Flanking Movement Succeeds ~ -;
Almost on the heels Of the des-
patches telling Of the arrival of a
large force of Cossacks in the
British camps in Mesopotamia,
came the announcement from
Gen. Sir Percy Lake, that Gen.
Sir George Gorringe had complet-
ed a flanking movement around
the swamps that covered the right
flank Of the Turks under Nur-ed-
din Bey, and had succeeded in ef-
fecting Judgement on the north
bank of the Tigris, across the
river from Kut-el-Amara and not
far from the historic liquorice
factory. Slki
Many Difficulties Overcome ~
1t is seldom, says the despatch,
that troops have had to combat
50 many difficulties. The country,
though for the most part rough
and sandy, is broken in places by
deep, tangled marshes, impassa-
bic for troops and equipment.
The weather has been hot, the
temperature ranging from ninety
to los in the shade at midday, and
the streams, dry at some seasons
of the year, are flooded.
Turks Face Destruction
The Turks are still occupying
positions further down the river,
along the Sanna-i-yat line, which
they have been holding for
months. Military experts and
observers here believe that it will
be impossible for them to remain
there long, unless they can crush
General Gorringe at once.
In the event that they are un-
able to do this, and to fight him
means that they would have the
forces under General Lake at
their back, they will, it is assert
ed, be compelled to attempt to
withdraw their lines from the Es
Sim positions, as we'll as from
those at Aanna-i-Yat, an opera
tion full of danger to their entire
army, if not certain to bring about
its destruction.

"Sfnce then they tell me that air
fighting has been daily matter with

innumerable,: and that the military au-

proved that at least this eight have

Important Routes All Over Colorado
to Be Opened for Motor Tourists.
Denver.-Improvem on public
highways in every part of Colorado
are being made under the supervision
of the State Highway Department.
Advertisements appeared for bids for
a $4,000 job on the Denver-Morrison
road which will complete the last mile
and quarter of the highway between
these two points. Under the plans
which have been drawn up. a big hill
on the Bancroft property not far from
Morrison will be cut down and other
portions of the road filled in. The
improvements will assure better
grade and a straight alignment, be-
sides doing away with a big reverse
curve in the road. Three concrete
bridges also will be built to complete
the highway.
On the Denver-Limon road, which
also is heavily travelled, contract
has been let for 400-foot bridge on
Bijou creek at Byers in Arapahoe
county which will cost about $4,000.
On the same road $4,000 contract
has been let for bridge on East Col
fax crossing ToHgate creek. Work
on it will be started in about two
weeks.
Work on the Wolf creek pass road,
between the towns of South Fork and
Pagosa Springs, is being rushed in
the effort to complete it by July II,
when big celebration is planned.
The highway is the only one to south
western Colorado and opens a new
section OF the state to motorists In
the same district work is being done
ON the highway between Pagosa
Springs and Chama, New Mexico. I.
j. Ehrhart, state highway commis-
sioner, has received word from the
state engineer Of New Mexico that
the authorities of that state have ap-
propriated money to improve the
road from :Chama to Santa Fe. so that
when the work Is completed there
will be an excellent road from points
in Colorado through to Santa Fe.
In Moffat county, $1,000 is being
spent improving the road between
Lraig and Meeker, strengthening the
alignment and building five bridges,
while in Garfield county advertise
ments have appeared for bids on a
Sc, 700 job finishing the road between
Rifle and Meeker, which will give a
good highway through to the county
line on the north.

Theater.

New York.-The coming of motion
pictures has resulted in an evolution
of the theatrical business to such an
extent, according to a court decision
announced here, that theater holding
continuous performances of high-grade
film pictures ard musical numbers
may be regarded as a first-class play
house in every respect The state
supreme court in the decision, denied
the application of the owners OF a
Broadway theater for an injunction re-
straining the leasing company from
operating continuous performances at
popular motion-picture prices. The
injunction was asked on the ground
that the theater was not operated by
the lessee as a tirst-class playhouse.

q fair trade was the verdict of q Scott

the machine. The woman testified
that Browc had given her the car, the
compensation being a kiss. The jury
was out for four hours before verdict
was finally agreed upon which gave
the machine to the woman.
