Fight in SnOwstOrm.

Petrograd, Jan. 17.--A late com munication from the army of the Caucasus gives some details of the Russian victory at kara-Urgan. It says:
 During the last three days of the battle of kara-U -Urgan a violent snow storm ragged uninterruptedly. The conflict terminated in complete victory for our arms.
 Thanks to the efforts of our vali- ant Caucasian and Turkestan regi- ments, as well as the Siberian Cos saks, the resistance of the enemy was broken up. The rear guards, which covered his retreat were destroyed, and the remainedr of the Turkish ar my, hard pressed on flank and front, fled towards Erzerum.
 Our troops, pursuing, found in the ravines parts of Turkish cannon which the fleeing enemy, unable to rem move through the snow, had pre- cipitated from the heights. The pur- suit continues."'

CASES OF CHOLERA
 REPORTED AT kUTN0
German Transport Service Docs
 Almost SuptIhuman Work.

Headquarters German Army in Poland. Dec. 20, by Courier to Berlin: Correspondence of The Associated Prcss-F'rom Kutno to the headquar- ters of General Won Mack enz's army to one of the divisions of which the Associated Press correspondent has been temporarily assigned, runs one of the boggy trails over which the German transport service has done almost superhuman work in bringing forward ammunition and supplies for the operations against Warsaw for the past two months. A powerful auto mobile was barely able to blow it's way over this track to army head quarters. On most of the lesser roads progress in automobiles is utterly out of the question. Ammunition wagons with frightened loads barely are able to struggle along behind three spans of horses.
 Seventy-five Miles,
 The route runs for seventy five miles through an almost continuous battle field, scared with Russian and Ger man trenches. Kolo, at d crossing on the Warthe river, was the scene of the first big engagement of the present campaign. The battle of Kutno, the name of which is scarcely known in Germany, was marked by some of the heaviest and most sanguinary fighting of the war. Lodz lies thirty miles to the south of KutnO: Lowicz, for the possession of which great battle has JuSt been waged, is wenty-three miles east Of kutnO: and the line of the PHura and Wraka rivers which forms the present dividing line between Rus sian and German armies is only eight or ten miles beyond LoWicz. All this battling has left it's unmistakable inn print on the country. Trenches, some of them months old and others on which the unturned earth is still fresh and yellow. run in all directions Little half moon breastwo show where cannon have stood Soldier graves dot the landscape, the German mounds marked by a cross and the spiked helmet of the fallen soldier the rarer Russian graves usually showing the Russian cross with it's double cross bar.
 At Kutno, the first cases of cholera were reported. The whole region is "ch holera- suscept,' but so far the disease has been confined almost en- tirely to the civil population. In the army most energetic preventive meas ureS have been taken

Russians S|oW'y Pushing Back Cer-
 man Line to West Of Warsaw.

London, Jan. IS, 1:12 p. m.-Lon- don is recalling that this is the forty fourth anniversary of the proclama- ton of Wilhelm I. as German emper- or and in the British capital it is ex- pected that the day may bring news of a widespread German effort to fol- low up with a still more important movement the success achieved last week in the neighborhood of Sois- sons.
 In London it is believed that the Germans have adopted what is vir- tually a defensive role to the west of Warsaw-some British observers ar- guing that this has been forced upon them by superior Russian numbers and that these defensive tactics syn chronize with the movement of many thousands of Teutonic troops from Poland to the French and Belgian battlefields. The fighting at Sois- sons some British comm entators de- clare to be the precursor of the entry of these new troops upon a vigorous offensive, perhaps an attempt to cross the River Aisne. At Soissons the French failed to hold their posi- tions on the northern bank of the river and for the Germans to at tempt to gain the southern bank is regarded as a development to be ex- pected. As to future engagements in this region, it appears to be a fact that the French artillery on the hills south of the Aisne commands all the approaches to the river and that 1t will have to be reckoned with.
 Pushing Back German Line
 In the eastern arena of the war the steady Russian pressure which the arrival of one million of last year levies has enabled the forces of En- peror Nicholas to exert upon Ger man, according to news despatches reaching London, has been slowly pushing back the German line to the west of Warsaw. News despatches today report the Russian reoccupa- tion of Flock. This report has not been confirmed officially. but the Russians on Saturday crossed he Skrwa river few miles below. that point, and may have been able to oc- cupy the city. Russian forces al ready had reached Sierpeo and Gombia, lying respectively directly north and south of this provincial capital.
 The Russian defeat the Turks, if the claims of Petrograd are fully borne out, was so decisive that it may mark the close of the Ottoman attempt to invade Russia in the Cau- casan region. The Russian victory probably will free enough of the Caucasian region. The Russian vic tory probably will free enough of the Caucasian army to oppose cffcC- lively the Turkish forces which are
