RUSSIANS NEAR ERZINGAN
Grand Duke'9 Armies In Caucasus
Ueach Dominating Heights and
Fall of Turkish Stronghold
Is Early Expected.
T,OXIOX, July 25. The battle on the
Somme front, which began Saturday at
midnight and lias continued since with
brief lulls, Is still being engaged in by
British and Germans with the utmost
Btubbornness. As Indication of the im
portance the Germans attach to defend
ing' their third line is- found in the re
port of General Ilalg, the British com
mander and in the German admission
that troops have been taken from be
fore Verdun in order to lend all possi
ble strength to General von Elnen.
The British have been able to repulse
the fierce German counter attacks and
fully maintain their ground, although
the fighting largely consists of hand-to-hand
conflicts. There is no news as
to whether the Australians, who hold
the greater portion of the village of
Poziers, have yet secured the eastern
part, which is on the plateau dominat
ing the village. General Haig tonight
reports the repulse of a German In
fantry attack from the northeast.
Russians Close to KrzlnKan.
Advip.ea from the eastern front toay
are meager, but the Russian Gran
Huke's troops gradually are closing in
on Erztngan the most important base
and military position, ofthe Turks in
Asia Minor, while General Sakharoff
continues his successful advance.
According to a Berlin dispatch, by
way of Amsterdam, Turkish troops are
to be sent to help the Austro-Germans
against the Russians on the Galician
front.
FBTROGRAD. via London. July 25.
The Russian operations against the,
Turks, which lately have been over
shadowed by the more sensational
events on General Brussiloff's front,
now are claiming general attention.
Asa result of a seriee of consecutive
trains achieved by a skillfully organized
offensive, which ever since the fall of
Krserum has been slowly but irresist
ibly sweeping toward the objectives in
Asia Minor, the Caucasian armies now
command the heights which definitely
threaten the Important Turkish base of
Krzingan, and make extremely proO
able the fall of this city in the near
future.
Advance Made From Three Points.
The Russians, after having stolidly
withstood most energetic counter of
fensives without weakening, now are
pressing forward in three directions
from Gumish Khaneh, 45 miles north
of Eriingan; from Balburt, 50 miles
northeast of Erztngan. and from Ma-
makhatun, 45 miles east of Erzlngan,
all of which points have recently been
occupied by the Russians, and form an
arc from which to focus attacks upon
Erzingan.
The new points mentioned as having
Teen occupied by the Russians pos
sessed every natural advantage for
defense, and the Turks made the most
persistent efforts to hold them. Their
loss not only brings the Russians
within 25 miles of Erzingan, but gives
them command of the chief approaches
to the city.
It is reliably reported here that the
evacuation of Erzingan has already be
jrun. and that the present defense of
the city is being conducted only with
the purpose of giving the Turks time
to withdraw to a new base at Sivas, 13
miles to the east.

measure to conference in the House to

committee will be ready to force that
disposition of the bill when the House
meets again Thursday. Representa
tive Buchanan objected to Chairman
Padgett's request for appointment of
conferees under, unanimous consent.
Senate conferees already have been
named.
Whether President - Wilson's influ
ence will be sufficient to put through
the big Senate programme, carrying
provisions for immediate construction
of four dreadnoughts and four battle
cruisers and a three-year continuing
building programme, is uncertain. In
the course of the discussion in the
House today several Representatives
sought to have the House conferees
bound on certain amendments, but
Chairman Padgett insisted that they be
left free to smooth out differences in
the House ancl Senate measures at their
discretion. .
Secretary Daniels wrote to Chairman
Padgett today urging that the Senate

jected naval laboratory be located in
the Capitol be stricken out in confer

the naval consulting board suggesting
that the location sjhould be left to the

Claim of Co-operation Ctaarared.
The indictment charges that the

that the Government was co-operating
with the defendants in forcing the
railroad company to sell thel -and. '
In addition to charging that the de

in many instances the lands applied

value, were worthless. It is also al

The grand jury completod its Inquiry

Puter was one of the prominent fig
ures in the old Oregon land cases 10
years ago. He is on his way from the

he will be arrested tomorrow morning

President Koster announced at the

He could find no timing device or anv

'If it was the work of a deliberate

tne oomo were harmless.
'There is a possibility that the bomb
was the property of a miner, who
prepared the explosive, himself and
was carrying cartridges in the suitcase
with it for revolver use, and that it
exploded accidentally, as an ill-pre
pared explosive often lacks stability

"What is the reason for the Russian
successes? Briefly, the answer Is
nothing but overwhelming artillery.
The war Is developing more and more
into a war of mechanics and Indus
tries. What Russia cannot provide in
this respect is being given her by her
allies. She has received munitions in
enormous quantities.
"If equipped with these technical
means of power a General has no more
