London, March 10, 4:40 a. m.- Russia is making preparation to use the recently captured harbor of Riza as a naval base for the advance on Trebizond, from which it is 35 miles distant, according to Petrograd dis patches. Riza is an ideal harbOr for the purpose and offers ample shelter and anchorage. In this way the Russians will have the advantage of satisfactory communication by sea, while the Turks are handicapped by incredibly bad land communications. The Russians now enjoy complete mastery in the Black Sea and are keeping ceaseless watch on the Bos- phOruS.
