the Rev. John Colvin, a well-knowE
negro minister of the Baptist de.
nomination, and Sam Sanders, an

death by the Rev. Eley Sullivan.
They were brought to the city short
ly after the shooting, but both died

his deputies.
Will Mobley was arrested as an
accessory. Sullivan is said to have

CAN FORCE DARDANELLES
ONLY AT A GREAT COST
Allies Not Willing to Pay Price,
Says Observer With Fleet.
TOO GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Powerful Army Would be Needed
the Moment Fleet Passed Into
Sea of Marmora.

London, April 26.-Too great ex-
pectations We're raised by the prelim-
mary operations of the allied fleet
in the Dardanelles, according to
representative of British newspapers,
who is officially accredited to the ex-
pedition.
The British navy is convinced"
the correspondent says, that the
narrows could be forced if occasion
justified the loss of ships that would
result, but unless there were pow
erful army ready to occupy the
Gallipoll peninsula the moment the
fleet passed into the sea of Marmora,
the Turks and Germans Immediately
would close the straits behind it so
the warships would find it difficult
to fight their way out again.
Nothing amazed the British and
French gunners more than the re-
ssting powers of the old forts
around the Dardanelles When
landing parties examined them after
the devastating bombardment, they
found the material damage done was
comparatively small. Although they
were mere shambles. many guns
were still intact and one9-inch piece
actually was found loaded. Similar
conditions existed in the forts nearer
the Narrows.'
The correspondent considers the
Turks such poor gunners that the
allies would have been at Constanti-
nople. if there had been only Turk
ish troops to deal With He SAYS.
however, that praise must he given
German officers for their skillful use
of the defenses to meet the ships
fire.
The first great obstacle" the
British observer states, Lies in the
! constantly renewed mine fields, then
the concealed batteries OF heavy
howitzers and the direct fire guns
placed in position since the first at
tack on the outer forts. Then there
are the movable light batteries
which bombarded the ships from the
most unexpected quarters
The more the task of forcing the
straits is examined the more tremen-
dous proportions does it assume.
/ Moreover, we do not know the
strength of the enemy's land forces,
but they are entrenched everywhere,
and the lesson of Flanders brought
home clearly what is the inevitable
: cost of assaulting entrenched posi-
| tons."

were killed. Toward ewing the Ger
mans again attacked hill No. 60, but
the eyewitness asserts "again did
our machine guns do tremendous
execution and the attack was beaten
on"
Another attack at o'clock in
the evening" the narrative con-
tinues, suffered the same fate Still
the Germans would not admit defeat
and all night long parties armed
with hand grenades made repeated
efforts to drive us off the hill, their
attacks alternating with lombard
ments from artillery of all kinds and
also trench mortars."
BY Wednesday, the "eyewitiness"
says. the British had firmly estab-
lished themselves. The attack upon
and the defense of hill No. go, the
narrative declares, will 60 down in
history as one Of the finest exploits
of the British troops during the
war.
What our troops withstood can
be realized If it is remembered that
and one-half days was only about
an done-half days was only about
$50 yards in length by about 200
yards in depth.
Upon that small area the enemy
for hours hurled tons of metal and
high explosives and at times the hill
top was wreathed in clouds of pois-
onous fumes, and yet our gallant in
fantry. did not give way. They stood
firm under a fire which swept away
whole sections at time, filed the
trenches with dead bodies and so
numbered the approach to the front
line that reinforcements could not
reach it without having to climb
over the prostrate forms Of their
fallen comrades.
"Our losses naturally we're heavy.
Nevertheless they have not depressed
the men. all of whom. including the
wounded, are extremely cheerful, for
they know that the fight for hill No.
y has cost the Germans far more
than IL has cost u.s."
The desperate efforts of the Ger
mans to recapture the hill, the "eye-
witness" says, probably were due.
not only to the intrinsic value OF the
position, but the fear of personal
consequences to the generals con-
cerned IL they failed to hold it,"

ALTITUDE RECORD
BY A CAROL|N|AN
Lieut.. Bellinger of Cheraw
Reaches 10000 Feet.
FLIES AT PENSACOLA.
Climb Requires Hour and Twenty
Minutes, But Sixteen Minutes
SuffiCeS for Descent.

Lieut.. p. n. l.. BellinSer, U. S. N,
naive of Cheraw, made Friday at
the naval aeronautic station at Pen
s2cola what is believed to be a new
worlds record for altitude in
hydro-aeroplane. He attained IA
height of 10000 feet. The ascent
consumed an hour and 30 minutes.
When his instruments reached the
highest reading he could attain, he
shut off his motor and glided to
earth, descending in 16 minutes.
Lieut.. Bellinger has been some
time in the navy flying corps. but
first came into public notice as an
aviator by his extensive reconnais-
sance flights at Vera Cruz. He is
said to have gone aloft more often
and to have flown further in that
campaign than any other of the air.

lowing the Tampico incident.
Richard Harding Davis, the fa-
nous war correspondent, and writer
of adventure stories, saw Bellinger
in action at Vera Cruz and in his
correspondence from that port at the
time mentioned him in these terms:
He has a very young face, tanned
to the color of Mcclellan army sad
die, his hair is yellow, eyes blue and
always smiling. He is the picture of
health. Clean living, clean thinking
and the daily exercise of taking n
chance with death have given him
the look of Greek god or one of
Leyendecker's captains. He is much
too good to lose. Were he my son,
and he is young enough, / would
give him a good talking to for TAX
ing such risks and in order to keep
lfim out of danger would make him
paymaster or an admiral"
Lieut.. Bellinger was born October
8, 1885, in Cheraw. He was ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy in
1908. Since his graduation he has
seen over six years of sea service He
has been attached for some time to
