TURKISH TRENCHES
TAKEN BY BRITISH
IN MESOPOTAMIA
Four Vicious Counter Attacks
Beaten Back - Turks
Lose Heavily

London, Jan. 26.-Eleven hundred
yards Of Turkish first line trenches
southwest OF Kut-el-Amara and por-
tons Of the Turkish second line
trenches in Mesopotamia have been
captured by the British forces in hard
fighting, in which the Turks suffered
heavy losses, according to a British
official communication issued tonight.
The communication says:
"By determined assault on Friday
morning. under the cover of an in
tense bombardment, We seized and con-
solidated LOO yards of the enemy's
first line breaches on the right bank
Of the Tigris, southwest of Kut-el-
Amara, and a cons iderable length of
the second line, sustaining only slight
losses.
THE Turkish forces west OF the Hal
River thereupon delivered four furious
counter attacks, the first and third
being broken up by our artillery and
machine gun fire. The second and
fourth attacks gained momentary sue
cess, but our troops, returning 10 the
offensive, regained much of the ground
from which they had been temporarily
dislodged. Throughout the day the
Turkish losses were extremely heavy
Serenity prisoners were taken"

MEXICANS FIRE
ON U. S. COWBOYS
Americans, Reinforced by
Troops, Retreat During
AlI-Day Clash

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 26.-According to
telephone adyices received here from
Ariyaca, Ariz., about forty miles south of
Tucson, fighting has been in progress
all day at a place called Stonehouse
between Mexican troopers and Ameri-
can cowboys.
When the cowboys attempted to
drive their cattle from the boundary
line the Mexieans opened fire. The re-
port said the Americans retreated and
were reinforced by part of Troop B,
Utah Cavalry, who rS':rEed the fire.
No American casualties had been re-
ported at O'clock this afternoon. IL
is not known whether the Mexicans
suffered losses. Further reinforcements
were sent from Arivaca late to-day.
FL Paso, Tex, Jan. 26.-Forces Of

quarters at MADEIRA and was preparing

Pershing should abandon field head
quarters at Colonia Dublan.

RANGERS CHEERED
BY DUBLIN PEOPLE
Duchess of COnnaughts Bat
talon Warmly Welcomed by
All Factions

Dublin. Ireland. Jan. 26.-Had any one
doubted the quality of the reception
LELAND would give to the Duchess OF
Connaught's Irish-Canadian Rangers,
those doubts were dispelled to-day
DESPITE the lev weather, the people OF
Dublin hung out their Union Jacks and
shivered cheerfully in the streets
waiting TO see the Rangers pass and TO
Give them the heartiest OF welcomes.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin struck the
keynote of the citv's reception when, IN
officially welcoming the regiment, he
said: ut shows what Irishmen can do"
Everywhere the Canadians met
with smiles and handshakes. Nowhere
was there a murmur Of discord.
The best Judges here think similar
reception awaits them throughout Ire
land. in cities as much opposed as Bel
fast and Cork. The tour is bound TO
improve relations between Ireland and
England.
"The Rangers will find welcome
everywhere" said John O'Connor, VI. p,
to-day. Every Irishman will open his
heart TO his fellow eountrymen from
overseas"
The non-political nature of the tour
and the composition of the battalion,
which is half Protestant and half Cath
Ollie. make a strong appeal TO the Irish
mind and give the opposing leaders OF
each section an opportunity of meet
ing on a common platform. a thing
seldom before possible and tending
greatly TO ease the tension.
When the men paraded this afternoon
to Phoenix Park they were reviewed by
Lord Wimborne.

Their ideas arc proclaimed by Maxim

No Reply from Gerard
as to American Prisoners

Washington, Jan. 26.-Ambassador
Gerard has not replied to the State
Departments inquiry as to whether
Americans were among the neutrals
taken TO Germany as prisoners of war
on the prize ship Yarrowdale on the
ground of having taken pay on armed
British merchantmen.
The State Department claims it does
not know whether those mentioned in
the German Admiralty statement as
prisoners include Americans or not.
Foreign dispatches declaring that
Germany has sent a formal note TO
Spain that merchant vessels carrying
artillery, even if for defensive pur-
poses, should be classed as war vessels.
are confirmed here officially. No such
note, it was stated, has been sent to
this government, but the statement of
il having been sent to Spain created
much interest, as possibly foreshadow-
ing similar action toward the United
States.

The warship then fired number Of
shells, most Of which exploded on
open ground. The total damage was
less than $500. There was no panic.

House Tacks ST 900, 200 for
Tampa Harbor to $780,
100000 Measure
fr,nm m. Tnhune nu-ssul


Washington, Jan. 26. In a wild ORGY
of pork psrceling, the House Of Repre-
sentatives to-day not only passed the
500 1000, 900 rivers and harbors bill. bu,
included bonus of nearly a million
dollars Of pie for Chairman Stephen N.
Sparkmsn. Of the House Rivers and
HarbOrs Committee.
Dir. Sparkman lives in Tampa. which
he has represented in the House for
twenty-five years continuously, during
which pork has flowed freely toward
Florida. He did not run for reelection
this fall, and so is retiring from Con.
gress on March 4.
In the bill passed to-day was an item
of SS60,OOO for the improvement o,
Tampa harbor, with which modest
stipend Mr.. Sparkman was content. bu.
the House wished to do him honor

for Tampa harbor TO S1,125,OO0, so as to
appropriate all the money needed 70

tive Treadwsy, of Massachusetts. Ic.
publican. Mr.. Treadway continued TIA,
he wished Mr.. Sparkman TO be assured
the project so vital 70 his home town
would not be neglected after he had
left Congress.
The House adopted the amendment
without a rollcall.
The rivers and harbors bill now goes
20 the Senate, where large increases
will be added by the Senate Commerce
Committee prior TO submitting it 10 the
tender axes of Senators Cummins and
Sherman, who are prepared with little
assistance to talk continuously until
the adjournment of Congress rather
than permit the passage Of the bill
