The Chinese foreign office announc-

On March the Chinese cabinet

While great political importance is
attached to the capture Of Bagdad by
the British, the military results Of the
notable event are of even greater i'm
mediate interest, pointing to the pos
sibility of comparatively speedy link
ing up OF British and Russian move
ments against the Turks in this far
away field of wa.
The conditions, which General
Maude found on entering the city Of
the Caliphs and the status Of his sup
ply arrangement must in great meas
ure affect any plan for a further ad-
vance. Given the assurance OF ade-
Quate supplies and replenishf1ents, it
seems probable that he will not rest
content with holding Bagdad, d city
not well situated for defensive opera
tiOns, but will attempt further move

Russians Advancing.
The measure of Turkish resistance
along this line, q main. factor. to bN
considered, will be affected by the rate
CT progress of the Russian columns
moving toward Mosopotamia from
Persia. These columns operating from
Hamadan and Sakkiz are still far
short of the point where they stood
last spring, when the British were
halted at Kut-el-Amara, by General
Townsend's surrender. Bagdad, how
ever, is reported to be the point from
which the Turkish defense in Persia
was supplied, and it's capture may
weaken the Ottoman resistance, and
facilitate the Russian advance.
West Front Active.
Linking up the Russian and British
forces, therefore, at a point consid-
erably north of Bagdad, does not seem
an impossibility. The recuperative
powers of the Turks, repeatedly shown
in this war. has to be taken into con-
sideration in this connection.
On the Franco-Belgian front, virtual

active operation of more Importance
than a mere patrol encounter or
raid in force. Today's report OF in
tensive fighting now comes from Paris
