BRITISH MAKE
LARGE GAINS IN
AS|AT|C TURKEY


LONDON. Feb. 35.-The following
official communication dealing with
theoperations in Asiatic Turkey was
issued by the war office tonight
The southern portion cf the San
naivat position captured in the first
assault Thursday consisted of two
lines of trenches on a frontage OF
$50 yards and to a depth of 100 yards.
TIE Turks delivered six counter at
tacks but, although one of them was
temporarily successful. we secured
and consolidated all our gains
Thursday afternoon a further as
sault was launched against the Turk
ish first and second lines to the
north and our whole objective was
gained. Heavy Turkish counter at
tacks temporarily retarded our prog
ress, but we finally concentrated our
gains and at the end of the day the
first two lines Of trenches on line
of 1000 yards were firmly in our
hands.
These operations having drawn
the enemy's attention in the direction
Of Sannai,at. it appeared possible
that a crossing of the Tigris might
be effected at the Shumran bend.
Therefore Just before daybreak Fri
day, the first covering parties were
ferried across. followed at intervals
throughout the day by other parties.
"'rhe Turks offered stubborn re-
sistance to our progress but this re-
sistance failed to stop our advance.
Simultaneous with the crossing
of the river. the assault on the San
aiyat position was resumed The
third end fourth Turkish lines OF
trenches were captured on a front of
1850 Yards
1t is impossible yet to give a full
account of tn operationsa but the
prisoners taken on Friday in the
Shumran area numbered eleven Of
ficers and 533 men Five machine
euns also were captured
Two enemy aeroplanes were shot
down recently

Maru and viii soon ne put In opera
tion. Two hundred Japanese experts
accompanied the shipments in order to
set up the machinery and operate IL II
is hoped by the government that this
machinery will make Mexico indepen-
dent of other countries for ammunition.
II is understood the machinery was
purchased through efforts of Major
Carpio Of General Obregon's staff who

II Is believed that the government
shortly will purchase machinery for the

Decided Increases in the export
duties on crude oil and its products are
provided for in a decree outlined by

According to the decree the tax will

ton additional for each degree less
than "a.
\ tax of five per cent on the com

products which now pay no export tax
The present tax of sixty centavos a ton
on crude oil for Mexican consumption
IS abrogated. a tax of l20 centavos is
placed on all oil wasted at new wells
or not utilized from flowing wells. The
pr posed decree Is intended to become
effective July /. The present export
tax Is sixty centavos a ton without re-
