RUSSIA POTENTIAL
 IN BAGDAD CRISIS
Cars Column Plays Important
 Role in Campaign in Far East

Petrograd, March 16-The Rus
 sian troops in Persia are now so far
 advanced toward the Mesopotamian
 frontier that they may be said to be
 ir virtual cooperation with the Brit
 is1l at Kut-el Amara. where General
 Townsend's forces have been cooped
 up for several months, and the cam paign against Bagdad has become two fold, with the likelihood of the Rus I sians being as important a factor in l the Mesopotamian operation as their 1 allies.
 l Before the Russian penetration 1 through the mountain passes of the 1 Kermanshah region, it was generally 1 held that the chief aim of the Rus 1 sian operation on the extreme south crn front was, effectively and once for all to crush German influence and
 ambitions in Persia, and only the
 most visionary critics here conceived
 the possibility . of Russia's success fully traversing the Persian mountain provinces and assuming an important role in Mesopotamian affairs.
 The latest news, however, of the success of the Russians in working their way through the passes of the formidable range which acts as a natural boundary between Persia and Turkey shows that the Russians are in a position to convert their poter- tial threat against Mesopotamia into positive menace.
 Turkish Achievements Withdrawn.
 The Turkish achievements which were sent from Bagdad and Mosul by way of Suleumanieh and Selma 1o threaten the flank of the Russian forces at Kermanshah and make a further Russian advance dangerous have been compelled to withdraw on account of British pressure from tho south and Russian activity in the north, which some time ago resulted in the capture of Bitlis. The Russians therefore are now opposed only by frontal resistance, against which they have advanced through all but one of the difficult passes of the mountains separating them from Mesopotamia.
 The road from Kermanhah west ward sometimes narrowing to q mere mountain path, winds between the crests of the high ridges of the Persian mountain province of Luris- tan. Along this the Russians have already proceeded fifty miles in the face of great odds. A like distance along the same road, which, turning southward, runs between two moun- tain tributaries of the Dijala river to the Turkish border, stands between them and the last difficult pass near Khanikin.
 If Khanikin is once attained the l Russians will have free access to tho rear of the Turkish Bagdad army, 1 and to the British pressure from the 1 southeast upon Bagdad will be added | Russian pressure from the north. !

 Tim Cosgrove is well known in this, his native town. He is 27 years old and is the son of Police Officer and Mrs Michael J. COsgrove. After completing his schooling at St. Marys Parochial school he learned the brick mason and plasters' trade, working i at that until he joined the regular army. He first served in the coast artillery and after two years was l honorably discharged as first class 1 gunner. At the time he retired from i the service he was right in line for i promotion. Later, CosgroVe re- | enlisted. He was assigned to the Eighth regiment then in active ser ! vice in the Philippines. A strong, husky fellow, Cosgrove was detailed for duty in the machine gun com- pany, composed of the picked men in the regiment. While the local man was in this company it made an army record in unpacking, packing and get ting prepared TO march in a minute and a half. A few months ago, after two years service in the Islands, Cos grove was transferred back to "The States and was at once assigned to Company c of the Ninth Regiment on the border. It is probable that ere many more days elapse the local soldier will get a taste of the fighting there and his many friends in this city will anxiously scan the war news for any information. regarding the Ninth Regiment.
