OR + PERRY: MAY 4 1916 : Gen: Townshend ts Detenece - Gu t @afrison at Kutel: Amara Surrenders to Turks ' .--Food Exhausted London, April 30.--The follow- ing official announcement was made yesterday. . lifter a resistance protrated for days, and conducted with a gallantry and fortitude that will be ever memorable, General Townshend has been compelled, by the final, exhaustion of his supplies, to sur- render. 4Before ' doing so he destroyed his guns and minitions. "The force under him consists of 2,970 British troops of all ranks and services, and some 6,000 Indian troops and their followers." The Constantinople report via says: The Vice-Chief Com- mander of the Turkish forces oper- ating in Mesopotamia reports that General Townshend with a force of 13,300 men, constituting the Eng- fish garrison at Kut-el-Amara, has surrendered unconditionally to the Turkish command. General Townshend probably was riven fo surrender to avoid starva- ion of his forces. A recent official ish - communication said that the position of the British at Kut- ,el-Amara was ctitical, and that they were expecting to receive small ippli food by aeroplane. An ) ent received yesterday % London showed that -a- last . effort to send supplies to the garri- son had failed. It was announced that a ship laden with supplies, which had been sent up the Tigris, had grounded about four miles east "of the city. ~ Less than a score of miles away, on the banks of the Tigris below the city, is a relief army which for _ fhooths has been attempting to * reach the besieged forces of Gen. Townshend. A few weeks ago several victories were announced, and hope ran high in England that the 'mission would succeeed. Of fate, however, the Turks' resistance ea and, aided by floods, 3 have been able to hold the British in check.

Cockburt particularly emphasized the great and pressing need for men. He tried to disillasiofi those of his auli- ence who were inclinedto believe that the-critical point in this tetrible war Has been passed, that it is only a mattet of time when the Allies willl emerge yictéri= ous from the struggle.

Col. Coburn impressed one as being a man enthusias- tic and optimistic in the task which the Government:has asked 'him to under- take. He is doing his best. Are you? Mre. Parsons spoke as a mother to mothers--as a mother who has made the supreme sacrifice for her country--two sons in the trenches "Somewheére in France." Can anyone then 'doubt the sincerity of her appeal? Her appeal was directed particularly © to the': women, mothers, wives, sisters, sweethearts, to make {hat sacrifice which is even greater than that of the man who is willing fo sacrifice his life for his King, and Cogn. try. Mrs. Parsons' appeal was so fervid so inspiring that Many a woman was raised from the depths. of despondency to the heights of self-sacrifice and glory in having sacrificed for the great cause." Sgt.' Major. Gandy, a returned soldier, who went Over with" the 4th Battalion made appeals that were intense with the depth of feeling of a man who bas seen the need. His stories were vivid and one could almost fancy seeing that khaki line asking "Will they ne come?' Whose fault was it that didn't come?
