BRITISH DESTROY 1000 TURKS
CAPTURE BASE OF OPERATIONS
AT MAGHDABAH, EGYPT.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $500
Russian Troops.

London, Dec. 28.-The entire force
Of 1000 men was destroyed by the
British in their capture of the just
completed strong Turkish base of op-
erations at Maghdabah, Egypt, the
British war office announced.
One thousand three hundred and fiji
ty prisoners were taken, including As
officers, four machine guns, three
Krupp guns, several thousand rifles,
100000 rounds of small ammunition,
much gun ammunition, horses, camels,
telephone and other equipment.
Burn Turkish Camps.
Farther south, according to the re-
port, a British column advanced
through Militia pass to the eastern end
where a strong Turkish position was
destroyed. Farther on, the Turkish
camps at Sunderheitman and at Nickel
were burned.
Maghdabah is one of the strongest
positions remaining to the Musselmen
in Egypt. 1t has been an important
base of operations during the past sew
eral months, making place of safe re-
treat for Turkish forces fleeing after
forays into territory held by the Brit
ish.
Teutons Gain in Roumania.
In the European field of war the
Roumanian front continues the only
one notably active. In Northeastern
Wallachia, Teutons took the town of
Filipechti, 80 miles southwest of Braila
the Danube city which apparently is
their immediate objective. The cap
t,ro of $500 Russians Within the last
few days is reported.
Petrograd in it's statement admits
the evacuation of Filipechti by the
Russians.
