Gin That Region.

LONDON, Sept 19.--Baku, In Trans

British, who have withdrawn their
forces to Persia.
The evacuation was made necessary.
II IL stated. because Of the lack Of stead
mess on the part OF the Armenian troops
when they were attacked by the Turks

not be sufficiently effective to Justify the

the enemy could collect.

day the Turks again attacked and the
allies Of the British, the reports states,
again failed to cooperate. The result
was that the Royal warwickshire Regi-
ment had to cover a Russo Armenian
force lost heavily.
A small force of Russians arrived at
Baku on September 9 to reinforce the
British. This. with the inactivity Of the
enemy. tended to improve the morale Of
the forces allied with the British.

town. They induced the fleet In the

to the enemy.

here as they had been informed two
weeks ago that tho British force had
evacuated the city after wrecking the
munition plant and oil industry ma
