CAUCASUS FULL
OF DANGER FOR
ALLIEDJttJK
PEKIN.—The political situation
in the Caucasus is full of danger
for the Entente Allies, according to
j E. A. Yarrow, chairman of the
American committee for Armenian
I and Syrian relief, who arrived in
j Pekin from Tiflis recently.
. From Batoum to the British front
| in Southern Persia, the only force
| oopposed to any German-Turkish
j advance, he said, is a comparatively
small number of Armenians with
limited supplies of food and ammu
; nition cut off from all communica
j tion with the Allies. On the other
J hand, all the Tartars are loyal to
! Turkey and Germany. The northern
| portion of Persia, he declared, is
j pro-German and these elements are
ready to take a hand in the war
if euipment find leaders can be fur
i nished them. There is a possibility
! of this German sympathy extending
j to Turkestan and Afganistan.
In the Caucasus and Northern
1 Persia, Mr. Yarrow says, the Ger
mans could mobilize at least a mil
i lion men and while they are not
j especially good fighters, they could
J greatly embarras the English in
Southern Persia and Mesopotamia
Two ways are open to combat this
menace, namely, strong pressure in
Persia and Mesopotamia, and the re
mote possibility of striking the
enemy through Siberia.
the Germans have the Caucasus
and Southern Russia,” Yarrow con
tinued. “and are pressing on with
all sorts of enterprises and making
conquests which require little or no
military force. As they go on they
are picking up their war prisoners
compatriots and under one guise or
another getting them armed so as to
co-operate when the times comes.
The Mohammedan races in that
region are getting the idea that the
German arms are invincible. There
is ceaseless activity of German
agents among them, pressing this
view upon them ,and if events follow
logically as they have begun, it
seems almost certain that the Allies
will have a most difficult situation
to deal with.”
Mr. Yarrow described conditions
obtaining at time of his departure
about the middle of March, as fol
lows: All communication to Persia
had been cut by the local Tartars.
The railroad south of Erivan ha>
not been in operation for several
months. Officers of the Turkish
army were working in this section
training the Tartars.
The railroad from Tiflis to Bak*
was entirely in the hands of the
Tartars and they permitted only an
occasional train to pass and that
■ subject to the most rigid search at
i stations enroute. From the train
: following that on which the Yarrow
party came out, nine non-combatant
Englishmen were taken at Elizabet
opol, and although Yarrow remained !
in Baku ten days, they had not been
released.
On the Turkish front to the west
there was considerable activity.!
After the fall of Trebizond, Erze-!
rum and Ka,rs the only way out from '
Baku was over the Georgian Pass i
from Tiflis to Vladikavkaz by auto- j
mobile and this was becoming un- j
certain because of the approach of i
Germans from Rostov. The American !
consul, Smith, remained in Tiflis I
and expected to hold on as long i
as possible.
The Pioneer Packing company, lo-1
cated at Cordova, has the largest;
capacity of any clam cannery in the
world, according to a statement
made by G. P. Halferty, president
of the company, and secretary-treas
urer of the Sea Beach Canning com
pany. He states that last year!
50,000 cases were put up by the
local plant, which was the largest
clam pack ever known. The com
pany has an unlimited supply of
clams, and has had difficulty in
securing men to dig them. It will
make a record pack this year. J
Prince Wiliam Sound has some enor
mous beds of the finest clams, j

TANKS OESTROV
VILLAGE TO GET
AT ENEMY GUNS
LONDON. — British tanks uprooted
a whole French village to stop the
fire of German machine guns from
| the houses, in a recent Allied of
| fensive.
The French troops had been
seriously hampered by the German
machine guns in or on the tops of
the houses. Tanks were in the
vicinity and a message was sent to
them for assistance. These com
plied, but the German machine guns
were too well protected to be knock
ed out by the fire from the tank
iguns. Accordingly the tank com
i manders conferred at the far end
of the village and decided in a hur
ried impromptu war council, to de
stroy the village by sheer weight
of metal.
The tanks accordingly rammed
house after house, bringing down
the machine guns, extricating them
selves from the ruins of one house
then proceeding to the next. In this
way the village was captured with
out a single British casualty, and
at once occupied by the French.
In another attack a tank was set
on fire, the officer in command was
killed and the first officer severely
wotinded, all within the German
lines. The second driver extin
guished the fire, assumed command,
and later in the day, drove back
single handed, preceded by about
fifty Germans, whom he captured
unaided.
Another tank, temporarily knock
ed out, consituted itself into a strong
point inside the German lines, and
held out for five hours until the
infantry arrived.
