DEFENCE Df KUT
LONDON. June 11. — (Correspond
snce of the Associated Press.) — The
straits to which General Townshend's
little army at Kut, the remnant of
the force which pushed almost to Hag
dad, was reduced before it surren
dered with the approval of the home
government are becoming only gradu
ally known in England. The latest
contribution to the annals of the
siege comes in a letter from Edmund
Candler, correspondent with the ex
pedition which attempted in the face
nf impossible weather conditions to
relieve Townshends beleaguered
troops.
For four months Townshend's men
were under almost constant fire, with
no possibility of making any safe pro
tection from the shells. During the
ast weeks of the siege the daily deaths
from fire and disease, caused mainly J
by hunger, averaged eight British and
twenty-one Indians. When Kut final
ly canltulated the regiments holding
the front line, which had been there
for a fortnight without relief, was too
weak to carry their equipment.
The real privations began in the
middle of February, especially in the
hospital. When milk gave out the hos
pital diet was corn flour or rice water
for the sick, and the ordinary sol
iiers’ rations' for the wounded. Until
April 21 there was a daily grain ra
tion of four ounces. From the 22nd
to the 25th the garrison subsisted on
two days’ reserve ration issued in
January, and from the 25th to the
23th on food dropped by aeroplanes.
The details Candler sends were ob
tained from wounded British officers,
who were permitted by the Turks to
join the main British force below Kut.
The writer adds:
“All the artillery, cavalry and trans
port animals had been consumed be
fore the garrison fell. One of the last
mules to be slaughtered had been on
three Indian frontier campaigns and
wore the ribbons round its neck. The
supply and transport butcher had sent
it back twice, refusing to kill it, but
in the end it had to go with the ma
chine gun mules. Mule flesh was
generally preferred to horse, and mule
fat supplied good dripping: also an
improvised substitute for lamp oil.
“The tobacco famine was a great
privation, but the garrison did not
find the enforced abstention cured
their craving, as every kind of substi
tute was there. An Arab brand, a
species similar to that smoked in In
dian hookahs, was exhausted early in
April. After that lime leaves wen
smoked or ginger or baked lea dregs

Recent xchanges from the outside
show that William Howard Taft and
other representative people who have
given thought to the subject have
. voiced the feeling that Alaska is of
i- the utmost strategical, as well as ma
, terial. Importance to the nation. On
the navy, particularly, will depend the
, future history of Alaska, and the peo
r pie of Seward have come to the con
, elusion that the most effective man
, ner of expressing the general opinion
, Is to have the voice of Alaska speak
forth. Therefore, during the Fourth
of July celebration this year will the
sentiments of Seward, the waterway
to the vast Alaska coal fields, be ex
pressed in a manner that will show
the whole country that Alaskans are
alive to the pressing needs.—dateway.

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
GIVES PIONEER LOTS.
The forestry service has donated a
plot of ground out near Mile Twenty
three for use of the local Igloo of the
Pioneers of Alaska. It is thought by
some of the Pioneers that a home will
be built on the ground later, but it is
almost certain that a dancing pavilion
VIII be placed there very soon, and the
ground is most likely to lie used as
Ilie site of the coming barbecue.
The piece of ground given is twelve
and a half acres at Roosevelt, in one
of the choicest spots on the lake
shore. Although it is given to the
Pioneers, it is intended to be a play
ground for all who desire it.—Seward
Gateway.
Seven men are reported to he taking
out a dump on Carl Whitman's ground
in the Chisana.
