ble To prevent this continuous line of Notifications has been built, closing the peninsula off from the European side. These Notifications all have been built under the supervi- sion of German military authorities and are well armed with the newest guns. An attacking fleet would have the disadvantage of having to proceed one by one past this point. BeyonI here the Dardanelles becomes wider, finally opening out just beyond the town of Gallipoli, from which the Flu ropean peninsula is named, into the sea of Marmora, at the further end of which lies Constantinople and the Golden Horn, connected by a much shorter strait, the Bosporus, with the Black sea.

THEY'RE ALL HER BOYS
AND WRITE HER REGULARLY

Indianapolis, Feb. 18-Mrs. Emma
Ellis received another letter today
from one of her boys. She gets let
ters of this kind every day and ans
wers them quickly. The letters are
from boys in the navy who have no
mothers, and they write to mothers
in Indianapolis who have adopted the
young bluejackets by mail.
The idea came to Mrs. Ellis half
year ago, but no one save the
mothers, commanding officers in the
training camps and the sailors them
selves knew about it until today, foS
Mrs. Ellis did not seek publicity.
II knew how lonesome motherless
boys in the navy must be-" said Mrs.
Ellis. II wrote to several command
ing officers in the navy training
stations asking for names of. boys
who have no mothers and who would
steadily grown. I never choose a
mother to write these boys until
have learned to know her personally
as good Christian woman, well
educated, who can feel deeply. She
must be an accomplished letter writer
one who can readily inspire the
boy given over to her."
Mrs. Ellis has many letters from
commanding officers who say she is

ters have come from the Atlantic and

would be required to go upon it, and
fence it, cultivate it, and build
house upon it and reside in that
house, in that swamp, for twelve con-
secutive months.
Under present conditions, the state
does not, and will not, no the neces-
sary preliminary development work.
Therefore, the state should appraise
it's lands and offer them for sale in
limited or unlimited acreage, to any
and all who have the money to buy
them.
"'Oh, it may be said, that would
mean that the big land speculator
would buy up tens of thousands of
acres, and then proceed to sell it out
at profit That is just what they
would do. They would buy large
tracts of land, go upon it with pow
erful, expensive machinery, with
hundreds of laborers, and they would
blow up those millions of stumps sky
high, empty through thousand

ted bitches, the tens of millions of

sissippi valley from Canada to the

Would Be Financially Benefited.
''In the mean time the state of
Minnesota would have it's money for
these lands. Now, the interest on
such money would be far in excess of
the yearly increase in the state lands,
under present conditions, so that the
state would be financially benefited.
"The people who bought these
lands from the big land companies,
would get their lands drained, clear
3D.. developed, on large scale, much
more cheaply than poor, struggling,
separated individuals could now OBJ
tain it. Therefore, the actual set
tiers would be benefited.
again, the rush upon these fer
tile lands would add tens of thou
sands of people to our northern popu-
lation, would help us who now live
there, to bear the heavy burden of
taxation now laid upon us, that we
may have any sort Of roads, schools
and other necessities and convenient
ces of modern life. Therefore, all
of northern Minnesota would be
greatly benefited by opening up for
sale, development and settlement Of
the state lands now lying idle, worth
less, useless, untaxed and not in
creasing in value. "
LASTLY, all of Minnesota, and all
of her towns, villages, cities, shops,
factories, farms, mines, ETC., would
benefit by the rapid sale of our state
lands, in large quantities to develop
ment companies, because such private
concerns would see to it that such
lands were speedily put in shape for
