BIG BRITISH DRIVE \
ON T|GR|S FRONT
AIMED AT BAGDAD

Forces in 1t, Says Ger
man Observer.

BERLIN. Feb. 20 Cby wireless to
sayville. Feb. 21).--An eyewitness
OF the military operations on the
Tigris front Is quoted by the over
sees News Agency as follows:
81 was in Kut-el-Amara a week
ago. The British for several months
have been making great preparations
in order to capture that town. For
this purpose they have brought up all
the forces available in India and in
Great Britain. They have construct
ed narrow guage railway as far as
their present positions and this work
has cost them the lives OF their most
efficient men.
"Tho British at present are a long
way from their aim. The Turks feel
sure the herolsm OF their troops will
bring about a second defeat 10 the
British similar to that at tho Darda-
| nelles.
"Tho position at Felahle Is COM
petely in Turkish hands. Following
their plan, the Turks evacuated parts
OF the trenches situated south OF Kut-
el-Amara on the right bank OF the IT,
girls. Kut-el-Amara itself and the
surrounding positions are In the
hands OF the Turks.
The British hope 10 take posses
sion OF Bagdad by capturing Kut-el-
Amara, but the future will prove that
this is a second mistake similar to the
first made by Gen. Towushend. who
was forced to surrender his British
torcc to the Turks at Kut-ei-Amara
last April"
