’B'RITISH SURRENDER MORE
THAN 10,000 MEN TO TURKS
L‘ Washingion, April 29.—Another
l‘phase of the ill-fated British campaign
{in Mesopotania has closed with the
surrender of General Townshend and
the garrison at Kut-el-Amara on the
Tigris river, about 230 miles below
Bagdad. Some 10,000 men in all laid
down their arms to the Turks after
fiaving destroyed all their guns and mu
' nitions. ) .
i The British Mesopotamian campaign
waged along the Tigris from the Per
sian gulf northward almost to the
gates of Bagdad, had as its chief aim
the capture of the ancient city. To
divert Turkish forces from Gallipoli
was another object.
© @General Townshend held out for 146
days, his supplies steadily growing low
er as he awaited the relief army
which first under General Aylmer and
then under General Gorringe, battled
its way up the Tigris toward him. This
army encountered strong positions of
the Turks below Kut on both sides of
the river and, although several of
these were carried, it has not been
‘able to work much closer to the bale
guered garrison than a score of miles
because of the stubborn Turkish resis
tance and flood conditions of the Ti
gris.

At the itme of the tragedy when the

man should see to it that his four-leg
ged friend be well fed.

TWO HUSBANDS ARE
TROUBLE FOR WOMAN
Married Saturday night and confined
in the Crisp county jail two hours af
terwards because she got married was
the experience of Ada Harrell, a ne
gro woman, who is now bemoaning the
fact that two husbauds are entirely

ment from him entitled her to marry
again if she desired. So Saturday
night she married Joe Bell, and the
news came quickly to the ears of the
first husband, who issued a warrant
charging bigamy.
