TIE RUSSIAN GENERAL WHO DEFEATED THE Az
CHAINS NEAR PESJDEH
General Komsroff has been appointed
Commsnder-in.C Chief over Turkestan. His
name had been comparatively unknown IN
til his victory over the Afghsns. the result
of fight for which he claims the defeated
were entirely to blame gave him worldwide
notoriety. The manner in which the news
of the battle was received in London made
it appear probable that he was the man who
would live in history as the General whose
action virtually began gres: war between
England and Russia. AT TIE pre- sent writ
ing, Notwithstanding the explanation which
he has given as the reason why he fought
battle st what was an in0ppOrlune moment
IN the negotiations proceeding between Fog
land and Russia, it is by no means certain
thst be will not be thus remembered. The
Afghan eccount of the battle and the official
report OF tint British officers who we're present
az u, or in the neighborheOd, are not We.
forthcoming. Possibly the anger OF England
ard her intention to resist what che claims
to be Russian aggression, will be justified in
the light of future developments.
