UNDER CONSTANT
 FIRE FOR MONTHS
British Force at Kut Suffered Un-
 told PriVatiOnS Before Surrender

London, June 22.-The straits to which General Townehend's little army at Kut, the remnant of the force which pushed aln ost to Bagdad, was reduced before it surrendered with the approval of the home government are becoming only gradually known in England. The latest contribution to the annals or the siege comes in a letter from Edmund Candler, cnrre- spondent with the expedition which attempted in the face of impossible weather conditions to relieve Town shend's beleaguered troops
 For four months Townshend's men were under almost constant fire with no possibility of making any safe pro- lection from the shells. During 1he last weeks of the siege the daily deaths from fire and disease caused mainly by hunger averaged eight British and twenty one Indians. When

NEW CHINESE RAILROAD.

Picking, June 22.-The ministry of communications has requested the government to provide immediate funds for the construction of q rail- way from Picking to Jehol, the ancient capital of Manchuria. This line is es- pecially needed at present for defense purposes as the bandits in Mancnuria and Inner Mongolia are very active and the government requires speedy means of communication with the northern country. The route has al ready been surveyed, but because of the lack of funds no construction work has been done. The proba bic cost of the line is 12,00O,000 Mex ican. Part of this sum will be real ized from the profits of the Peking- Mukden and the Peking- Hankow gov ernment railways, and the remainder will be made up by the f1otation of 8 ShOrt-term loan.

WOULD BAR GERMANS.
England Will Try to Change Pro- vision of Rhodes Scholarship Trust.

London June 22.-The British gov~ ernment is preparing a bill to vary the conditions of the Rhodes Scholar ship Trust, so as to eliminate pro- visions for the endowment of German students coming to Oxford. Cecil Rhodes established fifteen scholar ships of $1,250 each for young men of German birth, to be nominated by the German Emperor. These en- ,dowments, along with those for American students, were created, as his will explained, under the convic- ton that "a good understanding be- tween England, the United States and Germany would secure the peace of the world, and educational relations form the strongest tie"
 The Pall Mall Gazette, comment ing on. the pending alteration Of the Rhodes bequest, remarks: "The cut ting out of Germany from the famous bequest is a symbolic admission Q,

CARDALE MAY LEAVE.
British Head of Naval Mission in
 Greece Ready to Withdraw,

Athens, Greece, June 22.-It is an- nounced that Rear Admiral Hubert s. Cardale, the acting head of the British Naval Mission in Greece and at present the ranking officer of the Royal Hellenic navy on active ser vice, will soon relinquish his post and leave Greece. He has been one of the most prominent figures in Athens during the war, for in his dual capacity as a Britisher and an ad- niral of the Greek navy, he has been a factor in quieting many of the in ternal dissensions in this country, which, ever since the war started, has been the scene of a continual pulling and hauling of warning interests.
 One day Admiral Cardale has been called upon to pronounce for the Kings party and again, on the next day. to speak for the Venizelists the edherent of the popular statesman who desired to see Greece take up arms against the Central Powers. The admiral appears to have been a favorite of both King Constantine and Venizelos His relations with the royal family are of long standing, beginning with his service under the personal command of the then Crown Prince Constantine in the first Balkan war. Recently the King acted as god father to the admiraPs son, naming the infant Constantine.
 On the outbreak of the European war in 1914 Admiral Cardale, secur- ing leave from the Greek govern ment, took the squad of British naval eunners in Serbia in hand, organized the British, French and Russian

Kut finally capitulated the regiments holding the front line, which had been there a fortnight without relief. was too weak to carry their equip ment.
 The real privations began in the middle of February, especially in the hospital. When milk gave out the hospital diet was corn flour or rice water for the sick, and the ordinary soldiers rations for the wounded. Until April 21 there was a daily grain ration of four ounces. From the 22nd to the 18th the garrison subsist- ed on two days reserve ration issued in January, and from the 18th to the 29th on food dropped by aeroplancs.
 The details Candler sends were ob- tained from wounded British officers who were permitted by the Turks to join the main British force below kut. The writer adds:
 All the artillery, cavalry and trans port animals had been consumed be- fore the garrison fell. One of the last mules to be slaughtered na1 been on three Indian frontier campaigns and wore the ribbons round it's neck. The supply and transport butcher had sent it back twice. Mule flesh was generally preferred to horse, and mule fat supplied good ripping; also an improvised substitute for lamp oil.
 The tobacco famine was d great privation. but the garrison did no- find
 the enforced abstention cured their craving, as every kind of substitute
 was there. An Arab brand, a species
 similar to that smoked in Indian hoo-
 kahs, was exhausted early in April After that lime leaves were smoked or ginger or baked tea dregs. Tn January English 'baccy' fetched over three pounds a half pound. In an auction of a dead officers effects box of cheap Indian cheroo oots fetched over thirteen pounds, a box of Egyptian cigarettes eight pounds and a tin 0f condensed milk two pounds 5s. Just before General Townshend's force en- l tered Kut a large consignment of
 warm clothing had arrived, the gift of the British Red Cross society. This 1 was most opportune and probably saved many lives. The garrison had i only the summer kit they stood Up l in

AFTER THREE YEARS
New Britain Testimony Remains Un-
 shaken.

Time is the best test of truth. Here is a New Britain story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us.
 Mrs. A. Cowlam, 84 John street, New Britain, says: "Off and on for years I have had more or less trouble from my kidneys. At times the pain Tn the small of my back became very severe. Doans Kidney Pills did me great deal of good. The pain and soreness were soon removed and I felt better generally" Statement given August g, 1912D
 On April IS, 1916 Mrs. Cowlam said: My recommendation for Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good and I don't hesitate to again endorse them. They are a good medicine and worthy of the highest praise"
