and advancing very slowly in parallel
lines. Turks waiting to choose their
own battle ground. British have es-
tablished main base on shores of the
Aegean sea and have entrenched a
frontal line across peninsula to Esh
Dissarlik.
British aViators who. have recon-
noitered are understood here to have
reported presence in front of their
lines of a force of some $4,000 Turk
ish troops of all branches, heavily
supplied with artillery. Turkish
forces on both sides of Dardanelles
are commanded by German officers
of high rank who have just arrived
from northern battle front.
Turks are said to be so strongly en-
trenched that it will be impossible for
allies to advance except under cover
of guns of their warships which will
make it essential that forts along the
Dardanelles be reduced. Because of
this the battle fleet is being utilized
both by day and by night.
Turkish regulars have been de-
feated with heavy losses and an en-
tire Turkish battalion captured in a
battle between Turks and a British
landing party which took possession
of the coast along the gulf of Souvli,
25 miles from Seda-el-Bahr.

WHEN CHIEF DUNN

Two Bad Burglars,
CLOSE CAII FOR A BAeeAeEMAN

Chief Of Police II. w. Dunn VIII never
forget an occasion when he went TO Jop-
lin, Mo-, with the late CHIEF ]. ]. Dona-
hue to bring back two men charged with
robbing a local furrier. After having been
detained at Joplin three days by legal
teohnicalitfes over the prisoners, Dunn
and Donahue were given custody OF their
men ten minutes before train time.
Mr.. Dunn threw two suitcases belong
ing to the prisoners into the front OF 8
hack and proceeded to the depot. where
he checked the baggage and suitcases. On
the train one Of the prisoners asked where
the suitcases were placed. adding that one
contained soup" The chief said he
checked the suitcases, whereupon the
prisoner remarked upon the chiefs care
lessness
what "sOup'' Is.
Soup is a mixture of nitric acid and
glycerine used by safe blowers. 1t is a
high explosive Upon arrival at the Kan
sas City depot, Mr.. Dunn FASTENED ahead
to the baggage car and was just In time
to stop the baggageman. who was going
to throw the expiosive-laden suitcase out
as he would any ordinary piece Of bag
gage.
When the chief explained to the bag
gage smasher the contents of the suitcase,
the Iatter's face blanched. Had the suit
case been thrown as intended. there would
not have been any salvage worth while to
that baggage car. nor would there have
been much left OF the baggageman or the
chief.
To Illustrate the force Of soup" 1t
might be stated that a blacksmith placed
two drops on an anvil, brought his ham
rner down on the anvil and the head o.
the hammer was blown through the roof
of the blacksmith shop.
How soup is Handled.
"Yeggmen" usually carry soup in bot
ties wrapped in cloth to prevent harsh
contact In the suitcase In question there
were two loaded automatic revolvers and
two bottles OF the explosive, The chief
emptied the explosive in the river at
kansas City and considered himself
lucky.
The usual operation in blowing a safe
with soup" is to pry a small space OF
spring the lower part OF the door with
wedges. Then a dam of soap Is built up
around the crevice and the explosive
poured into the opening. A fuse is in
serted, into the soap cup and the fuse ia
then lighted. As a rule gunner son the
outside watch for persons apprised by the
sound of the explosion. These gunner
deter any intruders while the inside man
forces the inside door of the safe and
loots the strong box.

take effect when the price was down
and not when II is steady or going up,
