TURKS IN CAUCUSUS
 SUFFER A CRUSHING
 BLOW, LONDON HEARS
Great Victory Is Officially Proclaimed at Perograd, While Germany and Turkey Are Silent As to Out come of Terrific Battle-Berlin Claims Successes Along Battle Line Tn West.

London, Jan. 7-Neither Turkey nor Germany has conceded the defeat of Turkish armies in the Caucasus as claimed officially in Petrograd. As further details of this fighting are re- ceived in London it would appear that this reported Turkish disaster has been as complete as that suffered by any forces since the outbreak of the war
 In spite of this, however, the latest official communication from Turkey altogether ignores the fighting in the Caucasus and dweEls upon the strug- gle which has spread over the Per sian frontier to UrIniah, an important town where the Turks say tl1at( aided by Persians, they have defeated the Russians.
 In Poland the Germans apparently are no nearer Warsaw a1N1 there is little alteration in the battle front ex- tending from the Baltic to the Car paathians. The Russians seem to be still concentrating their main effort in the Carpa,thian passes. At the same time they are continuing a vigorous offensive in Bul1owina- The occupa- ton of this Austrian territory, popll- lated aus it is largely by Runlanians
 may soon exert, in the opinion of Brit ish observers, a powerful influence bhroughout Europe as bringing the Balkans situation to a head.

ENGLAND BLAMED
 BY BERNSTORFF IN
 PASSPORT FRAUDS

Washington. Jan. 7-Count Bern storff, the German ambassador here. made this comment today on the al legged misuse of passports by German reservists, in the following state ment:
 England had violated The Hague convention and the rules of interna- tionaI law by taking unarmed people off vessels, a proceeding against which the German government com plained to the neutral governments. In consequence of this proceeding German citizens were deprived of go- ing home and several may have tried to use false passports for this purpose because of their desire to defend their country 8 motive which every good citizen will understand. If this real ly has been done it will have to be proved. In any case, Germans offf@ cials in this country had nothing whatever to do with ito

 The French war office asserts that the eastern end of the Ger man line is being pushed for ward at various places, In to- days official statement mention is made of an important, Advance in the Woevre district, resulting in the capture of portion of the German first line. An advance in this district. if continued, might threaten the German wedge in the French line which reaches southward to St. Mihiel. Tn upper Alsace also the for ward movement of the French is said to have continued. The Ger man war office, howeger, asserts that French attacks in A1sace were repulsed.
 Beyond the German statement that the advance in Poland is being continued, slowly, there were few new details of the east ern campaign.
 The German military govern ment of Belgium denied officially the report of the arrest at Brus-l sels of Cardinal Mercier on ac- count of pastoral letter in which the Cardinal was said to have advised Be1gians not to re- cognize German authority.

AGED WOMAN'S DEATH CAME AS SHE HAD FEARED Unusual Precaution to Shut

 OF NOTED BUILDER Doctor Unable to Resuscitate Victim, Who Dies In Ambulance

Unusual caution to prevent death by aspbyxiation from illuminating gas, brought the result she feared to Mrs. Julia Pinney last night. Mrs. Kinney was s6 years of age and made her home with her son. LeRoy E. Pin ney, 167 Ash street. She was found all but dead about o'clock today by her daughter-in-law. All night long she had been inha1ing the fumes of il- illuminating gas, which escaped from an open jet near her bed.
 The aged woman had a horror of just such a death as she met. It was her custom every night before retir- ing to make certain that the gas was turned off and frequently after having tAzEzlsd-eAi he control cock oh the jet once and extinguished the light, she Woulde@try a second and even a third time to make certain the flow of gas was secured. It is believed by her family that she was particularly ner- yous about the gas flow last night and that in an effort to make certain that 1t was turned off. shep turned it On again. At any rate she retired with the jet open and the flow of gas about half checked. All night long the fumes poured into her room the door and windows of which were tight 1y closed.
