Advantage Gained at Erzerum fi Pressed in Direction of Bagdad Railway Line. GUARANTEES NOT GIVEN ARMY BELIEVED TRAPPED RUSSIANSPURSU1NG Ottomans ' Impeded by Deep Snow ond Difficult Country, 'With Lit tle Food or Monitions; Re sistance Improbable. PETROGRAD. via London. Feb. 20. The Russians are pressing the advan tage gained at Erzerum. On the right along the Black Sea coast, by the co operation of the sea and land forces, they are driving the Turks from one position after another to the east of Trebizond. and active operations against that important seaport are, ex pected soon. In the last two days the Russians liave occupied Witde (Widje) and pressed forward ten or 12 miles west ward. The fleet has destroyed several fhore batteries and by keeping well in advance of. the land .forces and by destroying bridges over several streams in the path of retreating Turks has made their retreat more difficult. The fleet bad been working so close to the shore that the warships have been reached by rifle fire from the Turkish troops. Mink Taken by Storm. On the left flank after the occupa tion of Koph the Russians pushed on to Mush and Achlat, the latter on the north shore of Lake Van. From Kops to Mush. 60 miles over mountain roads they fought several battles and occu pied Mus-h by storm. The Turks fled southward toward Iiarbekr, the next objective of the Russians. Once in possession of Diar bekr. it is only a day's march to the Bagdad railway, the last remaining communication into Syria. The rapid Russian offensive beyond Krzerum, It is believed here, makes it probable that the retreat of the Turk ish corps operating along the Black Sea coast and of those troops which were active in the Mush district before the. Russian advance will be entirely tut off and that the main Turkish armies will be surrounded. Division Marches Into Trap. This fate has already overtaken the Thirty-fourth division of the Tenth Corps, which was ordered from Oltl to Krzerum before the fall of the fortress. As telephonic communication be tween this group of Turkish forces and the garrison at Erzerum had been en tirely destroyed by the Russians, the Thirty-fourth Division marched serene' y on to Erzerum without suspicion that the fortress was then about to surrender. These troops reached Erzerum from the northwest at the moment that the Deve-Bolna line of forts fell into the Russian hands, and the army which they had come to assist was In full retreat. The road over which they bad passed was instantly occupied by Russian cavalry and. as they were completely surrounded, there was no alternative but to surrender with arms, equipment and artillery. TnrkJah PoaltlM- Perilous. It is regarded as almost inevitable that the Turkish corps retiring along the Black Sea coast under the de structive fire of the Russian fleet and the pressure of the Russian armies will be caught in the same sort of trap, as the Turkish troops falling back from Widje to Gumlsh Khaneh still have a greater distance to go than the Rus sian troops which are advancing from Erzerum to cut them off. On the Turkish right flank, where the Ninth Corps is operating, the Turks find themselves In the same precarious position, since all the roads of retreat to the north are gradually falling . under Russian control. The retreat of " the Turkish armies everywhere is Im peded by deep snow and the difficult character of the country. They are without food and lack war supplier and there seems to be little possibility or their orrermg even temporary re distance of any strength to the Rus ' man advance.

