Mapleton On Poets
Natal Day

Mapleton, November 15.-Dr. T. n.
Robertson has accepted the invitation
of the Burns club and will probably
address that body on January Is, In
Masonic hall. The committee consist
ing of T. b. Taylor, r. b. Hanna
and A. J. Ellis Is preparing the re-
mainder of the program OF local talent,
which all are sure will be of the best.
The necessity which forces the club
to confine its entertainment to mem
bers of the club and the Maple River
Curling club with visiting Kinks and
ladies may prove beneficial in the
way of increasing the membership.
Everyone eligible should enroll and
thus lend his influence so that by 1917
the club itself will own hall OF ade-
quate proportions for entertaining its
guests. The preparing Of the Haggais
and the remainder of the banquet will
be in the hands of an experienced CON-
mittee not yet appointed.

War Has Saved Wilson
Says Ex-President Taft

San Francisco. Aug. 25.-That the
war has saved President Wilson from
the disapproval of the nation and has
prevented a demonstration of the fall
acy af the democratic tariff doctrine,
was the emphatic statement today Of
former President William Howard Taft,
who is in San Francisco for a week s
visit at the exposition.
"This war has prevented the nor
NAL and natural effect of the demo-
cratic tariff and mas given protection
which that tariff would not have Sc
cured to American industries, " he said.
/" In fact, the adverse effect to indus
tries had already been felt before the
war broke out. -
Speaking on preparedness for war, he
said
81 am most heartily in favor of
preparation for war We should take
immediate steps to safeguard the ma
ton. -
Professor Taft presided today at the
morning session of the conference of
Unitarian and other Christian churches.
Tonight ne will address the California
Bar association. Tomorrow he will
speak at the Red Cross day ceremonies
at the exposition. He will leave for
Seattle September 7.

FORCING DARDANELLES
BEGINS IN EARNEST
Terrific Attack By Land,
Water and Air Mark Re-
sumption Of Allies Work

London, Aug. 25.-With the capture
of 500 wards of Turkish trenches by the
British, the sinking OF five TURKISH
ships and on aerial bombardment O.
Constantinople. official reports today
indicated terrific assaults from the
land, sea and air by the allies IN the
Dardanelles.
One Turkish transport anchored north
of the Niagara roads, was sunk oy a
French aviator, while Athens dispatches
reported the destruction Of foar TURK.

by British submarine.
While the British colonial and French
troops were delivering determined at
tacks against the Turk land positions,
two allied cruisers are declared 10 nave
entered the Dsrdanelles and lombard
ed the enemy land batteries.
These assaults BY the land forces re-
suited in the capture of one Turkish
trench by the Australians at Sulva bay
yesterday and was followed by the
capture of 800 yards Of trenches by
other British troops. In the krithia
and Ari Burnu region heavy fighting
is in progress.
Agency dispatches reported the bonn
bardment of Constentinople by Russian
aviators in which Al persons were re-
ported killed or wounded,
While the Balkans were debating as
to joining and marching on CONSTANT
nople and the allies we're bursting forth
with renewed activities, unofficial re-
ports declared the MOslem capital was
being tarown into fever of excitement
by the presence of the Russian fleet
off the Bosphorus.
The arrival of British reinfOrcements
at Suvla bay on the Galliroh peninsula
was followed by strong infantry at
tacks and renewal of the lombard
ment of Turkish forts on both sides of
the straits by several units Of the allied
fleet.
II is unnecessary to keep warships in
Suvla bay to cover the advance of the
British troops in that region. Constant
gains are being made as additional
Turkish trenches are taken under com
bined attacks of the artillery and field
forces. The Australians have advanced
to trenches beyond the cliffs, out of
range of the warships, and British ar.
tillery has been landed to suppUt them.
The present attacks on the Darda-
nelles are regarded as of great diplo-
matte as well as military Importance.
Forcing of the straits and opening OF
the gateway to COnstantinople is ex-
pected to have great Influence upon
the Balkan states, now the center C.
diplomatic efforts Assurances of par.
ticipating in the capture of Constant,
nople and sharing in the spoils of the
near east would mean the early en-
trance of the Balkans into the war ON
the side of the allies, it is believed. The
continued victories of the Germans in
Poland also makes it imperative that
the Dardanclles be forced if Russia is
to be aided by her allies through sup.
plies Of munitions.
