Two Turkish divisions. commanded
by General Lman Won Sanders in per-

British troops near Kaia Tepe. They
were completely. repulsed and suffered
very heavy losses. At the same time
our allies gained another success on

sank two torpedo boats and two trans

Historic Stage Coach
The old historic stage coach made
Its appearance about the beginning
of the nineteenth century. when it
was put In general use throughout
the United States. Its familiar shaped
body was suspended above the frame
work Of the supporting parts BY
means OF great leather straps, and
these added greatly to the case Of the
occupants within. To these coaches.
four or more horses were hArneessd.
and the weary trips from--"P hfiadel-

1t goes without saying that travel

early days. and no doubt passengers
had plenty of time to get well ac-

their Journey.
