CAPTURE PERSIAN CITY
RUSS TAKE KERMANSHAH AFTER
THREE DAYS BATTLE.
SuItan's Forces Unable to Defend Po-
stons Owing to the Lack
of Ammunition.

London, Feb. ga Reuter- dispatch
from Petrograd says the Russians
have taken by storm KermGnshah, the
important Persian city in the neigh
borhood of which serious fighting re-
Gently has taken place.
An official dispatch from Teheran
said that after a series of battles in
the mountain passes the Turks, who
had been aided by Germans, had re-
treated towards Kermanshah.
Kermanshah is 280 miles southwest
of Teheran and has a population OF
about 10000. The routes from Bag
dad, Shuster, Ispahan by way of Ham
adam, and Suleimaniyah meet there
and make the city an important CEN
ter of traffic.
The Russian operations in Persia,
which have eliminated in the capture
of Kermanshah, have had the local
purpose of putting an end to the &C
tivities of hostile mountain forces and
organized bands of Kurds, and it is
believed they have the broader scope
of preparing the way for a junction
of the Russians with the British ex-
peditionary forces in Mesopotamia.
Petrograd, Feb. 28.-The resist
ance offered by the Turkish forces
retreating from Erzerum to the ad-
vancing Russians apparently has frit-
tered out on account of the general
lack Of ammunition and supplies. I'm
able 20 defend points of natural ad-
vantage, the Turks are continuing
their precipitate flight into the fast
nesses of Asia Minor.
The loss of Ishpir, which was an
important munition ana food depot
serving the right wing, the Turkish
coast troops, and the left wing, the
Erzerum forces, further crippled the
power of Turkish resistance. 1t also
cut off main road communication be-
tween Erzerum and Trebizond.
About $4,000 Turkish troops, 235 of
ficers and 1923 guns were captured by
the Russians in taking the fortress of
Erzerum, the war office announced.
The Russians also took nine Turkish
standards and large stores of NUM-
tions, arms and provisions.
