BRITISH CASUALTIES .0N DARDANELLES'
 EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY.
Official Estimate Places Number of 96,S99 to
 October 9

London October 15.-The total of British casualties at the Dardanelles up to Oc- tober g, as according to official figures given out here today, was 96,s99.
 The number killed was 1S957 of whom 11S5 were officers
 Casualties of the Australasian con- tingents were 29,121.
 Announcement of the great losses of the British forces at the Dardanelles fol- lows the sensational speech in the House of Lords last night of Lord Milner, who is said to have characterized the expedi- ton as hopeless. He suggested with drawal of the troops from Galipoli pen insula. and their transfer to some other front. Lord Lansdowne responded for the government that it was impossible for any member of the government to give an undertaking that the troops would continue in the Dardanelles operations, or would be withdrawn.
 The figures do not tell the full story of what it has cost the allies to attempt to force the Dardanelles. In addition to the British casualties are the losses of the French concerning which no reliable information is available. The British total, however. bears out dispatches from correspondents on this front who have described the loss of life as frightful. In some instances, according to the advices, trenches and gullies have been choked with the dead. Turkish losses also have been described as very heavy.

Dixie Highway Tourists
 Rest in Chattanooga

Chattanooga. October 15.-The official Dixie Highway tourists rested today in Chattanooga before continuing the trip towards Atlanta tomorrow morning. The eventful and tiresome trip from Nash vile yesterday delayed the schedule of the tour 24 hours.
 President M. M. Allison, in the first car, arrived at 4:30 o'clock this morn ing and all other cars came into Chat tanooga at intervals of 10 minutes each. The only ceremony was the presentation of a loving cup to Judge Allison by the Chattanooga Automobile club.
 The automobile truck carrying the bag gage of the party was ditched near Tul- lahonna, Tenn, and did not reach this city until 1 o'clock this afternoon. The truck was thrown off the road purposely to avoid collision with a car driven by a woman who had lost control of her machine.

 but rather regard it as a necessity and as glard against themselves. The bc'dnesn and openness of the watching probably keeps it from being miscon- strued and resented.
 Many interesting stories are told by the department, one of a young fellow q years old, who had taken a girl away from her home and was arrested by the girls mother, was sent to prison. His be- navior was such as to grant him a pa role. He married the girl and tried to make a home for her. Driven from place to place because he was a paroled con vict, the man at last applied to the Ford factory for work. He sent for his wife and two children and set up comforta ble home. but unfortunately the man ha ] gone from Indiana to Detroit and had violated his parol. so he was arrested again. MT. Ford heard of the story and took up the matter of investigation him self, and had the man paro,ed to tho Ford factory, continuing his work and supporting his wife and children who were devoted to him.
 Another time a professional thief at tempted to get employment by practical hold-up methods. His bold scheme failed but he got a job just the same. Not Ions ago the man opened a bank account. H. remarked this was the first time he hat ever been in a bank except to get the las of it or to rob it.
 This was the sort of workman in which MT. Ford was interested. One day whil' MT. Ford was walking through the fac tory he had the man pointed out to him and Mir. Hawkins arranged a meeting be- tween this man and Mir. Ford. After the meeting the man came to MT. Flaw kins' office (Mr. Hawkins is the head of the sociological department and said
 Say he said, do you know wha' they are telling me down in the shop?"
 No. What?"
 That that was the boss that shool hands with me--the big boss that owns thu works. Was it?'
 Sure answered Mr. Hawkins. 'Wh, not?''
 We'll said Bill, If Henry Ford will walk into his shop and shake hands witt a man like me, he can have all I've got Anybody who wouldn't go straight for { man like that is fool and deserves all h. gets"

WHAT HENRY FORD IS
 DOING FOR THE CONNECTS
Social Service Department Ny MRS. SIDNEY M. uLLMAN

In a recent article h the Literary Di- gest. headed, "A Factory Where Con viets Are Made Men," it tells of the fine co. orerstion between the warden of Sing Sing and the owner of the Ford fac tory. The question is asked: Gan either of these men accomplish what they seek to do with these man factories of theirs - To this question Henry Ford replies:
 T can do it, but l do not claim to have a man factory. I have an automo- bile factory where we do somathing more than turn out machines. The best thing for you to do is to come out to Detroit and see exactly what we are doing and find out what we have done. Then you can judge for yourself Words never count for much in this world. It's deeds. ''
 Mir. Ford has established within the walls of his factory a sociological de- partment,' where force of So men keer records of ex-criminals. already employed by the Ford company. and of other mer who are put to work. because they need the uplft of work and good pay to keer them from the ways of evil.
 The past of every man must be known to the department, though the past does not matter in the selection of an appli- cant. The one important thing is the mental attitude of the man. if he is &C., cepted He is for his own good care fully watched.
 This is clipped from the Digest rela. tive to this phase of the work:
 Nobody realizes more than these peo- pie do that promises of reform are easily broken, and that good intentions have their assigned place in the internal reg ions unless they are supported by actua performances. Every one of the 14.0Ot men comes under the purview of the so- biological department at least rhreee times a year, whether he has a bad record oi latter event he is faced with facts or re. spectatle life.
 But there is no prying or spying. Nc inspector goes about among the mans tradespeople to find if he pays his bills or asks his neighbors if he is beating his wife. The man himself is seen ano questioned, usually in the presence of his wife or some other relative or friend and always at his home or boarding house and his statements are taken abso. lutely on faith, without doubt or hesi- tation, unless there is reason to believe

|)NLY GERMANY GAN
 6TOP ATROCITIES AMONG ARMEN|ANS'
Viscount Brice Says Only Remedy is To Bring Pressure of World
 Opinion to Bear

London, October 15.-"There is only one
 bower that can stop Armenian atrocities
 nd that is Germany declared Wis
 count Bryce at meeting today at the
 Mansion House in support of the lord .nayor's fund in aid of Armenian suffer-
 rs. He declared the only remedy was
 O bring the pressure of world opinion, Particularly of neutral opinion, to bear pn Germany and force her to take ac- lion
 Viscount Bryce, who proposed a resolu- ! ion condemning the reported atrocities, paid tribute to the intelligence and pro- 'sressiveness of the Armenians, who he laid, were far superior to the Moham- |nedans, and he declared the case was hot so much one of religious fanaticism |ss it was deliberate extermination of a people of whom the Turks were envious. The horrors of the massacre exceed |snything in the history of prosecutions |leclared the speaker. Women and chill |5ren. he said, had been driven across Dthe Arabian desert with whips by the Turks who went mad, and at Trebizond arried their victims out to sea in boats |and drowned them
 "Women. many of whom were as high |ly civilized as any of us," ne declared, |'had been sold into slavery where they were Mohammedanized. He declared un- |true the excuse offered by Germans that the Armenians had rebeled. He said the |Armenians were quiet and unoffensve |until forced to defend themselves.
 In seconding the resolution, Cardinal Bourne said the evidence was so strong |that even Germany could not deny the |massacres. Neutrals, he said should fol- low the example of Pope Benedict, who wrote a personal protest and plea to the Sultan.
 Sir Edwin Pears, who had been the leader of the British bar in Constanti- |nople, apparently surprized his hearers |by saying that the persecution was not an article of Mohammedan faith and that the massacres were deplored by the mass |of the Turks.
 T. P. O'Connor mentioned the work of Armenans in raising fund and also |praised the effort to the same end being made by the lord mayor.
