London, April 29, 4:45 D. m.-Ma- jor General Charles Townshend, com mander of the British forces be- sieged at Kut- -E1-Amara, Mesopo- tamia, by Turkish forces since last De- cember has surrendered. This in- formation was contained in a British official statement issued this after noon.
 The official statement added that -Een. Townshend destroyed all his guns and munitions before surrender ing.
 The British force which surrender ed at Kut-El-Amara amounts to about ten thousand men.
 Hunger Big Factor.
 General Townshend probably was driven to surrender to avoid starvation Of his force. A recent official Turkish communication said the position of the British at Kut-El-Amara was crit ical and that they were expecting to receive small supplies of food by aero plane. An official statement. received yesterday from London showed that a last effort to send supplies to the gar rison had failed. A ship laden with supplies had been sent up the Tigris. but it grounded about four miles east of the city. r
 Less than a score of miles away, on the banks of the Tigris below the city is a relief army which for months has been attempting to reach the beseiged forces of Gen. Townshend. A few weeks ago several victories were an- nounced and hope ran high in Eng land that the mission would succeed Of late, however, the Turks resist ance 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 No- vember of 1914 on the expedition which has now ended in surrender. Unofficial1y the number has been es- timated as high as fifty thousand.

They were at once attacked with hand grenades and prevented from coming out and then dispersed. Our artillery caused the explosion of a CepOC OI III LIlc SdlIlo region.
