t TMf; HV.E: OMAHA, NATt'lJDAY. M AlCril JO. 1!i;. 5 J RUSSIANS RAID . EAST PRUSSIA Cear'i Army Makei Hew Dash Along Baltic Sea and Captures City of Nemel. GERMANS ADVANCE IN POLAND PETROGRAD, March 19. (Via London) The campaign In the east has assumed a new aspect with the penetration of the northernmost point of east Prussia by Russian forces. This Invasion In the north In many wars parallels the advance into east Prussia ot two months ago, when the Russian Tenth army, which it was thought might flank the German positions near the Masurian lakes, was defeated and driven out On this occasion, however. Russian mili tary authorities say unanimously that the Invasion does not possess a like strategic significance. The Russian force his penetrated east Prussia to within twelve miles ot the Important seaport of Memel. (The official report from Berlin today, evidently bawd on latr Information, says that the Russian have entered Memel.) Germavn Attack Shift. Of equal Importance is the gene ral shift ing of directions of the German attack In Poland, accompanied by new concen tration of forces which ha now becomes apparent. Although fighting is still m progress to the north of Prsasnyss the Germans apparently have abandoned their effort .to break through the fortified line In the north and approach Warsaw from that direction. They are transferring troopa to the southern bank of the Vis tula, presumably in preparation for a resumption of the attack along the front t the west ot 'ttarsaw. near the Biura river, where for two months they vainly hammered the strong line ot Russian de fences which separates them from the Polish capital. Heavy and continued ar tillery fire Is now under way, marking the beginning of this fresh German move ment. Tnrklah Port f'aptnred. Occupation fcy the Russians of Ar chawa, a Turkish port on the Black Hea mar the Russian border through wh"lch the Turks have been receiving supplies and reinforcements, has caused an Im portant movement In the Caucasian campaign- The Russian victory, together with the continual pounding in the valley of the Teorok river, has caused the Turks tc beat a disorderly retreat toward Erxe rum, according to telegraphic reports from the Caucasus. The road between A r chawa and Choppo to tho eastward was defended strongly and the Turks were defeated only after a series of stubborn battles. The Russian advance created a panic throughout the Tchoruk valley and the Inhabitants fled to the mountains, abandoning their villages. Partial Victory In Arnitiilt. , In recent fighting In Russian Armenia partial victory over the Turks is claimed - here-, although mountain heights In the district ot Ardanuch are strongly fortified and are etill holding out The Russians re bombarding Turkish positions at Ardanuch. The fortifications were built and the defense' Is being conducted, It Is reported, by a German officer. A telegram from'Vrumlah, Northwest ers Persia, says that prior to the evacua tion of towns between Juflajand Tabrli, the Turks and Kurds who were retreating before the Russian advance, pillaged and burned the villages and put to death some of the inhabitants. At Salinas, Pag Vduk and fiarna orders are said to have been given by the Turkish commissioner for the destruction of the towns. All the Armenian Inhabitants of Antvat were . . collected and, according to this message, COO males were put to death tnd the women, after being compelled to embrace the Mohammedan faith, were driven into parties and sent to various Interior " towns.
