by Associated Press

London. Jan. l7.-Russian opera
tions in the Caucasus are growing ~
magnitude and importance. Judging
from indications furnished by official
reports. The Turkish official state
ment at Berlin, admits that after de.
laying for a week the advance OF
strong Russian forces. the Turks have
withdrawn their advanced pots seN.
eral points. The Russian assaults are
of most desperate character Mil
tary observers have been expecting
developments In this region. When
Grand Duke Nicholas was relieved OF
the command of the main Russian
armies he was sent TO take charge ~
the Caucasus, II was minated for
the purpose of giving additional atten
tion to the operations at that front
The move is doubtless in conjunc
ton with the British operations IN
nearby Mesopoamia and the Russian
activity now on In Persia.
The Grand Duke is considered by
heads of all nations at war to be one
of the greatest military geniuses li'
ing IF victory is possible, Nicholsa
will acieve II" said Gen. French when
he was informed of the new move.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DREAM
Evangelist Gibson Delivers Lecture
on Composite Image Seen by
King of Babylon

Elder F. E. Gibson last night de-
l;vered an address upon the second
,:,apter of the book of Daniel. Nebu-
chadnezzar in his dream saw heroic
mage with it's head of gold, breast
nd arms of silver, belly and thighs OF

iron and partly clay. A stone cut OUT
If the mountain without hands smltes
me image and pulverizes it, so that
i is waited away by the breeze. Inc
tone becames great mountain and
spreads over the earth.
The elder, on lines similar to those
used by other prophetic students, and
in accordance with the explanation OF
the dream given farther on in the BOOK,
of Daniel, where four universal en-
pires are portrayed by beasts, held
: that the image which appears to the
Babylonish king represented four uni
versal empires which would in turn
dominate the world. The first, rep
resented by the head of gold was the
2aby!onish empire, which was fol-
lowed by the arms and breast OF
silver (the Medo-Persian empire) the
Greek under Alexander the Great, rep
resented By the belly and thighs OF
brass, and the Roman by the legs OF
iron. The toes, composed Of iron and
clay strength and weakness), the
remnants of the realm of the Caesars
believed to represent the present
powers of the world, the speaker sug-
rcsted, bore the elements of strength
and weakness, and that the present
day conditions were ominous, being,
as he believed, signs of the appearance
of the stone cut of the mountain with
out hands representing Christianity
overspreading the earth,
