MESOPOTAMIA.
REPORT OF OPERATIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept. 29. A War Office communique states that on the lower Euphrates Semana is Hostile concentrations were bombed during the morning of the 27th. The reconstruction of the railway west of Ur is making good progress. British artillery bombarded an Arab encampment near Musseyib on the Middle Euphrates. The blockhouse system on the BagdadFellujah railway lias been completed. North-east of Bagdad, further operations around "Deltawa were hindered -by heavy rain which rendered the roads temporarily impassable. Prior to our occupation of the town the insurgents flooded the low country by breaking the Tahila canal. Accurate gunfire drove them from the positions on the canal, but, owing to the inundations, the movement of troops is now confined to a causeway. The telegraph line between Bakuba and Deltawa, which was repaired, has been cut again. A number of sheikhs have made formal submission to the Government. A large quantity of Government arms and stores has been recovered.—Reuter.
