Your SUCCESS.

Success for you is not the same
thing as success for other people.
Raphaers success was to paint great
pictures, and Shakespeare's success
was to write great plays, and the sue
cess Of another may be trimming u

to be successful is to do the thing
you are fitted to do, in the best way
you are capable of doing it.

Four months of what is now known
10 have been a hopeless fight against
starvation led to the surrender Of the
beleaguered garrison under General
Townshend. Almost within range, en-
camped less than twenty miles down
the Tigris, was a relief army and ships
laden with supplies to revive the wan
ing strength of the brave men. Cen
cral Townshend held out until these
too failed.

What happened in the three terrible
weeks since can only be guessed at.
Bagdad Object of British.
The British Mesopotamian campaign
waged along the Tigris, had as its CHER
aim the capture of Bagdad. To divert
Turkish forces from Gallipoli was an
other object. When almost at the
point of achieving it's main object late
last wear the effort broke down at
Ctesiphon, eighteen miles from Bagdad
when the Turks, alarmed for the safety
of the town ot tabled memory. rushed
I'D renforcements. inflicted a defeat
upon the British and compelled their
retreat 10 miles down the Tigris tt
Ku:-el-Amara. where the Turks soor
hAl them securely bottled up.
General Townshend held out for l45
days, his supplies steadily growing
lower as he awaited the relief army
which, first under General Aylmer an'
then under General Corning, battled IL
way up the Tigris toward him.
Relief Force Almost Succeeds.
When the relief army started up the
river il seemed it would sweep all re

Starvation Turks Weapon.

The besieging Turks attacked the be-
lcaguered British time after time and
were beaten Off. The defence finally
became so successful that the Turks
decided on campaign Of starvation.
They intrenched outside the city, com
handing every road and the river.
Foraging expeditions were entrapped
and slaughtered. When the food in
the city itself was exhausted the end
was in sight.
For some time after the Townshend
expedition began its advance il was

defeated at Kut-el-Amara in Septem-
Der, 1915; then at Ctesiphon. Four
times. after victory had been won
here Townshend led his men in des-
peratc charges against fresh Turkish
reinforcements, sent down supposedly
from Bagdad.
Throughout the Mesopotamian cam
paign the fighting has been heavy and
the losses severe. On April ii it was
admitted the Tigris army had lost
300 men TO that time. There have
since been several important battles
between the Turks and the relief cx-

against from $4,000 10 100000 Turks
seemed more fooihardy than valorous.

out as to the number Of troops sent
from the Persian Gulf in November Of

officially il has been estimated as high
as 10000, but il was probably consid-

original strength, the force suffered
severe losses in battle.
