The article focuses on various developments from across the world. Great Britain led campaign in Iraq has taken a rather surprising turn. It seems that Great Britain forces have advanced northward from Baghdad and east of the Tigris River to within striking distance of Mosul. Nobody imagined that Great Britain had enough troops in Mesopotamia to strike Aleppo, Syria and Mosul simultaneously. State and national officials in Illinois have obtained the indictment of sixteen persons for the lynching of a man at Collinsville-twelve civilians for murder and four policemen for malfeasance in office.
