Petrograd. May 17.--With the ad-

toward Mosul, in Assyria, on the Ii

occupation of RivandouZa, the Rus
SLAMS are now bring ng fresh pres

Mesopotamia. The development OF
this line OF attack has greatly en-
HANGED the chances of success OF tho
Russian campaign, which holds forth
the hope of bringing not only Bagdad
but the entire country between the
Tigris ana the Euphrates under Rus.
sian dominion.
OF the two groups Of Russian arm
les now threatening Mesopotamia
overland, the one already mentioned
has crossed the MeSopotamian border
and is marching rapidly toward Mo-
sui. The only serious obstacle be.
tween it and this goal is the ancient
fortified city of Jezireh-lbn-Omar on
an island in the Tigrs, $50 miles
southeast of Darbekr. It is believed
that this city, with its antiquated de.
lenses, will not long de.ay the Rus
sian advance. The progress of these
forces already has broken the back
bone of the Turkish communications
between Diarbekr and Mosul and
the Turkish armies covering these
two points are now separated except
for circuitous road too far in the
rear to be of much service.
Some 200 miles southwark the 9TH
er group of Russian forces drawn up
on the Persian-Turkish border before
khanikin is prepared to strike
through to Bagdad. The combined
pressure from these two directions
upon the Turkish rear has placed the
entire Turkish army in Mesopotamia,
estimated at between six and seven
divisions, or about 250,0O0 men, in the
greatest jeopardy. Germany has hur
riedly dispatched forces, it is be

have come too late.

LET US WAIT AND SEE.

After Villa had raded Columbus short time ago and had killed our citizens, President Wilson said to General Funston, Capture Villa, dead or alive.' On the receipt of the message our troops crossed into Mexico to execute the order We had been hitchng for the chance. Our troops proceeded scatter the bandits in every direction until TOW the gang Is said be broken up. But the men who killed our citizens have not been brought to face justice Yet the Mexican government wants to come home, because there has been no agreement between the two governments whereby our troops can be allowed to face the bandits and execute the order of the President From Carranza's point of view this proposition may be alright, but from our point of view troops have been sent on puri- tive expedition and until the we'll merited punishment is administered. We fear that Carranza is wasting his paper bullets Villa deserves to be hanged and hang ne shall regardless whether Carranza is agree able or not It may war with the whole of Mexico. However, few more or less greasers don't amount to much anyhow, Carranza included. Propped up by a good reason, President Wilson sent our troops in there for purpose and none of need fear that the purpose will not be carried out Let us wait and see.
