week, may be considered the opening

and Mesopotamia
Since the British coup de main on GAIA
failed in June, the armies in Asia Minor
have been idle, due entirely to the furnace
heat that holds the country in an unbear-
able grasp from July until September
The weather is moderating now. Condi-
tons will be ideal for a resumption of the
offensive on both flanks Of the Turks by
the first of October.
Unquestionably a British effort will be
made in Mesopotamia and Palestine to
