ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
Interest attaches today to the
Mesopotamian war theatre, from
which the news of a brilliant
victory by the British was tele-
graphed yesterday. Several
thousand prisoners are already
in British hands as the result of
a sudden and well executed
stroke which resulted in the
surrounding of an entire Turk
ish army northwest of Bagdad.
While the hghting front in Fland-
ers apparently is witnessing the
preparation Of another offensive
stroke by Field Marshal Haig. which
the Germans are trying to anticipate
by counter attacks and retailatory
FIRE. the German crown princes army
again is attempting to harass the
French in the Verdun region. At
tackg were made last night both east
and west of the Meuse. The blows
were repulsed, Paris announces.
After yesterdays three futile at
tempts to drive the British back from
the high ground they occupy on both
sides of the Ypres -Menin road in
Flanders the Germans contented
themselves with keeping up a heavy
artillery fire during the night. Lon
don's official report today records
this hostile demonstration, but is
silent as to the British response.

with thousands of high explosive

Washington, Oct. 1.-The big
drive for the second issue of
Liberty Loan bonds began at
noon today throughout the
country with a multitude of ac-
tivities that will last four weeks.
The campaign is planned to

Cleveland, O.. Oct. 1.-wiIIiam q.
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury,
officially opened the second Liberty
loan campaign in Cleveland. today at
an outdoor mass meeting in the
Public Square. He appealed to ev-I
on the soil of the Free America to

chasing a Liberty bond.
Iris Speaker, outfielder of the
Cleveland baseball club, purchased
the first bond of the second Liberty
loan. Secretary McAdoo handed the
bond to Speaker and received his
check for $1,000.
Speaking of the financial problem
of the nation. Mr.. McAdoo said:

fourteen billions OF dollars. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000. 100000 will repre-

governments, which. in turn. will

ITO raise thirteen to fourteen
billions of dollars on or before June
80, 1913, by the sale of bonds in
recurring installments, seems to some
people an impossible task. 1t is a
stupendous undertaking. but it is
not impossible for America. Our re-
sources are adequate; our spirit is
indomitable; and our success is GER
tain. We have only to pull together
and we can do the job. Already we
have demonstrated what a united
people can do when love Of country
becomes supreme"

WANTS TO BE POSTMASTER
J. J. McTague an Applicant for Appointment as Post
 master at Wrangell

Ever since the election it has been rumored that J. ]. McTague would be a candidate for appoint ment to the position of postmast- CT at Wrangell. This report was confirmed when Mir. McTague started out himself Monday morning circulating petition for the appointment Mir. McTague left for Juneau on the City of Seattle Tuesday morning. It is presumed that his trip to Juneau is in the interest of his candidacy for the appointment
 The Sentinel reporter inter- viewed J. E. Worden. who has been postmaster at Wrangell for the past 15 years, as to whether he would be a candidate for re appointment Mir. Worden stated frankly that he would be willing to accept reappointment, but as his commission would not ex- pire until July g it seemed to him that any activity on his part in the interest of reappointment would be rather premature at the present time.
 It is also persistently rlunored that there will be another appli- cant in the field seeking to suc- ceed the present postmaster.
 The appointment of Wrangell's s next postmaster will, of course, be made by the President, but there is little doubt that whoever receives the appointment will have the endorsement of T. J. Donohue, Democratic National committeeman, of Valdez and also the endorsement of w. N. Casey, the Democratic divisional chairman, of Juneau
