ATLANTA, GA
fownshend’s Soldiers Upheld
Best Traditions of British Army
During Long Siege.
By EDMUND CANDLER,
Cervice and Official Observer With
the British Forces on the Tigris.
HEADQUARTERE OF THE TI
GRIS ARMY (via London), May 10
I am able to supply the following
first-hand detaile of the surrender of
Major General Charies F. Town
shend and his garrison dat Kut-el-
Amara:
The last wireless communications
ent out by General Townshend were
dispatched on the morning of April
(0. Two messages were received here.
I'he first one read:
“I have destroyed the guns, most of
the munitions are being destroyed,
and officers have gone to Khalll (the
Turkish general) at Madug to say
that we are ready to surrender., We
must have food. We can not hold
out any longer. Khailil 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
1o the garrison at Kut.
Hoists White Flag.
The next wire 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. I shall
shortly destroy the wireless. The
troops will go inte camp near Sham
ran,”
The message ended abruptly heras.
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 sald he was anx
ipus that the garrison be well ra
ioned, and that Genera! 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 wwith
food and stores which were admitted |
to Kut now have taken back 777 sick
and wounded to be exchanged. It is
sxpected that 700 more will follow.
Khalil Pasha said that he did net
wontemplate any reprisals against the
ivilans in Kut,
Townshend to Capital.
General Townshend s belleved to
In]~ proceeding direct to Constantino
e,
Kut was held to the very verge of
starvation, From April 16 the garri
son was reduced to four ounces of
four daily, with a ration of horse
fiesh,
During the first month of the siege
the garrison was only afraid of a
shortage of ammunition before relief
should come which was reckoned as
a Certainty.
As soon as we advanced from Ali-
Gherbi in January, the Turks relaxed
their hold on Townshend, but the
check at Oran made the question of
supplies serious.
The civilans 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 receiving
army rations, .
The story of the siege shows that
the heroism displayed by the garrison
was worthy of the most glorious tra
ditions of the British army.

Officers, 5,000 Guns
CONSTANTINOPLE (by wireless
and Berlin), May 10.~Five hundred

In'Bad Predicament
Professor 1. 8. Willlams, colored
seer, professional phrenologist, AR~ |
irologer, medium -at - large and
prophet without the veil, was on tho{
interior of the stockade Wednesday
with nothing to do but te predict that
the peas for the next 30 days would
be black-eyed and that the corn bread
would come in large, brown pones,
Judge Johnson sent him in for a
spell Tuesday 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 $lO per
day, said the officer.

and digging of the scalp will stop, and

And Driver Must Pay for Damagel
<
to Buggy He Hit Out of |
S4O-a-Month Salary. - 1
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 on
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
considered 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 a 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 t& understanding that
Miller pay for the damage to the bug
gy, SB.
“Not much 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.”
