The action of Kniperor Nicholas in transferring Ills cousin, Grand Duko Nicholas to the Caticas'au front Is perhaps the most important change of this nature made by any of the belligerent nations. The post to which tho Grand Duko is transferred Is of relative unimport ance. Tho Caucasian campaign pre sents only a minor aspect of the war. Tho forces engaged are not large.
