The Russian news is very good. In the first place,

Thursday's telegrams show that Erzingan, the base of the Turkish armies in the Caucasus and a place crammed with munitions of all kinds, has been taken by General Yudenitch, one of the lieutenants of the Grand Duke. The fall of this stronghold, distant as the crow flies only about a hundred miles from Trebizond, makes the Russians the masters of the whole of Armenia. In all probability we shall have now to expect, as we did in the case of Erzerum, a pause till the Russians have made good in their new territories.
