BRITISH DEFEATED
 IN MESOPOTAMIA
FORGE SENT AGAINST BAGDAD IS SAID TO HAVE ABANDONED
 THEIR POSITION.

London.-Immediat following the complete withdrawal of the Anglo French troops from the Gallipoli pc ninsula came the word of serious defeat for the British army in Meso- potamia. This force, sent against the Turkish city of Bagdad, is said to have abandoned it's perilous position at Kut-el-Amara and to be in retreat, with the Turkish army threatening to surround it.
 The news comes from Berlin, but in view of the knowledge that the Kut-et-Amara position was regarded as unsafe for some time, it is believed to be true
 Coincident with the story comes the naming of a new commander for the British army J. Austin Chamber lain, secretary for India, announced in the House of Commons that Sir Percy Lake had been appointed to succeed John Eccles Nixon to this command. It is said that i'll health has compelled General Nixon to give up his posi- tion.
 Lieut. Gen. Sir Percy Henry Noel Lake, who is 59 years old, and has had Q brilliant army career, has been chief of the foreign staff in India since 1892. He served in the Afghan war of 1878-1879 and was awarded medal, and was similarly honored for his services with the Soudan expedi- tion in 1885.
 Much of his subsequent service was in connection with the Canadian militia, for which he served some time as quartermaster, afterward as chief of the General Staff, and then as inspector general, leaving the last post to become a division commander in India in 1911.

attempts to escape from the camp and
 with the exception of threatened mutiny when for a few minutes the
 prisoners refused to respond to the parade call, there has been nothing to suggest serious trouble.
 The postoffice of the camp is the busiest and most popular'institution Of the place During the Christmas rush parcels were arriving at the rate of fifteen hundred daily These were op- ened in the presence of their recipi- ents and searched for forbidden mes sages or articles. The usual contra band is in the form of small bottles of brandy and rum, ten bottles Of which had been removed from packages he day of the visit. Many of the parcels contained small Christmas trees.
 The camp seems 10 be fortunate in the personnel of it's directing officers. Major Bulkeley is typical prison war den. He is humane man with de- cided sense of humor and his paternal attitude toward his charges meets with a ready response. He is a regular ar my officer who has seen much service and knows when to be firm. but he stated to the correspondent that he sel dom had occasion to exercise his du- ties of discipline. The prisoners are almost automatic in their observance of military etiquette.
 All sections of Germany are repre- scented in the camp and many units of the German army. As far as possible these units are kept together. There are a few sailors including several men from two submarine crews. Two fo these who did not look to be more than sixteen years old told the cores pendent that they were taken with their submarine some place in the North Sea A number of Germans who had homes in the United States are confined in the camp and others who had been residing in England Hardly a hut can be found that does not con tain at least one English-speaking oc- cupant.
