Petrograd-ItIis officially announced
that the Russian troops have gained q
decisive victory at Sari Kamysh. The
entire Ninth Army corps of the Turks
was captured.
Accounts received here say the
Turks displayed great bravery when
their position was seriously threatened
and made frequent desperate bayonet
sorties. When they were compelled to
vacate gthey made valiant but futile
efforts to cover their retreat by rear
guard action, even the wounded con-
tinuing firing from the ground when
they were struck down.
According to telegram from Tiflis,
the persistence with which the Turks
pressed their attacks in the Sari
Kamysh district was to enable their
troops in the Ardahan region to retive
without heavy losses. Their opera
tions were conducted under tremend-
GUS difficulties. They lacked proper
equipment and had no transport trains.
Everything had to be carried on the
backs of soldiers or of civilians COM
mandeered for the purpose, Most of
the trophies of war captured by the
Russians were of German make.
