A WAR DRAMA BEHIND THE SCENES.

Clouded under the strict military censorship,
one of the most spectacular and dramatic
stories of the great European war is now being
enacted behind the scenes in Asia.
1t is the British attempt to relieve the be
leaguered forces at Kut-E Amara, under Gen.
Aylmer
Little is known of the situation save to the
tight-hpped military chiefs who are moving
armies ike chessmen. Aylmer's force a few
weeks ago was striking hard at the Turks in
an endeavor to reach Bagdad, but met two
successive defeats at the hands of superior
numbers and was forced to fall back on Kut-
El-Amara, where it is now surrounded.
Then began relief expedition of the sort
for which the British are famous. Today s
dispatches brought the news that the relief
expedition has been defeated in battles with
the Ottoman army in Mesopotamia, but that
does not mean that the cause is lost The Brit
ish are famous for these expeditions
One need only to remember two such we'll
known names as Lucknow and Ladysmith to
recall brilliant exploits. The relief of Lady
smith, because of the not far distant date, and
because in some ways it is much akin to the
present situation, is of interest now
During the South African war of 1S991901
Ladysmith was besieged by strong force of
Beers The complete investment was effected
III November, 1899, and it was is days later
when the relief expedition finally fought
through and saved the British force. In that

10000 had given to military history one of the

Anti-Orienta legislation of the character
proposed in Congress is undoubtedly danger

WHAT ABOUT THAT ECONOMY
PROGRAM?

The Territorial grand jury criticism of the
.Iemendous overhead expense" of city gov
ernment remains mistaken by the partial ans
wers of the mayor and the former city engineer
AS to the mayor, his reply merely is denial
of the figures shown in the grand jury report
He didn't go into details, and the public does
not and will not expect-li to do so. To put
it mildly, personal graphing with difficult
problems of municipal finance is not the
mayors forte.
The former city engineer Mr.. Whitehouse,
who was in charge of the road department
when the heavy overhead charges complained
of by the grand jury were incurred goes more
into detail in voicing his denial. But his
figures would carry more weight if the tax
payers could be sure that Engineer Whitehouse
knows what he means and means what he says.

EDITOR

He has been accused in open board meeting
and by the chairman of the road committee
-of repudiating a very important report which
he himself drafted
1t was only last week that this report IN
ferentially recommending concrete paving, was
read to the board, and at the end OF the read
ing Supervisor Shingle arose and said that
Whitehouse now declines to stand by the re
port. No reason was given then for the engI-
neers action. but the Star Bulletin has been
informed that Whitehouse wrote the report at
the insistenee of two supervisors who favor
concrete, only later to change his mind.
Now it requires no charge of Interior motives
whatever to make such-an incident as this dis
credit Engineer Warehouses; figures on other
things And it requires nothing but this Incl
dent and a knowledge of the former city engl-
nee's failure to take cleancut attitude IN
other cases. to discredit generally his denial OF
the grand iury's charges.
The present supervisors have been III office
year. They have, thanks to the recent leSls-
lation changing the municipal election date,
something more than year yet to serve
They took office on distinct pledges of econ
omy Those pledges, if the figures not only of
the grand jury Out ol TIE Guy duultol t1e 'ol
rect, have not yet made good. Unquestionably
by this time the supervisors and the mayor
should have at least made real start toward
an economical administration Yet in answer
to every criticism of their money-spending in
1915, they have to offer only that they will
economic in 1916, and that they will have a
bigger income this year than last.
Mr.. Mayor, and Gentlemen of the Board of
Supervisors, what reductions are being made
in overhead expenses? The Star Bulletin will.
