OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
LONDON. Aug. 8. British troops
pursuing the Turkish force defeated
last week at Romani have caught up
with the Turkish rear guard six miles
east of Katia. about 30 miles east of
the Suez Canal, says an official state
ment regarding: the campaign in Egypt,
issued today. Quantities of "war ma
terial are beins gathered by the Brit
ish from the Romani battlefield.
The British press representative
with the army at Romani sends the fol
lowing under date of August 5:
"At sunset yesterday, Turkish pre
tensions for the conquest of Egypt
were irretrievably smashed. While a
crescent moon faintly lighted the des
ert we pursued the defeated Turkish
troops.
"The brunt of the fighting was borne
by the Anzac mounted troops, who ac
quitted themselves magnificently. For
more than a week they had little rest,
keeping in touch with the enemy, push
ing back patrols and reconnoitering.
Their final attacks yesterday were ir
resistible. British Yield Ground Gradually.
"At midnight on Thursday the Turks
In strength of one division held a north
and south line through Katia-Umaisha,
about seven miles long, with the flanks
thrown westward. From a point south
of Romani to the Mediterranean was
the Scottish infantry, while the Anzacs
in front of them an hour before day
light fought with great steadiness and
determination against the well-handled
enemy in superior numbers, yielding
ground gradually, until Major-General
Lawrence could reinforce the line with
more cavalry and infantry.
At midday we held a line through
Mahamadi, Romani, Katia and Gannit.
"For a mile west of Romani is Well
ington Ridge, which the Turks made
energetic attempts to reach. Two miles
due south is Mount Meredith, and here
and at Mount Royston, three miles
northwest, the enemy managed to get
a footing in the afternoon.
"The Turks had chosen what ap
peared the easiest path toward the
canal, a broad undulating sandy -place,
flanked by sand dunes. At 3 o'clock the
enemy attacked fiercely Romani and
Gannit, but were driven back toward
Abuhamra with considerable losses.
Knriuy Scattered Over Desert.
"At 5 o'clock our infantry began an
attack from the north to the south,
while dismounted yeomanry moved
over the sand dunes toward Mount
Royston. Our artillery, rifles and ma
chine guns cost the enemy dearly.
Nothing could withstand the onslaught
and we drove the enemy off Mount
Royston and Wellington Ridge; then,
after a brief delay, cleared Meredrith,
collecting a thousand prisoners and
scattering the remainder of the force
over the face of the desert, where the
pursuit continues.
"Whether the Turks will try to hold
the trenches taken by them remains to
be seen, but whatever happens. Egypt
is safer from invasion than at any time
during the war. No finer indication of
General Murray's policy of making the
Turks fight far from the canal could be
given than that traffic on the water
ways has not stopped for a single min
ute. The Turks fought hard, but the
prisoners were delighted to be in Brit
ish hands, receiving good food and
abundant water. At the present writing
the enemy is scattered far and wide
in the desert, not in orderly columns.
but in small parties, and many of these
doubtless will be taken prisoner. The
victory is absolute.

"North of Roclincourt two of our
raiding parties successfully entered the
German lines and blew up some dug
outs. "An enemy squadron of 10 aero
planes endeavored to cross our lines
yesterday on a bembing expedition.
They were cut off by one of our of

Without Delay.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The Senate
late today passed the bill to prevent
interstate commerce in products of
child labor. The vote was 53 to 12
The measure, already passed by the
House, was brought to a vote In the
Senate upon the insistence ot the Presi
dent after the Democratic Senate
caucus once had decided to defer its
consideration until next December.
Senators who voted against the bill
were: Bankhead. Alabama; Bryan and
Fletcher. Florida: Hardwick and Smith,
Georgia: Overman and Simons, North
Carolina; Smith and Tillman, South
Carolina; Williams. Mississippi (Demo
crats), and Oliver and Penrose, Penn
sylvania Republicans).
Opposition to 'the measure had come
chiefly from Southern cotton mill own
ers and the group of Southern Demo
crats who voted against it and fought
in caucus and maintained their opposi
tion during the Senate debate on the
ground that the regulation proposed, is
unconstitutional and would interfere
with the rights of the states. Eleven
Democrats from the South voted for It.
To expedite consideration of the
measure in conference. Senate con
ferees were appointed immediately aft
er the original vote was taken. The
only amendment adopted would ex
tend the bill's provisions to bar all
products of establishments employing
children from interstate commerce. The
House measure was directed only
against those on which child labor
actually had been employed.
Amendments to make the prohibition
apply only to children under 14 who
could not read or write, to make it
apply to children on farms and to
postpone its effective date for two
years were voted down.
The bill as passed would prohibit

"As a matter of tact it was imposed
because he undertook a treacherous

"The newspapers Insist furthermore
that Germany never admitted the un

Irrelevant whether Great Britain agrees

British legal views are dependent on
consideration of expediency and not of
justice. For example, the British war
