BAGDAD FALL IS
IMPORTANT FOR
EFFECT To HAVE

LONDON, March 12.-Bagdad, the
chief Turkish city in Mesopotamia, and
formerly the capital of the empire OF
the Caliphs, has been captured by the
British forces, announcement of the
capitclation of the city was made by
the British official press bureau. The
statement was issued on receipt of a
telegram from Gen. Maude saying the
British had completed occupation of
Bagdad early Sunday morning.
British newspapers commenting on
the fall of Bagdad today refer to the
capitulation of the Turkish city as OF
even greater significance for its effect
on Germany than for its value in re-
storing British prestige in the eyes OF
the Mohammedans. The capture of the
city is looked upon here as ending for
ever the German dream of world en-
pire, which had it's inception in the be-
ginning of the archaeological rail-
road, construction of which is COM
pletely blocked by British possession
OF its chief terminus. as well as by
British possession of the Persian
Gulf and the intervening country.
1t is believed here, provided General
Maude has assurance that adequate
supplies will reach him Immediately,
British forces in Mesopotamia will not
rest content with the capture of Bag
dad, but will push up the Tigris river,
which is navigable from Ragdad, two
hundred and fifty miles northward to
Mosul.
The measure of Turkish resistance
along this line, doubtless. will be af-
fected by the rate of advance main
tanned by the Russian columns coli
yerging upon the British from Persia,
The Russians, however, are now far
ahead of the points they reached last
spring, and it is anticipated the Turk
ing retreat will be continued until
the Russian flanking danger is averted.
The Turkish War Minister Enver
Fasha, in a formal statement issued a.
Constantinople early today, character
ICES the Ottoman retirement as a re
treat for strategic purposes, as was
likewise the Turkish withdrawal in
Persia.
Bonar Law, chancellor of the inn
perial exchequer, announced in the
house OF commons today that Gen.
Maude's victory was most complete,
the Turks escaping with only the bar
est military supplies. Three-fourths
c1 the Ottomon artillery, re announc-
ed had either been captured by the
British when they entered Bagdad. o.
had been thrown into the Tigris river
by the fleeing Turks.

ma increase Narr,s Strength.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Il
Naval officers have recommended that
the fighting strength of the navy be
brought up to that approved by Presi-
dent Wilson Immediately. This may
recessitate before calling into active
service the naval reserves, the releas-
ing of all officers now on shore duty,
and the assembling of the naval militia
may necessitate the immediate gradua :
ton of the first class cadets at the
annapolis Naval Academy to make up
the threatened shortage of officers.

.RED CROSS TO
 SERVE Al HOME
Will Look After Health Conditions In Vicinity of Military
 CantOnments

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 1S. Following it's policy of caring for the health not only of the soldiers and sailors of the United States, but as we'll that of the civil population, the American Red Cross has established a Bureau of Sanitary Service which will supplement and assist Federal, State, and local health authorities in meet ing sanitary emergencies created by the war. The work of the bureau will center in the civilian areas surround ing army cantonments.
 While sanitary control of National Army Cantonments, the National Guard Camps, and naval bases will be exercised by the military authori- ties, the districts immediately adjoin- ing these camps will be under no such jurisdiction. Yet the assembling of large bodies of troops will create new sanitary conditions. These must be met to safeguard the health of civili- ans as well as of soldiers.
 Whenever requested by State au- thorities, coupled with a recommenda- tion of the Public Health Service, the Red Cross will furnish any important military area with a sanitary unit. This will consist of the required mum Der of bacteriologists. supervising and subordinate sanitary inspectors, public health nurses and assistants. The Red Cross will be prepared to furnish this unit with equipment and maintenance, including laboratory equipment, trans portation, and such supplies as dis infectants and screening to enable the poor to carry out the requisite Sani- tary precautions in their homes.
 w. H. Frost, surgeon of the Public Health Service, has been assigned by the Surgeon-General at the request of the Red Cross War Council as direc- tor of the Bureau of Sanitary Service. Dr. Frost is one of the leaders of his profession, and has had wide eXpe- rience extending over thirteen years in the Public Health Service.
 He was in New Orleans during the yellow fever epidemic of 1905, and has studied poliomeylitis in Buffalo and Batavia, N. r., in Iowa, and in the New York epidemic of last year.
