LONDON. March 12.-Enver Pasha,
who has just returned from Asia Minor
to Constantinople. has informed the
Turkish parliament that the military
situation is better than at any time
since Turkeys entrance into the war.
according to a Reuter- dispatch from
Constantinople by way Of Amsterdam.
Enver Pasha is quoted as saying:
I'VE and our allies await with calm
confidence any offensive which tho en-
emy may launch in the coming spring.
The chamber will pardon me II pre-
serve silence regarding the action
which we on our part propose to take.
The safety of the Turkish coast and
the Dardanelles is better assured than
ever before. On the Sinai front the sit
uation is unchanged. On the Mesopo-
tamian front we retired northward for
military reasons. For similar reasons
we have drawn in toward Kermanshah,
on the Persian front. Tho situation on
the Caucasus front is unchanged. To
sum up, the whole outlook justifies
confidence in the future. Thanks to
the Almighty. we shall obtain the final
victory"

Climax of Dramatic Campaign.

Bagdad's capture marks the climax
to one of the most dramatic and pic
turesque phases of the world war. The
links the present to a past so distant
that it is semi-fabulous. The known
history of Bagdad reaches back for
more than 1000 years to the shadowy
times of King Nebuchadnezzar of Ba-
bylon. quay built by the scriptural
monarch still existing submerged in
the Tigris. Within its precincts also
there still stands the tombs of the
Jewish phophets. Joshua, Ezra and
long after the Babylonian dynasty
had ceased to be more than a memory
Bagdad rose to splendor as the artistic,
literary. scientific and religious capital
of the world. The heart Of the great
Islamic empire of the caliphs for hun
out the world as "the glorious city"
and was the scene Of the fantastic ex-
ploits Of Haroun-al-Rashid. the poten-
tate whose magnificence is immortal
ized in the Arabian Nights.
In 500 B. G.. Basdad was credited
with a population of 100000 souls.
and was easily the first city in the
world in wealth and commerce. With
the fall of the caliphs before the Turk
ish sultans. the decline Of Bagdad COM
menced. 1t was successfully the prey
of Turks, Mongols. Tartars and Per-
slams, but it was not until 1888 that
the city became definitely a part Of the
Turkish empire. Its ancient import
ance was largely due to the fact that
1t stood at the center of the lines Of
communication between India and Per
sia and the west. but the opening Of
new routes by way of Trebizond and
through Armenia diverted its trade and
was vital factor in its decline.

Townshen! Met Disaster,

The British campaign against Bag
dad was opened early in 1915. when an
Anglo-Indian force under Maj. Gen.
Charles We're Ferrers Townshend was
landed at.the head of the Persian gulf
and moved rapidly up the Tigris. The
primary object of the expedition was
to secure the valuable oil wells in the
region at the mouth of the Tigris, but
the ultimate and far greater object was
the shattering of the great German
dream Of dominion in the near east.
The realization of this dream was
based on the construction of the Berlin
Constantinople- -Bagdad railway, and by
the seizure of Bagdad the British hoped
to prevent the completion of this road
at least by German hands. and strike q
shattering blow at German prestige in
that section of the world.
Mai. Gen. Frederick Stanley Maude
the conqueror Of Bagdad, is flfty-three
years old, and has had q distinguished
military career. He took part in the
the medal with clasp and the khedives
star. He served with distinction in the
South African war, where he won the
distinguished service order and the
queens medal, with six clasps.
Prior to taking command in Mesopo.
tamia he saw service in France. where
he was wounded, was mentioned in dis.
patches five times and created a COM
mander of the Bath. From 1901 to 1904
he was military secretary to the Gov.
ernor General of Canada. and later pri.
vate secretary to the secretary of state
for war.
