Developing a swift offensive, the. Knssians smashed across the Persian frontier southrwest of Lake I'ruminli, within 80 miles of the main Turkish lines of communien tiou south of Kn grind, dispatches tie clared today. The Slavs reached the region of Howondii!:, Several miles in side Turkey. They are marching n-ost-ward toward Nineveh and Mosul. Un less the Moslems check them, the Rus sians will within a fortnight threaten to cut off the sultan's troops checking the British nenr,Kut-e!-Amara. Thoro have been no developments in the Eussinn offensive in the Caucasus so surprising as the apeparance of an other S'nv army near the Turks com munications. Fur weeks the official Communiques) have been silent with re gard to the progress of operations around f'rumiali. Now the secrecy is lifted and discloses the Russians well across the frontier, their progress ap parently meeting with but little resist ance. It. is believed that Grand Duke Nich olas has outwitted the Turks and their German tutors. Following their victor ies at L'rzoruni and Trebizond, the Rus sians descended upon Erzingan as if they intended to cut off Bagdad. Con stntinoplo rushed reinforcements to the L'i'zingnn-Bil lis front. Meanwhile, the Russian left entered Mespotnmia, nnd suddenly npepareri ii"0 miles southeast of where the Turks had concentrated their strongest 'forces. British Repulsed. Berlin, May 15.

There was nothing on tho wreckage cast up on the beach by which the ship could be identified. I Sacramento Granges That Have Been Dealing With Consumers, Pleased Sacramento, Cal., May 15. Success for their direct marketing experiment was claimed today by the grangers of Sacramento county who have been oper ating their enterprise under the Duvid Lubiu plan of selling farm products di rect from the country producer to the city consumer, They expressed hope that congress would take some actiou recognizing the plan. The Sacramento county grangers, headed by Joseph Holmes, master of the California state grange, assumed the burden of the experiment. After tho first eight days of opera tion Holmes said: "There is no ques tion in my mind about the feasibility of tho plan. It presents unbounded pos sibilities nnd would be a great suc cess. ' ' During the experiment the parcel post is not being used. Instead the grange sends an automobile around to gather up and distribute the products. To meet fliis expense and other expense of oper ation tags are sold to farmers at a rate that would equal the parcel post charges as set forth ia Lubiu 's bill, these fates by the way, to be special for farmers. Here's how it works: The farmer mails or sends in tags on which ho designates the products he has for sale and the price at which he holds them. The city housewife mails, phones or brings in her order to the cen tral office, payintr with coupons. The orders arc distributed among the farm ers and next day t lie automobile deliv ers the products. The farmer receives cash t the amount .of the coupons. The grangers assert that their plan saves housewives froai two to 10 cents a pound on all products. On the second dav of the experiment four farmers had signed up. On the eighth day 20 were on the grangers' roll.

GENERAL SCOTT : SAYS OUTLOOK IS MORE FAVORABLE Fifteen Hundred Carranzistas at Big Bend to Aid Americans OPERATIONS CARRIED ON BY VERBAL AGREEMENT Prisoners at Acapulco Re leasedThree Mexicans Are Killed By Carl D. Groat. (I'uited Press staff correspondent.) Washington, May 13. General Hugh Scott today presented to Secretary of Vt ar .Baker and Secretary of Stato l.aus ing information which will be helpful in guiding their future course with regard to Mexico. Scott told them that while General Alvaro Obregon refused Mex ican co-operation in black and white, he offered assistance which will be helpful if there are no outbreaks among the do. tached Carranza garrisons. Scott's report tended to confirm the recent teeling of optimism with regard to Mexico, although he included in it the opinions of many El Paso citizens who believe that a general Mexican house cleaning by Americans will ulti mately be necessary. "General Scott is in a most optimis tic frame of mind," said Baker, after a brief conference, "lie seems to tlnr.Ji that a favorable situation has been cre ated." Because of weariness at his long jour ney, Scott postponed his meeting with Secretary Lansing. The war department had no confirma tion of reported new raids. Army men doubted that Cnrranizstas threatened the American communications. Fifteen hundred Carranzistas have ar rived near Big Bend in accordance wita an express agreement in assisting rounding up the Villistas who raided Glenn Springs. Villareal Denies Story. Washington, May 15. Antonio Villa real, in a letter to tho United Press, to day denied the charge of Ambassador Designate Arreriondo that ho had in stigated the Mexican raid on (ilem Springs, Texas. ' "I have condemned and condemn no with all my energy, the acts of the raid ers since they do nothing but add to Mexico's misfortunes." wrote Villareal. Ho said the campaign of abuse against him was directed because the Aguus Cnlients convention in October, 1014, tried to elect him provisional president. He charged: "Carranza is trying to suppress me at any cost." Three Mexicans Killed. Advanced American Base near I.a Guna ile Itascate, Mexico, Sunday, by wirelass to Cohnibus. N. M..

