Great War Story Cites Russian Capture Near Constantinople
A London to New York cable reports a bold Russo Turkish front move toward Constantinople. A flotilla of barges landed 12 000 Cossacks and 2 000 infantry on the Black Sea coast near Derkos, seizing the railway from Constantinople to Sofia and severing lines to open twenty roads toward the city.
