Mishawaka was powerless to stop

LONDON March 10. - Rumors
! that Bagdad has fallen into the
hands of the British were in gen
eral circulation in military circles
today but early this forenoon the
war Office had given out no con-
firmation
The Daily Chronicle, without re-
vealing the source of its informa-
ton. declared it was virtually GER
tain" that British troops are now
in Bagdad and that official con
firmation may be expected at any
moment.
"One is entitled to assume that

severe Blow TO Turks.
Reports that the ancient city Of
the Arabian Nights tales had been
occupied by Gen. Maude's victor
ious army stirred London as has no
other event since the German-Amer-
lean break. The capture of Bag
dad. il was pointed out here, ends
Germany's dream Of a great empire
in the east and is the most severe
blow Turkish political influence has
suffered in Asia in many decades.
The last official dispatches from
Gen Maude made public at the war
office had placed British cavalry de-
tachments between 10 and IA miles
from Bagdad and pressing steadily
forward in pursuit of the fleeing
Turks. II was reported yesterday
that the Ottoman forces were mass
ing for a defense of the city and
the war Office authorized the state
ment that the Turks probably would
make a stand at the Dialah river,
six miles from the outskirts. The
war Office pointed out that if the
Turks were driven from this posi-
ton they probably would evacuate
Bagdad without a fight.
Turkish Public Prepared.
The latest official statement from
Constantinople reported the British
approach on Bagdad and apparently
was issued 10 pG/)sre the Turkish
public for the city'S surrender.
Gen. Maude's advance on Bag
dad actually began only a few weeks
ago. though he had been engaged
with the Turks around KVt-El-
Amara for several months.
The British began their first cam
paign against Bagdad Immediately
upon declaration of war with Turkey
and within Il days had captured
Barsa. so miles from the mouth OF
the Tigris on Sept. %, 1915, a

sity OF dlling up the ranks OF the
Indian troops in the Mesopotamian
campaign delayed the new British
campaign for several months. After

he encountered but little resistance,
principally because of the detection
OF many Arabian tribesmen who had
been fighting with the Turks and
pressed steadily up the Tigris.

PRESIDENT CALVIN ISSUES
LETTER OF APPRECIATION

To the Shippers and the Public:
am taking this means OF express
ing my appreciation to the shippers.
patrons OF the Union Pacific and Or
egon Short Line railroads for their
patriotic cooperation In the work Of
heavier car loading. This work we
all know is vital at this time as part
OF the great task of winning the war.
The cooperation of the Railway
Commissions in Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado, wyoming, Utah. Idaho and /
Montana, has been Of great value. II
take this means also of thanking 4
them for calling to the attention of
the shippers in their respective iuris-
dictions the urgent necessity of
heavier car loading, and the prompt |
loading and unloading as a measure
of war efficiency.
Out of these war conditions am
sure will come better understanding
and continued mutual cooperation
on the part of the railroads, the max
ers and administrators of the. law,
the shippers and the general public.
The effectiveness of this better un-
derstanding, which is already evident
to us all, is shown by the records of
the Union Pacific railroad
These rerords for the month Of
July. show an average increase in
the capacity loading of thirteen prin-
cipal commodities over the same
month in 1916 Of 1873 per cent. This
means release for other purposes of
IS per cent of the equipment used to
move these same commodities in
July 1916. The list OF commodities
includes corn, oats, barley, green
fruits, cement, brick, railroad ties,
mill products, sugar and coal.
In July 1916, the average loading
of corn on the Union Pacific railroad
was rs per cent of capacity In July
1917 this had ben increased to 8S
per cent OF capacity oats increased
from 81 per cent to SO per cent, sugar
from SO per cent to SO pr cent. ce-
ment, brick and lime from IS per
cent to 70 per cent.
The lowest loading of all is flour
and other mill products. In July
1916 this loading was to 48 per cent
of capacity. 1t was SO per cent in
July 1917. A big improvement can
be made in the loading Of mill pro-
ducts.
Bear in mind the fact that with
few exceptions freight cars can be
loaded. to ten per cent above marked
capacity.
If there is any way in which our
officers and employees can be of fur
Their aid to you in this work, please
feel at liberty to call on us.
