Cavalry Enters Town Ninety
Miles from Bapdad.

London. Sept so. Austen Cham
berlain, Secretary Of State for India,
this evening gave on, additional de
tails Of the British success against the
Turks in Mesopotamis.
The previous report said that the
Ottoman forces were in full retreat
toward Bagdad, with the British in hot
pursuit. To-night's statement says the
British cavalry entered Kut-el-Amsra,
ninety miles southeast of Bagdad, on
the Tigris River, on Wednesday. The
town was found to be deserted and the
Turks in fight toward Bagdad by road
and river. Along the river gunboats
and steamers with an Indian brigade
aboard started in pursuit. An aero
plane dropped bombs on one OF the
Turkish steamers.
"The total prisoners captured aggre-
gate 1850" says the statement, "but
more are coming in. The Turkish
force. which is commanded by Nureddin
Pacha, ia estimated at some 5000 regu-
lar troops, who are assisted by con-
siderable number Of tribesmen.
The captured positions showed the
trenches had been constructed with re
markablc thoroughness, having com
munication trenches extending for
miles and a system of contact mines"

recruiting campaign.
Lord Kitchener. at the meeting e1-
pressed a preference for a continuation
Of the volunteer system, and the con-
ference suggested that voluntary re.

In pleading with the uncompromis-

government regarded the import taxes
as an integral part cf the budget.
which represented the unanimous Judg-
ment OF the united Cabinet. His own
free trade record. he remarked, was
above suspicion. and, he added, If he
considered the budget prejudicial to
the cause Of free trade he would not
subscribe to il.
These import taxes, the Premier
urged. were being imposed to regulate
foreign exchanges. Anything proposed
in these abnormal times. he declared,

imposed in time Of peace. The object
of the budget, he reminded his hearers,

slider the question.
