Ijm<K^ Korto Surrender* to Turk* in
Mnwpol??la ^
A not tier phase of the HI fa ted Brit

ed with t Ii4* surrender of (Jen. Town
shend and the garrison at Kut-el-Ama
ra, <in (ho Tigris It Ivor, about 130
miles below Bagdad. Homo 10,000 men
In nil laid down their arms to the
'links, it ft ?>r having destroyed all their
gun* mid iiiuiiUIoiin.
.The British MoNO|KitaiulH campaign
was waged along the Tigris from the
Persian (lulf northward almost to the
gales of Bagdad, having as Its ehlef
ii I in the rapture of that aneieiit rlty.
To divert Turkish forces from <?alli

(Jen. Tow tinhorn! held out for lift
days, his supplies steadily growing low

hattlcd It* wiiv up the Tigris towards
htm This army encountered strong
posit Ions of the Turks below Kut-el
Amara, on both aides of the river, and,
alt hough several of thOMr wen* carried,
It has not heei i able to work much
closer to the beleaguered garrison than
a score of miles because of the stubborn
Turkish resistance and Hood conditions
on the Tigris.

London. April i!f>. ? Major (>eneral
Charles Townshend, eommnnder of the
British for<vs beslege<l at Kut-ol-Ama
ra, .Mesopotamia, by Turkish forces
since lust I>eceml>er, has surrendered.
This information was contained in a
Hrltl-sh official statement Issued this
afternoon.
The following olllcial announcement
was made :
"After a resistance protracted for
II." days and conducted with a gal
lantry and fortitude that will be for
ever memorable, <?en. Townshend has
been coni|M'lled. by the Una I exhaus
tion of his supplies, to surrender.
"Before doing so lie destroyed Ills
guns ami munitions.
"The force under him consists of
'J.UTu British tn?ops. of all ranks and
services, and sonic six thounsand In
dian troops and their followers."
The eventual surrender of (General
Townshend had been ex|H?cted since!
the failure of Mm* forces under Lieut,
(Jen. (torringe and <!en. Keary to break
through the Turkish position at. San
ilayaat, just below Kut-el-Amara, on
the Tigris River, and the unsuccessful
attempt to send the blockaded army
provisions by steamers. It had been
touch ami k o with the simill British
force for many days.
The position of Kut-el-Amara, which
is on ,i peninsula extending into the
Tigris ltiver, made it impossible to
send supplies by air, as there was no
Jandiuu place for aeroplanes.

The lirst thouHands of Russians ar
r I v??*i at Toulon from Ualny In. the
lirst week of April. Klahorate precau
t Ions were taken to prevent the leant
inkling of their coming reaching the
outside world. All of them were dress
ed in civilian clothes and were with
out uniforms or equipment of any
kind.
It was explained to such civilian
residents oi Toulon as caught sight of
them that they were Serbian refuge
brought form Durazzo and Soufarl, A?
hunia.
Altogether, this first allotment oi the
Russian expeditionary force numbered
two brigade* ? about 10,000 or 12,000
men. They were taken by rnll to
Camp de Ma Illy, a big military train
ing ground in the Aube department,
near Arcus-sur-Auhe, about 100 miles
east of Paris and about the same dbv
tance from the Verdun front.
There they were met by those of
their otliccrs who had not traveled with
them, and also by several hundred Ser
bian officers, who. have been assigned
to commands in the Russian expedl*
tlouary force. (The Serb and Russian
languages are almost blent leal. \
Russian uniforms, made In France,
rifles ami accoutrements were dealt out
to them, and within a few hours of
their arrival the 'Serbian refugees" had
been transformed Into full-fledged sol
diers of the Czar. The greater part of
them are reservists and consequently
trainerTsohHers. There are many young
men among them, however, who have
never done military service, and sev
eral months will be required to get
these latter in slmi>e for the front.
1 hiring the past three weeks a cor
don of French sentries has surrounded
1 tnelr camp, i>errnltting no Russian to
leave and no stranger to enter. Why
the French government, with the arri
val at Marseilles of the second |>ortion,
or 20.(HX), of the first contingent of '50.
<KM), abandon* d ? the policy of conceal
ment and iKTinitted it to be known that
Russians had arrived is not known to
The World's informants.
Meanwhile thousands upon thou
sands of Russian trooj?s, drawn from
Siberian contingents^, arc assembled in
Manchuria and Silwria. awaiting the
trans|>orts which will carry them to
join their comrades in France. The
World Is informed that French and
Hritish manufacturers already have
completed and delivered 250.(MH> ?<un

T?he census bureau l?as combined its
tlgiin^ Ktitlien1*! in t h?? 1010 census with
the cejMirlH <>f tlu? immigration bureau
for the years since then to show that
there are a total of li, 003.770 persona
of German hlrtli in t IiIh country.
These figures arc surprising because
they an> so small, but when one ex
auilnea Into the immigration figures for
the last few decadct) It Is elearly evi
dent that the uumlHtr of iieraons t?f
German hlrth could not he much ahove
flint ti^u r??. In view of the proi>ortlon
ately small German immigration since
the beginning Germany's intensified
Industrial development and her careful
and wise provisions to make, life in the
fatherland as attractive to her people
as In the lands oversea.
The figures for (ierman immigration
during 1011, 1012, 101.1 and 1014 are
significant They show '24.7N1 In 1011,
20, (Ml in 1012. 20.145 in 1013, and
28.40X in 1014. Mince August, 1011,
there have been very few (Icrmnns
admitted to this country ? not because
they wouldn't In* admitted if they came,
J)ut because they didn't come. The he
ginning of the war ended immigration
of course.
The population in this country whose
ancestors were of (ierman origin Is, of
course, very much greater than thoee
of German birth. The census bureau
estimates the number at 8,282,018, and
shows that these people are found
largely In the states of New York, Illi
nois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Michigan, New Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio
and Missouri. The greatest pro] >ort ion
ate population of those of (ierman an
cestry is found In the Middle Atlantic
States, where in 1010 they constituted
ll.fi per cent of the total ]>opUlation.
Throughout the whole country those of
(ierman ancestry formed J) per cent of
the population.
On account of the great war, and
because of our many troubles with
Germany since its Inception the matter
has been a subject of grave and some
what overponderous discussion in au
gust and learned bodies, which have
failed mostly to reckin with the fact
that the imputation of German ancestry
in tills country is so large it consti
tutes nearly one-tenth of the entire
population. It also has failed to recklu
with the fact, am) fftct it la, that the
larger |?art of thla population of tier
many ancestry in removed from the
fatherland by two or even three or four
generation that some of the oldeat
families In thla country are Herman
In their origin aiul have l>eeu enrtdled
