RUSSIANS ARE
CHASING TURKS
IN SNOWSTORM

Erzerum Forts Filled with Dead
Turks — Russians Capture
Many Motor Cars and
Field Quns.

 

(Special to The Daily News.)

Petrograd, Feb. 19--The Rus-
sians are pursuing the
Turks south of £rzerum in a
snowstorm. The full story of the
of the Turkish
fortress will make thrilling read-
ing.

When the Russians took pos-

session, the forts were filled with
Turkish dead. The nurfber of
guns counted to date exceeds two
hundred. In addition to large cap-
tures of field artillery, the Rus-
sians took possession of several
dozens of motor cars fitted with
wireless apparatus along with
pontoon bridge parts.
The fortress is situated one
mile above sea level and domin-
ates the Whole district. The Ras-
siang dragged their artillery up
on to the adjacent heights and
conducted a separate attack with
the bayonet.

The forts of Gudek and Del-
which are twenty miles
outside of Erzerum, were the first
to capitulate, opening up the way
for an attack upon the inner forts.
The Russians are now repairing
the damage done by their artil-
against any large
attempt to reeapture the position.
