London.—Bagdad, March 1917—t
A citv dead to the world, governed
l\jr thp bribe gathering Turkg and
tneir store-keeping German advisors,
a link in the Hun dream of world
domination through the Berlin-to*
Ba^dad railway. i
Bagdad, July 191S.—A city alive
w'th a stream of humanity passing
t rough its, gates, its disease cen
ters oractic-aily e'.miinated, its peo
ple happy and content under the
rule of its deliverers.
This is the result of a little over
a yea-'s occupation of Bagdad by
rh- British forces. V
; When tlx© city was captured by
-the British on March 11, 1917, the
lu'litar/ authorities found a com
munity infested with contagious
w'th an inadequate water
supply, the people themselves luk^e"
»'rm in the interest of the British
fo- their own welfare.
All thig has been changed within
♦*ie. '"st year. A police force has i
been organized .also a fire brigade.
The water supply hag been ex
tended. Electric street lights have I
been installed. Schools have been j
erevtM »nd mosques have been re
paired. The streets are flushed* (
daily and sanitary squads are makin |
it a Healthy town to live in. Mar- I
kets hRVe been opened, assuring a j
continual supply of food.
And most of all, the community's J
atMtude toward the British has j
cuanged to that of good w ill and'
trust They are co-operating in all
civic works, and openly express
thsir preference to tne rule of their
deliveries, rather than go back to
Turkish misrule.
What has been aeeomplisned in j
Bagdad is being accomplished in
th-* other cities in the hands of the j
allied forces. They are making j
fr'end.- of the population ilnd' inci-1
dentally ringing down the curtain |
on Germany's hopes to control Me«" j
opotamia after the war.
