That the returns for the Third Liberty Loan drive are not complete is evidenced by the large sums re- ceived by the First National bank yesterday from three places, two of which had already reported, and one from the upper Yukon country.

The new addition to the drive came from Eagle. whose total reached $2,500. This amount, added to that formerly reported. brings the grand total from the Fairbanks district up to $425.500. a truly remarkable sum.

 CONSTANTINOPLE, May 7.-Ofh. cial-British troops attacking on the eastern side of the River Jordan to. day were heavily repulsed by the Turkish forces. Turkish reserves ar. irving on the scene at the proper moment were hurled against the British, forcing them to retreat. The British suffered heavy losses.
 The Turkish forces are still pur. suing the fleeing British forces, cap. turing much booty. In their nasty retreat much artillery and con. siderable quantity of stores was abandoned by the British.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-05-13

It is believed that the above re- port is greatly exaggerated. since it is known that only a few strong de tachments of British troops had been left on the eastern side of the Jor- dan. The British war office last Saturday announced that the main body of British forces had been withdrawn across the Jordan to strengthen the lines, but that strong attachments had been left on the east bank. One or more of these attachments is believed to have come into contact with the main body of the Turks and forced to withdraw. No disaster is feared for the main British army in this region.
