LONDON, Sept. 25. The Times' correspondent in Mesopotamia states: "The troops here, and in the Persian Gulf, welcome the apDroaehing winter, ending a spell of long and trying heat. The climate has taken very heavy toll pf British and Indian troops alike. "The troops opposing the British advance are mainly Turkish regulars, assisted by Arabs and Kurd levies, and the warlike Arab tribesmen of the country, but the latter have played a three-cornered game, harassing and plundering both sides, sometimes turning a Turkish defeat into a disastrous rout. "Students of divinity will be interested to know that two important actions were fought on the actual site of the Garden of Eden, which, it is locally stated, is at Kurna, at the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates. The British troops garrisoned there express doubts as to its authenticity, though pandering to local opinion 80 far as to dub the most important thoroughfares 'Serpent's Corner' and 'Temptation Square.' " The Daily Mail reprints the Budget forecast of the "Hamburger Fremdenblatt" correctly forecasting the British income tax and tea and tobaeeo increases two days before Mr Eeginald M'Kenna's speech in the I House of Commons.
