BAGDAD CAR i IiIjun.O
BY GEN. MAUOf'S
EXPEDITION
Leading City Of Mesopotamia In
Hands of British Forces
CHECK TO GERMANY IN NEAR EAST
Fall Of City May Result in Evacuation
of All Persian Territory by
the Turks.

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
capitulation of the city was made last
evening by the British official press
bureau. The statement was issued
on receipt of telegram from Gen
Maude, saying the British forces had
occupied Bagdad early Sunday morn
ing. No details Of the capture of the
city were contained in Gen Maude's
dispatch.
The fall of Bagdad, besides ending
German hopes of near eastern do
minion, based on a Berlin Bagdad
railway, will reverberate throughout
the Mohammedan empires, and, 1t Is
believed, will more than rehabilitate
British prestige in the far East. dam
aged by the earlier loss of kut-el-
Amara.
Apparently the occupation was eff
tected without resistance, and with
only slight losses. Even If the Turks
succeeded in extracting all their
forces the loss of Bagdad Is a grave
blow TO them. Bagdad has been the
base for all Turkish operations in
Persia. Up to within few days the
Turks occupied about 10000 square
miles of Persian territory, but with
the Russians pressing them closely
from Kermanshah, as we'll as from
the direction of Erzerum, indications
point to a speedy junction of the
British and Russian forces, which
would soon compel the Turkish evacu
alton of Persian territory.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.-As a result of the entry of the United States into the European war. tourist travel 10 Alaska during the summer months fell somewhat below the high records of previous years. This decrease was more than offset, however, by the in crease in the number of ordinary pas sengers. according to statistics just compiled by the Pacific Steamship Company.
 Officials of the eempanys traffic de- Dartment declare that the number of persons who travelled for purely busi- ness reasons had been unprecedented. This class includes commercial sales men and buyers and persons engag- cd in fishing. mining or other indust- r;es in Alaska. The number of resi- dent Alaskans who have made trips back and forth has also been heavy.
