SOCIETIES TO REPLACE FRATs.
Suggestions Considered at Mckinley
Manual Training School Conference.

Suggestions for organizations to take
the place of fraternities and sorortties
which have been ordered disbanded by
the board of education, were discussed
at a conference held at the Mckinley
Manual Training School yesterday aft
ernoon. This conference was for the
purpose of considering what social or
ganizations might be formed at Tech.
Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry. a
member of the board OF education. was
one of those present. The main pur-
pose of the conference was to hear
what students themselves had to say
on the proposition, however. and a
large number of fraternity. sorority
and non-frat students took part in the
Suggestions were made for the for
nation of scientific. mathematical
cadet and other organizations. In the
frst group named might be included
societies devoted to botanical, zoolog-
ical. physical and chemical studies. The
development of the social groups will
be left to the students, however, rather
than to having the faculty take part
in the organization.

Campaign in Near East.

The rapid advance of the British ex-
peditionary force under Gen. Maude
up the Tigris after the capture of Kut-
El-Amara from the Turks has revived
interest in the various phases of the
1ong-halted campaign for the ancient
city of Bagdad, capital of the Caliphs
and famed in fable and story. Last
spring. before Gen. Townshend's force
a I kut was forced to surrender to the
Turks, Russian operations in Persia and
Armenia were counted upon to aid in
driving against the Ottoman armies
defending Bagdad. The three branches
of the drive were directed. respectively
from the south, by the British on the
Tigris; from the east, by the Russians
in Persia, and from the north, by Grand
Duke Nicholas forces in Turkish Ar
menia. A junction between the Tigris
forces and those in Persia were at one
time thought to be in prospect. and one
Russian cavalry detachment. indeed.
did succeed in crossing the mountains
of the Persian frontier. joining the
army of the British Gen. Gorringe be-
low Kut-El-Amara, after Townshends
surrender.

Fall of Kut flinders Plan.

The fall of Kut. however. really
spelled the collapse of the entente plan
If one there was, to effect the capture
ing operations
Turkish forces released by the ca
pitulation of Townshend in late April
reinforced the Turkish army contend
Ing against the Russian advance in
Persia. and Gen. Baratoff who had
penetrated to the vicinity of the Meso-
potamian border. from which Bagdad is
less than 100 miles distant, was obliged
to retire. Soon the Russians found
themselves back at Kirmanshah. some
100 miles eastward of the border, and
in the summer were driven from that
place, and later even from Hamadan
nearly fifty miles farther from the
frontier. The promised Russian ad-
ern Turkish Armenia. about $50 miles
north of Bagdad. also failed to ma
terialize. The fighting between Turks
and Russians in Persia since then has,
Tor the most part, been in the vicinity
of Hamadan and of Sultanabad, which
is still farther east.
Prospect of Cooperation.
Obviously. with the British still tied
fast at Kut. there could be small en-
couragement for operations looking to
British hands. however. and Gen.
Maude's forces. now within seventy-fve
miles of Bagdad on an air line. appar-
emily having thrown the Turkish forces
into at least temporary Decentralization,
the prospect of cooperative movements
again opens.
AS yet there have been no indications
of any contemplated move in force by
the Russians in either Persia or Ar
menia- 1t was about this time last
year, however. that their armies in Per-
sia were set in full motion, and it may
well be that they were awaiting this
year the outcome of the British opera
tions at Kut before starting a new Of
fensive campaign.
