BRITISH MAY FORCE
CHEAPER U. s. MEATS
Food Controllers Price Scale
Is Severe Blow to Ampri-
can Packers.
BY FLOYD l.. GIBBONS Copyright BY the
Chiclgo Tribune

BY FLOYD T. GIBBONS -CoDyIiyht Jy the
Chicago Tribune
l.oNDo", March ia big drop in
meat prices throughout the United
states can be expected II to-days ac-
ton os the British Food Controller Is
'arried out. Chicago meat packers and
American interests dominating the meat
production of the world will he the hard
est hi,. Under the sanction Of Lord Daven-
Port, the Food Controller OF London and
the Provincial producers exchanges
lave drawn list of maximum prices
for all kinds of meats 1t Is agreed
these prices will not be exceeded in the
United Kingdom.
An American citizen who has lived in
London FOR many years. representing
here the big Chicago packers. has cabled
the new price scale to his employers
The Chicago office has replied that the
present high prices OF cattle in the
United states would make it impossible
for the American packers to sell at the
prices quoted. The reply also stated
that the price scale would serve to drive
them from the market
Discussing the Food Controllers edict
the Chicago packers agent asserted it
practically would bar the American
meat products from all the allied coun-
tries unless an early drop in the present
prices OF llVe STOCK took place. lie $50
pointed out that the British control OF
the world shipping was such that all
American meat products. could not be
shipped to other parts OF the world ex-
cept in British ships. Permission to use
these. he thought would be unlikely II
low prices prevent the shipment of
American meat to any OF the allied
countries
This condition also applies to the Aus
tralian and the South American live
stock markets, which also are dominated
by the Chicago packing interests. This
situation. he continued. coupled with the
large amount of meat products lying on
the railroads and in warehouses in the
eastern part of the United States could
be interpreted only as a blow which will
bring the price Of meat within the reach
OF consumers
This is the first clash in the opsn
In the contest between the controlling
influences of British shipping and the
American meat interests. Reduced 10
American figures the new maximum
prices above which no meat products
can now be sold in the United Kingdom
have been established by the controller

TURKSHALTTO
DEFENDBAGDAD
Battle Between OttOmans and
British Rages on Dialah.
Six Miles From City.

LONDON. March 10 - The battle for
Bagdad has begun. The Turks have
stopped their retreat six miles from the
city and are making a stand to stop the
victorious advance of the British.
On Thursday morning the battle began
along the Dalah River, the last position
left to defend Bagdad Gen. Maude re-
ported that the Turks held the Dialah
line in strength. but that British infan-
try hurried up had begun the attack.
aided by gunboats on the Tigris
The British cavalry which rode in ad-
vance OF the main army up the east bank
Of the Tigris and the gunboats which
have swept Turkish craft up the river
came upon the Turks at the Dialah on
Wednesday evening. Word was sent
back at once and infantry forces were
rushed ahead by forced marches.
British Pursuit. Quick.
Gen. Maude's report shows how pre-
cpitate has been the 100 mile retreat OF
the Turks from -el-Amara and how
close the British pursuit. ctesiphon. the
ruined town abandoned by the Turks
without a fight, was very strongly fortI.
fed, and evidently the Moslems intended
to make there stand.
From Petrograd continues to come
news of success for the whole allied plan
for the conquest OF the Turkish Empire
in Asia, Grand Duke Nicholas is push
ing out from Bijar toward the NIesopo-
tamsn border, and his troops in Persia
have taken Senne and all the Turkish DO
sitions about It. Senne Is at the head
waters Of the Dialah. while the Turks in
Mesopotamia are standing at it's confiu-
ence with the T!gris, 200 miles away.
The activity In Armenia still con-
tlnues. indicating either that the Rus
slams there are making ready to move
or that they aim to keep as many Turks
as possible busy before their lines and
prevent their being sent to Mesopotamia
or Persia.
A brief Turkish report issued yester-
day mentions the situation before Bag
dad. saying that "a small force OF enc
my cavalry which attem pied to approach
our left wing was repulsed with heavy
losses" Doubtless this refers to the
first commissioners Of the advanced
cavalry when they reached the Dialah.
The OmciaI Reports.
The British and Russian statements
follow
British-General Maude telegrn phed
that on the evening or March ! our
gunboats and cavalry had discovered
the enemy holding the line Of the
Dialah River On the Sth our troops
were engaged with the enemy, who
held the above line In some strength.
The position evacuated without re-
sistance by the enemy at Ctesiphon
on the 9Th had been most carefully
prepared and it Is clear that he in
tended to hold it, Its evacuation was
probably due to the rapidity OF our
advance from Azlzie.
Russian--In the direction Of Bijar
(Persia) our troops gained possession
OF Turkish positions In the vicinity OF
Senne and also of the town OF Senne.
On the Black Sea, In the nelghbor-
hood Of the Bosporus, one of our sub
marines destroyed a large steamer
and two tugboats. which ran ashore
during our pursuit. Eight schooners
also were sunk.
