a. M.-Correspondente with the
Russian army in the Caucasus send
to their newspapers stories of the ter
rible plight of the retreating Turks
after the defeat of the Turkish 11tn
Corps in the Kara Urgan region. 1t
appears from these stories that large
numbers of prisoners were secured
through the capture of the victualling
transport, which left the regiments
concerned no alternative but starva-
ton or surrender.
The correspondents say that the con-
dition of the prisoners taken reveals
decentralization In the Turkish forces.
The soldiers were hungry and latter
ed. Many were without uniform, but
all to be equipped with modern weap-
ones. Large numbers were Arabs. They
suffered terribly in the intense cold
and snow.
The rear guards which attempted to
cover the Turkish retreat on ErZerum
according to the correspondents have
been virtually destroyed. The few dis
organized remnants of the army are
said to be fleeing in the direction of
l@zeFum. tii!tging their artil&y aE1
stores over precipices or burying them

which obliterated every feature of the
roads, the Russians are reported to hav

foe In one stretch of woods, the Rus
slams found 900 bodies Of Turks who had
frozen to death. In their hands they
still grasped their rifles
