HEAVY LOSSES AT
THE DARDANELLES

London, May 3.-Further reports
from the Dardaneles operations are
anxiously awaited tonight. The latest
official announcements here and in
Paris quietly admit that the Allies
losses have been heavier than was be-
ieved.
1t is especially denied today that
the position of the Allies on Gallipoli
peninsula is dangerous, but it is tacit-
ly admitted that Constantinople state
ments that the Asiatic side OF the
straits is cleared of Allies is correct.
It is admitted that retirement from
there was ordered, but it is claimed
the French had landed there merely
as cover to British operations on
the other side.
The shelling of the Dardanelles forts
by the Allied warships is continuous,
and dispatches to the Daily Mail de-
clare the French have landed more
troops at Gheyikli under cover of war

ASKED
TO CHANGE DATE

Seeking to change the date of I'M
perial County Day at the San Diego
exposition, which conflicts with the
Fourth of July celebration planned at
this city, representatives of the local
fire department, the Valley Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association appeared
before the board of trustees this morn
ing
Representing the fire department,
Attorney Seymour, in addressing the
board, asserted that it was the object
of the celebration here to have as
many persons as possible in attend
ance, which likewise was the object
Of Imperial County Day at the expo
sition. The intervening time between
the two dates was so close, however,
he said, that the 2 celebrations, held
so closely together, would affect the
attendance at either.
Eugene d. White, representing the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associ-
alton, concurred with Attorney Sey-
mour and stated that it was his be-
lief that the celebration could be held
at more advantageous time. He
suggested a date in August as a pos
sibe observation of the day.
Mayor A. w. Swanson and +. A.
Fleishman also addressed the board
After considerable discussion, in
which members of the board adduced
arguments which tended to show that
the present date set for Imperial Val
ley Day probably would be of more
benefit than any other day in the fu-
ture, the matter was referred to Su-
rervisor Carr, who will take up the
matter with the San Diego exposition
] directors.
/ 1t was stated that Imperial Val
ley Day, to be observed July 3, had
been widely proclaimed and some
doubt was expressed as to whether
the effects of that advertising could
be offset.
Also, it was said that Imperial Val
ley Day at the exposition had already
been continued once, the original date
having been set for some time in May
and later set over until July 8.
Supervisor Carr, in presenting his
views to the gathering, asserted that
Imperial County Day at the San Fran
cisco exposition had been one of the
most successful days of the seven
southern counties and on that date
only persons from this county had
been present. The advertising to the
county through various publications
he said, was of more value to the
county than a large attendance of To-
cal people.

For several days there have been
rumors that booze is to make an eff
fort to capture CaleXico. As the re-
FORT is heard, it is the plan to hold
e wet and dry election in midsum-
mer, taking advantage of the absence
of many citizens, and especially of
the women.
Regarding the situation, the CaleX-
leo Chronicle says:
''Is it a petition calling for a wet
and dry election or for the recall of
Trustee p. f. Carr? That is the
question going the rounds. That the
vets have been active within the last
few days is not denied, but when it
was asked if the petitions were for
the purpose of bringing about a vote
on the liquor question, those who had
the matter in hand stated that as far
as known the petitions were for the
recall of Carr.
"City Clerk Edward B. Browne, reg
istration officer, explained Friday
morning that he had been registering
voters, but as the books were open
the year around, it did not conclude
the activity represented wet and
dry election movement. On unques-
tionable authority it is learned that
the recall petition against P. E. Carr
was induced by the petition asking
the board to declare the office of city
attorney vacant.
Here is the story that paraded up
and down Second street Friday morn
ing, startling the drys and surprising
the vets, as the latter are alleged to
have been quietly securing names to
the election petition
1.-The vets have established head
quarters in Room 26, Virginia hotel,
and it is there that prospective vets
are registered and at the same time
sign a petition asking for the recall
of P. E. Carr.
"When asked yesterday if he had
registered any voters in the Virginia
hotel, City Clerk Edward B. Browne
admitted that he had been there on
one occasion and received registra-
tions.
"Mrs. c. w. Brockman, president
of the w. c. T. u. i'm Calexico, when
informed of the persistent rumors in
connection with the calling of a wet
and dry election, replied that, official
ly, she had not been apprised of the
activities of the vets. There will be a
meeting of this organization Tuesday
afternoon, at which time the matter
will be gone into thoroughly.
According to the current reports,
overtures have been made to secure
leases on several corner buildings, the
properties to be used for saloon pur-
poses in the event that the city goes
wet. 1t is said that Mrs. Mary Bell
was offered $3.50 per month for a
lease on the corner room at First and
lockwood, but declined the p oposi-
ton.
THE last wet and dry election in
Calexico was held November 5, 1912,
and the drys won out by vote of al
most two to one. Since that time
there has been talk of attempting
to bring about another election, but
sentiment was never centered to the
point where the petitions were pub
licly circulated.
"The various stories which have
been circulated and reproduced here
lack confirmation, except in the mat
ter of the Carr and Reed petitions.
That petition is being signed for a
wet and dry election was further sub
stantiated Thursday when three men
