The crystal of the snow;
Hath sent the hoary frost of heavens
The flowing waters sealed,
And laid silent loneliness
On hill and wood and field.
Ger white eXpanseS sparkling pure
The radiant mourns unfold;

Burn brighter through the cold.

And dearer sounds the angel-hymn

Importance of Achievement

While great political Importance is at
tached to the capture of Bagdad by the
British, the military results of the no.
table event are of even greater imme-
date interest, pointing to the possi-
bility of comparatively speedy link
ing up of British and Russian move
ments against the Turks in this far
away field of war.
The conditions which Gen. Maude
found upon entering the City of the
Caliphs and the status of his supply
arrangements must in great measure
affect any plans for further advance.

1t also is contended that Turkeys

remediably weakened and that the fal
OF ;Bagdad crowns the disasters which
have already befallen Ottoman arms in
other asiatic theaters of the war. The
morning papers have no details outside
OF the official report and there is little
speculation as to the military develop
ments that are likely to follow.
II Is pointed out, however. that Bag
dad will be a difficult city to hold un-
der assault, as it has neither natural
nor artificial defenses and lies in an
open plain. 1t is believed, however
that the Turks are so thoroughly routed
that there is no present cause for anX-
iety. although it is admitted that they
have shown in Armenia and elsewhere
considerable gift for bringing a vic
torious enemy to an eventual halt. Fur
ther developments are believed to de-
pend upon the speed and effectiveness
with which Anglo-Russian co-opera
ton can be established.
Victory Rejoices French.
PARIS. March 12.-The capture OF
Bagdad created all the more enthus-
iasm here by reason of the fact that il
optimistic of the military commenta
tors never imagined that the fall OF
the city would come SO soon, in view of
the length of the British line of COM
munication. WHICH seemed to call for
great prudence and caution.
The rapidity with which the city was
carried is interpreted in competent cir
cles as an Indication that the Turks are
in worse plight than was generally
believed. The political effect of the
