remarks that the fall of Ardanan be-
sides securing to the Russians their
position before karS. opens out new
lines of operations either against Kars
or Erzerouin. The Council of Minis
ters at Constanlinople Sunday deter
mined to send all reinforceInents still

Constantinople seem to overlook the
fact that these troops in making their
way to ksrs or Erzeroum would have

barring the way at the Tscburnksun.
Indeed the advance of the Russians
against Batoum seems to have been
undertaken with the aim of locking
up thirty-four battalions of Turks,
preventing them or any other rein
forcements from getting to the Tsch-
urnksun line to ErZeroum or other
threatened points.
