BAGDAD, Mesopotamia, Mar: 12 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).—The dust of the Tigris Valley was an important factor in the taking of Bagdad by tho British army. It was a dust storm so thick that one could not nee four fect in front of him that enabled the engineers to bridge the Diala River, where the Turka made thelr last stand The last battle before Bagdad is Ukely to become historic mainly on account of the fighting at tho cross. ing of the Diala, about eleven miles from Bagdad. It was necessary cross opposite the village of Dial. where the stream is about 120 yrds wide, in the face of an enemy shel- tered behind thick houses, wails and gardens, armed with machine guna and rifles. There were two days ot desperate fighting before the crossing was effected, The attack on the night of March 7 was checked, but the quality of cour- Ago shown has never been surpaased in war. Immediately the first pon- toon was lowered over tho ramp, the whole launching party was shot down in @ few seconds, It was bright moonlight and the Turks had concen- trated their machine guns in the houses on the opposite bank. A sec- ond pontoon reached the middle of the stream when a terrific fusillade was opened on it. The crew of five rowers and ten riflemen was killed and the boat floated down stream. A third boat got nearly across tho river, but was bombed and eunk. Ali tho crew was killed, but there was no holding back. The orders still held to secure the passage. Crew after crew pushed off to an obvious and certain death. The second and third groups of pontoon crews were exterminated in the same way, and thelr pontoons drifted out into the Tigris to float past the British camp in the daylight with the freight of dead. The pontoon parties were volunteers, so chosen that all battalions of tho brigade would share the honors of the night ‘Tho loss of all the available pontoons finally stopped the efforts to cross the river. On the second night the attempt was resumed with equal gallantry But this time the attack was preceded by a bombardment, Registering by artillery had been impossible on the first day in the speed of pursuit, It was the artillery barrage that finally secursd the troops thelr footing-—not the shells themselves, but the dust raised by them. The dust, fine parti- cles of dried Tigris mud, was so thick that it formed a curtain behind which ten boats were able to cross. to Afterwards, in the clear moonlight, when the guns were waiting for um- munition and the dust curtain had lifted, the conditions of the preceding night wero re-established, Succeeding crossing parties were exterminated and pontoons drifted away, but a footing had been secured. ‘The crew of one pontoon which lost its way in the dust cloud failed to make the bank in time, Directly the air cleared & machine gun was opened on them and the rowers were shot down and the pontoon drifted back to the shore. A sergeant called for volunteers to wet the wounded men out of the boat and a party of twelve men went over the river bank, Every man of them, 4u well as the crew of the boat, was killed. Hixty men had gained a foothold on the other bank of the Diala, They got together and started bombing along the bank, ‘They were soon heavily pressed by the Turks on both flanks, and found themselves between two clumps of woods. Here they dis- covered @ providential natural posi- tion, A break in the river levee had been repaired by a new levee built in @ half moon on the landward side. This tormed a perfect lunette, “The sixty soldiers, surrounded on all sides but the water, held it through the night, all the next day and the next night against repeated and deter- mined attacks, On the morning of the 10th, British troops upstream had begun to turn the Turkish flank, and a general re- tirement began morning the whole brigade had crossed and the fate of Bagdad was sealed, WOMAN HURT IN STRE.T.
