Turks have advanced to the main de- fenses of the Byitish. The main British army in Mesopotamia, according to these advices, is in retreat, 10,000 men having been left in Kut-el- Amara, to protect the position. Recent dispatches have indicated that the British expedition in Mesopotamia was confronted by superior Turkish forces. The British repulsed several as- saults on Kut-El-Amara. The rotreat from Kut-El-Amara—as- suming the correctness of the officlal ad- vices from Berlin—apparently means the abandonment by the British of any at- tempt, for the present, at least, of an of- fensive campalgn in Mesopotamia. It was in November, 1914, that an Anglo-Indlan force; starting from the Peralan gulg,, ing north and west over the desert, following the Tigris and Euphrates rivers wherever poasible. The fighting was slow, but the British pushed northward steadily until they reached Ctesiphon, eighteen miles below Bagdad. Here the Turks defeated them and they fell back om Kut-El- Amara, 106 miles southeast of Bagdad. EXTRA MEN MARKED OFF ON ROCK ISLAND ROAD FAIRBURY, Neb, Jan. 10.—(Special Telegram.)~Owing to impaired business on the Rock Island at this point, of- ficlals have made a sweeping reduction in train and enginemen. Trainmastor W. Cameron, dismissed ten brakemen from the extra board, due to the fact that there was not sufficlent business to fur- nish them with employment. Four chain gang freight crews on the Nebraska division were cut off, leaving only four chain gang crews to handle the through freight trains over this division. Early last fall the fall business required eleven crews, and a largke number of brakemen. The mechanical department officlals have also reduced the chain gang crews, and set back extra board engineers to passenger firemen. This has resulted in a great many changes in the assign- ment of engineers and firemen on the division. The young runners will fire the through passenger trains Nos, §, 6, 7 and § on this division. Local officlals are making extensive preparations for a special train of of- ficla's from Des Molines, who will investi- Kate conditions the Nebraska division Tuesday. General Mansger Easty and Mechanieal Superintendent L. Michardson will constitute part of the party. The division superintendent left today for Council Bluffs to join the spe- clal train and accompany it over the dtvision. ALLEGED WHITE SLAVER IS ADJUDGED INSANE ABERDEEN, §.

SERVICE SYSTEM IS FAVORED WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Major General Scott, chief of staff of the army, told the house military com- mittee at the army bill hearing to- d that in the event of war, the country must have an army of 1,000,- 000 to 2,000,000 men or “accept dis- aster. The chief of staft reiterated Secre- tary Garrison's view that if the con- tinental army plln}gllod-t.hore was no escape from compulsory service. Fivery country at war in Burope realized that, he sald, and he ox- pressed the'view that England might better have realized it sooner. Gneral Scott sald that under a service system, which laid the burden allke upon all men between 18 and 2l as a public duty, an adequate army could be main- tained for what now is pald for the small standing army, He thought the pay under such a system should be merely nominal. Of the efficlency of the regular army now, he said: “Our organizations, as far as they go, compare favorably with the troops of any foreign power." 8ohool training was desirable, but not practical, because of lack of control by the federal government, the general thought. He believed it would be neces- eary to provide additional military academies to train officers needed for the proposed mobile army of 500,000 men. The ‘plan of - the administration as a measure of self-defense, he said, was not proposed In the anticlpation of a war. He belleved organisation of the continental army would not interfere With recruiting for the natlonal guard be- cause the two forces would appeal to different classes of men. He added that tralning in the continentals would pro- duce better goldiers than the national guard system.
