Details Still Unknown.
How this important junction was
effected is still unknown, and the

detachment came from the regular
army which is threatening Khanikai,
but II still remains a puzzle where and
how the Russians succeeded in cross

Their sudden appearance with Cen

question whether the Russians have
already cut the Bagdad railway at
M0sul. In any case, the unexpected
appearance of this body of cavalry is
as great surprise as was the first
landing Of the Russian troops at Mar
seilles and is another instance of the
swift and stealthy movement of the
Russian forces in Asia Minor.
