Town On ,the Tigris, Once Little Kaown, Das Attained Importance. "The remarkable achievement of the English General, Townshend, in with-. standing the siege of the Turkish army at Kut -el -Amara since early in December will ensure this insignificant town, which is situated ou the east bank of the Tigris River, a conspicu- ous place in the geography of the world war when the history of the great struggle is written," says a bul- letin of the National Geographical Society of Washington. "Before the English army was hemmed in at this unhealthy coaling station for steamers prying between the great date port of Basra and the important city of Bagdad, Kut -el - Amara, 100 miles south-east of the latter city, was nothing more or less than one of the myriad out-of-the- way places 'to fortune and to fame unknown.' Floods Not at Height. "The town, which at the beginning of the war was a Turkish post con- trolling the lower reaches of the Tig- ris is situated at the juncture of the old river channel and the new, the former forming the still navigable Shert-el-Hai Canal, flawing into the Euphrates. The' Tigris and th° Euphrates, which approach within 85 miles of each other at Bagdad, are nearly 100 miles apart at this point. At Basra they converge and form the Shatt-el-Arab, GO miles from the Per- sian Gulf. "All of the meagre accounts whic.h have come tram this zone of the war in recent months 'have emphasised the suffering which the high waters have caused the European troops. Un- happily, these sufferings have not yet reached their limit, for the Tigris, which begins to rise in November, is not at the maximum stage -LION' the latter part of May. Then the plains become vast marshlands and the inland sea is dotted with islands of date palm groves. "Vflieti the Tigris is in flood in the vicinity of Kutsel-Amara it flows at the rate of four miles an hour and brings down from the headwaters quantities of :mice which is deposited in banks and shoals in the river bed, resulting in .frequent changes in the channel. "Numerous abandoned canals weave their way through this section of Mesopotamia and through the country lying to the north-west of the Tigris, between the river and the foot. hills of Persia. Garden Spot of Ancients. "In a former age an extensive irri- gation system made this land a won- derful garden of fruits and flowers. Centuries of disuse have caused the canals to become choked with silt and refuse, converting much of th once productive district into miasma tic marshes, which are a menace to health and an offence to sight and smell. Wherever there is an effort nt cultivation however, the husbandman is rewarded like the farmer of tbe Nile delta. The finest dates in the world are raised n short distance to the soubh-east of. Kut -el -Amara and exported from Basra. Rice, wheat, barley, roses and licorice root are grown. Herds of licireee, sheep and goats constitute the chief wealth of the nomadic tribes. "When the veterans of the Kut -el - Amara campaign return to England a large percentage will bear as scars of the siege the deep, disfiguring `Bagdad date mark' or 'Aleppo but- ton,' a painful, but not dangerous disease prevalent' in Mesopotamia. The `mark' is a boil which attacks the face, neck, hands and soles of the feet. Natives are said to escape with one sore, as a rule but Europeans often are afflicted with several, which do not heal for a year. The marks are of two varieties, the male and the female, the first a dry, scaly sore the other a running boil. If the survivors should be called upon to make to sec- ond campaign.through Aeiatic Turkey in years to come they will be immune, as the `button' seldom appears a sec- ond time on the same person," . a • 1.6S3 OF APPETITE The Magistrate -So you admit making these spurious pound not ?

