London, May 3.~~After serious fight
ing In which the Turks offered stub
born resistance. British troops, accord
ing to an official statement just issued,
have established themselves on the
Gallipol peninsula and advanced n
considerable distance toward the mar
rows of the Dardanelles, where the
French have cleared Cape Kun Kaleh
on the Asiatic side of Turkey.
II may be said that the second and
most serious attempt to force the Oar
danelles has been fairly launched,
The Turks, under the guidance of
their German officers placed every OBJ
stacie In the way of the invaders, but
against the fire OF the Allied fleet and
the gallantry of the army they were
forced to fall back. The British forces
lost heavily In the operation.
Land at Six Points.
Six points were selected for the
landings, which commenced at day.
light. At five points they were i'm
mediatels successful. but at the sixth,
near Seddul Bahr, the troops were UNI
able to advance until the evening, The
British troops disembarked at the eS-
treme end of the peninsula. They
reached krithia, which is on the road

Fleet Covers Landing.
While this was proceeding, the fleet.
besides covering the landing of the
troops, kept up homhardment Of the

re-enforcements from reaching Turkey
from the Sea of Marmora. One Turk,

believed again to have been firing her
big guns across the peninsula, directed
by airmen. The troop ship was sunk

The official account OF the landing
OF the Allied troops does not bear out

of men taken by the Allies having been
given as 500. These were cut off by
the Are of the ships. Neither does the
report mention operations OF Smyrna

that these points are being watched to

Norway Loses Heavily.

So far as claims 60 it was an
Austro-German day. A number of YES
sells, neutral and otherwise, fell victim
to German submarines, Norway being
q particularly heavy loser.
If the Austro-German contentious
relative to the Galician situation are
correct, in the opinion of some of the
English military writer's, it will mean
that the whole Russian campaign in
the Carpathians is seriously affected,
making extremely precarious the posi-
ton of the Russian troops pressing
down the southern slopes toward the
plains Of Hungary.
The line between the Vistula and
the Hungarian frontier was about 40
miles east of Cracow. The Austro-Ger-
mans have been defending it stubborn
ly ever since the beginning of the
Carpathian fighting.

Judge Hillyer glanced at the verdict

Lawson did not move A slight
smile played over his features. There
was silence for few moments. then
Horace N. Hawkins, chief counsel for
the defense, asked that the jury be-
polled.
As the clerk read the names, each
man assented to the verdict. Then
there was brief legal formalities and
the crowd filtered out the door.
Thirty days were given to file mo-
ton for new trial and Lawson was
released temporarily in custody of his
counsel.
Judge Hillyer later announced that
the labor leader would be released on
100000 bond pending action on his mo-

Berlin is Jubilant.

Berlin Is celebrating the victory as
Is the custom there, though it is ad.
mitted that the flags have been flown
before full details are to hand.
England and France make no claim
to any gains in the West, the British
contenting themselves with saying
that the German attacks on Hill 60
In Flanders have been beaten back;
the French confirm this.
The Germans maintain that they are
pushing forward to the northwest Of
Ypres and toward st. Julien village,
which they captured after the attack
following their first extensive use of
gas, but which they were forced to
yield under coumter-attacks.
In the fighting in the Baltic provin-
ces, also, Berlin finds cause to rejoice.
Rejecting the Russian contention that
1t is only a sporadic cavalry raid, Ber-
lin wireless comment received says 1t
seriously threatens the Russian right
and the fact that troops could be
moved so far northeast before they
encountered resistance is considered
a reflection on the Russian intelligence
system.

TALKS ON THRIFT
A Practical Profit Sharing Plan


 spend your moeey after you have earned it; never before. '-Dr. Lyman Alb. bolt.
 One of the large Minneapolis flour mill ing companies early in the winter gave every one of it's TOO employees a check for s25, with instructions to take it to a say ings bank and deposit it. the check being valueless otherwise.
 The object of these gifts was to foster thrift among the employees. In order that the saving habit, once started by the opening of the account. may be kept up, an additional incentive to save part of pany's workers
 This is embodied fin letter which reads in part as follows.
 If you continue in our employ until November l, 1915 bring your savings bank book to us. We will then give you a check for half the net increase in your bank balance in excess of the original S25. Tn other words, if your bank book shows $45 on deposit November 1, 1915, we will add $l0 to your savings. If your book shows $75 on deposit on November l, 1915, we will add s25 to your savings. etc.
 ''In no case will the amount paid Under the arrangement exceed $26"
 One of the remarkable features was that a large number took to the bank, in addition to their gift check. savings that never had been deposited. One man brought $500 and a large number added to the check enough to insure the fpy ment of $25 check November 1. 1915. Several of the employees had savings accounts already, and merely added the check to their savings. Two hundred and seventy-four opened savings accounts the day the company issued the check.
 This is really practical form of profit sharing as it helps people to help them selves and encourages the formation of a permanent habit of systematic econ omy T. D. MACt5REGOR,