Tho top Slaughter's Wife Occupies His Pulpit Oroville, Cab. Mav 15. While Rev. Madison Slaughter's wife took his place in the pulpit of the Baptist church in Chico on Sunday, the pastor, just con victed of attacking Gertrude Lamson, ago 15, preached aad prayed with a handful of his friends in jail here, lie also conducted a service fdV the other prisoners and prayed for those whom lie termed his enemies especially mem bors of tho prosecution. It is ft foregone conclusion that a new trial demand will be made when Slaughter goes before Judge Gregory for sentence tomorrow. At tie same time, defense attorneys will ask that the pastor be admitted to bail, pending tho hearing for his appeal, Both mo tions will be strongly resisted by the state. The district attorney probably cannot prevent Slaughter from appeal ing his case, but ho will make every effort to keep the minister behind the bars. FRENCH M 1! Lieutenant Navarre Drops His Defi Inside the German Lines Paris, May 13.-Lieuton nit Navarre Fro ace s "I rear old has dropped a second manifesto behind the German lines, challenging l.icuntnant Iminel man. the famous "hawk" of Germany to an air duel for the championship of the world. The German flyer, ' credited with bringing down fifteen enemy aero planes, ignored the first challenge dropped from the sky a month ngo. Navarre, who has 14 air victories to his credit, informed lmmelmnn in his second message that he intends to make his aeroplane the fifteenth shot down. Allied aviators all along the western front are wilting with tense interest the outcome of the challenge. n smnotli faced French youth, has iougbf more than fifty air duels. Through ' each encounter he wore wrapped around his neck a silk stocking given him by a French beauty "for good luck." Navarre's methods of fighting are entirely different from those of Lieu tenant launelman, who swoops down upon his prey from a great height, shooting ns lie passes but failing to return to the nttack if the enemy aer oplane is not brought down. The French flier dashes straight for his enemy, circles him, worries him with a disconcerting fire and dives and dips to avoid bullets. Navarre pursues if tho enemy flees, gyrating like a bee over and above the enemy with his machine gun popping. A ye.ir ngo, Na varre battled victoriously against five enemy aeroplanes, bringing down two and escaping unharmed. On another occasion ho was reprimanded for es corting a German flier whom he shot down behind the French lfnes to a nearby wine shop, where he treated him to drinks.

Forrest (Puited Press Staff Correspondent) Iondon, May 15. Clad in a seedy, dark suit with frayed sleeves. Sir Hoger Casement, former British con sular agent, is on trial today in the How Street polico court on a charge of high treason which is punishable oy hanging. Ife entered the room smiling md nodded to acquaintances among the spectators. Casement's stubby, gray beard rendered his best smile ghastly, lie wore British army shoes. This is the first treason case in the Bow street court since that of Arthur Lvneh. rebel leader after the Boer war. The tiny courtroom was packed. Casement was so wedged in, among at Inches And lookers-on that he could scarcely move. The United Press seat for instance, was within three feet of Sir Roger. Daniel Bailey, a soldier arrested in Ireland April 21, also on a chnrge of treason, accompanied Casement to the prisoner's dock. Sir Roger was calm when Attorney Genernl Sir P. K. Smith begin reading the formal charge in which he re- viewed the knight's life history. His eyes roved, -occasionally resting on the presiding magistrate then on the spec tutors. Claims he Planned it Prosecutor Smith declared that Case ment not only planned the lris.i rebel lion, but also plotted to land severil expeditions in Ireland, nnd .on the Untish coast. Ho said that exchanged English prisonors would testify to the truth ot this assertion. As Smith proceeded, Casement grew fidgety. When the prosecutor said that Casement, had been knighted for his services in behalf of the British government, Casement hung his head Smith outlined Casement's capture He reverted to the knight's activities in Gcruuny and his endeavors to wean imprisoned Irish soldiers away from the cause of the allies. Casement smiled at that and wrote on a pad on which he was taking notes: "They did bo at their own request. The German auxiliary sunk off Ire land when Casement landed carried 20, 1)00 rifles, 1,000,000 rounds of Ammu nition, ten machine guns and many bombs for the rebels, Smith declared Smith asserted tnat the vast major ity of the Irish captives treated Case ment's overtures with contempt, where upon they were punished and their ra tions reduced. "A few, unfortunately," he said, "were seduced, including ftaniol Bai ley." Bribed Irish Soldiers to Desert Smith rend Bailey :s statement cor roborating the charge of Casement hav ing seduced imprisoned Irish soldiers in Germany, and showing that the sub marine in which Casement, Bailey ami others went to Ireland was the U P.). Police lnsieetor Parker, the first witness, testified that Casement had not attempted to spare himself when arrested but had insisted that Bailey was innocent. John Robinson, an Irish prisoner ex changed from a German camp, testified that Casement offered 1100 Irishmen in his camp $"i0 eae'n to desert. Casement came to court from the Tower of London in a tnxicah. He was heavily Slurried. A 'crowd surijcri around the tribunal demanding admit tance. Two women were in lino at 1 n. m. By six a. m. the mob was al most unmanageable. The police gave hot coffee to women standing in line. Robinson tcstifieri that fifty Irish men accepted Casement's overtures and enlisted in the Germ.in army. John Cronin, an exchanged prisoner, swore that Germany promised to trans port these deserters to America in the event of a German defeat. It was observed that Casement's shoes were without laces. This is precautionary measure to prevent him from committing suicide. Bailey's Confession Read. By Wilbur S. rcrrest. (United Press stnff correspondent.) London, Mny 15. Sir Roger Case ment's preliminary hearing on a charge of treason u connection with the Irish rebellion was conducted todav in the i Bow Street police court, the crown re- serving much evidence 'fur presentation at the formal trial later.
