London, April 3O-News dispatches

still in possession of important points,
all of which, however, were declared

Fires of serious nature have brok-
en- out, according to the current tele-
grams, and street fighting is contin-
uing.
Field Marshal Viscount French, COM
mander of the home forces, reports
that the general postoffice at Dublin,
which has been the principal strong
hold of the Sim Feiners, has been
burned. Connolly, one of the leaders
of the rebels, is reported to have been
killed.
Many of the rebels have been taken
prisoner and the revolt in Dublin is on
the verge of collapse. In the rest of
Ireland the situation generally is salts
factory.
Redmond Offers Services.
John Redmond, leader Of the Irish
nationalists, has placed himself abso-
lutely at the disposal of the authori-
ties and is in constant touch with
them. He has instructed nationalist
supporters in all parts of Ireland to
hold themselves at the disposal of the
military authorities.
In many places besides Dublin the

keeping up a constant fusilade. The
list of casualties includes many civil
ians who, the correspondent says,
have been picked off by Sim Fein sni-
pers for no other reason than that they
were believed to be loyal.

most about the uprising in Dublin is
the supply of munitions in the hands
of the rebels" says an arrival from
Ireland"

London.-Major General Charles
Townshend, commander of the British
forces. besieged at Kut-el-Amara, Meto-
potamia, by Turkish forces since last
December, surrendered Saturday. The
official statement added that General
ToWnshend destroyed all his guns and
ammunition before surrendering.
The British force which surrender
ed amounts to about 10000 men.
Siege Lasts 143 Days.
The following official announcement
was made:
after resistance protracted for 143
days and conducted with gallantry
and fortitude that will be forever
memorable, General Townshend has
been compelled by the final exhaustion
Of his supplies to surrender.
Before doing SO he destroyed his
guns and munitions.
"The force under him consists of
1910 British troops of all ranks and
services, and some 5000 Indian troops
and their followers"
Relief Was Near.
General Townshend probably was
driven to surrender to avoid starva-
ton of his forces. A recent official
Turkish communication said that the
position of the British at Kut-el-Ama-
ra was critical and that they were
expecting to receive small supplies of
food by aeroplane. An official state
ment received Sunday from London
showed that last effort to send sup
plies to the garrison had failed. 1t
was announced that a ship laden with
supplies had been sent up the Tigris,
that it had been grounded about four
miles east of the city.

the Turks resistance has increased
and, aided by floods, they have been
able to hold the British in check.
No official figures have been given
out as to the number of troops which
set forth from the. Persian gulf in
November of 1914, on the expedition
which has now ended in surrender.
Unofficially the number has been es-
timated as high as $4,000 This force
has suffered heavy losses in severe
battles with the Turks.
Is Serious Loss.
The surrender of General Town
shend is one of the few instances of
the war in which an entire fighting
unit Of important numbers has laid
down it's arms. 1t is one Of the largest
bodies of troops of the entente allies
which have surrendered and larger
than any other captured French OF
British force.
Early in December Of last year Gen.
eral Townshend's army was beaten in
battle at Ctesiphon, 1S miles below
Bagdad, and retreated to Kut-el-
Amara Besieged by large army of
Turks, the British defended them
selves so successfully that the Turks
at length decided to starve them out.
After it became evident that the
army at Kut-el-Amara would be I'M
able to fight its way out, relief ex-
petition was dispatched AS it drew
near Kut-el-Amara it was opposed by
formidable bodies of Turks and its.
advance was stopped. The Turks, ia.
king the offensive, pushed back the
British and inflicted large losses on
them.
Battles Deplete Force.
Throughout the Mesopotamian cam
paign the fighting has been heavy
and the losses severe. On April IA 1t
was admitted the Tigris army up to
that time had lost 800 men. In one
engagement alone at Beitsea, on the
right bank of the Tigris a few miles
below Kut-el-Amara, the British lost
1000, according to an announcement
from the Turkish war office last week.

Why does Woodrow Wilson try to
deceive the people in this eight hour
fraud? He knows that 1t was not an
eight-hOur principle that was at stake !;
he knows that 1t was an increase of
wages for the trainmen that was asked
for and not an eight-hour work day,
yet he raves about an eight-hour day
not being principle for arbitration.
II the railroad employees had asked
for day of eight hours. that would
have been granted by the railroads in
less than an hour.
Mr.. Wilson is trying TO deceive the
American people and he is deceiylng
some OF them. but Mr.. Wilson cannot
deceive all of the American people all

ROAD BOND ISSUE
ELECTION IN LEWIS
Is important as 1t is First Great
Step toward a State Road
System.

WESTON. Oct. 12-The greatest
step that has been made in the move
for a state road system for West Vir-
ginia has been inaugurated in Lewis
county by the filing of petition pro-
viding for $l,000,000 to improve the
two main roads crossing the county
north and south. east and west. II
West Virginia were to be made a
wheel, the city of Weston would be the
hum and with these roads, radiating
from Weston north and south, east
and west and paved in each direction
to the county line. 1t is readily seen
that future road development in the
state will hinge in great measure
upon the results of the proposed cleo
ton called for November Z.
The bond issue was first proposed
to the county court on September O.,
and by the court submitted to the
voters by order entered September
II. A call was made for the state
road engineer, but owing to his being
in the southern part of the state he
could not be reached until after the
order was entered The order then
entered provided for thirty-four
year I'VE per cent serial bond, no
specified amount to mature in any
one year A maximum levy of thirty
cents on the 500 was proposed on
the valuation Of $31,929,11O.S8. The
state engineer upon learning of the
order being entered began an in
vestigation which resulted in the
court changing the order. The oNgi-
nal order did not provide for sepa-
rate ballot on the levy as is required
by chapter Q. acts of 1908. This and
many other changes were made for
the betterment of the issue. The
original issue would have cost APP
proxlmately 81 ,S7$.95O. The present
proposed revised issue will cost ST.
472,500. The revised issue provides
for a maximum levy Of thirty-five
cents on the 500. for a four and one
half per cent serial bonds and final
payment to be made within twenty
years The payment and approxi-
mate rates of levy based upon the
present valuation as furnished by the
state road engineer arc.
