Presidents have been made small and
have been used from time 10 time on

In the steel engraving the process
followed is first to get or make the
pencil sketch, which is photographed
and traced onto the steel plate. Then.
in working this into the plate, the
originality of the engraver is called
into action. In determining widths,
direction, textures and crossings the
artist is shown. There is where he
must not only make use of his best
mechanical skill. but also bring to the
work the concept, the care. the calcu-
lation and the inspiration of the artist.

Has Eight 15-Inch Guns.

At the head of the fleet is the Queen
Elizabeth, one of England's latest SUI
perdreadnaughts, which has been COM
missioned since the war began and
which mounts eight 15-inch guns. The
Queen Elizabeth took part in the bonn
bardment, so that for the first time
these monster weapons were used,
and, according to the admiralty re-
port, they did their work with great
accuracy"
Other ships which assisted in silenc-
ing the outer forts were the British
battleship Agamemnon, which was
struck by a Turkish shell and had
three men killed and five wounded;
the British battleships Irresistible,
Vengeance, CORVALLIS, Albion and
Majestic, each of which carries four
12-inch guns, and the Triumph, which
has four 10-inch guns, and the French
battleships Gaulois, Suffren and
Charlemagne, each of which carries
four 12-inch guns.
Other vessels, including the French
battleship Bouvet and one or two Brit
ish battle cruisers, are in the vicinity,
to render assistance should it be re-
quired.

Consideration of Appropriations.
Various phases of university admin
istration will be inspected by commit
tees of the legislature. All appropri-
alton bills, including those for the
state university. will be given detailed
consideration by the joint committee
on finance. The investigation of the
university made by the state board of
public affairs will soon be made pub
lie, and the findings of the board will
be used as a guide for the legislature
in its consideration of university ap-
preparation bills.
Despite the fact that much attention
is being given to the affairs of the
states greatest educat ional institution.
the attitude of the legislature toward
the university is not considered I'M
friendly, in fact, it seems generally
appreciated here that the general
public would rise up against anything
resembling an unfriendly movement
having as its object anything which
might be considered dangerous to the
university.
The high license question has again
bobbed Up in the legislature. A
movement is well developed here in
the interest of law fixing the mini
mum saloon license fee in Wisconsin
as $500. AssembIyman Prescott has
such a bill for Milwaukee, and this
measure will form the basis of the
general discussion of the license sub
ject. A bill is being prepared which
provides a schedule of license fees,
providing a different fee for sale of
liquor and the sale of beer. In this
measure the amount fixed for saloons
that sell only beer will be 5000. Pc
titiOns are already coming in from
Milwaukee opposing high license.
The impression has been circulated
here that the breweries are against
the proposed increased upon the
ground that it will put out of bust
ness the so-caIled "neighborhood sa-
loon" which is said to be the most
harmless of all saloons.
States Policy on Forestry.
a new bill outlining the states pol
fey in regard to fOrestration and the
general question of forestry is be-
ing drawn and will soon be intro
duced. The new bill will retain the
present forestry reserve. It is under
stood that the measure will provide
that all land in the reserve suitable
for agricultural purposes shall be
thrown open by the state for sale and
settlement. The recent decision of
the supreme court checking the
activities Of the forestry department
and the introduction of a new bill
means that the whole question Of for
estry will be discussed and that big
delegations will come here to take
Part in the debate. It is believed that
II will require three or four weeks
for .he drafting of the bills, which
means that the hearings may nc Ne

TWO MORE FORTS
ON DARDANELLES
AREt CAPTURED
Allies Occupy Turk Positions on
Shore.
ALL ENGLAND Is REJOICING
Attack on ConstantinopIe by Allied
Fleet Is Believed to Be Near
Washington Hears Residents
of Capital Are in Panic.

London, March 1.-Two more forts
guarding the Dardanelles have fallen
under the terrific bombardment of the
Franco-British fleet, bringing it an
other step nearer the clash with the
Turkish fleet in Niagara Roads and the
final smash through the straits and
the Sea of Marmora to Constantinople.
British and French flags are now
flying on six of the "impregnable"
forts of the Turks, according to an
Exchange Telegram dispatch from
Athens. The forts RACED have all been
invested by landing parties and for
mally taken over as French and Brit
ish positions on Turkish SOIL
1t is believed in London that these
are the positions at the entrance to
the Dardanelles, on Cape Helles and
across the straits in Asia Minor. The
official announcement given out by
the admiralty, however, would ind1-
cate that more than six forts suffered
in the bombardment further up the
straits, into which the fleet had pene-
trated IA miles on Saturday.
All England Is ncjOiCinY'
Military experts point out that
though the forts might be destroyed,
the possibility of an attack by Turk
ish infantry or artillery masked by
the hills on the peninsula of CALI
poll, as we'll as on the Asiatic side,
would deter Admiral Garden from
risking the lives of his marines by
landing them until the shells of the
warships' guns had removed all dan
ger of an attack, and that it is prob
able that from Cape Helles to Fort
Intepe ten or more forts have been
destroyed.
Meanwhile all England is rejoicing
at this newest exploit Of it's battle
ships, accompanied by so small
loss of life that the cost of the vic
tory may be said to have been no
more than a few tons of ammunition.
London now believes an attack on
Constantinople to be only a matter
of time, and the fact that the Turk
ish fleet is waiting to meet the as
sault of the allies is causing no ap-
prehension. Naval observers even de-
clare it is possible that when the
Turks realize the numerical superb
ority and the advantage in weight of
armament possessed by the allied
fleet, if they do not already realize
1t, the ships will turn and make for
Constantinople to make a final stand
before the city.
