Where passengers had more than, one water bottle all but one were taken. No rubber heels were seized.

Before dawn on Sunday general advance on both banks was ordered and at 5;55 o'clock In the morn ing we occupied the railway station, the city being entered shortly afterward. Our cavalry pushed forward in pursuit and after slight resistance occupied Kasimain, capturing over 100 prisoners and four damaged airplanes.
 'Our gunboats now took up the pur- suit
 During this recent fighting fierce gales and blinding dust storms, the lack of water away from the river and the vigorous pursuit made the operations arduous.
 Since February 23 the Turks had been busy in the saving and removing every thing of value in Bagdad. A considerable amount of booty has nevertheless fallen into our hands, including large quanti- ties of equipment, arms and ammunition. Five hundred Turkish wounded also were abandoned by the enemy.
 "On the left bank of the Tigris be- tween POO and 300 Turkish dead were counted on Saturday and 300 prisoners were taken

There is every indication that the President is prepared to move again if it becomes apparent that the nation, facing the gravest international crisis of it's history, is about to have it's transportation facilities paralyzed. Although still confined to his bed by cold, the President heard reports during the day from Secretary Will son on the plans of the brotherhoods. There was no statement as to what action he was contemplating, but it is understood to be probable that his first step may be an appeal to the employers and employees to reach an agreement as patriotic duty.
 It became known during the day that on March 2 the brotherhood chiefs wrote to the President advising him of the meeting to be held with the railroad committee March 15, and assuring him that if the country should become involved in war they would cooperate with the government in every possible way.
 Pittsburg, March 13.-Members of the railroad brotherhoods in the Pitts burg district are said to have received today the formal order to strike on March IT unless otherwise notified" The circular, which also officially in- structs them as to their conduct dur ing the strike, is signed Committee: B. of L. E., B. of L. F., o. R. C., B. of R. T."
 The circular consists of seven num- bered paragraphs, the last reading as follows:
 "Your representatives have been unable to effect satisfactory settle ment, and strike under the laws of the respective organizations becomes effective March IT, 1917, 6 p. m., central time; z p. m., easterpa time, unless otherwise notified"
 The first paragraph directs that NO man in road service involved in the strike will perform any service after the hour Set to strike unless he has already begun a. trip and has actually left the terminal. If the train has left the ter minal, he will complete the trip and de- liver the engine and train at the end of run O. tie-up point, if tied up under the law, after which he will perform no further service until the close of the strike. Men in other than road service will leave the service at the appointed time. So far as your legal right to strike is concerned, there is no difference be- tween a mail train and a freight train. You have the same identical right to re- fuse to perform service on mail train as you have to refuse to perform service on a freight train.'
 All men on strike are ordered in the cir cular to keep away from railroad prop
