Show Great Bravery.
The main attacks were upon the
French positions. British officers who
watched the assaults assert that great
er bravery was never shown by troops
than that displayed by the Ottoman
troops. One describes the Turkish
attacks as follows: .r.....
Great solid masses Of Turks leaped
forward to the attack in the formation

ors. On they came, the silence un-
broken except for their occasional
shouts, until they reached point 60
yards from the French position.
Then from 200 well-placed machine
guns burst a devastating FIRE From
the trenches 10000 rifles Joined in.
while the big guns lShtened up the
scene at intervals.
With fine bravery the enemy came
on, unhesitating even in the inferno
of death. Though terribly cut up. the
Turks reached the harhed-wire en-
tanglements. only to find that their ar
tillery had failed to demolish these
defenses.
The slaughter here was terrible.
yet at three points the enemy managed
to swarm into the French trenches,
and even succeeded in turning some
of the French weapons on the defend
ers.
The second French line immediate
ly hurled itself upon the foe and drove
him out again. French soldiers de-
scribing the conflict afterward said:
Foee Closely Mixed.
I'VE were SO closely mixed that it
was almost impossible to use the bay
opet. We had to clear the way for
ourselves by simply pushing the Turks
back into the trenches. There we fell
upon them. ramming our bayOnets into
the solid mass. Once we had cleared
a little room for ourselves we rushed
forward. Then the Turks. badly sup
ported, gave way and fed.

machine guns poured streaks of death.

DR.. HOLMES is DEAD
DIRECTOR OF BUREAU OF MINES
sUccUM5s AT DENVER, COLO.
Government Expert Made Safety
First" a National Movement
tuberculosis Caused Death.

Denver, Colo, July 14.-Joseph Aus
tin Holmes, director of the federal bu-
reau of mines at Washington and a
widely known geologist, died at his
home here of tuberculosis. Doctor
Holmes had been in poor health for
several months. He came to Denver
about four months ago with his fam
lily In the hope of regaining strength.
Doctor Holmes was fifty-fye years
old and a native of South Carolina.
He had been director of the bureau of
mines since its creation by congress
in 1910. Previously he had been chief
OF the archaeological branch of the
united States geological survey. in
charge of investigation of mine acct
dents. His service with the federal
government began in 1904, when he
was placed in charge of the United
States geological survey laboratories
for testing fuels and structural ma
terials at ST. Louis and later at Pitts
burgh. He was a graduate of Cornell
university and later was professor of
geology and natural history at the
University OF North Carolina and was
state geologist for that state from
1891 until 1904. He is survived by
widow and four children.
Washington, July 14.-Dr. Joseph A.
Holmes was regarded by his associates
in the government service as the faith
er OF the bureau of mines, which by
campaign of education and expert
ment, has largely reduced the dea h
toll among the underground workers.
He also was credited with making
safety first" a national movement.
He took 1t for the slogan Of the mine
bureaus work and 1t spread to all
phases of industrial activities.
The saddest part of it ALL" said
Van II. Manning, acting director OF
the mines bureau, lis that Doctor
Holmes was a victim OF oyerwork and
his devotion to his duties in behalf
OF the safety Of the million miners of
the United States His insistence on
going only where his trained rescue
crews should go, sharing the dangers
that should have gone only to more
robust men, seriously affected his
health. Doctor Holmes vas martyr
to the cause of safety among the min
ers, and his name is added to the
honor roll of bureau rescuers who
have given up their lives to the
cause

SAW "oLD NICK" IN ENGINES
Indians Tried to Stop the First Train
Bun Near the Agency In
Oklahoma.

Watonga, Okla.-Bart Mullenhoff,
an Indian trader of Darlington, tells
an interesting story of one of the
first trains to run over the tracks near
the agency. The laying of the rails
was a wonderment to the Indians.
All day they would watch the steel
being linked together. At last the
track was completed and trains placed
in motion. At first the Indians would
not approach within two miles of the
engines, for they believed the en-
gines to possess the spirit of the
devil.
Their ideas of the devil had been
gained from the description given by
the missionaries. After awhile their
fears abated a little. The Indians
discovered the iron monsters could
not leave the track made by the white
men.
The Indians secured ropes and
stretched them across the tracks, the
ropes being tied to trees on each side
OF the right of way. Concealing them
selves in the brush, the Indians wait
ed to see the iron horse stopped by
their ropes.
A passenger train came speeding
southwark and snapped the ropes as
though they we're twiue. The Indians,
beholding this great strength, fed in
terror. and it was a great while be-
fore they were convinced that the
invader was not the old Nick himself.

here are some strange sounding words spoken
by the head of District corporation at a meeting
OF citizens association the other day: eff the
public service corporation lives within the law and
fulflls and performs its charter duties and oblea
tions it is, claim, the duty of the government 70
give to this corporation fair and considerable treat
ment and to protect it in the enjoyment of its
legal rights and it is the duty of both the govern.
ment and the people with regard to such a corpo-
ration to give it fair treatment and consideration
to protect 1t. from unequal competition to permit
it to make useful and needed extensions and ~
aid rather than hamper its progress and deyelon.

such od-fashioncd beliefs, and refusing to keen nm
with the modern ideas, which decree that a public
service corporation which does what he describes
must be regarded public enemy In the new
order of things it is crime to be successful. and
the payment of dividends is confession of rob-
