MORRIS AVENUE

Price changes were rather numerous yesterday, some up, others down.
 Green stuff from local fields is coming in more plentiful every day, which from now on will cut quite figure on quota tions on imported stuff, especially lettuce, as this is one of our earliest products in this section Lettuce on Morris avenue yesterday was quoted at $1.75 per hamper of three dozen, but from now on this commodity has the local price to compete with, which will vary as to supply and demand
 All feedstuff remain stiff as to price, with demand rather curtailed on account of the average consumer not being able to feed stock up to standard.
 Poultry and eggs remain the same It looks like hgh-priced eggs for the sum mer, as at each drop of a few cents the public from meat to eggs. This will keep eggs from cold storage all over the country and next winter will probably witness record egg prices, as it will be up to the farmer to produce and, as usual, he will be found wanting.

TURKS DEFEATED
IN BATTLE FOUGHT
LIKE OLDEN TIME
SPECTACULAR CHARGE OF INFAN-
TRY AND CAVALRY FEATURED
CAPTURE OF AHMED BEY'S ARMY
IN MES0P0TAMA.

| LONDON, Nov. General Maude's
victory at Ramadie in Mesopotamia,
was the result of battle of the old
picturesque style, before the war of
inaction" swept the spectacular ele-
ment out of modern warfare.
The movement which determined the
whole action was the sudden swinging
around of the British right until II
became the left, and the encircling
movement of the cavalry, which rob-
bed the Turkish garrison of its last
| free line of retreat The idea was adj
mirably executed, but even the staff
strategists of the British army scarce
ly anticipated the surrender of the
whole Turkish force without blow by
the waiting cavalry.
The British Eyewitness writing
from Ramadie, says in his account OF
the battle:
we captured Ramadie today, and
with it the whole Turkish garrison, in
Guiding its commander, Ahmed Bey,
and a number of field guns, pom-poms,
machine guns and rifles.
Our force moved in two columns
on the night of September 81 from an
advanced camp on the Euphrates, west
Of Feluja, one column on the right,
the other on the left, and at dawn they
attacked Mushaid Ridge, low line of
dunes running north and south from
nal.
"To clear the ridge and cross the
canal was our first objective. The
first knobs were quickly occupied. At
dawn, we bombarded the main crest
Of tie ridge, but the Turks had evac-
ua:ed it.
I'VE then changed our line of attack,
The right column was withdrawn, and
swinging round west behind the left
column became the left wing of the
force Our front, three and a half
miles il breadth, now lay between the
IHabhaniyah Canal on the right AMI
the Azizziyah Canal on the left, at 4
point nine miles from the EuphrateS
Cur cavalry made wide sweeping
movement across the desert, found the
rieht flank of the Turks and occupied
a line five miles west of Ramadie. By
this rove the Turks wer ecornered
Their only chance was to drive in de-
terinjned counter-attacks and to break
through before we drew the ring in
closer
'1he expected attack began after
three o'clock the next morning, when
the Turks tried to break through be-
tween the cavalry and the river The
action continued for two hours, till
dawn, when it degenerated into casual
snipjng The nearest Turkish dead
we're found within fifty yards of the
cavalry trenches.
Soon after daybreak the infantry
column took up the attack again ami
carried the last outlying defenses of
the Turks on our left An intense
bombardment was opened ON the Turk
ish trenches.
"Our line of cavalry, far away west,
soon saw the dark masses of the enc
my approaching, and apparently ready
for bloody battle. The Turkish guns
were silent, and while flags went up
all along the line 1t was a general
surrender. Ahmed Bey, the Turkish
commander who had been on the Eu-
pirates all through the campaign from
the Battle of Shaiba, in March, 1915,
and whose troops confronted us at
Nasaravah last summer and autumn,
came out and surrendered with his
whole force"
