MESOPOTAMIA CAMPAIGN.
CLIMATE'S HEAVY TOLL.
WINTER WELCOMED.
Times and Sydney Sun. Service? 'Received September 26. 15 p.m.)
London, September -6.
The Times' correspondent in Mesopotamia states that the troops there and at the Persian Gulf welcome the approaching winter as the end of a long period of trying heat. The climate has taken a toll of British and Indian troops alike.
The troops opposing the British advance are mainly Turkish regulars, assisted by Arab and Khurd levies and the- warlike Arab tribesmen of the country. The last-named have played a three-cornered part by harassing and plundering both sides and sometimes turning Turkish defeats into disastrous routs.
