and the Euphrates, under Russian do
minfon.
OF the two groups of Russian armies
which are now threatening Mesopo'
tamia overland, the one ALREADY men
toned has crossed the Mesopotam'
ian border and Is marching rapidly to-
ward Mosul. The only serious Gle
between 1t and this goal Is the anclen'
fortified city of JeZireh- n-Omar, or
an island in the Tigris 100 miles south.
this city, with its antiquated defenses
will not be able long to delay the Rus
sian advance.
Turkish Forces Separated.
The progress of these forces already
has broken the backbone of tho Turk
and Mosul, and the Turkish armies
covering these two points are now sep
arated, except for a circuitous road
too far in the rear to be of much
service.
Some zoo miles southwark the other
group of Russian forces, drawn upon
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, in the greatest
jeopardy. According to the latest dis
patches the Turks have been forced
to relax to great extent their re-
sistance to the British expeditionary
army and rush troops northWard. Thus
1t as thought the successes which have
been won by the Russians will soon
have an effect on the fortunes of the
British campaign.
