"Following the successful action fought near Dup on November 2, our troops advanced further up the Tigris and on November attacked the Turks, who were holding strongly en- trenched position covering Tekrit. Un- der the fire of our artillery our troops with great gailantry crossed 1900 yards of open country and the Indian Sikh and rifle regiments. pressing home the attack, captured the first two lines of the enemy trenches, inf1icting
 ! heavy casualties. These trenches were
 consolidated and Turkish counter aI-

In this attack our cavalry on the left flank took prominent part. British and Indian cavalry charged over the trenches and cut down a number of retreating Turks. The fighting continued until night fall, when the Turks retreated hur- riediy under cover of darkness, burn ing some of their stores and blowing up three ammunition dumps. We oc- cupied Tekrit on the morning of Mo- vember s.

AMERICAN GUNNER . .0N MERCHANT SHIP
 S|NKSASUbMAR|NE
This Is Report Made to the Navy Department on Re- turn of Vessel to
 Home Port

An Atlantic Port, November s.-In- formation that shell fired by an Ameri- can naval gunner sank Teutonic sub- marine in the Mediterranean is contained in report made to the navy depart ment by the officers of an American freight steamship which arrived here re- gently. It was learned today.
 The vessel of about 5000 tons gross, was returning from an Italian port in ballast after taking a cargo of war mu- nitions to Italy. The torpedo was dis covered approaching from the starboard side an hour before nightfall and the crew hurried to the port rail, arriving in time to see the torpedo emerge from under the ship and pass harmlessly on.
 The periscope of submarine appeared above the water, the U-boat captain ap- parently being unaware that the torpedo had gone under the freighter, because, with no cargo, she was riding high in the water. Three shells missed the sub marine, but the sixth shot struck 1t at the base of the periscope. There was an expIosion which shattered the subma- rine's shell and she sank with all on board.

VETS LEADING IN
 . OHIO, BUT DRYS ARE STILL HOPEFUL
On Face of Returns Only Partially Official Prohi- bitiOn Loses in State
 by 3643

Cincinnati, November S.--At the end of the second day following the pro- hibition election in Ohio, the result was still in doubt, but with complete returns from the SS counties, e of which had turned in official reports, anti-prohibitionists were leading by n majority of 3643 on the face of fhe returns. This figure, however, included a gain of 1892 "wet'' in Hamilton county officially allowed by the board of elections in that county, which had statc today. Presidential woman suf- fraEe was beaten by I36,419 votes, ac- cording to virtually complete returns,
 An announcement on the prohibition vote made by Secretary of State Fulton from figures compiled in his office gave the vets a majority of 5SS These figures included all except one county and the 1882 gained in the unofficial vote of Hamilton county.
 Only B of the county reports had be.n received by the secretary as official re. turns when his tabuiation was an- nounced The fact that none of the large counties of the state are repre-. scented in the e7 which have made off cial returns and that the "wets" have an apparent lead of 36ts. brought jubilation to the anti-prohibtionists but the 'drys'' are still claiming victory. Officials of the prohibition movement announced to. day that in case of final defeat they would try it again next year.
 Much of the joy expressed by the anti prohibitlonists was due to the acknowi- sdgment by the board Of elections of Hamilton county that to00o fewer "w.t' ssoras bad been included in the election night returns than should have been credited against prohibition This, with the 1892 allowed today by the board brought the Hamilton county vote to closer approximation of the normal nun Der cast in preceding wet and dry elec- tions, though still more than 1000 tho, sand behind the vote cast by the 'swets'' in 1915
 The returns from the c counties class fled as official were those which had the sanction of the local authorities and in most cases modified preceding re- turns from hose counties. The total un. official an sieia returns. including Hamilton fedrfs wet gains of l0cOl and 1892, xf3x.
