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.

our oiiiig oooviu
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-
