BRITISH OVERLOOK SUCCESS
IN OLD BABYLONIAN LAND

London, Deic. 29,--ln the excitement
Of army and navy actions nearer
home, the British public seems to have
overlooked the important success sc,
cured by the Anglo-Indian force ON the
Euphrates, which gives Britain sway
over part OF the ancient Babylonian
empire.
with the capture Of Basra and the
surrender Of Kurna, the British be-
come masters Of the Persian gulf and
the whole Of the Euphrates delta.
This region had been brought under
Germany's sphere Of influence and
the English believe that the Bagdad
railway was intended for strategical
ms well as commercial purposes. With
Il vassal Turkey, there would have
been a clear road from Vienna to the
gulf. If this road had been developed
and TeutOnic influences increased, the
gulf would have given Germany al
excellent base Of operations against
lrdia.
While the future Of Asia Minor Is
not yet settled, II is not likely that
britain will remove It's colors from
the ruins of the city Of Babylon.
