sAlapAp CAPTURED SUNDAY.
Turks capitulate When Hard Pressed
Nv 9ri&ish

7 ondon. March 12.-Bagdad the chief
Turkish city in Mesopotamia, and FOR
merly the capital OF the empire OF the
caliphs, has been captured by the Brit
ish forces. Announcement of the ca
pitulation Of the city was made Sunday
evening by the British official press
bureau on receipt of telegram from
General Maude saying the British
forces had occupied Bagdad early Sun
day morning No details were con-
tanned In General Maude's dispatch.
During the day the following official
report was received concerning the OPP
erations against Bagdad, carrying them
up to Saturday morning, when the
Turks had been forced back to within
three miles west and southwest of the
city.
"Our forces engaged with the Turks
on the 0iala line the night Of the eighth
succeeded, despite the bright moon
light in effecting a surprise crossing
of the Diala and establishing a strong
post on the right bank thereof. Mean
while, on the morning Of the eighth,
the ,Tigris being bridsed at some dis
lance down stream, a British detach-
ment marched up the right bank and
found the enemy holding position
about six miles southwest of Bagdad.
Turks Driven Back.
1.-THE enemy was driven from this
position to another position two miles
in the rear. During the night Of the
ninth a passage of the Diala was
forced and our troops advanced some
four miles toward Bagdad.
During the ninth our forces on the
right bank (Tigris) drove the enemy
from his second position, bivouacking
on the ground gained. This advantage
notwithstanding binding dust storm
and a violent gale, was pressed on the
morning of the tenth, the Turks being
pushed back to within three miles west
and southwest of Bagdad."
Bagdad's capture marks the climax
to one of the most dramatic and pic
turesque phases Of the world war. The
city which has fallen to British arms
links the present to the past so dis
tant that it Is semi fabulous. The
known history of Bagdad reaches back
for more than 1000 years to the shad-
owy times Of King Nebuchadare OF
Babylon, a quay built by the scriptural
monarch still existing submerged in
the Tigris Within its precincts also
there still stand the tombs of the Jew
ish prophets Joshua, Ezra, and Ezekiel
and the well Of Daniel.

Liners May Arm Fore and Att.

New York. March II. Permission
for clearance for the French liner
Rochambeau from New York, the first
belligerent merchantmen to arrive in
an American harbor with guns
mounted fore and aft, today was
granted by the state department,
which ruled that the liner was IA
peaceful merchantmen entitled to take
adequate precautions against Illegal
attack.
Undoubtedly the Rochamheau ruling
Will lead to a general policy of arming
vessels to the fore. 1t was thought a..
the time that she had been sent into
port largely as a test of the policy of
this government, and now that wide
arming is allowed it is believed other
entente nations will follow suit.

The 10000 bonus vote offer for
clubs of six new subscriptions for
year or more each expires at 9 to-
night.
Until then few subscriptions would
make a big difference in the prospects
of some candidates. Two or three new

to place leaders for third or fourth
prizes in lead for the $1,O50 Stude-
baker, and a little activity now would
mean hundreds of dollars to either
one, in all probability.
A new contestant entering with two
big subscriptions-the SIS kind
would find her name second in the

between her own score and that OF
the leader for the big prize. She could
