of Monroe doctrine.
When Turkey joined the central pow
ers the British expeditionary forces
We're dispatched from Bombay to the
Persian gulf. They We're part of the
Ind an army. and were led by the COM
manderS of that army. They mads
their way up the gulf and into the val
ley of the Euphrates and the Tigris. 1t
was these Indian troops which captured
Basra. the scriptural garden of Eden,
the SPOT where Adam is said to have
been c~ea ted
1t is these Indian troops who have
won several victories over the Turks ia
Mesopotamia, and who. according to
the meager information received. are
continuing TO advance along the Tigris
and the Euphrates. Possibly because
this movement 8 directed from Bombay
SO little is known, even in London. OF
the actual military situation in Meso-
potamia. But. it has been made clear
that the Turks have been subjected to
offenS ve movements In their own terri
tory on the part OF the Indian troops.
The strategic purpose of this ma
neuyer is to obtain control of the Bag
dad railway and thus to defeat Ger
many's prospective expansion through
Asia Minor to the Persian gulf. The
Turks have managed to complete sew
eral sections of the Bagdad line. These
have means of getting their troops for
ward from Syria. and possibly the army
corps whose headquarters were at
Damascus is now somewhere along,
the upper Euphrates valley.
The Bagdad ra lway is more impor-
tant to Germany than the Suez canal. A
demonstration against Suez might.
however, be the means of strengthen
ing her claim to consideration in the
peace negotiations for the route to
Bagdad under the concessions granted
by the Ottoman government which had
been acquiesced in by France and En-
gland before the world war storm

Something of the inaccuracy of the

Castner's notes on this part Of the
trip. He says;
"The Voikmar, which our map
showed coming from the north. with
total length Of twenty miles. We had
ascended for nearly 100 miles--and it
came from the east. 1t is true that
mapmakers had indulged their fancy
and drawn many thousands of miles
of water courses. lakes. plains and
mountain ranges where they never ex-
listed. Such maps have caused many
brave men untold h .rdship and suffer

the valley. Later, writing a report,
the major said:
I'VE had but a handful of food left,
our bodies were covered with a few
rags while our cut and bleeding feet
made progress slow and painful. SO
equipped, we could never hope to over
come the high rough mountains which
seemed devoid of game. We had moth
ing save little pica-a small animal
living in the rocks, about the size Of
guinea pig-and scrap OF bacon.
Ahead of us was the unknown and, as
we were. the impossible. made more
confusing and mysterious by the lack
of confidence in the maps we carried.
Back down the Volkmar was the
travelling best suited to our feet and
there was e. dead mule and perhaps. IL
we were lucky, some Indian caches of
food"
Three days later. having had nothing to
eat save two small ducks, killed with
ammunition so badly deteriorated that 1t
sometimes failed to drive the shot from
the gun barrel. the three starving men
succeeded In killing wolf cub, the con-
sumption Of which gave them sufficient
strength for the construction Of a raft

knife. fallen logs were burned to the
right length to provide their rude craft.
Taking to the river. the raft was
wrecked three days later and the little
party escaped from the icy water without
firearms. foot coverings, coats or blan-
kets, all of which were lost.

While German imperial policy is IN

be remarked that British imperlal pol

Mohammedan troops We're brought

New Zealand, Australian and Can

British expeditionary army in Egypt
and this strengthens the imperial bond.

British statesmen are concerned
In the defense of Egypt India occu-
pies a subordinate position, but she is
given the principal role in defending
the overland route from Europe to her
shores The little strip of territory
which the British empire holds at Alden,
the entrance from the Indian ocean to
the Red sea, is administered as an in
tegral part of India. Though a British
regiment is stationed at that rocky
point. which the sun has burned black,
the administration is in the hands OF
officials from India.

to the policy of guarding the prospect
