary experts, when his troops crossed tho
northern range south nnd southwest of
Bltllls. It Is rumored that Dlarbekr has
beon occupied.
The brief announcement from the Rus
sian capital, when taken In connection
with Sunday's bulletin, which stated that
a Turkish olicnslvo "near Dlarbekr had
beon repulsed, shows that tho Czar's forces
nre sweeping on toward two objectives of
their great offonslvo in Asia Minor.
Tho force which Is now battling toward
Dlarbekr is probably part of tho army
that took Bltlls on March 3, and has nlnco
been moving wcstwnrd on the way to tho
coast. Dlarbekr Is a strongly fortified
place, tho metropolis of this region, and
capture of It by tho Hussions would bo a
sovcre blow to Turkish hopes. Tho town
lies but 75 miles north of the railroad
from Constantinople to Bagdad.
Tho reference to Bagdad in tho Petro
grad bulletin Is likewise significant. It
may Indicate that tho southernmost Rus
sian army, tho ono which overran North
ern Persia, has forced the pass Into Turk
ish territory, nnd is moving southwnrd to
gain tho famous city which Townshend
with his British Tigris army nearly
reached, only to bo compelled to retreat.
GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT
SOUTHWEST OF TREBIZOND
Russians Determined to Reach Angorn
on Way to Turkish Capital
PARIS, May 2. A great battle Is Im
minent in Armenia.
The Russians are determined to clear
the path to Angorn and eventually to the
Golden Horn.
One hundred thousand Turks have been
brought up to defend Krzengiui. command
ing the roads west, according ttf tho Paris
Journal correspondent at TIMIs. A con
flict of a decisive character in which the
Russians hope to smash Turkish resist
ance in Armenia Is believed to be only a
matter of hours.
John Chambers Pastor Installed
Prominent members of tho Presbytery
of Philadelphia participated last evening
at the Installation of the Rev. William
Graham as pastor of John Chambers Me
morial Presbyterian Church, a branch of
Bethany Collegiate Presbyterian Church.
Tho Rev. Br. W. Courtland Robinson,
moderator, presided. Tho sermon was
preached by the Rev. Dr. John Grant
Newman, of Chambers-Wylle Church.
The Rev. Dr. William II. Roberts made
the charge to the pastor, nnd the Rev. Dr.
Robert Hunter gave tho charge to the
people.

What is strength in steel files?
1 Steel filing equipment needs something more
than steel plates to make it smooth-working and
durable. Strength Is a matter of construction,
Library Bureau cabinets have the strength
and rigidity which assure perfect operation
under the toughest conditions.
In the great L, B. factories, in Ilion, N. Y
heavy sheet steel is wrought into what are
knows as "channel sides" (aa exclusive L. B,
feature), to which the case slides are electric
ally spot'lpglded. Back, top and bottom are
of heavy-gauge steel, making the frame as
Btrong as if cut out of solid steel.
Drawers and slides are formed to stand the

ADJUNCTS OF POPULAR CONCERT
POPULAR, BUT "POP" WASN'T THERE
First-Nighters Were Noticeably Absent at Opening Per
formance, Although New Features Added to Gaiety
of Free-and-Easy Entertainment
"Pop" and "mom," composltely, didn't
endanger the Academy of Muslo by ovor
crowding that ancient structure when the
"Pop" concert week popped open last
night The nearest approach to showing
the popularity of tho popular concerts of
tho Philadelphia Orchestra was the occa
sional popping of a soft drink bottle's cork.
There was lots of this kind of popping
and lots of "pep" but a painfully small
attendance nt nn nffalr that should have
been a standing-room-only proposition.
You see, It had nil tho elements that
should go ta make for popularity, did
this first of tho scries of "pop" concerts.
There was the splendid Philadelphia Or
chestra, there was tho popular Thaddeus
Rich as conductor, there wore th first
iloor seats of the academy boarded over
and the entrancing cafe tables scattered
about tho length and breadth, match
box and nsh recelvor on each table, there
were negro servitors with soft-soled shoc3
prancing about nnd anxious to serve you
with a sandwich at ID cents, a plate of
soup at 10, a salad, coffeo or as much of
any kind of soft drink as you could guzzle.
Thero were Japanese girls In kimonos
bearing trays of cigars Hiitt clgrfcttes, Just
fairly begging you to smoko and enjoy
yourself while tho orchestra was playing.
And nil this -for the merest handful of
people, both on tho table-studded floor
proper nnd In parquet circle nnd balcony
nnd galleries. Yet tho refreshments wore
surprisingly reasonable In prlco and tho
highest price seat one at a table was
a dollar. The cheapest seat, In the gal
lery, was 25 cents. There were only a
few hundred people scattered about the
whole house.

Bong were Boared over In lark-like Btyle
by the soloist, who mado the flutist flute
mightily to accompany her In this diffi

Salad with French dressing and cigars

along to Its close. Tho final number,
"Artist Life," that swinging Strauss danco
composition, tempted the feet to waltz
and tho audlcnco had no sooner got

Why the Color of Empire Tires
is a Safe Buying Guide
Color is running riot in automobile tires. We were the first to
produce a tire different from the conventional gray.
But mere color itself is no reason for buying a tire. "
Empire Tires are red because we discovered the red rubber of
our secret compound to have unusual wearing quality. That they
are red is incidental that they were the first red tires to be made
is significant. Pioneers always have followers. Our red was not
primarily an appeal to the eye. It just so happened that the best
rubber compound ever put into an automobile tire was Empire
Red. Now every tire we make is red red through and through.
