He declared that he had promised

BERLIN, (va wireless to Sayville)
May -Four British generals and
$40 English and Indian officers were
among the prisoners taken by the
Turks at kut-El-Amara, according to
constantInopIe dispatches today.
British losses in the Mesopotamian
fighting In March and April were
estimated at 10000.
The booty taken At kut-Ei-Amara
has not yet been counted, said the
dispatch, "but among the prisoners
are four generals, 240 British officers
and 270 indian officers. The Turkish
commander in chief, Hail Vasha, al
lowed General Townshend to keep his
sword"
When flags were displayed in Con-
stantinople In celebration OF the vic
tory at kut.EtAmara, it was observed
that several British commercial
houses flew the Turkish flag.
General Townshend first offered to
surrender the town Of kut-EI-Amara
with all the British artillery and
! more than 5000, 600 In cash, on con-
his forces with ali military honors, a
Turkish news agency reported. Tho
Turks declined this offer, Wheneupon
General Tovwnsl4end made an uncon-
ditionAI surrender.
German critics, commenting on the
British surrender at kut-El-Amara,
recalled that today Is the first an
niversary OF the date on which Lord
Kitchener was quoted as saying that
he did not know when the war
would end, but that it would begin

elapsed 1t was pointed out here, the
central empires won their great
victory over the Russians, conquered
Serbia, Montenegro and nearly all
Albania and drove their lines In close
about verdun. In the same period
the allies were forced to quit the
Dardanelles campaign and scored no
important success on the western
front, and the British were defeated
In MesopotamSa and confronted with

Ell PASO, Texas. May 1.-The
question of Withdrawing the punitive
expedition from Mexico, on which
may depend peace or war between
the United States and Mexico, was up
to President Wilson today.
A rapid fire exchange OF kilograms
between Secretary of War Baker at
Washington, and Generals Scott and
Funston in El Paso, this morning,
not fully decided on its policy. Ma
jor Sample, commandant at Colnm-
bus, N. NJ, was called into play dur
ing the night and ordered to obtain
General Pershing's opinion on the
Carranzista demand for immediate
withdrawal ts-'----T $,
Scott is said to be lukewarm on
this issue before the international
conference here. Funston is strongly
against yielding to the Mexican de-
mand. Both, however, put the mat
ter squarely up to Washington.
Secretary Baker was reported to
have asked the American ENJOYS
what effect withdrawal would have
on the border and in Mexico. The
two generals replied in a long code
message, understood to have con-
tanned the opinion that withdrawal
of the United States troops, would
undoubtedly lead to renewed border
raids.
If Scott and Funston receive in
structions from Washington in time,
their second conference with Gen
eral Obregon and the Mexican envoys,
may be held today. Washingtons
reply is not expected to be a peremp-
tory refusal of Obregon's demands.
Further conferences are expected to
be held. 1t was also assumed from
President Wilson's previous state
ments on the subject, that the army
would be withdrawn If its retention
meant war with Mexico.
Prointerventionists have placed
documents in the hands Of General
Scott tending to show Carranza sol
diers would not cooperate to police,
but are themsel looting American
properties in Mexico. w. H. Stuler,
