This pipe line, which had been left to
natives to guard, had been cut early IN the
war. 1t was Of utmost importance to the
admiralty that the line should be restored
and preserved But this could be accom-
plished only by an expedition sufficiently
strong TO force the defence of the lower
Euphrates and occupy Basra, Kurna and
the oil region to the east in the Karun
Valley.
OF all these considerations it will be
perceived that only the last was Of imme-
date and assured value. 1t was essential
to protect the oil fields, and this could be
done only by occupying the Delta and hold
ing both Basra and the country about
Kurna and conceivably as far south as
Amara.

The Beginning.

If the Arabs did revolt, if the whole OF
the Mesopotamian region were conquered
Il was clear from the outset Great Britain
would score heavily against Turkey. But
if the Arabs did not rise at once, If the eX-
pedition failed, it was equally clear that
British prestige in the Far East would be
sbaken-that all thought Of instruction
would disappear among the Arabs ana
they would join with the Turks against
the infidel invader. who was not only IN
fdel but unsuccessful.
Like the Gallipoli venture, the Mesopo-
tamian campaign began prosperously. III
November, 1914. Basra was taken the
Delta county cleared, the safety OF the oil
fields assured. For this work a division
and a few gunboats proved adequate
Here there was a pause, punctuated by
Turkish offensive which failed In April

over the East cannot be exaggerated. Ger
man prestige will profit nightly. British
prestige In India, and more particularly in
Egypt, will correspondingly fall. II there
is any Arab activity it is likely to be IN
Egypt and in Tripol, and against, not on
behalf of, the British.
If one is interested in historical par
allels it is easy 10 find half dozen SINH
lar failures in each Of Britain's great
wars, and several successes which turned
out to be of no account. On the whole,
such adventures are seldom worth the cost
in men, munitions ard prestige. Above all,
they seem unwise when undertaken by
nation which has so far failed 70 complete
the reorganization of her armies to meet
the new conditions.
The Mesopotamian expedition appears
to have been better led than the Gallipoli
venture. but we know relatively little Of
the details. There remains also the grave
possibility that the Turks may yet bag one
or both the contingents. Such a success
would be bound to have very serious con-
sequences and might lead TO the eviction
Of the British from the Persian Gulf.

British TO set their faces against new
venture. British troops will doubtless be
left to hold the Delta and the oil fields,
but Egypt is likely to claim any surplus.
Causes Of the Failure.
The failure in Mesopotamia is, of course,
one of the inevitable incidents of the war.
Austrian invasion Of Serbia in 1914 ended
in a far more terrible disaster at the Jedar
and in 1915 about Valievo.
Yet there is no mstaking the fact that
the Mesopotamian, like the Gailipoli, fail
ure reveals the total lack of prior apprecia-
ton Of the magnitude Of the task under
taken and the relative paucity Of available
resources.
In Gallipoli the British began cam
paign for which they still lacked sufficient
troops. because the failure Of the feet
seemed to necessitate immediate land &C.
ton. But the fleet attack was undertaken
without regard for land aid, and failed
because there was lacking landing fore,
to complete its work.
In Mesopotamia what was at first q
mere campaign to protect oil wells anc

paper until it became an effort 70 take ar
inland city, nearly 500 miles from thu
British base and able to draw upon the
great military resources of Turkey fol
achievements.
The consequences of these two failures
are not considerable in a military way, be

attempts to attain what might have beer

Tho June Advance.

miles above Basra, IN late May
Tho June Advance.
In June the advance was pressed to
Amara. which is ninety miles north of
Kurna and 40 from Basra. Meantime the
Turks concentrated at Kut-el-Amara, lao
niles above Amara. Thereupon the British
Iexpedition, now largely reinforced, moved
M to Kut-el-Amara and on September %
defeated the Turks at that point.
The British were now $50 miles from
the sea by the river, which was the line
If TRANSPORT. They were 225 from Bagdad
Inv water and over 100 by road. They had
defeated all the Turkish forces which
they had encountered with little difficulty.
The lower half of Mesopotamia was solidly
occupied. the oil fields were safe The Arab
was. to be sure, still neutral, but this
neutrality showed signs OF turning toward
an alliance with the foes Of his master.
To press on to Bagdad was, Of course a
great temptation. The failure of the Gal
lipoli operation was already assured. The
defeats at Suvla Bay had made deep Inn
preston in London. If it could be aool-
ished by the announcement Of the capture
Of the City of the Caliphs the political
profit was obvious and the loss of prestige
in the Middle if not in the Near East IN
cident to the Dardanelles failure would
be made good.
Henceforth the Mesopotamian eXpedi-
ton takes on the character Of gambler S
throw but as such the possible gain Is
unmistakable.
From Kut-el-Amara the British pushed
on to Ctesiphon, eighteen miles from Bag
dad and a hundred miles further Into
