PETRoGRAD, March 10 (via Nord

lowed up their successes in Persia on
the entire front. In the Bidjary divi-
sion the Russians, pushing past
Senne, have taken the strongly for
titled Turkish positions at Assad
Abad
The Turks. hotly pressed, have
fallen back behind Hangover. Their
retreat toward Dovlet Abad also con-
tinues.

the German posts. The SCOUTS dis
tInguished themselves in several en-
gagements. Cannonadins on both
sides continues.
On the same front several aerial
combats have taken place, with for
tunate results for the Russians.
On the Riga German aviators ap-
peared while the Russians at the
same time were flying behind their
lines.
Along the southwest front on the
Stokhod, after several hours of heavy
artillery fire directed on the principal
Russian trenches and advance posts,
the Germans by a sudden assault oc-
cupied the trenches OF the Russian
advance guard. Russian reserves
were hurried to the point, and by
a flank attack regained the lost
trenches.
In the Svinukhi region the Germans,
suddenly opening fire against the Rus
sian trenches, in less than half an
hour exploded 100 mines and sucI
ceeded in retaking the trenches from
which the Russians had recently dis
lodged them. Almost Immediately, by
a counter attack. the Russian reserves
re-established their former lines.
Many German dead were found in
the trenches, and a great quantity of
Erenades and bombs were captured.
