tion has been passed by the board of

the Norwegian government to make
Fargo the headquarters of the vice
consul for this territory and request
ing that DR.. L. O. Fjelde of this city

tai city. The Turks are unquestion-
ably demoralized and are badly in
need of munitions.
The British are largely outnum-
bered, but the Ottomans are conduct
ing their retreat as they themselves
were the interiors. The entire
Mesopotamia campaign is permitting
the British to demonstrate the truth
of the German theory of warfare,
that inferiority in numbers must not
be accepted as necessary handicap.
The Germans at Constantinople
are undoubtedly debarred from Civ
ing any help to the Mesopotamia
troops or reinforcements would have
been dispatched long ago. Only
once, so far as is known, have the
Turks sent a fresh army into the
Mesopotamia campaign. That was
after the British had crossed into
the legendary site of the Garden of
Eden at Kurna, which is at the juno
tion of the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers
The Turks then attempted flank
attack from the west, but were driv-
en- off and eventually routed last
July, when their ammunition gave
out. AS long as shortage of ammu-
milton prevails in Turkey, the Ger
mans must thus continue powerless
to prevent the last and most valuable
of Teutonic colonial projects from
being held up for ransom at the
peace conference.
