British Defeat TurksIn Mesopotamia the British have:

won another brilliant victory over theTurks, routing an Ottoman army afterforcing a crossing of the Shatt-el-Ahdem. some seventy miles north of.Bagdad, and capturing more than1,200 Turks. This apparently marks I

the clearing of the Turks from virtu-ally all the great triangle between theTigris and the Diala as far north asSamara.

In Palestine also another victoryhas been won by the Kritish nearGaza. Just to the south of this Medi-terranean coast city Turkish advancedpositions on a 6'i-mile front werecarried, making the capture of Gazaseem an early probability. The fire oftheir warships assisted the British inthe attack which was still proceedingon Tuesday last, the day the reportwas sent by the commander of theBritish forces in Kgypt.

Gen. Nivelle's Armies in NoDanger of Losing InitiativeParis. April 20. The uniform fail-

ure of the Germans to resist the steadyand methodical pressure of theFrench is the outstanding feature ofthe operations to date in the great of-fensive on the Aisne and in the Cham-pagne. It is clear that General Ni-velle's armies are in no danger oflosing the initiative and that graduallybut surely all the salients along theSoissons-Aubcrive front are beingcrushed.

The principal salient to which theenemy had clung formed an anglewhere the front running south fromSt. Quentin hinged to the line run-ning eastward toward Itheims. Caughtas in a vise by the troops advancingnortheast from I-afTaux and northwestfrom Vailly and Chavonne the anglecollapsed yesterday and Fort Condewas captured. Substantial progressalso was made in the center, groundbeing won east and west of Craonne,which is gradually being enveloped.

In the Champagne section on theright, strong positions still held bythe enemy are falling one by one. Allthis work could only have "been doneat a heavy cost in life under formerwar conditions. It is being carriedout with comparatively small lossnow. thanks to the new tactical meth-ods used by the French.
