(ENERALJ TOWNSEND IS NOW HERO OF BRITAIN Iis Struggle Against Ottoman Troops 'Has Been oniarka'e and Success ful. London, Feb. 13.--The remarkable stand which has been made by Major General Chas. V. F. Townsend and his comparatively small body of British troops at Kuat-EI-Amara, Mespotamia, where for nearly two months they have been beseiged by a large army of Turks, has raised General Townshend to a high place in the esteem of the English public. The far away war theatre has -been watched with the deepest interest by those at home since the British repulsed the Turks at Ctesiphon, and began their retreat to Kut-El-Amara and the exploits of Gen. Townshend have occupied much space in the newspapers, some mill tary critics hailing him as one of the most brilliant soldiers the empire has produced. During 'the long siege Gen. Towns hend has beaten off all attacks of the Ottoman troops and kept his little force intact, Every dispatch which has come through from the command er has been read with deepest inter est by the public that has feared that the relieving army, which is said to have been held up by natural ob it.acles, would (reach Kut.El-Amara too late. Gen. Townshend's recent re port that he had suflicient supplies for his soldiers partly relieved the minds of the British people, who now are anxiously awaiting the outcome. When the full story is told of the battle of Ctesiphon, the retreat to Kut ElI-Amara and the siege, it is expected by the British to make as thrilling a chapter as any in the history of the world war, and the name of Gen. Townshend will occupy an important place in that story. The conflict at Ctesiphon was desperate work and the general himself fought as flercely as any of his soldiers, who that day put to. flight a body of Ottoman troops said to have been six times their number. There were critical moments and it was at these times that Gen. Towns hend showed himself to be a cool and resourceful commander and an able tactician. Four times he rallied his men and led them in their charges. Military critics declare . that the victory of Ctesiphon was a magnifl ent one but that the retreat to Kut will equal if not surpass it as a suc cessful military achievement under disadvantages of an extraordinary kind. It is stated that not only did Gen. Townshend ward off the Turks, but he did so with a loss insignificant un der the circumstances and he suc ceeded in taking with him all his wounded. It has been declared that the men under him would follow Gen. Townshend anywhere. Gen. Townshend is said to have forced himself to a high command through sheer merit. When he was only a lieutenant he became a hard student of Napoleon lie studied ev ery wvork on the military theories and practices of that great general. Gecn. Townshend long before 19141 hmad situdhied the possibility of wvar with Gi(ermnany. lie always held that when war did come G reat Britain wouldi not he able to rely solely on her nav'y, but wouldl need to have a great army ready for the field. Believing that this country would require an army of millions not thousands, lie favored comimplsory service, lie ex iressed the opinIon that Germany wvould made tihe attack on France andI eventually on England-through Belgium, and many times surveyedi what he thought would be the coming battlefield. The general is 54 years old. ACTr QUICKLY. Delay Has Been Dangerous ini L~aurens. Do the right thing at the right time. Act quickly in time of danger.

Miembers Thinik Bi'a: Will Need Much Amending. Vashlingion, Feb. 12.-The proposals Df the National Guard association for federalization of the state troops were before the military committees of con gress today in the form of a bill drafted by representatives of the as sociation at the request of the senate committee. The regulations contem plated are given force by a provision limiting participation in the federal pay feature to officers, men or organ izations complying with certain specd lied requirements. The scale of annual pay proposed Is as follows: Major generals $800; brigadiers, $700; colonels, $600; lieutenant col onels, $550; nnjors, $525; captains, $500; first lieutenants $300; second lieutenants, $250. Enlisted men would be paid on the basis of 25 per cent of the pay rates of the regular army, a private receiving approximately $15 a year. The maximum number of troops provided for by the bill is 500 for each congressional district or a total peace strength of approximately 200,000, an increase of 70,000 over the present strength of the national guard. They would form a separate branch of the regular army in time of war when called 1lo .the federal service. Tihe net would take effect July I, 19161. The bill provides also for .rgaUiza ion of at junior guard composed of boys bet.ween twelve and 18, available for active service only after every oth1 er class of militia had been called out. The juniors would be divided into two classes, cadets, or those of lifteen and above, and cadets of the second class those less than fifteen. An enlistment contract would be re quired under which the soldiers would bind himself to serve the federal gov ernment "within or without the con tinental limits of the United States" for a period of two years or until dis charged should the guard be called out at any time during his three years enlistment period. The enlistment period of any soldier whose time was close to expiration when his regiment was called out would be extendee auto matically. It is proposed to do away with choice of ollcers by election, and commissions would be limited to spc ified classes and granted only after examinations by the war department. Promotion during active service would be made by the president from the commissioned force or ranks of the organization, dependent upon the grade to be filled. This clause is aim ed at appointments from civil life. KEEP YOURSELF UP TO SCRATCO Fortify Your System Before It Is Weak. ened by His.