Sivedish Professor Says Germans Are GFRPTANY WON Not. Told Truth About War. . The ithpression that the German people are living isolated from the rest of the world in dense ignorance of what is happening beyond their boundaries has been confirmed by the Swedish professor Patrik Haglund, who visited Germany recentlp on a tour of observation. "The people in the shops, in the streets, in the re- staurant know nothing," says pro- fessor Haglund. When he rnet old friends or made new ones they "thor- oughly drained" himat news., He found that the censorship kept the people "in ignorance of everything that Might give rise to inconvenient reflections." The papers contained only official war news, and all of it favorable to German arms, Picking up a copy of the Frankfurter Neueste Nachrichteu at a railway station, Professor Haglund was amazed to see spread all over the front page an article entitled, "Assassination in War," which told its readers how the British Government had murdered ten or more Englishmen whose of- fence was that they had shown sjen pathy for Germany. The newspapers were filled with propaganda articles, in which a speci- men was a panegyric upon the new Belgium as ruled by German army officers and their civilian aids, "which gave anybody with an ordinary sense of justice little more," says Professor Haglund, with reserve, "than a feel- ing of discomfort." That the German people had no doubt of the satisfactory prosecution of the War by the Government and its successful issue was plain from a talk the professor had with a doctor about the value of the German mark in Sweden. It circulates there at a discount. The German doctor when so informed asked how the Swedes could be so mad as to depreciate the mark, and he was dumfounded when told that it was not considered to be worth any more. WOULD OPEN DYKES OR BECOME VASSAL OF TEUTON. King Alfonso Rae Done Much Work for Relief of British Prisoners, The Liverpool Daily Post possesses in its editor-in-chief, Sir Edward Russell, one of the most capable and experienced journalists in Great Britain, whose weekly article, entitled "From a Club Window," it is nob too much to say pro -vides a mine of in- formation for other less well informed newspaper rnen. In his most recent contribution Sir Edward Russell directs attention to two countries which he is convinced must play an important part in the hnmediate future of Europe. In Sir JItiward's opinion, both Holland and Spaiq, in the next few months, may become of immense national worth, and he gives the following reasons for his belief: "Holland has no doubt quite legiti- mately made large sums out of the war in its earlier stages by being the main emporium for Germany. But the fall of the mark, in spite of strenuous Teutonic michinatione has forcibly impressed the commercial Dutch. Again, the recent outrages on Dutch vessels have more deeply stir- red the inhabitants of Holland against Germany bhan the English realize. Except during the Boer War, the Dutch haws always exhibited most friendly feelings toward England, combined with the greatest distrust of Germany. The Queen of Holland's marriage was not very popular, be- cause it created fear of Teutonic in- fluence at coure What Holland Dreads. "Some six years ago, when the pre - 11(1, the Dutch kipper classes talked of the war be- e tween England and Germany as be- - ing inevitable. If England was de- feated, one heard on all sides, thee Holland's only resource against an- nexation by Germany would be the opening of the dikes. That feeling has never changed during the present war, though Gernmuy has lavished money galore on its small neighbors. It con be said with emphasis that never before has our Foreigh Office been in such close relation to the Dutch Government "Before the cleie of the summer some interesting developments are quite possible in that land of sturdy men, hard thinkers and good livers. Nowhere, not even in Sweden, does one get better food or see larger in- dividual consumers of it than in that country of superlative cleanliness and geographical flatness. "Spain is becoming of increasing note because the strong pro -German feeling found in certain quarters at the outset of hostilities has sells -11)1Y abated in the last two months. The King of Spain has taken the place ear- lier occupied by President Wilson as the chief impartial onlooker upon hostilities. If Germany wants peace she will appeal for it through the in- tervention of Alfonso. He has kept aloof as far as possible, although the Roman Catholic influence of his court is probably pro -German. But he has done immense and unacknowledged work for the relief of prisoners, and when English relatives now try to trace a missing warrior the most strenuous efforts are made to assist them by the Spaniards. Portugal's declaration of war against Germany has made considerable stir in Madrid. I Spain mill not light, but she may have much to gain commercially if , she engineers peace. "Peace, or • rather the cessation of hostilities in the autumn, is now be- coming a practical matter of hypo- thetical discussion. It is because of this increasing potentiality that the , coming budget; is viewed with com-1 parative equanimity, for it is under- stood to be only a six months' budget, I And after that?

Brutal treatment of prisoters by deliberate torture and neglect is charged against Germany in a report issued at Washington by the Russian Embasy for distribution in the "Unit- ed States. The report is accompanied by 14 photographs of soldiers who were tor- tured because they would not divulge military secrets and soldiers who suf- fered wounds from explosive -or clumelum-bullets. There are also reproductions of two letters found on the bodies of dead Germans, in which the writers told of driving Russian prisoners before them in it charge to lessen their ovvn losses. Instances where wounded soldiers have met their death by being beat- en, stabbed, shot or negleeted are given in the report. "There were no baths in the camps," the report continues. The prisoners were obliged to remain un- washed and soon were covered with vermin. The food in the camps was describ- ed by the soldiers as uneatable and nauseating. "These conditions of bad nourishment; combined with the cold and damp, produced epidemic cholera, hunger typhus, and the spot- ted form of that disease in many of the camps." The report says that a large num- ber of the cripples who were repat- riated were not wounded M warfare, but by Germans in the camps. "On the night of the 7210 of May, in the camp of Witteberg, seven Rus- sian prisoners were shot for applying to the commandant for better faod." CHILDREN AND DISCIPLINE.
