BRITISH ARMY NOW
OCCUPYING RANADIE

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The occupation
of Ramadie has carried the British
Mesopotamian army some thirty miles
upstream from its previous outpost
iat Eeluja. This is the distance meas
ured as the crow flies, but is nearly
double that distance by the winding
Euprates. The British conveys,
though moving by day, pass each 9TH
er in the darkness of a London fog,
and the white dust which covers the
faces of the Arabian porters gives
them the ashen complexion of curcus
clowns
On the right bank of the Euphrates
the flat alluvial soil of the delta is
left behind and one comes to the first
low dunes and pebbly ridges, while
the roads are better and easier 1t
was on ground of this nature that the
battle of Made was fought
The British troops showed them
selves in excellent condition, after
their long march, being put through
a two days manoeuvre battle after a
might march. The heat, however, was
no longer oppressive. The nights are
now fresh and cold and the health of
the force is excellent.
When the British forces entered Ra-
made, they found many signs of the
confusion and surprise of the Turkish
forces. The British eye witness,
writing from Ramadie, says:
"a deep gully west of the town was
strewn with miscellaneous litter for
half a mile. including pack-saddles,
furniture, books, suit cases, and Office
paraphenalia, Forty horses and bag
gage animals have been collected ami
some 80 thirty camels.
