Sen. PITTMAN
VISITS PIoChE

United States Senator Key Pitman
was visitor in Phoebe last Sunday
for a few hours while on his way to
Washington to be present at the
opening of the session of congress.
The object of his visit at this time
was for the purpose of looking after
his political fences. While here he
was the guest of Judge Horsey and
it was at the latter's home that the
political pow WOW was held.
The senator expressed regret that
he could OF stay longer; but a tele-
ram summoning him to Washington
made it necessary to cut his visit
short at this time. He feels con-
fident that he will win the Demo
cratic nomination for senator next
year against Patrick McCarran who
is starting vigorous campaign again

SENATOR CLARKE WILL SUPPORT
 SHIPPING BILL
Changes in Measure Cause
 Him to Alter His

Washington, Dec. A. Senator Clarke of Arkansas, leader in the re- volt in the last congress that caused the defeat of the administration ship purchase bill, today told his col leagues he would support the meas ure. He said he had changed his mind since he had learned that the new measure would differ consider ably from the one introduced last ses. sion.
 Senator Clarke asserted that he op- posed the bill last year because il was proposed as a commercial pro- position, with the government use ol the vessels as incidental. He said that he understands the new measure provides the vesselsl for naval auxili- aries, with the stipulation that they be leased to private companies for commercial use only when not needed by the navy.
 After the caucus this afternoon several senators held an informal conference on this subject. It was agreed that if the ship bill came to the senate with it's material provis. ions the same as those of the last congress, the same Democratic op. position would be found against 1t. Il was said the assurance concerning the character of the coming meas ure, however, led all those senators to believe they could give their COT. dial support.

 He jumped, saying he'd swim be- hind the ship to ward off torpedOes. Public opinion was forcing him to do it. he said. He made a clear dive right beneath the outstretched arms of MT. Bryan. And then he started to swim. It took the crew of a tug just ten minutes to fish the man out of the cold river They sent him to hospital.

 Turks.

London, Dec. 4.-General Town sends forces, that marched north ward toward Bagdad, are now retir- ing toward their base at Kut-el- Amara about 100 miles southeast of Bagdad, according to an official an nouncement of the Indian office this afternoon.
 The statement added:
 "Our casualties in the Ctezthon fighting totals 4,556. On Tuesday night, General Townsend fought rear guard action and was forced by superior Turkish troops to continue his retreat, losing 150 men,"
 All accounts on the fighting m Mesopotamia clearly indicates that without further endorsements to equal the overpowering odds against which they must struggle. the at tempt of the British troops to reach Bagdad is hopeless. A few weeks ago the city seemed almost within the British grasp; today the expedition is worse off than it was last Septem- Der.
 Large additions of Turkish forces have turned the British retirement in- to a rout.
