Petrograd, Jan. 4.
Official.—Yhe fighting: at Sarykamysh in the Caucasus has now turned to our advantage.
We captured almost the whole of the Fiftieth Infantry including the Commander, fifteen officers of high rank, six mountain guns and fourteen' protected quick-firers, and also 5,000 Turks, forty officers and several surgeons.
We followed up our advantage and seized some of the enemy's positions and captured another three quick-firers and over 700 prisoners.
We routed a Turkish force elsewhere and took four mountain gus. Our troops are fighting under exceptional conditions as deep snow covers the ground.
