Large Town Captured. The British right wing last Friday took the large town of Shcraban. on th Hirer Dlal.i, elxty miles northeast of Bagdad and only thirty miles from the Persian border.

Then they pushed on beyond the town to a range of hills called Jebel Hamrln, and toward a town only twcBly nille t-outh of Khanlkin. Khanlkin Is midway between the Russians and British, and at Khanlkin the two retreatlnz Turkish armies are ex pected to meet. The KUhsIana are still held up at Pattak pass, forty miles from Khanlkin. The British centre has come In contact lth tbe Turkish army that retired up tbs Tigris and has now received reinforcements which Constantinople announced had been sent when Bagdad fell. The British have occupied two rich and productive areas here and are waiting only for sufficient tufplleu ami ammunition to reach them before attacking the Turks.

The British left, which had remained stationary until Bagdad fell, has driven the Turks back many miles up the valley of the Euphrates toward the city of Hit. on that river, more than 100 miles northwest of Bagdad. All Indications point to the proximity of decisive fighting In Mesopotamia and on the Persian frontier, in which the sUial blows will be dealt to the Turkish armies in that region. The fate of the two Turkish armies caught between the British and Russians seems sealed, and. unless the Turks oh the Tigris have been very heavily reenforced and reorganized their defeat should follow.

A Turkish statement issued Tuesday reports the repusc of a British Indian force at some point on the left or west-em bark of the Tigris which Is not named, with the capture of ISO prisoners, two machine guns, three rapid fire guns ft 77 99 Humphrey Seventy-seven For Grip.

BROOKLYN MILITIA MOBILIZE QUICKLY 17th and 23d Regiments and First Squadron Rush to the Colors. There was no lack of patriotic and quick response by the guardsmen of the Forty-seventh and Twenty-third regi- ments of infantry and the First Squad' ron of the First Regiment of Cavalry all Brooklyn outfits when President Wilson Issued the order directing them to mobilise. Hours before Major-Gen. O'Rysn received the official orders from Washington and transmitted them to the regimental headquarters the men of the two Infantry itglmcr.ts read the news In the papers and flocked to their armories by the hundreds.

The response at both armories was so gratifying that officers of the two regiments said they expected to have the mobilisation completed by noon to-day. Because of a mistake In the tranamls-I sion of despatches from Washington 'there was confusion In the mobilising of the First Squadron of the First Cavalry, which includes Troops A and of Brooklyn, Troop of Albany and Troop of Syracuse. The trcApers of the J-'lret Cavalry were led to believe the orders called for the mustering In of Squadron A of Manhattan, which has been home from the border for more than three months. The Brooklyn contingent of the cav alry outfit returned to their home borough less than two weeks ago. Major Mcl-eer, commander of the squadron however, remained, with many of his of ficers, in the armor)' of the Forty-seventh Ilegitnent until 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when he received orders for mobilization of his command.

The Twenty-third Regiment has about men and 60 officers and Is fairly well equipped for any duty. More than one-half of the regiment reported themselves ready for duty last night. Col. Frank Norton, the commander, had no doubt that his "boys will respond to their full strerurth before the ringing of church bells to-day." The condition obtaining In the Forty-ceventh Regiment Is much different. It Is not up to its war strength, having about only STiO men, and to add to this handicap Col Jannicky has tendered his resignation as Colonel.

His successor has not yet been named. Harry B. Baldwin Is In rharge of the mobilisation of the Williamsburg guardsmen. "We are Mill under the Federal oath," raid Col.

GETS THANKS FOR FOOD Jayor of Communes Tell American His Committee's Work Saved People.

fpaal Cablr t)t'pttt. to Tins Paris, March 31. Herbert C. Hoover, i chairman of the American Commission for Belief In Belgium, visited yesterday the liberated district of northern France as a guest of the French Government to Investigate relief conditions there. Many liberated Frenchmen, Including thirty mayors from evacuated communes, expressed In the most touching manner the gratitude of the French population of districts given up by the Germans for the preservation of their lives during the last two and a half years.

The meeting took place at Noyon. The majors assured Mr. Hoover that their lives and those of their children had been preserved by the slender ration of bread received from the relief commission. The scene was most affecting as the aged, grlszled men assembled In the' ruins of the old Town Hall. Many of them wepU Senator Noel, Mayor of Noyon, dwelt upon the service of America In the preservation of France.

Praises Mayors of Coasmaaes. In his reply Mr. Hoover paid a tlrbute to the French Government, which had supplied the means for relief, and to the courage and devotion of the mayors, all of whom, he eald. true to the French character, had remained at their posts at the steadfast protectors 01 me people. The relief work, he declared, had been dependent entirely upon the mayors and the excellent results obtained were tneir monument.

The prefect of the department of the Olse, on behalf of the French Government, said that an official Investigation of the- liberated communes shotted not only amazing efficiency under the conditions but that the final proof of its character was that public health had been maintained among the civilian population. Until the Germans began to retreat they had not Interfered with the relief work. The prefect was so moved In expressing thanks to America that for a time he was unable to continue because of tears. Some of the mayors still had In their keeping money or supplies which the Germans had not taken. They were extremely careful In their stewardship and wished to square account Immediately with Mr.

Hoover. One of them asked If he had done wrong in baking bread from relief flour after the Germans had left. Another wanted Mr. Hoover to count the empty sacks which, under tbe regulations, had to returned to the commission, and another tried to have Mr. Hoover accept 1,400 franca due the commission.

Sees Devastated Region. Louis Chevrlllon, French Commissioner for Relief, accompanied Mr. Hoover on his visit to the devastated region and to the villages which have been destroyed. The Inhabitants of the villages have taken temporary residence In Ham and Noyon. Some 1,600 French mayors still remain at their posts In the occupied territory behind the German llnee.

Mr. Hoover, speaking to the corre-fpondent of The Sum before leaving Paris to-day for London, absolved the German of the charge of seizing supplies contributed by the commission for the relief of the French people. "The gratitude of those people was touching," he said. "They all testified, and the prefect's Investigation confirmed Xr han TuSbu'hoit- te and all reached those for whom they were meant. uie iw'pit.

Roe. The Altman contingent of the Home Defence league, 00 strong, held Its first battalion drill yesterday morning on the roof of the store at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street. The organization Is the outgrowth of a suggestion of Police Commissioner Woods. Although recruit ing was begun only last Monday four companies have been formed and each has had one drill under the direction of Police Se'rgeant Hines of the Second pre clnct.
