Russian victory was reported with a
considerable display in the papers yesterday.
1t occurred on Sunday in Asia Minor. The
Russian forces under Gen. IoRTs MELIKoFP at
tackled the Turkish intrenchments near kars.
The report which il of Russian origin. says
that they carried the first line of ntrench-
mcnts by storm. but the Turks retreatod to the
second line. and there the Russians did not find
IL convenient TO follow them. The engagement
lasted eight hours. and then the Russians with
drew to their original position, just rs though
the victory had boon on the side Ol the Turks.
The Russians say they lost $50 killed and
wounded. This shows what tremendous bat
tie it must have been. 1t is only in very dull
times that such skirmish is reported at all
and it ia only by the less lucky party that vie
tory is claimed when defeat has really hap
pencd.
