STEEL Cd.
SELLS TO
WATER CD.

The East Chicago Chamber of Com
merce has scored another decided sue
cess in conserving the community well
fare by getting the East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor Water company and
the United States Steel company to-
gether in negotiations which make pos
sible the purchase of certain acreage
from the latter corporation for the
erection of the water company's hltra-
tion plant.
Word came to the directors of the
chamber that it had been impossible for
the water company to buy any property
for filtration plant purposes that was
at all suitable and that it looked II
the filtration plant was dependent upon
the sale on the part of the city OF
part of the Lake Front Park.
Realizing that any decrease in the
acreage of that park would be a muni-
cipal calamity. a committee was sent
to the United States Steel corporation
and an appeal made that they make
some sacrifice of personal interests if
need be and name a reasonable figure
for the land which the water company
wanted to buy
X. X. knapp, corporation counsel dp-
preciated the situation and promised to
recommend to his company that they
comply with the committees request
Later he advised that the company had
acted favorably on the matter and that
the chamber might so inform the water
company.
This morning the secretary received
a letter from c. L. Kirk, president of
the water company. thanking the or
ganization for their intercession in the
matter and advising that the steel COM
pany tract was the very ground that
the company preferred to build upon.
In his letter. Mr.. Kirk says: we took
this matter up through what we con-
sidered to be the best channel for
reaching the steel people and were ad-
vised that there was absolutely nothing
doing and it was then that we went to
the city with the proposition of secur-
ing a. part of the park property"

the United States in 1916 was 295.l09
met tons. valued at $l,445,GG2, an in.
crease compared with 1915 Of 1908

production in 1916 was the creates
recorded, exceeding that of 1914, the
prcyious high record, by 44,520 tons.
This increase in the production o.
fuel briquots in 1916 is attributed by
C. f. Lesher, of the United States
Geological Survey, Department OF inc
Interior, to the improvement in trado
conditions arising from the unusual
demand for coal, and to greater gen

briouets for use as household fuel

FALL OF BAGDAD MEANS BAD
BLOW TO GERMAN PLANS
Hone of Dominion in the East Shat
TERED BY Conquest Of City by Cen
eral Maudc's British Army.

Iondon. March i2--General freder-
eek Stanley Maude, in command Of the
entente forces in Mesopotamia, tele'
graphed yesterday the welcome news
for The British Of the occupation early
Yesterday Of the city Of Bagdad, the
chief Turkish city in Mosopotamia.
No details OF the capture have yet
becn received. General Maude's story
of the operations carrying events only
ND 70 Saturday morning when the
British after affecting a surprise
crossing Of the Diala and bridging the
Tigris. had driven the Turks back 70
within three miles Of Bagdad. 1t is
evident. however, that the Turks have
been unable TO offer any serious re-
sistance since the fall Of kut-el-
Amara. They were said to be hastily
summoning rcinforcements from ohter
tbeaters of the war where Turks were
engaged. but the distance to be cover
ed was SO great that additional forces
were unable to arrive in time to save
the ancient city, which, after Mecca
occupies first place in the Mohamme'
dan imagination.
The fall of Bagdad, besides ending
German hopes Of near eastern domin-
ion. based on Berlin Bagdad railway
will reyerbrate throughout the MO
hammcdan empires, and, it is said VIII
more than rehabilitate British pres
tipe in the far east, damaged by the
earlier loss of Kut-el-Amara.
Perhaps no more welcome news
could come at time when the British
public for the first time, owing to th'
snhmarine war, is beginning to fee
the effects Of the war in greatly re
duced food supply, besides BENT
thrown into a fit of depression by th'
revelations Of the Dardaneles report
Apparently the occupation was e1
feeted without resistance, and witt
only slight losses. Even If the lurk
rneceedcd in extricating all thel
forces, tho loss Of Bagdad is a grav
blow to them. Bagdad has been tn
base for all Turkish operations

Turks occupied about 10000 squar
miles Of Persian country, but with tn
Russians pressing them closely frof

to a speedy junction Of the British an
