THREATENED
RESIDENCES
WHILE HIGH WIND WAS BLOWING
MOSS BRADY HOME CAUGHT
FIRE LATE YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON.

Fire which started from an unknown
cause almost runined Mr., ana MIS-
Moss Brady's home yesterday after
noon, at All North Washington st.
The fire started in the kitchen de-
partment, and Uncle George Henry
Bruce who lives next door, discovered
the fire before the occupants of the
Brady home did, and turned in the
alarm. The department made hur-
ried response and turned two streams
of water upon the home. The wind
was blowing high at the time and ad-
Joining property was endangered. How.
ever, the fire was kept in control
so we'll that burning brands were not
waited by the winds to adjoining prop
erty.
The Brady home consisted of about
eight rooms, it was beautifully fur
nished and Mrs. Brady had taken a
great pride in her collection of cut
glass and hand-painted china. She lost
large portion of her ware and the
furniture and carpets in the home
were practically a total loss. There
was an immense amount of water used
in fighting the flames and everything
in the home that drench would ruin,
was ruined.
| Thrae teachers in the city schools
roomed there They are Misses Eleanor
McPheeters Mary Spencer and Sadie
Gaskius. Their loss was practically
total, with no insurance. Mrs. Brady
and Miss Spencer were at the home
when the fire started.
/ The home was partially insured.

EXPECTATION
THE NEW YORK PHlLHARMO ONlC

TIoN in TWO CONCERTS HERE
FRIDAY.

Friday the people of this city had
an opportunity of listening to one Of
the greatest musical organizations
in the world. That many people
failed to take advantage of this op-
portunity is to be regretted, as in all

many years before it does So
The two programs rendered by the
orchestra were beyond criticism, and
the music lovers of the city and
vicinity will long retain pleasant
memories of the grand selections,
and the manner in which they were
interpreted.

best in music, and, while there was
deficit to be met, they came uE
smiling yesterday morning and sta
ted that they are glad they took the
chance. even if they have to MAKE
good the difference between the cos'
of production and the amount taker
in. The orchestra met every eXpec
tation of the audience. The soloist'

artists. maintained the reputation
which has been attached to it fol
over seventy years.

Stransky and Manager Leifels, wer'
guests at the Country Club, wher'

Repeated rumors are reaching this

paragraph: PROGRESS!

ways, il has now under projection
and even partially under construction

of Ardmore that will make motoring a
pleasure instead of continuous series
of "high places

advocates will be present at the meet
! ing tomorrow night who will tell in a
few words why we should have good

men to manage the county's resources
men who will give them Good Roads
and Progress!"

VICINITY OF TRAUMONT.
SAY GERMANS LOST
Paris Reports Say That German At
tacks at Traumont Were Defeated
With Heavy Losses and French Ar
tillery Dispersed Germans.

In the Verdun region, the Germans
have resumed pronounced agrees
i've, delivering vigorous attacks In
the vicinity of Traumont farm, east

London, April 29.-Major
GeneralCharles Townsend and
the British troops at kut-el-
Amara have surrendered to the
Turks. General Townsend's
forces have been beleaguered
at Kut-e-Amara in Mesopota-
mia by the Turkish forces since
early in December, 1915. An
official statement announcing
the surrender was issued today.
In December, last year,
Townsend's army beaten in bat
tie at Ctesiphon, eighteen miles
below Bagdad, retreated to
Kut-el-Amara. Since then they
have been besieged by a large
army of Turks and cut off from
all communication with the out
side world, except by wireless.
During the siege the British
beat off many attacks by the
Turks. They defended them
selves so successfully, that the
Turks gave up the idea of con-
quest and put their efforts to
starving the British out.
From time to time, Townsend
sent reports that all was well,
but it has been known lately
that the situation was becoming
desperate for the British.
Townsends surrender is one of the
few instances of the present war in
which an entire fighting unit of i'm
portant numbers laid down arms. 1t
was one of the largest bodies of en-
tente troops that has ever surren'
dered.
Up to the last, Townsend kept alive
the hope that he would be relieved
King George sent a message OF en-
couragement to him month ago and
in a message sent April 7, the general
said he expected to be relieved shortly
He declared that he would hold out
to the limit of endurance.
The Mesopotamian campaign has
been one of the most difficult the
British army has undertaken during
the war. The torrid climate, together
with the lack of fresh water and
transportation difficulties made great
calls on the endurance of the troops
Moreover the positions held by the
Turks were formidable.
An official statement said that the
exact number of troops who surren
dered was S,979, of which six thousand
were Indian troops.
The official statement adds thai
Townsend destroyed all guns and mu
nitions before surrendering. He prob
ably surrendered to avoid starvation
Of his forces.
