TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

With the exception of notable German
retirement on the Franco Belgian front
which, whether voluntary or forced. is
still continuing, the most interesting
military movements in progress are
those in western Persia and Mesopota-

border two columns of Russians are adj
vancing toward the line Of Turkish re-
treat, driving other Turkish forces before
them. One of these columns has cap

these Russian armies are threatening the
main Turkish forces in Mesopotamia, re-
treating under the British pressure from
Bagdad, with Mosul probably their OBJ
