By forcing thi.s pa.ss, the Russians gain coutrol of some of the luost valu able oil fields in Austria, and thus shut •Cf another source of fuel supplie;, which the Austro-German armies are said fo so much need. While forcing back the Turks and Austrians the Russian troops are hold ing the line of the Mazurian Lakes in the East Prussia; are fighting strenu ously to withstand the Herman offen sive in North Poland; are advancing: towards (’racow and have crossed Bukowina. which is now virtually in their possesion.

London, Jan. j—A Reuter's dis patch from I’etrograd says; “Accounts of the Turkish defeat at Sari Kamysh say the Turks despalyeu graet bravery and made freqeunt des perate bayonet sorties. When they were compelled to vacate they made violent but futile efforts to cover their retreat by a rear guard action, even the wounded continuing tiring from the ground when they were strucK down. According to a telegram Ironi Tillis tlie Turks pressed their attack ill the Sarikaniysh district to eiiabU- their troops in the .Ardaiian region t.i retire without lieavy losses. Their operations were conducted under tre mendous diflicultie.s. They lack''I proper equipment and had na tran-i- port train. ■'The Turkisii force at Ardahan aly) is threatened with disaster. Tiie enemy in his orderly llight has bee i almost surrounded by the Russiat'.- who liold the main roads. The Turks are striving frantically to find an ou* • let, but have to face passes deep in snow. The Russians have attacked Ardahan on two sides, the artillery playing a prominent part.’’ Soutliprn Coal liiTesti^fatloii.
