EMect Far Reaching.

Paris, Feb. 17.-The capture OF the
great Turkish stronghold Erzerum is
declared by French newspapers THIS
morning as the best item OF news Ior
the allies In many months. the mill
tary experts dwell upon the Importance
OF the capture, declaring that 1T gives
the Russians the key to Asia Minor and
Is a victory which will inevitably have
far-reaching consequence.
General Berthaut in the Petit Jour-
nal says Ii is not only deadly blow 20
Turkey but an event which can not fail
10 have ite effect on the other theaters
OF the war.
President iPoincare telegraphed con-
gratuIations on the capture Of Elzerum
today to-, ,Emperor tNicholas and. Grand
Duke NIcholas, scOmrnAnders u the ais-
siar, forces on the Caucasian front.
It 10 said there were 467 guns IN
outer forts, 374 In the central forts and
200 field guns.
Great Strategic Point.
The capture Of Erzerum, which has
been ,the objective of the recent cam
paign OF the Russians in the Cau-
casus. represents one of the few defi-
mite ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the Cau-
casus campaign. Erzerum, which lies
sixty miles west Of the Russian bor-
der. is city Of great strategic i'm
portance as II Is the chief city OF
Turkish Armenia and the center Of a
system Of roads.
The Russians have twice decided
wars against Turkey in their favor
by tho capture Of Erzerum, and each
time Drzerum has been handed back
in the peace arrangements. While the
attacks OF the Russians against the
fortress in 1877 were unsuccessful.
their occupation Of the town during
the arrnistice OF 1878 finally brought
the Turks to accept the terms OF
peace.
The assault and capture Of the
fortress by the Russians on July 20
decided the campaign in Asia.
Tho forttfications Of Erzerum have
been greatly strengthened since the
attacks in 1877.
Turks Had Large Army.
It is understood that the Turks had
concentrated at Erzerum an army OF
considerable size, as recent press dis
patches said German Field Marshal
Baron Won der Goltz was In command
there with 10000 men. It was said
their escape had been cut of and that
they had provisions for only a fort
night. A relief expedition was sent by
the Turks, hut 1t was reported these
forces had been defeated by the Rus
SLAMS, with heavy losses to the Otto
man army
Last September Grand Duke Nicho-
las. who had been Russian command
j. er-in-chief, was sent to the Caucasus
10 take charge OF the campaign. He
I received achievements and several
weeks ago began active operations.
This campaign IL designed to relieve
pressure on the British in Mesopot-
anita, and It Is assumed Junction
with the British IL expected.
