London.-A British army protecting
Alden. the "Gibraltar of the East' and
key TO the Suez Canal, was reported
by Berlin to be in great peri! from at
lacks by vastly supericT forces OF
Turks and Arabs.
The British are said to have been
drfven from all the vast territory held
by them in southern and southwestern
Arabia at the beginning of the war and
TO have fallen back to Alden for a
final stand after losing $4,000 men
killed and 10000 wounded.
The Germans say the British forces
are pehned up in Alden, near the en-
trance to the Red Sea. and if they fail
TO hold their position the approach to
the canal will pass from their hands.
The garrison is defending itself stub
bornly and only the support of the
warships. it is said, has saved it from
capture.
The Britioh official Press Bureau
gave out statement denying the
truth of German reports concerning
the situation at Alden.
The British army besieged at Kut-
'el-Amara by the Turks has driven
back the investing force. The Mos
lems have evacuated their trenches

1rawn to about a mile from the Brit
ish defenses.
