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.

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

Intent Declared to Be to Create
. 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

to consider proposals for the importa

"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."

serve their present stocks of Ori

they will find difficulty in replen

it will take a year or two after the
war is over to place the industry
on its usual basis. A round of the
