The treaty was originally submitted

ing Central American republic of the
good intentions of tbe United States
and declaring that tbe rights of these
•tates would be safeguarded.

The Russians have occupied the en

tiring southward and even evacuating
Bltflls, according to a Petrograd des
patch received In Rome and given out
by the wireless press.
On the other wing, according to the
despatch, the Russian advance guards
have arrived within a short distance
of Treblzond, on the Black sea coast.
Earlier despatches show that the
Russians are pressing their advance
on both flanks. Driving the Turkish
rear guards before them with heavy
losses, one of their armies Is advanc
ing rapidly toward Dlarbekr, on the
Tigris river.
Diabekr Is only fifty miles from the
Constantinople-Bagdad railway, the
only line of communication for tbe
Turkish army In Mesopotamia.
Turkish losses In the past two
weeks' fighting with the Russians are
said to be nearly 100,000 men In kill
ed, wounded and prisoners. The
kaiser Is reported to have sent an Im
perative message to Field Marshal von
Der Goltz, the chief military adviser
of the Tur |sh army, that the ad
vance of the Russians must be stop
ped at any cost.
It la reported on excellent authority
that a big German force Is being mass
ed east of Constantinople for the pro
tection of the Turkish capital. The
menace of the Russian Invasion of
Turkey is more dangerous that at any
other time during the course of tbe
war. Approximately 250,000 Russians
have poured through the passes of
the Caucasian mountains supported
by enormous quantities of artillery.
Along the Black sea littoral Rus
sian warslilps are bombarding Turk

the Turkish rout In the Caucasus Bur
passes all imagination. No unit re

army in High: Is being massacred by
the Insurgent population.
All able-bodied Armenians who es

EXPLOSION Ijyj. S. BUREAU
Flra In Government Engraving Office
at Waihlngton Start* Excitement.
Fire In the laundry of the gov
ernment bureau of printing and
engraving, at Washington, accompani
ed by loud exploalom, threw many
hundreds of employes Into a panic
and spread reports of a bomb plot.
The flames broke out In a small
building, detached from the main
structure, in which gasoline la used
for cleaning the cloths used In wiping
off the Inky plates which print cur
rency, stamps and government bonds.
Sixty men in the buHdlng when the
flames sprang up got out safely. The
succeeding explosions of gasoline
caused much excitement, but no dam
age in the main structure.
Two alarms of Are were turned In
and the vicinity of the building which
Is close to the Washington monument
was shrouded In clouds of dense
smoke.
A machine which washes and drlea
30,000 wiping cloths a day was put
out of commission by the Are. A* a
result the plates will have to be dried
by a long and laborous process, which
may necessitate running the bureau
twenty-four hours a day to keep up
with the demand for currency and
stamps.

his Hps. As he sat "til the electric
chair he looked around the room,
peering Into the Tares of the witnesses
as If he were looking for some one.
