The morning papers express some

although it is unanimously affirmed
that Wednesdays Turkish official COM

AS to the size of the beleagured
force there is no certain Information.
According to statement made in par
lament the division originally under
Gen. Townshend's command was sup
plemented by other troops when it ad-
vanced on Ctesiphon. But his force has
since been diminished by at least 6,10U
casualties. The Daily Mail says:
"One hundred and twenty EIGHT days
have passed since the Turks began the
siege of kut-el-Amara and severed
Gen. TownShend and the remnant of
his division from the outside world. For
1928 days he has looked down the TfgriS

his condition we have been permitted

But Gordon, in the last hours of his
epic defense at khartum, ordered the
bands to play merrily. And all great
soldiers have shown this spirit in days
of danger.
'Kut-el-A Amara is one of the dreariest
habitations in the world. The floods
and weather are now worse than ever,
and this means immensely increased
difficulties for the relief force. The de-
lay is the more serious because in every
besieged camp there must come time
when the stores and supplies run low.
