BAGDAD.

Ns4 since the &TcdI war O0SeAaA ~ sAASA S have been some sensational flashes over the wire: but none to compare with this in yesterdays news: Bagdad is in the hands of the British!
 x. Apart from any military value that may be reckoned in the taking of Bagdad, its political significance is beyond the bounds of imagination. Time alone will tell. what all this means. Certain 1t is. the fall of Bag- dad will prove greater blow to Ger many than the repulse from Paris or the failure at verdun.
 There will be . great rush on the libraries now by all students who will want to know every detail relative to. Bagdad famous in song and story. They will find that there where the Tigris and the Euphrates almost meet in happy wediock Bagdad sits as se- rene and compiacent as Omar the Tentmaker outdde the. city itself. Those who study it's location will sec that it commands the. caravan routes by Tadmor. the routes that traverse the desert to Dama5cus. They will sec 1t is the gateway by Hamadan to
 central Persia. This is the same Bagdad. ''the glorious city of the caliphs." It is the city of Al Rashid. the wonderful city of Islam.
 We'll might the world stand aghast at the fall of Bagdad. We'll might men throw up their hands in holy horror and say. ''It has come! The beginning of the end.", Even Mount Calvary itself is not safe from tho machinations of men. Where more than nineteen hundred years ago there took place . tragedy the world
 has nsSer forgotten today the claws of bloody war are digsing at the hill-
 side. The Christians are having their
 day. The Turks are routed. From
 where .sindbad the sailor once held
 forth. In Basra, to Kut-el. Amara,
 where less than year ago Townshend
 and his 10000 men were starved into defeat. General Maude's army has laid
 low the mighty warriors of the plain. He has pushed on from the head of
 the Rersian Gulf. past Ctesiphon and
 into the city of the One Thousand and One Nights. But in all the Arabian nights there was never a night like this, the one that marked the fall of Bagdad. Even the mys- terious carpet ceases to remain en- chanted.
 Bagdad was the base of supplies for all those Turks in Perssa west of Hamadan. It also offered first aid to those who had been driven from Kut. Those people will necessarily be at the mercy of the enemy if Rus sisn and British forces join at nat ural line connecting these places That may be done, or a union can
 be realized 300 miles to the north via Bitlis or sert. The advantage is all on the side of the British and Rus sian forces. The Turks for once in their career are like sindbad the sailor.-'in bad" N Who has not been to Bagdad. the ancient capital of Mesopotamla. whether in dreams or actuality?

ngton.-Although Villas op-
erations have injected confusing fac
tors into the situation in northern
Mexico and along the border, there is
every indication that the Administra-
tion is going forward with it's plans
for early withdrawal of Pershing's ex-
petition and rehabilitation Of the Ma
tional Guard.
Officials here have insisted that it
was impossible to set definite date
for the troop movements because Of
the uncertainty Of transportation ia
cilities and because tho situation at
the border and beyond constantly is
changing. 1t has been indicated
clearly, however, that unless there
was some unexpected development,
Pershings withdrawal and the return
Of the guardsmcn would be ordered
within few days.
paign apparently have not disturbed
this determination. but they have
somewhat bewildcred officials here as
to the real situation and in the end
may operate to hold up the orders
until more thorough investigation
has been made. Army officers contend
that the Pershing force would be in
better military position If with,
drawn and regrouped, but they are
anxious to locate the Villa forces
more definitely before there is any
American movement.
Border dispatches tranmitting ru.
mors that the guardsmen would be
ordered home with in five days were
heard by War Department officials
without comment. General Funston
has exercised wide discretion re-
ga:dng details Of troop disposition
/ ana it is assumed generally that the
exact date will depend largely on his
assessmen. Of conditions along the
border and in the territory where Villa
is operating.
