~ AssocIATEp PRESS.

Petrograd, AIN. 6.-(Via London)-
The reported Russian victory at Sars
Kamysh, in the Russian Caucasus,
and the recapture of Ardahan. an in1-
portant junction point Of the mountain
roads from the Turkish frontier to
Kars and Tifiis, apparently removes
whatever menace to those cities was
presented by the Turkish invasion.
Military men here think the attack on
Sari Kamysh was secondary In i'm
portance to the Turks wide develop
ing movement designed to cut off the
Russians near the border and place
Turkish forces between them and the
Caucasian capital.
BY December 81 the Turks had es-
tab1ished themselves in the village of
Upper Sari Kamysh, but on the 30th
they were routed there, with the loss
OF 20 officers and 1900 men. Mean
while the Turks had occupied Arda-
han, to the northward, 100 miles from
the frontier, and eutrenched them
selves. They were attacked by the
Russians on January 8 and driven out
after hard fighting with great losses
on both sides.
Notwithstanding severe weather, the
battle was said to have been extreme
ly stubborn. The Turks. although in
sufficiently fed, showed great bravery
and were said to have displayed fight
ing qualities equal to those OF the
Russian Caucasian troops.
While the battle Of Ardahan was in
progress. the Turks returned to SaTi
Mamysb and made another attack, but
were beaten by the Russians in an
encounter which ended the night of
January 4. By that time the two
Turkish army corps operating in this
region were unable to offer further re-
sistance. One of the corps, with all
OF the stan officers, was completed and
the other was scattered.

is At MARIANNE AS ASSISTANT
TO RECUPERATE ITO POSTMASTER.
Has Been Ill for Some Time
and Decided to Tender
His Resignation to the
Postoffice Department.

Assistant Postmaster Fred. Roege
has rendered his resignation to the
postofice department, effective els soon
as his successor can be named. 1t Is
understood that the resignation OF Mr..
Roege is due primarily to the fact
that he has been i'll for several weeks
at his home IN the northeastern Sec
ton Of the city and decided that the
duties were too combining to permit
OF him remaining longer In the SER
vice.
Mr.- Roege became assistant post
master at Pensacola about two years
ago. first serving during the term of
the late Postmaster A. g. Fell and
upon the latter's death he practically
was in entire charge OF the Office
until Mr.. Hancock was named as Mr..
Fell's successor.
Mr.. Roege's service in the postofice
department was not confined to his ex-
perience as assistant postmaster, for
he had been postoffice inspector for
many years and prior to that time
had been in various departments of
the government
Mr.. Roege's services as assistant
postmaster at Pensacola have been
generally satisfactory and many will
regret to learn of his resignation.

SHES1A14 III NAIa
Tallahassee, Jan. 6.-An important
change took place in the personnel Of
the supreme court of Florida yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock. when Judge
w. A. Hooker, who was elected twelve
years ago, retired, and Hon. W. H.
Ellis, former attorney general, was
sworn in as the new member for a
term OF six years.
Immediately there took place the
customary casting Of lots to determine
upon whom the chiefs toga should fall,
which resulted in favor OF Judge r.
Fenwick Taylor and he will be chief
justice for the next two years,
Judge W. III. Ellis is the son-in-law
of Judge Taylor, and it is probably the
first time in the history of the state
that relatives by blood or marriage
have occupied the supreme bench at
the same time.
The fact that Judge w. H. Ellis has
been, promoted to the supreme bench
caused the trustees OF internal inn
provement fund to be without an at
torney, which position Judge Ellis had
SO ably filled for several years. AT a
recent meeting of the trustees, Judge
Ellis rendered his resignation as their
attorney, and State Treasurer J. c.
Luning made q motion that the attor-
ney- general, Hon. T. +. West take
charge OF all litigation in behalf of or
against the trustees and board of COM
missioners Of Everglades drainage dis
trict, inasmucA as Mr.. West had ex-
pressed his willingness to take charge
of the legal affairs OF the board and
the motion was adopted by the trus-
tees unanimously.
