TURKISH TROOPS FALL BACK
 AS BRITISH FORCES ADVANCE
Have Retired on DiaIah, About Ten1
 Miles From Bagdad.

London, Nov 26, s04 D. m.-Turk- &i troops resisting British advences ia Mesopolomatia are falling back, ac- cor6ing to an official despatch tonight reporting Turkish retirement on Di- nlah, ten miles from Bagdad.
 The announcement says.
 "A telegram from Sir John Eccles Nixon, commander of the British forces in Mesopotamia under date of tho o5th reports that General Towns hend's troops were in possession of the battlefield, while the Turks were reported to be retiring on Dialah, ten niles above Ctesirhon and the same distance from Bagdad. General rownshend was engaged in clearing tho field If wounded and prisoners.
 At first 1t was stated that eight hundred prisoners had been taken. It now appears that no less than 1,500 have been marched back to Laij
 "Oou wounded are reported to num- Der about 2,500. of whom 1900 were leaving that day by steamer Besra. The humber of killed has not yet been reported.
 aGenera! Nixon praises the handling If the troops by General Townshend tud the splendid spirit shown by them after their severe losses and hard ships from want of water and foodH
 A British official communication is- rue Wednesday said that after the .apture of Zeur and Ctesiphon the British forces under General Towns lend repulsct a Turkish counter-at- ack but were compelled to retire three 1T four miles from Ctesiphon in order lo obtain water The British losses younded The British captured 800 prisoners and large quantities of arms lf,d equipment. according to the state s.eut-

SECRETARY M'ADoos
 INTERNAL TAX PLAN
Endorsed by Senator Simmons, Chair
 man of Finance Committee.

Washington, Nov. 26.--Secretary Mc- Adoo's plan for raising by interpal tav- es the additional revenue needed by the government to meet a deficit and cover the initial expenses of army and navy increases, was endorsed today by Senator Simmons of North Carolina,l chairman of the finance committee, who had just reached Washington to prepare for consideration of revenue problems which his committee must aid in solving.
 While Senator Simmons was an- nouncing his views, Senator Smoot of Utah. one of the leading republican members of the finance committee, gave out a statement attacking Sec retary McAdoo's general financial statement issued yesterday. The Utah senator asserted that all of the sec retary's revenue estimates were too high and those for expenditures too low and that misleading bookkeeping changes had been resorted to.
 Differing from his fellow North Car olinian. Representative Kitchin, new majority leader of the house-Senator Simmons announced himself as an earnest advocate of administration de- fense and merchant marine legislation and expressed the conviction that the present income tax exemption was far too high and that gasoline and auto mobiles should share the burden of the war tax

AMERICAN TRANSATLANTIC
 co. SECURING AFFIDAVITS
To Prove That None but American
 Citizens Are Stockholders.

Washington. Nov. 26.-The state de- partment was advised today that the American transatlantic company of New York was securing affidavits from its various stockholders in an effort to prove that none but American cit iZens and American capital are inter ested in the corporations fleet of mer- chant ships. Several of these vessels, flying the American flag, have been seized by British cruisers on the ground of suspected German owner ship.
 Delivery of such af1davits to the state department probably will lead to diplomatic representations to Great Britain. Action might be taken, off, cials said, without waiting for the British prize courts to pass upon the cases of the ships now before them.
 The departments policy has been to allow ships owned by the company to go before British prize courts with out protest, So that the courts might determine whether German capital actually was interested in the com pany.
 Great Britain never has informed the United States of the nature of the evidence upon which it based it's charge of suspected German owner sship of the transatlantic company.
 It is said every effort is being made to gather the aff1davits quickly, but that some difficulty is being encoun- tered because the places of residence of the stockholders are widely sep arated
