TURKS IN PERSIA

Russia Asks That Towns Captured
by Them Be Taken Over by
Native Government.


LONDON March 10. - The Daily
Chronicle says today that it is Vir-
tually certain the British troops now
are in Bagdad and that official con-
ffrmation of this may be expected at
any moment The Chronicles military
correspondent, upon whose lnforma :
ton the assertion apparently is based,
writes:
"one is entitled Ia assume that the
city was occupied without any serious
fighting. and we probably shall learn
that our cavalry dashed through II
and along the Tigris toward Sagdra."
In General Retreat.
The latest Russian dispatches re-
ceived here reporting the withdrawal
of the Turks from several far-apart
points in western Persia are regarded
as showing that the ottoman troops
now are in general retreat from the in
vaded territory toward their own bor-
der. pursued by Russians. whose gov
eminent is calling on Persia to reoc-
cupy the towns already evacuated
The Turkish retirement is attributed
here to the British success at kut-el-
Amara and the rapid advance toward
Ba gdad. which threatens the Turkish
lines of communicat ton with Persia.
The Times, describing the Turkish OPP
erations as being on the verge of col
lapse. nevertheless warns the people
against eXaggerating the prospects of
the Russo British activities.
OF the general operations against the
Turks in Asia the Times says that al
though the campaigns in Armenia. Per-
STA and Mesopotamia are all inter-
related. there is no early prospect of
bringing them in closer touch. Never
theleSs. the belief is expressed that
Gen. Maude'S successes have already
brilliantly restored British prestige in
the middle east.

Reports of Negotiations.

Reports of negotiations with both
companies were read to about ! 500 EN-

morning at the Lyceum Theater. The
session began at l O'Clock and con-
tinued until after o'clock this morn
ing. Many of the men entered the hall
before midnight. Getting in was a slow
process. Each mans paid-up union
card was examined carefully by one or
more of the dozen guards. During the
meeting one man was elected on the
ground that he WAS a spy.

they were told that the Capital Trac-

This company would be as false to

Denies Recognizing Union.

Mr.. King charges that the association
circulated a pamphlet to show that the
company made an agreement with
Division $50 of the association. wherea s
there was no such recognition of the
association" He adds:
Later they made a vain effort to
disrupt our relief association, which
has disbursed $4,000 in death benefits
and over 100000 in sick benefits since
its organization, in addition to con-
Quoting other activities for the mutual
benefit of its members.
The company is firm in the belief
that the Amalgamated Association pro-
notes disorder. disloyalty and lack of
discipline. to the great detriment of
the service the company is called upon
to furnish the public. and it confidently
counts upon the support and sympathy
of a liberty loving and fair-minded
