WASHINGTON. March 11.? The
American government having an
nounced it* decision to proceed
with the arming of merchantmen in
tending ro go to Europe in defence
of Germany's ruthless submarine cam
paign, no further details on the situ
ation were given out today.
Many interesting Questions relating
to the new policy remained un
answered. The only statement au
thorized was that nothing, will be
done by the government not in strict
accord with international law.
Because of reports of bad food con
ditions in Germany, the fall of Bag
dad to the Entente Allies and other
news looked upon as unfavorable to
the Central Powers, some officials
considered further peace suggestions
from Germany as among the possibili
ties.

cally recovered- from the cold which
kept him in bed most of last week re

I LONDON. Mar.lt.- 10 P. M.? I
{ General Fredrick Stanley Manila,
in command of the Entente forces i
in Mesopotamia, telegraphed to
day the wclcnmt' news for thp Rrit
Islt of thp occupation parly today
?of the city of Bagdad. thp chief
Turkish city in Mesopotamia. and ,
formerly the capital of thp empir? i
of <he t'aJIphs.
No dptails of !|ip capture havp
y ! lie p n received, (Jeneral !
j Maude's story of the operations
carrying events only up to Satur
day morning when the British, af |
i ter effecting a surprise crossing
of the Diala and bridging thp Ti
i gris. ha<| driven ihe Turks back
j to within three miles of Bagdad.
It is evidPiit, however, that thp
Turks have been unable to offpr
any serious resistance sincp th? :
fall of Kut-pl-Amara.
They were said to he hurriedly ]
summoning re- in force men is from i
other theatres of the war where
Turks were engaged, but the dis
tances to lie covered were so Rreat
i that additional forces were unable i
to arrtve in time to save the an
cient city which, after Mecca, or- ,
cupies first place in the JUohani
medan mind.
The fall (if Bagdad, besides end- i
ins; German hopes of near eastern
dominion, based on a Berlin-Bag
.dad Railway, will reverbrate |
throughout the Mohammedan em- ,
plres and. It is believed, will more
than rehabilitate British prestige
in the Far East. damaged by the
earlier loss of Kut-el-Amara.
Perhaps no more welcome news
could have comp.at. a time when
the British public for the first j
time, owng to the submarne war.
is beginning to feel the effects of
the war in a greatly reduced food
supply, besides being thrown into
depression by the revelations of ?
tlie Dardanelles report.. Further ;
news must be awaited before it is i
known whether General Maude
made important captures of Turk- j
ish troops or guns, cither before
or at Bagdad. Apparently the oc- |
cupation was effected without, re- ,
sistance and with only slight losses.
Even if the Turks succeeded In ex- ?
? tricating all their forces, the loss ?
of Bagdad is a grave blow to them.
Bagdad has been the base for all j
Turkish operations in Persia, t'p i
Lo within a few days the Turks oc- [
cupied about 30.000 square miles i
of Persian territory, but with, thp '
Russians prpssing thpm closely !
from Kirmanshah, as well as from
the direction of Erzerum, indica- i
lions point to a speedy junction ;
of the British and Russian forces i
which would soon compel the ;
Turkish evacuation of Persian ter- !
ritory.
LONDON, March 11 ("7:51 p. m.) -j
i Bagdad, the chief Turkish city in
Mesopotamia, and formerly the capital
of the Caliphs, has been captured by
