SEVERE REPULSE

NICHOLAS ARMY.
Desperate Attempt to Regain Lost
Positions Followed by Retreat. -

Bombarded at Night.

London.-The Russian army in Asia
Minor has suffered severe repulse
at the hands of the Turks. Constan-
tinople claims it; Petrograd admits it.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen has
apparently concentrated the main part
of his reputed army of 100000 Turks
against the center of Grand Duke
runs from Trebizond, on the Black
sea, to Bitlis, 1870 miles south. The
center has advanced about sixty miles
from Erzerum, captured February 10,
with Erzingan as it's objective.
1t is here that the Turks are max
ing their great fight.
The Turks have been massed on
the Kope mountains, northwest of Err
zerum, and on the 18th drove the
Russians from their positions on the
eastern slopes of this range. A series
of attempts of the Russians to regain
these positions have been repulsed, &C
cording to the Turkish reports, with
heavy losses to the grand duke.
This repulse was followed by an &C
ton in which the Turks took the Of
fensive. The battle was of most
desperate character and lasted the
whole day and the Petrograd official
report announces that at it's close the
Russians were compelled to retire.
French positions near Dead Man hill
on the Verdun front were bombardeC
violently Sunday night, but there was
no infantry attack. A German thrus
south of Roye was repulsed, the wal

The princeling of the comic opera

was a cheap trinket, plentifully
adorned with imitation jewels. But
the minister, being q yain man and
prosperous, had the false stones re-

order thereafter with proper pride.
Then after some years the princeling
came a-Visiting to the far country.
Naturally the minister came to pay
his respects. Almost at once the

MIner, to Have Marm MeaIa.

A large coal mining company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from zoe
to 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one Of the
lowest chambers of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served in an underground restaurant
at prices barely covering the cost Of
the food. It has been found that this
not only adds to the comfort OF the
men who had hitherto been compelled
to eat cold food, but it also adds to
their productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount of coal taken
out was noted the first month after the
electric range was installed.
