GRAPHIC ACCOUNT
OF BATTLE
(Ity Associated I’ross Correspondence)
LONDON. Jan. 30--Fighting the
Arabs and the Turks In the desert of
Mesopotamia, where in places even
camels cannot go; where after the Kn
phrates is left behind water is more
precious than powder and the tribes
men show no quarter to the wounded,
is described by Sergeant A. King
dom, of the Second Ifattaliou Norfolk
Regiment, in a letter to his mother
■ at Thetford.
, "We catne by ship (from India) up
the river fCuphrates," he writes, "and
disembarked on a lovely landing, up
to the waist in mud nnd water. Not
a tree in sigtit nor a blade of grass,
except on the river banks, which are
covered witli date palms. We ,
marched all the next day through
mud. Anything with wheels cannot ,
be taken, and packs of mules and cam- ,
els are no good, because their big ,
feet pick up so much sand.
"We lay on the wet mud of the
desert all night and moved away ear
ly again in the morning, to find the
enemy in position. They consisted
of Turks and Arabians, about 1,400
the actual flrer. They are a blood
thirsty lot, those Arabs, and when the
men lay wounded they will shoot you
'it a yard’s distance. A subadar of
the natives wns shot this way. On
he day nfter the battle we found that
the jackals had been at work.”

Col. O. T. Barrett, of Katalla, who
Is visiting in Seattle, says residents of £
the north are confident territory's i
shackles will soon he shaken off, no “
cording to the following Interview
published in the Times:
"One of Alaska's greatest resources,
is its extensive fields of high-grade
coal. Conservation, referred to by In
dignant Northerners as ‘confiscation,’
has prevented the operation of these
fields by individuals and as no steps
have been taken on the part of the
government to utilize the great wealth
buried in the coal beds, the policy
amounts to a virtual gag of one of the
country’s most promising industries.
“Tlie coming of the Alaska railroad -
will force a development of these I
fields. Kven in the construction of the #
road, fuel must be used and the re !:S
%
motest posihility of the opening of the #
Matanuska and Bering Kiver fields isj§:
welcomed by the men who realize #
their true value. That native coal
will be used in the operation of the :•:!
Alaska railroad after its completion
there is little doubt and people who
heretofore maintained a pessimistic
yards to our front. The attack was
pushed home under cover of our
mountain batteries; the field artillery
came up later. The artillery horses
were so completely knocked out that
they could not walk away from the
guns when they were unhooked. The
troops also were knocked out; and in
the meantime the enemy’s artillery
was having it all its own way.
"Our rifles were absolutely choked
inside with mud. and the bolt action
and sights had to be made to work
before an accurate fire could be ef
fected. Some of the men. rather than
drink the muddy slush from their
water bottles, stood and emptied it
in their bolt action, although water is
so scarce, and slush worth a gold piece
an ounce.
“I was more fortunate; my socks
had shrunk so small that 1 was better
able to march without one, so 1 cut
off the toe and put it over my bolt
action. So my rifle was fairly clean.
We were caked with clay from head
to foot. When the sun did come out
for a time and we saw a chance of
cracking it off, a thunder storm came
over and softened it into a sticky
paste.
"Our only transport is mules with
ammunition, and they frequently fall
down and have to be picked up. Any
how, the enemy were in their trench
es, with a decided advantage, and were
delivering a murderous fire. By a
supreme efTort after we got the ene
my’s range we kept our fire coolly
delivered, and within half an hour
the Turks were retiring, leaving the
Arabs to cover their retreat. They
remained another quarter of an hour,
and meanwhile we fixed our bayonets
for the grand finale—but evidently
they did not wish to prolong their
stay.
"Everybody, especially the Indians,
was anxious for a charge, but the
birds flew before we reached their
trenches. It is allright fighting the
Turks, but the Arabs use big muzzle
loading rifles with an enormous lead
bullet which will smash anything, and
not make a pretty little hole like the
Turks’ pointed bullets, which heal In
no time. The black powder from
the Arabs’ rifles also causes so much
smoke that It is Impossible to see

FIVE O’CLOCK TEAS
WITHIN SOUND OP GUNS
{By Associated Press Correspondence)
PAHIS, Jan. 31—St. Quentin, where
the British troops made a stand that
retarded the German advance and fa
cilitated Joffre's strategic retreat, has
been for nearly five months within
constant sound of the guns pounding
at. eacli other along the lines from
Itoye to Peronne, but, according to
news received by underground chan
nels, the town has otherwise exper
ienced hut little of the rigors of war.
Never has the city hall square been
so animated. The coming and going
of motor cars filled with officers is in
cessant as this is the headquarters of
some of the big guns of the German
army, who are comfortable lodged
in the elegant villas of the Champs
Elysees. Every afternoon officers
crowd the pastry-cooks establishments
of which the animation rivals the
most popular five o’clock teas of Par
is. Enormous quantities of tea choc
olate and cakes are requisitioned dai
ly, and among the habitues none have
a better appetite than Prince August
William, the Emperor’s fourth son,
wjio is always the center of the most
animated group.
The emperor himself made a short
visit to St. Quentin, lodging at the
hotel Charles Basquin, on the Champs
Elysees.
Tardier Asylum, the Farvacques Pal
ace, the Henri Martin Lyceum and
the girls’ lyceum are constantly filled
with German wounded, who are sent
to hospitals further in the rear as
fast as their condition permits.

“There are some of the finest beds
of anthracite coal in Alaska that man
has ever had an opportunity of min

tions are the equal it not superior to
the fatuous Pennsylvania fields. Both
the Matanuska and Bering Itiver de

minerals, in deposits extensive enough
to supply the needs of the United
States for many years to coine."

CHILDREN WASTEFUL j

f
(By Associated Press Correspondence) X
FRANKFORTON-MAIN, Jan. 30- i
The wasting of while bread by the X
German school children is the subject X
of a letter in the newspapers of the f
Rhine province from a teacher, who r
points out that it is the duty of the t
ph rents to bring this extravagance J
to an end and thus help the Father- J
land during its crisis j I
The writer says the children often X
leave their homes after a hearty X
breakfast and take a large package f
of bread and butter with them to ♦
school. He declares that the schol- -
ars are often unable to consume the
whole of the food, and thereupon throw
it away in the streets. He suggests
the official prohibition of the practice
of bringing food to school, and also the
sale of all bread except “war bread
made of rye and potatoes to children
for their immediate consumption. In
this way, he believes, a great wust
ago will he prevented, and at the same
time the authorities will he helped to
meet the marked shortage in wheat
flour. He concludes that the children
will also become more healthy if they
are forced to consume a proper break
fast before leaving for school and that
if they are kept from eating in school
hours they will he ready to eat at their
midday meal more of the vegetables -
they usually refuse and which are
so abundant in Germany. I
