THE Turkish War Office admitted .o-
night for the first time the capture by
the Russians of Trcbizond. the important
Turkish seaport on the Black Sea.
In a brief statement /, is declared that
the city was evacuated previously to
April ~" when a ~sanguinary battle was
fought at kovaua, a seaport "a little
more than six miles west of Trebizond.
It appears from the Turk sh report that
tie garrison managed Ito escape, a theory
which * supported by the fact that the
Russian war office has made no state
nsnt thus far as to any large number OF
prisoners being taken.
The lighting which eliminated in the

CHICAGO. April 81 -perceval GIh-

Meas with the Russian southern armies.
cables the following under date OF April
I2:
Cen. Broussilof, the newly appointed
commander of RussIa's southern armies.
is now engaged in "A tour of inspection
along the front extending from south
OF the Pinsk marshes to the Humanian
on,ier and the Bukowina. 1t is a
front which for the moment represents
the doldruns of war. where except for
occasional local skirmishes and the in
cessant activities of acrUIaines the
armies merely face each other across
ramparts Of barhed wire.
These wire barriers are so highly
developed that they have even inter-
rupted the steady tricklc of Austrian
deserters into tho Russian lines. The
frontier Of the armies is literally a wire
fence extending in "A wavcriDg line from
the Baltic to the Bukowina. Through
out the winter and the ensuing wet
weather this fence has been growing
until now in many places the %entangle-
ments take the form of areas a furlong

THE enemy on this front consists ex-
clusively of Austrians of all classes. a
fact which has been noted by the Rus
sian intelligence department. The chief
commands are exercised by German uifi-
GERS. .Austrians occupying the junior
ranks.
The period of inactivity coinciding
with the SHOWS and the subsequent
thaws has served the purpose of COM
pleting to the last detail the rcorgan-
iza,ion of the Russian forces. which had
