TURKISH ARMY IN CAUCASUS UTTERLY DEFEATED AND
 NOW IN FLIGHT

LONDON, Jan. 21-Dispatches from Russia claim that the Ottoman resistance has been utterly broken down by another overwhelming defeat of the Turks in Caucasus.

This practically puts an end to the Turkish invasion of Russia and has resulted disas- trousy for the invaders, who have lost the flower of the army in desperate attempt to occupy the south part of Russia between the Black and Caspian seas.
 This defeat, it is anticipated, will also make a change in the Turkish program which contemplates an invasion of Russia through Persia, and will un doubtedly result in the withdrawal of the invading army
