Most Important Turkish
Port On The Black Sea
Is Captured By Russians

LONDON, April 1s.-Pressing their
attack vigorously by land and sea, the
Russians have captured Turkeys most
important port on the Black sea-Tre-
biZond. That the joint attack by the
land and naval forces was sharp. quick
and decisive is indicated by the fact
that Russian official communication
had just announced that the Russian
land forces at the village of Drona, sew
en- miles east of Trebizond. when a
new announcement OF the fall of the
town was made.
The Russians also are continuing
their drive against the Turks in the
region OF Balburt. tn the southeast. the
capture OF which town would result in
the joining OF the forces which recent
ly captured Erzerum and those now at
Trebizond and give the Russians a
line for a solid advance eastward This
is part of the plan for the isolation
of the Turkish forces in Mesopotamia.
Weather Interferes.

WASHINGTON. April 1s-The ad-
ministration is waiting on further re-
ports from American officers in Mex
leo before deciding whether the ex-
pedition seeking villa shall be with
drawn or reinforced for further oper-
ations. Additional advices from Gen.
eral Funston as to the situation are
expected hourly. Some kilograms
came late today. One was dated
Namiquipa, showing that General
Pershing had withdrawn to that
place.
Indications at the war department
bore out press reports that the pur-
suit OF villa was temporarily at a
standstill
President wilson and his cabinet
discussed the Mexican situation brief
ly today in the light OF review OF
Its military aspects submitted by Gen
eral Funston. II was announced later
that the situation was unchanged and
the Administrations policy unaltered.
One member of the cabinet admitted,
however. that no final decision had
been reached as TO the withdrawal
Of the troops.
Officials would reveal no word OF
the report submitted by General
Funston. IL was apparent however.
that II outlined a situation which re-
quired action In Washington. The
line of communication with General
Pershing's forces already is drawn too

to contradict border advices that
more troops must be sent IL the chase
