MINOR BATTLES IN
PERSIA REFERRED TO
German Air Craft Are Now
Headed for the Coast of
England.
tBY ASSOCIATED PREsS)

LONDON, Jan. 7.-Neither Tur-
key nor Germany have conceded the
defeat of Turkish armies in the Cau-
casus, as claimed officially in Petro-
grad. AS further details are received
it appears that the reported Turkish
disaster is as complete as any Of the
war. The official Turkish announce
ment makes no mention of defeat and
speaks of minor victories over the
Russians by the Turks who penetrated
northern Persia. The announcement
mentions an indecisive naval battle
between the Russians and the Turks
in which the Russians sank an Italian
merchant ship "although they were
flying an Italian flag" and say they
vanquished 1000 Russians near Man
doah. The activity of Germany's
Zeppelins around the French coast has
revived the conjecture of a possible
raid of England by air craft. Several
dirigibles were reported sighted near
Dunkirk and they are said to have
turned towards the English coast.

altogether concilatory, it is said In
