Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "This photograph shows how the great war has spread over the earth. The figure on the right is Omar Agha, leader of the Persian Kurds, who is fighting with the Turks against the Russians. The young man is his brother. One of the bloodiest fields of the war is that in Turkey, just west of Persia. The Russians marched over the Caucasus mountains into Turkey and took several cities. They were met by Turkish armies they vanquished. Then Enver Pasha, the leader of the Young Turks and war minister, who has been the chief advocate of war, led his army against the Russians. A week ago reports came of a decisive victory by the Russians with the statement that the war minister had quit in disgust and returned to Constantinople. The Kurds, who have been helping the Turks, have the reputation of being fierce fighters. "
