London, Feb. 16-ReuterS PetrOgrad
pondent telegraphs that Erzer1m has been captured
by the Russians
London, Feb. 16.-While France and Flanders
are the fields of military activity that just
mand chief attention. the operations of the Russians
in their Caucasus campaign developing notable
points of interest
The newest development that comes from Petro-
grad is the of the capture of nine of the
forts of the Turkish stronghold of Erzerum the chief
city of Turkish Armenia.
Late last month the Turks were driven back to
the Erzerum defenses, and there have been reports
that $4,000 men locked up in the city with not
more than two weeks provisions. Reinforcements,
however, said to be on the way, may have arrived.
Military critics link the operations of the Rus
slams in this campaign and that in Persia with the
British struggle in Mesopotamia, pointing to pos
sibe conveyance of the allied forces.
The British Mesopotamian armies for their part
appear to be making little progress.