PEASANTS SAVING MONEY Finance Minister Says Marvelous Prosperity Makes Country Cap able of Raising Large Sums by Internal Loans. PETROGRAD, via London, Feb. 20. Contrasting Russia's Increasing proB- : , mith flnvma n v'a financial eco nomic .condition, the Russian. Minister of Finance, Pierre .u db.tk, in a "mo ment to the Associated Press today ex- nnininn that Russia COUld prosecute the war indefinitely without serious menace to tne nnanciai Humil ity of the country. "Russia's finances rest on the most solid foundation in the world," said the Minister "the economic prosperity of the Russian people, which is now greater than was ever conceived pos sible before the beginning .of the' war. Thus, while the masses of the German people are reduced by war to poverty, every month of the war has enriched the Russians. "The optimistic statements concern ing Germany's financial status have de ceived but few. On the other hand, thero is nothing illusory about the Russians' prosperity. It rests on the incontrovertible fact of the Russian people's increased earnings and sav ings. People's Savings Plllna lTp. "When, a year ago, the savings banks showed a monthly increase in deposits of 60.000.000 rubles, it was regarded as phenomenal. But that was only the beginning. During the month of January the savings banks alone show an increase in deposits of 120.000,000 rubles. This is accounted for princi pally by the growing thrift and econ omy of the peasants since the enforce ment of prohibition, by their great earning powers and the higher wages they command, and by the government provision for the families of soldiers, which materially increased their ante bellum income. "This marvelous prosperity makes Russia capable of raising a large num ber of successful internal loans and It is by this means chiefly that we hope to defray the expense of the war, which has now reached 1.000,000.000 rubles monthly. Germany can call for inter nal loans with no such confidence of their success. Loans Increasingly Subscribed. "We began modestly with loans of 200 000.000 or S00.000.000 rubles, but the last loan was for 1.000.000.000 rubles and the present loan of 2.000,000.000 rubles has every prospect of being readily subscribed. It is also encour aging to note that the rubier has al ready assumed an upward trend, while the German mark shows no sign of appreciation. , .. "Although the greater part of the funds Russia needs for carrying on the war can be raised internally, I do not mean to say that we shall not continue to rely on foreign credits. Loans with New York banks are now being con sidered and since we offer the best of security, that is railway bonds guaran teed by the government. It seems to me a loan will be mutually beneflcial. and it is to be hoped will mark the begin ning of greatly increased business be tween Russia and the United States. : wnrlH recognizes that Russia's financial difficulties are only temporary and the resuu oi mammy quickly to mobilize her vast wealth, we m e-o throuzh the war with our credit unimpaired." - MANY AUTO' OWNERS WALK Error Prevents Issue or several Temporary License Tags. iin.. n,.iiaAs rtf new automobiles ... i n .n4ns the Sarins- weather Will UUCU l.

Widespread Destitution and Com pel Labor to Take Employ ment Under the Enemy. LONDON, Feb. 20. The proposed plan of aiding Belgium to feed her self by rehabilitating the industries of the country under control of the Ameri can commission for relief in Belgium has failed, according to a letter writ ten by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, to M. Hymans, the Belgian minister here, because the Germans thus far have failed to reply to the request for guarantees that raw materials and manufactured goods will not be seized by the occupying armies. Sir Edward Grey's letter to the Bel- mtntatar fftllOWS! "Dear Minister During the last months you have represented to me frequently the condition of industries in that part of Belgium occupied by the enemy and the need for the import of raw material if these industries were to be saved from ruin and uni versal unemployment and distress pre vented. Pursent Situation Unchanged. "I now enclose a memorandum which shows the true state of the case. I should add that the question here dealt with is entirely distinct from the Im portation of foodstuffs into Belgium by the relief commission, as to which the attitude of His Majesty's government remains that recently stated to Parlia ment that the government will facili tate the work of the commission as long and insofar as the work is car ried en under adequate neutral super vision, completely Independent of Ger man control and In compliance with conditions laid down from time to time by His Majesty's government. "E. GREY." The memorandum referred to by Sir Edward Grey is in part as follows: "It is understood there is a strong feeling among the Belgians that the Industrial distress of Belgium is to be attribtued solely to the action of the allied governments in preventing im ports and it is often contended that this action does not appreciably harm ll.,mDnir -nrVlllo It ' Involves B.

"The unaertaKings aemanaea iruui . V. n no-manu In f-nnTmrtlnn with this scheme," the ' memorandum continues, "were simple. They were to permit the free Importation of raw materials and the export of manufactured goods mad;- from such materials through the relief commission. They were to re . . -,jj r,AA frnm all ftmhyirsro or requisition any stocks of similar raw materials or manuiaciurea gooas still remaining in the country. They were in general to treat any factory thus supplied by the commission as enjoying the same "provisions ana im munities as one of the commission's warehouses." Germnn Motives Impugned. The memorandum, after explaining that it had been hoped the plan would reduce unemployment and relieved the population of much ot the distress which is inseparable from Belgium's unfortunate position says it was sub mitted to the German authorities at Brussels by the relief commission four months ago. but, although inquiries were made, no reply of any kind was received from the Germans. The mem orandum then accuses the Germans of a deliberate plan not to enter into any agreement of the proposed kind until they have taken "the last ounce of na tive stocks of raw materials and manufactured goods which can be of any use to them and until they have been able to create such widespread destitution as to force a requisite amount of Belgian labor to emigrate to Germany or take employment In Bel gian works controlled by them for their own purposes. The memorandum concludes: "The German authorities must be presumed from their silence to have refused to consent to the scheme put forward by the relief commission. Their fixed policy of impoverishing the country and driving the workmen into their employment now stands revealed. His Majesty's government must dla- all responsibility toward the Belgian people for the evils which the enemy both has caused and refused to re move." Dairy Lectures Scheduled.
