fownshend’s Soldiers Upheld
Best Traditions of British Army
During Long Siege.
By EDMUND CANDLER,
service and Official Observer With
the British Forces on the Tigris.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE TI
GRIS ARMY (via London), May 10.
1 am able to supply the following
first-hand details of the surtrender of
Major General Charles F. Town
shend and his garrison at Kut-el-
Amara: ‘
The last wireless communications
sent out by General Townshend were
dispatched on the morning of April
20. Two messages were received here.
The first one read:
“1 have destroyed the guns, most of
the munitions are being destroyed,
axd officers have gone to Khalil (the
Turkish general) at Madug to eay
that we are ready to surrender. We
must have food. We can not hold
out any longer. Khalil was told to
day of our predicament, and officers |
have gone with a launch to bring food |
from the Julner.”
The Julner was the ship sent on
the night of April 24 to carry supplies
to the garrison at Kut.
Hoists White Flag.
The next Wwire begins:
“Have hoisted the white flag at Kut
over the fort and town. The guards
will be taken over by the Turkish
regiment, now approaching. 1 shall
shortly destroy the wireleis. The
roops will go into camp near Sham
ran.”
The message ended abruptly here.
A prearranged signal indicated at 1
p. m. that General Townshend’'s last
message had gone through.
On the same day the Turkish gen
eral, Khalil Bey Pasha, received the
British envoys. He said he was anx
jous that the garrison be well ra
tioned, and that General Townshend,
for whom he expressed profound ad
miration, should receive every com
fort after the privations he had en
dured so gallantly,
The ships and barges laden with
food and stores which were admitted
to Kut now have taken back 777 sick
and wounded to be exchanged. It is
expected that 700 more will follow.
Kha!il PAsha sald that he did not
contemplate any reprisals against the
civilians in Kut.
Townshend to Capital.
General Townshend is belleved to
be proceeding direct to Constantino
ple,
Kut was held to the very verge of
starvation, . Frot April 16 the garni
son was reduced to four ounces of
flour daily, with a ration of horse
flesh.
During the first month of the siege
the garrison was only afraid of a
shortage of ammunition before rellef
should come, which was reckoned as
a certainty,
As soon as we advanced from All-
Gherb! in January, the Turks relaxed
their hold on Townshend, but the
check at Oran made the question of
supplies serious.
The civillans remained in Kut, as
the Turks showed that they would ex
ecute any who escaped. Thus the gar
rison was burdened with 6,000 extra
mouths. |
On January 24 hidden stores of
grain were discovered, which afforded
three months’ supplies and reduced
the scale of Arabs who were recelving
army rations.
The story of the siege shows that
the herolsm displayed by the garrison
was worthy of the most glorious tra
ditions of the British army.
Turks Capture 551
Officers, 5,000 Guns
CONSTANTINOPLE (by wireless
and Berlin), May 10-~Five hundred

teenth and Fighteenth Brigades, re
spectivély: also General Smith, com

“The number of officers captured by

Black Arf Predictor
In Bad Predicament
Professor 1. 8. Willilams, colored
seer, professional phrenologist, as
trologer, medium -at - large and
prophet without the vell, was on the
interfor of the stockade Wednesday
with nothing to do but to predict that
the ronitor the next 30 days would
be black-ayed and that the corn bread
weuld come in large, brewn pones.
Sud‘gc Johneon sent him in for a
spell un%y afternoon when License
Inspector Woodall testified that Pro
fessor Willlams operated a den of
mystery at No. 196 Fraser street
without a license. His particular act
of benevolence for the colored world
_Was to tell clients how easy it is to
increase the wage scale to sl9 per
day, said the officer,

And Driver Must Pay for Damage
s
to Buggy He Hit Qut of
. i
S4O-a-Month Salary. \
How fast is the Grady ambulance,
bearing a patient considered to be dy
ing, justified in running and what
traffic rights has it?
These questions were discussed
rather spiritedly in Recorder’'s Court
Wednesday when C. D. Miller, driver
of the ambulance, was brought up jon
a charge of reckless driving, follow
ing an accident Saturday night, when
he struck a buggy while rushing a
woman who had taken poison to the
hospital,
J. H, Stewart, of No. 20 Walton
street, owner of the buggy, wanted
Miller fined and made to pay the dam
age to the rig, which was estimated at
SB. Miller declared that he was not
driving recklessly, that he was told
the woman was dying and that he
consgidered the Grady ambulance in
life-and-death cases had right of way
over all other vehicles. He also said
he was ringing his gong continuously
and all traffic cleared & way for the
ambulance except Stewart, whom he
couldn’t avoid hitting. .
The Recorder warned Miller that he
mustn’t drive “so fast,”’ and dismissed
the case, with the understanding that
Miller pay for the damage to the bug
gy, SB.
“Not m.ch encouragement for real
ambulance service when an ambulance
driver has to pay out of a S4O-a
--month salary damages for an ob
structing buggy which he side
wipes,” remarked one of the hospital
attaches. “In many emergency cases
minutes mean life or death to the per
son the ambulance is carrying, too.”
