AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.—(Via London.) ~A British force which apparently was on the way to reinforce the British at Kut-El-Amar on the Tigris river, lost 8,000 men in an attack on Turkish posi- tions at Sheik Said, according to a semi-official statement received today The attack is de- clared to have been repulsed. The statement follows: “On the Irak front the enemy, whose strength is estimated at one division, which was stationed at Miam Alligarbi, in order to come to the rescue at Kut- El-Amar on January 6 and 7, under the protection of four gunboats, attacked our positions at Shelk Said, but was repulsed by our counter attack. ‘“We made some prisoners. The enemy losses are estimaled at 3,000 The enemy cavalry suffered especlally severe losses.” Although the Berlin report of the Brit- ish retreat in Mesopotamia appears to be at variance with the British announce- ment that the Turks are falling back after heavy fighting, Chamberlain's statement to the House of Commons does not disclose the point at which the en- | gagement referred to occurred.

Willlam L. Browning, a lawyer,| . WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Count | of Washington, D. C., brother of the | Von Bernstorff, the German ambas- late Henry M.

Mr. Browning presented a number of facts for the county attorney's consideration, after which Mr. Mag- ney said he would initiate an investi- dential. The ambassador expects to have only one more conference with the secretary and that inside of a week. This fact is taken to mean that only one more exchange between Wash- ington and Berlin ‘s necessary be- fore the long controversy is ended. American officlals reflected the view that & satisfactory settlement s in sight which will include indémnities for the 1156 American iives lost and a satisfactory expresaion of regret or disavowal.

A physiclan who was summoned sald the sculptor was suffering from gas poisoning. A gas jet in the studio was turned on. Bugattl was taken to Laennec hospital, where he | died. The work of Slgnor Bugattl, | regarded as one of the foremost living | sculptors, is represented in most of the galleries of Burope, When the war jopened he was modeling animals at the Zoological Gardens in Antwerp. He gave up this work and devoted himself to assisting the Belglan ambulance corps, When Antwerp was evacuated he went to Holland, thence to Italy, but as his class was not mobilized he came to Paris. Of late months the war seemed to have affected the sculptor profoundly. He was greatly depressed by the suffer- ings of the Belglans, for whom he had kreat admiration. He frequently pointed ‘lo the ribhon of the Legion of Honor in {his buttonhole and said “I ought to give it to some mutilated Helgian soldier."” | Signor Bugatti gave up some time ago |his work in the speclalty which won | his fame, saying: ‘““This is not the time {to make animals.” He devoted. himself itirely - to @ new interpretation of | Christ.
