BRITISH ALLOW DESERT
TODEFEAT TURK ARMY
Sultan's Forces Permitted to Depart
From Suez Canal District With
out Being Harassed.


CAIRO, via London. March 20.-There
has been considerable criticism both
here and abroad against the non-in-
reference Of the British forces with
the departure of the Turks from the
Suez canal district. Why was no ef-
fort made to harass the retreating
enemy, to cut off his artillery or to
capture his munitions and supplies? is
the question frequently asked.
No official reply has been forthcom-
ing, but military men generally appear
satisfied with the way in which the
campaign was managed, pointing out
chiefly that pursuit of the Turks would
have cost the British forces heavily in
killed and wounded, while not serious
ly increasing the losses which the
Turks must suffer from lack of water
and provisions in recrossing the desert
From scouts and prisoners the Brit
ish strategists say they learned early
that the Turks were hoping they would
be pursued, and were waiting the COM
ing Of an attacking force in splendid
defensive positions, out of range of the
fire of warship guns. From these in
trenched positions they hoped to rout
the British forces and then advance
swiftly against a disorganized army on
the canal.
Attack Cleverly Executed.
The original Turkish attack on the
Suez district was cleverly planned
and brilliantly executed. The locality
attacked. serapeum, had been regarded
as the least likely to be selected, and
the defense force gathered there was
new brigade under command of the
younger brigadier on the canal
After q stubborn fight February
the main body Of the Turks retired
toward the line of hills which forms
the eastern horizon. But there were
still several hundred Turkish snipers
left behind In rifle pits and sheltered
spots near the canal bank. These
sharpshooters kept internationally busy
all night and possibly were holding
the ground for a fresh bridging at
tempt.
The Serapeum garrison for the time
being was entirely engaged in dealing
with the snipers. If the Turks were
to be cut off, or made to fight heavy
rear-guard action. the force to oppose
them would have had to circle the
district held by the snipers, crossing
the canal at Ismailia ferry and max
ing a long detour across the desert.
For this work cavalry would have
been essential, and the available force
deal with the enemy'S forces, which
included 1000 cavalry and camel
troops. besides infantry and artillery.
Turks Without Water.
The Turks waited for the expected
British attack as long as they dared,
lack of supplies finally compelling
them to drop back into the desert
Water was a long way behind them.
the artesan well bored during the
action yielding brackish water only.
The nearest supply was a pool sixty
feet wide and 200 feet long at Moyad-
harab. several miles In their rear.
The final defeat of the Turks, officers
say. was due to the desert. and 1t
seemed to the British leaders that they
were under no necessity of risking the
trials OF a desert march when it was
certain that the longer the enemy re-
manned where he was the more difficult
it would be for him to get out.

Carpenters, Painters, Lathers,
PIasterers and Sheet Metal
Workers Affected.
ACTION IN CHICAGO DUE
TO STRIKE OF FORMER
Work Ceases on More Than 1000
Structures in City-0utside Men
to Be Employed.

CHICAGO, April 16-Sixteen thou
sand union carpenters, striking for an
increase of cents an hour. were un-
der the ban Of a loskout order by
their former employers today. Painters,
fathers. plasterers and sheet metal
workers found themselves in similar
circumstances and enough allied trades
were affected to bring the total of Idle
men beyond $4,000.
The decision of sheet metal con-
tractors to Join the fight against the
unions was q blow to the latter. as
the labor leaders had hoped that en-
ployers in that line would try to per-
petuate conditions which, it was de-
clared. gave local concerns a monopoly
on such work in this city. Union
sheet metal shops here are said to have
paid a scale for in advance of those
in other cities.
Lose Chance for Contracts.
While the action Of the sheet metal
contractors probably will open the
gates for competition from outside
communities. the more immediate ef-
feet will be to save the local employ
ers the bonds they deposited to insure
cooperation with employers of other
trades. The metal men were told, more
over, that II they forfeited their bonds
they would also lose any chance for
contracts with members OF the allied
employers associations
The carpenters were on strike from
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon until
midnight. Then the lockout order
went into effect and today the men who
wished to bolt the strike order and
continued at work were told to carry
their grievances to the union officials.
When work ceased on approximately
1000 Of the $500 unfinished structures
in the city the contractors laid off all
hands except few men retained to
clean up odd jobs. Watchmen were en-
ployed.
This precaution was deemed particu-
larry necessary because of the decision
of most of the employers to bring non
union workmen into Chicago from
other cities.
Strange Painters to Be Hired.
The first action of this kind probably
will be taken by the contracting paint
ers and decorators, who have decided
to substitute strangers for 5000 union
brush wielders who were locked out
because 5000 of their number struck in
protest against the anti-strike agree
ment which all members of the Build
ing Construction Employers Associa-
ton were pledged to exact from all
building crafts
Violence already has been reported by
men interested In the painting and deco
rating trade. A big automobile carrying
men armed with brass knuckles and black
jacks appeared on the North Side, and
several non-union men were beaten,
according to reports.
This circumstance. and the fact that
pickets for the union were posted at all
downtown work today caused the employ
ers to plan an appeal to the police for
special protection.
