COL DEFEAT FOR BRITISH IN BAGDAD CAMPAIGN Forced to Retreat Before Overwhelming Turkish Aarmy in Mesa, potamia. I London, Dec. 4.?British, German and Turkish accounts' of the recent fighting in Mesopotamia, although containing minor disparities respeting the ! casualties and character of the British rt-treat on the Tigris, establish that without further reinforcements to equal the overpowering odds against which they have been struggling the British troops under Gen. iTownshend have little prospect of continuing the ma.mh to Bagdad, which a few weeks ago appeared to be almost within their grasp. Having advanced during October and November through the desert ot Irak to the very environs of Bagdad, the British force now is retiring upon Kut-el-Amara, SO miles southeast of C'tesiphon, the scene of the battle fought the last of November, in which the British met their first serious check. ! ? The position, therefore, of Gen. Townshend's force is much the same as in September, after the battle of Kut-el-Amara. According to a recent [account, large Turkish reinforcements, supplementing forces which already outnumbered the British force four to {one, were flung against the Eritish troops, retiring down the Tigris and j made a British stand out of the ques; tion. j There have been no military events j of importance in the Balkans since the j fall of Monastir.

FLOYD HOLDS JOB BUT M\TES FAIL rojnnssiONERs unseated in spartanburg recall. tfain Factor Apaprently Contention of Winners That They Have Been Badly Treated. rbe State. Spartanburg, Dec. 7.?In Spartan)urg's recall election here today, Mayor John F. Floyd, was re-elected, but Commissioners John P. Fielder and C. 3. Waller, running on the ticket with bim, were defeated by J. T. Hudson md 0. T. Gallman. Messrs. Hudson md Gallman were commissioners unil November 13, last, when they retired through act of the legislature relucing the number of commissioners rrom four to two. Mayor Floyd was opposed by Former Hay or 0. L. Johnson. 'The vote is as follows: Floyd, 727; rohnson, 598. For commissioner, Hud on, 720; Gallman, 721; Feld&r, 616; Waller, 595. The election was ordered by the governor, only a week ago, making the campain short. The recall election had its origin in a coniroverysy mat arose m ine council over a loan of $85,000 to the city by the Merchants and Farmers' bank at 4 p^r cent, when it was contended that the city had been offered cheaped money by the Bank of Spartanburg. Mayor Floyd is accociated with the institution from which the loan was secured. This question, however, wras hardly mentioned during the campaign and if there was an is6ue it wTas that raised by Commissioners Gallman and HnHcnn tViof av V?o ^ t->a! Kaon fr?no + VXAOrU uuu UVL exactly right when they were legislated out of office through the action of the county delegation in reducing the number of commissioners. iMessrs. Gall man and Hudson had only retired from office on November 13. During their term of office there was more or less friction between them and the mayor and Commissioners Waller and Fielder, who generally supported the mayor. It was really a fight between tne "outs" and tne "ins" and the outs won, in so far as the commissioners ire concerned. WEBB-KENTON ACT WILL BE TESTED \ ??? Thus. H. Peeples to Aid In Fight for ,f onstitntionalitv of Measnre Exchange Letters. rhe State. Attorneys general of several Southern states will join in the fight ?o have the United Stated supreme court declare the Webb-Kenyon act constitu? tional. Thomas H. Peeples, attorney general of South Carolina, in a letter to William L. Martin, assistant attorney general of Alabama, has agreed to join in the suit. Such laws as the 'gallon-a-month" law in South Carolina have been enacted by the various jtate legislates. The case was originally brought in the state of 'West iVrginia by an express company. , About a week ago the United States supreme court ordered the West Virginia case arising under the WebbKenyon law to be restored to the locket for reargument. In his letter to the attorney general )f Alabama, Mr. Peeples said: "I am in receipt of yours of the 17th nstant, in reference to the case of the state of West Virginia against -the Adims Express company, now pending in he supreme court of the United States, in which you suggest that we join in i brief to be filed by the attorneys general of the several states as amici curiae. "In reply I will say that I shall be k-ery glad to join the attorneys general in this matter, but can not say at this time that I shall have time to prepare a separate brief. The fall term of our supreme court has just ronvened and my office is very busy at this time in the preparation of very important matters pending in that :ourt. In addition to this our general assembly will convene on the second Tuesday in January and it will hardly be possible for me to file a separate brief. However, if I find that an opn f ^ f T V? A /\n IT* pui tuuitj yi ccciito itotrn a auan vxz v/uaj too glad to join you and the others in the matter." Later Mr. Peeples stated that he would help in the preparation of the brief. The AJabama attorney general writing of the case said: "In mv rvninirvn thf> hripf wihir.h Wfl should file should discuss two propositions: '1. That the Webb-Kenyon law is constitutional. "2. (That the states, under the police power, have the right to legislate against the receipt and possession of liquor."
