THE SUN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1915 BRITISH DRIVEN AWAY FROM BAGDAD TURKISH FORCES DEFEAT COMPEL WITHDRAWAL GEN. TOWNSEND. AN3 OF LITTLE ACTUAL FIGHTINtt Report That Turkish Forcaa Outnua bered British Four to One. Other Fronts Are Quiet. London. The British, German ant Turkish accounts of the recent fight ing in Mesopotamia, while containing minor dlsatches respecting the easul ties and character of the British re treat on the Tigris, clearly establish the fact that without further rein torcements to equal the overpowering odds against which they have been struggling, the British troops under General Townsend have little proa pect of continuing the march to Bag dad, which city appeared a few week ago . to be almost within their grasp Having advanced during October and November through the desert ot Irak to the very environments of Bagdad, the British force is now re tiring upon Kut-el-Amara. 80 milei southeast of Ctesiphon. the scene of the battle fought In the latter part of November in which the British troops met their first serious check. The position therefore of General Townsend 's force is much the sams as in September after the battle of Kut-el-Amara. According to a recent account large Turkish reinforcement, supplementing the forces which al ready outnumbered the British force Sour to one, were flung against the British troops retiring down the Tig ris, and made a British stand impos sible. There have been no military events of any Importance in the Balklns since the fall of Monastir. Recent re ports make Rumania loom unusually large on the Balkan horizon, and that country is generall accredited with the intention either of joining the Allies or at least stretching her neutrality to the point of allowing her passage of Russian troops. There has been, however, no confirmation of the report that Russian troops have al ready entered Rumanian territory.

HOW A DEEP ' SEATED COUGH And Sore Lungs Were Over come by Vinol Mr. Hill man's Statement of Facts Follows: Camden, N. J. "I had a deep seated cough, a run-down system and my lungs were awfully weak and sore. I am an electrician by occupation and my cough kept me awake nights so I thought at times I Would have to give up. I tried everything everybody suggested and had taken so much medicine I was dis gusted. " One evening I read about Vinol and decided to give it a trial. Soon I noticed an improvement. I kept on taking it and today I am a well man. The sore ness is all gone from my lungs, I do not have any cough and have gained fifteen pounds in weight and I am telling my friends that Vinol did it." Frank Hillm an, Camden, N. J. It is the curative, tissue-building in fluence of cods' livers aided by the blood making, strength creat " :g properties of tonic iron, contained in Vinol, that made it so successful in Mr. Hillman's case. We ask every person in this vicinity suffering from weak lungs, chronic coughs, or a run-down condition of the system to try a bottle of Vinol on our guarantee to return your money if it fails to help you. Dr. T. . Iwitty Drug Company. Rutherfordton a . EMBASSY IS DISMISSED UNCLE SAM INFORMS GERMAN EMBASSY OF THEIR IMPROP ER ACTIVITIES. State Department Made Request Some Time Ago. But Announce ment Wss Withheld. Washington. Immediate withdraw al of Capt. Karl Boy-Ed and Capt. Franz von Papen, respectively, naval and military attaches of the German embassy, has been requested by the state department. In making formal announcement of this action. Secre tary Lansing said the attaches had rendered themselves persona non grata to the United States government by Improper activities in connection with naval and military matters- The secretary acted with the full approval of President Wilson, who is understood to have determined that the United States shall be rid of for eign officials who make themselves ob noxious by acticity harmful to the beat Interests of the nation. The state department made its re quest three day s ago through Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor. Announcement of the fact was with held as a matter of courtesy to Ger many and to prevent the charge being made that the jury trying the warship supply conspirators of the Hamburg American line in New York had in any way been influenced in reaching a verdict. No reply has been received, but none is necessary and it is taken for granted that the ambassador will or der the attaches away as soon as he has exchanged communications with Berlin. Official Washington was speculating upon the effect the action might have on public opinion in Germany. In formation upon that subject, it was said in high official circles, would be awaited with interest. It also became known that the de partment has under consideration the case of Alexander von Nuber, Austro Hungarian consul general at New York, whose name frequently has been mentioned with those of Boy-Ed and Von Papen in connection with activities which have been frowned upon by the United States government.
