RUSSIANS DEFEAT TURKISH PLANS.

august 26, 12 20 p.m.

Reuter's correspondeat at Petrograd saya military ex peria point out that the re-capture of Mush puts the Rus- sians on the flank of the Turkish force at Bitlis, news of the re-occupation of which is confidently awaited. The victory of General Rayam in the direction of Mosul, on August 24, kicks on the head the Turkish plans around Lake huis, while in the Bamadan direction the Turks are in no better case, and the enemy advance in Persia 18 no longer regarded as practicable. All Turkish movements are paralysed, notably the grandiose scheme of taking Erzerum, notwithstanding the employment of availabin reinforcemente.
