IN CIIPTURE OFERZERUM

Tunis iuiiscirzn

Thousands oi Armenians Reported to have been Massaered. Austrians and Italians Still at Grips.

l'AltlS. Feb. 18.-While full details

of the capture of Erzerum, in Turkish Armenia, are still lacking semloifi- cial, advices from Pctrograd are to the effect that most of the Turkish garri- son made their escape. Thousands of Armenians are declared to have been massacred by Kurds before eva- cuation. There has been considerable artillery activity around _positions ta- ken by the Germans recently from the British in the vicinity of Ypres there have been several attempts by the Brit- ish to recapture their lost ground by iufantry attacks. Berlin says these attacks were repulsed with heavy cas- ualties, with the exception of a French assault against the Germans south of Somma, which Berlin also declares was put down. The artillery on both sides

has been the sole instrument of war- fare along the Western front.

The Austrians and Italians at va-

rious points are still engaged in ar- tillery duels hero and there. No no-

tagile victories have been won on el her sides. Vienna reports less ac- tivity on the part of Italian guns than usual. In Albania Austro-Hungarlans reinforced Albanians. Presumably ir- regulars occupied Kavaya, which lies eight miles southwest of Durazzo, three miles from Adriatic Sea. By the capture of this town it would seem that the Teutons nearly have Durazzo surrounded. Gsndarmcs, under Essad Pasha, Provisional President of Al- bania, who defended Kavaya, made their escape from the town and put into the Adriatic on ship.

among tho clerical cnipl0yUCS Of U10 Krupp works at Essen has reached such a state that, despite the risk in- curred -through such talk, tliero are rumours of an lnipcndlng walkout un- less the gun-making ilriu consents to improve thc working conditions of its liookkccpers and clerks, according to reports credited to thc Berliner Vor- warts reaching London.

The columns of the German DFCBS

were filled ln November last with un- stinted praise of the great armament concern. because Us annual I‘€D0l'l showed that, of the extra. war profit of $13,750,000 made during the year. ‘some $6,000,000 had been devoted to special war_ charities. The Kaiser sent a. telegram congratulating the company upon " this renewed evidence oi noble-rnlnded patriotic feeling."

The Vorwarts article, referring to

the woes of thc clerical employees. is ‘quoted as fellowsh-

“Grcat discontent prevails among

the clerical staff at Krupp's, in Essen; so great, indeed, that unless the llrm agrccs at least to some of the vary reasonable demands for a betterment of the situation these men will cer- tuliily abandon work rather than be exploited any longer as unscrupulous- ly as they are being exploited at pre- sent."

"Surely soiuetlilug can bc done to

avoid such a contingency, which ,would be only a degree less disastrous to the prosecution of the war than a strike of the workmen. Whereas the lattor have received an increase of v'vages~ in view of the dearness of liv- ing, the clerks and bookkeepers have to manage as best they may on their salary of $37.50 n month. Of this sum $3.75 a month is deducted for all sorts of funds and liisurancc. More- over, no extra allowance is given for overtime. even though the men are sometimes kept at work until past

families is none too generous, and in the existing conditions it is not even sufficient to pay for the barest necos- lti
