 "tOn the main front our troops have captured dominating position beyond the frontier. The operations near O1ti and Ardahan have been delayed by deep SHOWS and severe frosts.

But Russian detachment attacked a transport of wounded in a, Russian village, captur- ing the severely wounded commander of a Turkish brigade, and killing oth- CTS of the wounded.'
