CEN'L TOWNSHEND SURRENDERS $
TO TURKS AT KUT-EL- AmARA
after STUBBORN RESISTANCE
Relief Army Fails to Arrive and after Days
of Calamity and FOrtitude TOwnshend Destroying All His
Guns and Munitions Submits to the Inevitable

London, April 30.-Another phase Of
the Inflated British campaign in
Mesopotamia has closed with the sur
render of Gen. Townshend and the
garrison at Kut-El- Amara on the
Tigris river, about 10 miles below
Bagdad. Some 10000 men in all laid
down their arms to the Turks after
destroying all their guns and NUM-
tons.
The following official announcement
was made Saturday:
After a resistance protracted for
143 days and conducted with a gall
lantry and fortitude that will be for
ever memorable, Gen. 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"
The British Mo3opotamian cam
paign, waged along the Tigris from
the Persian gulf northward almost to
the gates of Bagdad, had as its chief
aim the capture of that ancient city.
To divert Turkish forces from Gllipoli
was another object. When almost at
the point of achieving its main oh
Ject late last year. the effort broke
down at Ctesiphon, r. miles from Bag
dad, when the Turks. alarmed for the
safety Of the town Of tabled memory,
rushed on reinforcements. inflicted a
defeat upon the British and compelled
their retreat 10 miles down the Ticris
TO NJ r nv,
soon had them securely bottled up.
Supplies Gave Out
Gen. Townshend held out for l43
days. his supplies grew steadily love-
as he waited the relief army which,
first under Gen. Aylmer and then I'M
der Gen. Gorringe, battled its way up
the Tigris toward him. This army en-
countered strong positions Of the
Turks below Kut on both sides of the
river, and although several Of these
were carried. it has not been able 20
work much closer to the belea guered
garrison than a score of miles because
of the stubborn Turkish resistance and
flood conditions on the Tigris
A recent official Turkish communication
said the position Of the British at Kut-el
Amara was critical, and that they were
expecting to receive small supplies OF
food by aeroplane. An official statement
received yesterday from London. reported
that last effort to send supplies to the
garrison had failed. A ship laden with
supplies had been sent up the Tigris. bu,
it grounded four miles east of the city
No official figures have been given out
as to the number of troops which sci
forth from the perciap IN,
Der of 1914 on the expedition which has
now ended in surrender. Unofficially the
number has been estimated as high as
5O,Ooc Whatever its original strength the
force has been reduced by losses in bat
tie.
1t was early in December of last yeal

dad, retreated to Kut- el-Amara. Since
that time it had been besieged by q large
army of Turks. cut off from all commu-
nication with the outside world except by
wireless. During long sieges the Brit
ish beat off many attacks by the Turks,
and the Turks at length desisted from
their efforts to take the place by storm
and decided to starve out the force. From
time to time Gen. Townshend sent reports
that all was well, but it had been known
of late that the situation was becoming
desperate one for the British.
For some time after the expedition
started out from the Persian gulf it was
steadily successful. 1t pushed up the
Tigris and Euphrates until. in Septem-
Der of 1915, it defeated the Turks in an
encounter at Kut-el-Amara, which later
was to be the scene of the British sur
render. Then the invaders pushed ON to
within a few miles of Bagdad, their goal
They defeated Turks at Ctesiphon, but
later the Turks, reinforced. compelled
them to retire to Kut-el-Amara.
Fierce Struggle
The battle at Ctesiphon was one of
the fercest of the many hard strug-
giles in which the expeditionary force
teer outnumbered SIX times by the
Ottoman troops. Four times Gen.
Townshend rallied his men and led
them in their charge. In the retreat
to kut FL -Amara, not only did Gen.
Townshend ward off the pursuing
Turks with comparatively small loss
es, but he succeeded in taking with
him all his wounded. A few weeks af-
ter it became evident that the army at
kut- Ell -Amara would be unable to
fight it's way out, a relief expedition
was dispatched. This force encount-
cred comparatively little opposition in
the early stages of the march up the
river but as it drew nearer kut-El-
Amara, it was opposed by Turks
massed on both sides of the Tigris be-
low the invested town. Several strik-
ing victories have been countered by
the Turks so successfully that the adj
vance was stopped. Throughout the
Mesopotamian campaign the fighting
has been heavy and the losses severe
On April II it was admitted the Tigrfs
army up to that time har lost 500
men. Since then there have been sew
eral important battles between the
Turks and the relief expedition.
The surrender of Gen. Townshend
is one of the few instances Of the war
in which an entire fighting unit Of
important numbers has laid down it's
arms. No other French or British
force so large has surrendered
Up to the last Gen. Townshend kept
the hope that he would be relieved.
King George sent a message of en-
enlargement to him a month ago and
in message sent on April 7. the gem
eral said he expected to be relieved
shortly. He assured the British expe-
dition that he would hold out to thu
limit of endurance but the recent re-
verses suffered by the army which was
attempting to rescue him apparently
! made the situation a hopeless one.
