TURKS AIM STRONG
BLOW IN CAUCASUS,

London, Aug. 9.--The Turks have
delivered strong. blow against the
left wing armies of the Grand Duke
Nicholas in the Caucasus. The Rus
sian advance on the Bagdad Railway
has been thrown back and two impor-
tant cities Mush and Bitlis. milestones
of that advance, have been recaptured
by the Turks. The Russian war Of
fee admits the retreat before strong
Turkish pressure.
The extent OF this Turkish victory
can be estimated from the fact that
the Russians have been driven back
more than ninety miles across a for
bidding country. The Turkish victory
regains for them in large part control
of the section west of Lake Van, where
the Russians registered their flrst
great advances following the fall of
Erzerum. The entire Russian cam
paign on this wing has collapsed for
the time at least and all pressure on
Mosul the Turkish base on the Bag
dad Railway, has been relieved. TIE
Turkish success here follows recent
victories against the Russians operat-
ing in Persia during which Herman
shah was recaptured.
