LONDON. Jan. 11.--Brltish forces
marching to the relief OF Kut-El-

the beleaguered garrison, according
to best information available here
today.
They must fight their way eastward
through a Turkish army believed 20

of the fate OF the Kut- Ell -Amara gar
rison has reached London since the
arrival of official dispatches covering
Saturday nights lighting and IL IL
believed possible the decisive battle
already has been fought.
Like Ladysmith Horror.
Not since the Beers surrounded q
British force at Ladysmith has a Brit
ish army faced a similar peril. For
that reason news of the progress OF
the relief expedition Is being awaited
with the greatest anxiety, IL not

The latest dispatches indicated that
the relief forces under General Ayl-
mer and General Campbell were at
grips with the Turks in the bend OF
the Itgrlb. east OF Kut-El- Amara.
W eather conditions, II was stated,
were impeding the British advance.
Though details are almost completely
lacking, II h believed here that the
Turks encircled the British right AT
ut-El-Amara, throwing strong force
between tho garrison and the river
TiGTis, ConstantiDople reported such an
enveloping movement in progress 9
