Best Traditions of British Army
During Long Siege.
By EDMUND CANDLER,
Zervice and Official Observer With
the British Forces on the Tigris.
HEADQUARTERE OF THE TI
GRIS ARMY 7(via lLondon), May 10,
1 am able to supply the following
firgt-hand details of the surrender 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:
“l have destroyed thie guns, most of
the munitions are being destroyed,
and officers have gone to Khalil (the
Turkish general) at Madug to say
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 wire begins:
“Have holeted the white flag at Kut
over the fort and town. The guards
will be taken over by the 'l‘urkhsp
regiment, now approaching. I shall
shortly destroy the wirelesg. The
troops -will go into camp near Bham
ran.”
The message ended ahruptly 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 sald he was anx
fous that the garrison be well ra
tioned, and that General Townshend,
for whom he expressed profound ad
miration, ahnuld‘ receive every com
fort after the privations he had en
dured so gallantly.
The ships and barges laden with
food and stores whl(-g were admitted
to Kut now have taken back 777 sick
and wounded to be exchanged. It s
ex{%octed that 700 more will follow,
halil Pagha said that he did not
contemplate any reprisals against the
wvivillans in Kut.
Townpshend to Capital. {
General Townshend 1s helieved to
h? proceeding direct to Constantinos
pie.
Kut was held to the very verge of
starvation. From April 16 the garri
son was reduced to four eunces of.
flour dally, with a ration of horse
fiesh,
During the first month of the siege
the garrison was only afraid of a
shortage of ammunition before reliet
shouid come, which was reokqnxn as
8 certainty, ;
AS goon a&s we advanced from Ali-
Gherbi in January, the Turks relaxed
t?gjxkupld on Townshend, but the
check at Oran made the quesfion of
supplies serious, gy
T&g civillans remalned 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 geale of Arabs who were recelving
army rations,
The gtory of the siege shows that
the heroism displayed by the garrison
was worthy of the most gloriolis tra
ditions of the British army,

And Driver Must Pay for DamagJ
to Buggy He Hit Out of
S4O-a-Month Salary.
How fast is the Grady ambulance,
bearing a patignt 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 poisen to the
hospital. |
J. H, Btewart, of No. 20 Walton
street, owner of the buggy, wanted
Miller fined and made to pay the dam
*&ge to the rig, whi¢h 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 sald
'he was ringing his gong continuously
‘and all traffic cleared a way for the
‘ambulance except Stewart, whom he
‘couldn't avoid hitting. X
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 much encouragement for real
‘ambulance serviee when an ambulance
'driver has to pay out of a S4O-a
--month salary damages for an ob
strycting 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 ambulanee is carrying, too.”
