BRITISH ROUTED BY TURKS.

London.-A British Mesopotamia
force, composed of troops transferred
from the Dardanelles, was repulsed by
Turkish troops in a s~anguinary battle
lasting six hours near Felahie, accord
ing to a Turkish headquarters report.
The statement adds that more than
5000 dead British were counted after
the battle.
The British defeat is the most disas-
trous since the beginning of the cam
paign to relieve Genera. Aylmer's for
ces besieged in Kut-el-Amara for more
than four months. The fighting oc-
Cured near Felahie, % miles east
of Kut-El-Amara in the bend of the
Tigris river.
Again attacking with liquid fire, the
legions of the Crown Prince were
hurled back in a resumption of the
heavy assault whose object is to crush
the northwestern defenses of Verdun.
A narrow sector of the French front
from a point northeast of Dead Mans
hill was under attack. Severe fight
ing is still in progress, but the German
thrust, on the face OF the official Paris
bulletins, apparently lacks the power
of the Saturday night offensive. The
French War Office announced the re-
pulse of all German attacks.
Infantry fighting on the east bank of
the Mouse came to an end. Only ar
tillery duels occurred on the Douau-
mont-Vaux front. The Germans made
some further progress in the Gaillette
woods and also repulsed three French
counter attacks near Pepper Heights
the German Wal Office announced.
In the way of corroboration, it is
stated that German naval forces de-
stroyed twenty-six floating mines on
that day.

London-German guns of all cali
bers shelled the French positions in
LIE Mort Homme sector northwest OF
Verdun and the second line defenses
Of the French east of the Mouse.
The terrific bombardment was SINH
lar to the artillery attacks which have
preceded all the great infantry move
ments of the Germans in their fifty
four days battle for the fortress.
Several days have elapsed since the
Germans last hurled big bodies OF in
fantry against the opposing lines, and
in the meantime they are reported to
have received reinforcements.
In the Argonne the French guns
have damaged German works in the
region of St. Hubert and have dis
persed German conveys near Pont-a-
Mousson.
In Belgium, south of Dixmude, an
artillery duel is in progress, and a
German ammunition depot has been
blown up
On the Russian front the Germans
made attacks between lakes Sventen
and llzen, but were repulsed with
heavy casualties.
In Galicia, southeast of Boutehache,
the Germans also took the offensive
but were beaten back. The Russians
announce the capture in the Stripa
region of a German position and the
putting down of counter-attacks
launched with the intention of recap
turing it.
A Rome official communication says
Italians have captured the important
crest of Lobbia Alta from the Aus
TRANS and consolidated the position.
The Russians report further sue
cesses against the Turks around Ell
zerum where the Turks, having been
on the offensive for six days, were re-
pulsed with heavy losses and are fall
ing back in disorder.
Nothing additional has come through
concerning the defeat of the Turks by
the British forces in Mesopotamia,
where the Turks were driven back
along the Tigris distances varying
from one and a half to three miles.
London regards this victory as a step
forward to the relief of the besieged
British force at Kut-el-Amara.

New State Prison Head.

Governor Fielder has announced
the appointment of Richard P. Hughes,
of Florence, as headkeeper of the
State prison, to succeed Thomas B..
Madden, deceased. The appointment
is ad interim. When the next Legis-
lature meets the new Governor will
nominate for the full term of five
years. The place pays $4,000 a year.
1t is expected that Mr.. Hughes will
name his wife as matron of the prison
to succeed Mrs. Madden. This place
carries an annual salary of $1,000.
The selection of Mr.. Hughes is a
personal appointment of the Cover
nor's and came as a surprise to the
rank and file of Democrats. Is was
the Governors intention to select a
man with wide experience in prison
work as Mr.. Madden's successor, but
because of the uncertainty of a full
term he was unable to get the man he
wanted.
Mr. Hughes is a foreman at the
Florence iron works. He is 40 years
old and has a wife and three children.
He will make his home in the house
provided by the State for the keeper.
He is a member of the Democratic
State Committee from Burlington
country, and as such has been close
politically and socially with the
Governor. He is also a member of the
county tax board Friends oil Mr..
Hughes asked hat he be given the
place, but the first Mr.. Hughes knew
of it was when he received the
Governors letter Tuesday asking
him if he would accept.
Senator Gaunt's Withdrawal.
The formal withdrawal Of Senator
Gaunt, of Gloucester county, from the
race for the Republican nomination for
Governor caused no great surprise. 1t
had rather been expected, although his
friends have claimed that if he remain
ed in he would cut a large and import
ant figure because of the backing of
the farmers of the State. He was chos-
en- President of the Senate in the clos
ing hours of the session, but says tina.
that action was not an impelling force
