FALL OF TURKISH CITY is RE-
GARDED AS SEVERE BLOW TO
NEAR EASTERN DREAM OF
GERMAN NATION.
LITTLE RESISTANCE is
INDICATED BY REPORTS
Celebrated City Taken by British
Was Once Capital of Empire Of
the Caliphs-Turklsh Resist
ance Weak Since Kut-El-
Amara Fell.

London, March 13.-General Fred.
erick Stanley Maude. in command of
the Allied forces In Mesopotamia, has
telegraphed the welcome news Of the
occupation by the British Of the city
of Bagdad, the chief Turkish city of
Mesopotamia and formerly the capital
Of the empire of the caliphs.
No details Of the capture have yet
been received. General Maude's story

within three miles Of Bagdad. 1t is
evident, however, that the Turks have

ara.
The Ottomans were said to be hur-
riedly summoning reinfOrcements

VIII Rehabliitate Prestige.
The fall Of Bagdad, besides ending
German hopes Of near eastern dOmin-
ion, based on a Berlin-Bagdad rail-
way will reverberate throughout the
Mohammedan empires and, it is be-
lieved will more than rehabilitate Brit
ish prestige in the Far East, damaged
by the earlier loss of Kut-el-Amara.
Perhaps no more welcome news
could come at a time when the Brit
iSh public for the first time owing to
the submarine war is beginning to feel
the effects Of the war in a greatly
reduced food supply besides being
thrown into depression by the revela-
tons of the Dardanelles report. Fur
Their news must be awaited before it
is known whether General Maude
made important captures of Turkish
troops or guns, either before or at
Bagdad.
Losses Believed Slight.
Apparently the occupation was eff
fected without resistance and with
only slight losses. Even if the Turks
succeeded in extricating all their
forces, the loss of Bagdad is a grave
blow to them. Bagdad has been the
base for all Turkish operations in
Persia. Up to within a few days the
Turks occupied about 10000 square
miles of Persian territory, but with
the Russians pressing them closely
from Kirmanshah as well as from the
direction of Erzerum, indications
point to speedy junction Of the Brit
tsh and Russian forces which would
soon compel the Turkish evacuation
Of Persian territory. q

Senate BLOCKS
CALIFORNIA OIL
RELIEF MEASURE

Under Washington date line OF Sep
TENDER %, the San Francisco Chron,
:c!e prints the following as a special
despatch on the California Oil htlga-
ton situation:
California oil claimants ousted
from naval reserve No. by the Taft
withdrawal order in all probability
will not get justice at this session,
despite the positive promise at the
last session by the senate Democratic
steering committee that remedial leg
islation affecting their claims, which
have been pending since 1910, would
be considered by congress at this
session.
The Walsh mineral lands leasing
bill, containing the Phelan amend
ment providing for leases or titles to
the California claimants, has been on
the senate calendar for weeks.
Pttman urges Passage
Senator Pittman of Nevada wrote
the report on the bill, which strongly
urged that congress pass this meas
user, and particularly called attention
to the injustice done the claimants
IN reserve NO. &.
AN effort was made to call up the
bill for consideration last week, but
Senator Smoot of Utah objected to
consideration, and under the unanl-
NOUS consent rule the bill went over.
1T was the intention today of Sen.
ator Pittman to call the bill up
again, and there seemed to be good
prospects of its passage by the SEN
ate. Senator Husting of Wisconsin,
however, this morning served notice
on Pittman that he would object to
unanimous consent to consider the
bill and the measure therefore was
not called up. go.
EffeetuaIIy Blocks Measure
"Husting told Pittman that he
would object every time the bill came
up, and this announcement by the
Wisconsin senator probably will pre-
vent the bill. from getting before the
senate before adjournment. Pressed
today for his reasons for Directing to
the bill, Husting said he objected to
it and that was enough.
As Wisconsin can have no possible
interest in oil claims in Naval Re-
serve No. 2, the conclusion is obvious
that Hastings opposition must be in
spired by the navy department and
Secretary Daniels. Daniels has fought
giving any relief to the California
claimants on the ground that the
navy needs all the oil in Reserve No.
?.
Bill Killed for Session
At any rate the bill now appears
to be effectually killed for this ses.
sion and will have to go over until
the December session. 49,.
Senate leaders who are opposed to
the Phelan amendment give as an ex-
cuse today for Hastings opposition.
that there remains but little time be-
fore adjournment, and this time must
be used by congress in considering
other legislation. Representatives OF
the California oil interests here, for
mer Governor Gillett and Francis j.
Loomis, were today greatly disap.
pointed at the turn affairs have taken
in regard to the Walsh bill.

Four men were shot, two probably IA

of fight started when two of the men
took offense at an Italian flag hang
