London, Jan. 13. Reuter's Tele
graph company has received a dis
patch from its correspondent at Petro
grad saying that an advance detach
ment of Turks has occupied the Per
sian city of Tabriz.
Tabriz is In northwestern Persia
and after Teheran the largest city In
the country. It is 100 miles east of
the Turkish frontier.
What the Occupation Meane.
London, Jan. 13 The taking of
Tabriz means the Turks, who undoubt
edly had the backing1 of some wild
tribesmen of that locality, have secur
ed a more or less important stage for
the projected Turkish attack on Rus
sian positions in Erven, north of the
Persian border.
The occupation of Tabriz was ren
dered easy for the Turks by recent
withdrawal of Russian forces to meet
Ottoman advance further west.
Whether the town was taken without
bloodshed is not known, but this is
thought likely.
Russiia's most vulnerable point, at
which the Turks are aiming, lies along
the undefended frontier north of Tab
riz. There has never been any neces
sity for preparing that portion of the
boundary against l'ersiuu attacks.
Great Britain and Russia may of
fer resistance to Persia in event of her
neutrality as a result of the Turkinh
advance. When, Ottoman activity in
Persian territory first developed. Per
sia not only announced but asked
reat Critaln to help 'preserve this.
Little could be done, however. Even
tlio Turkey should fail to push further
north, she has gained a basis for ne
gotiations and w ill also have obtained
foothold In territory on the eastern
bank of Lake Urumlaih. which she lias
long coveted.

serting that their expectations have

fact that the vote was reached by con
gress is considered by the suffrage
leaders to have boen a distinct vic

ful of suetess during the next session
of congress.
