During Seven Hour Artillery Duel
at DardanelIcS.

Berlin, March %, Via. London, 11:33
a. m.-The correspondent at Con-
stantinople of the Wolff Bureau tele-
graphed today a description of the
fighting at the Dardanelles on Thurs
day, March Is, in which the French
battle ship Bouvet and two British
battleships were sent to the bottom.
There follows an abridgement of the
correspondents story Of this engage
ment:
The efforts of the allies to force the
straits Of the Dardanelles had their
climax in an artillery duel on Thurs
day, March IS, which lasted seven
hours The entire atmosphere around
the Turkish forts was darkened by
clouds Of smoke from exploding
shells and quantities Of earth thrown
into the air by the projectiles of the
French and British warships The
Garth trembled for miles around.

The allies entered the straits at
1870 a. m, and shelled the town Of
Chanay Kale. Four French and five
British warships took part in the be-
ginning. This engagement reached
its climax at half past one, when the
fire of the allies was concentrated upon
Fort Hamidieh and the adjacent for
tilted positions.

The result for them was terrible, ow-
ing to the excellent craftsmanship
from the Turkish batteries. The al
lies fired on this day 5000 shells with
out silencing one shore battery. The
result has inspired the Turks with
confidence and they are looking for
ward to further engagements with
calm assurance. :,

lery upon strong land forts presented
an interesting as we'll as terrifying
spectacle. At times the forts We're
completely enveloped In smoke. At
o'clock the allies changed their tao
tics and concentrated their fire upon
individual batteries, but it was evil
dent that they found difficulty in get
ting the range. Many Of their shells
fell short, casting up pillars of water,
or went over the forts to explode In
the town.

HOuvct Goes Down.

At 3:15 when the bombardment was
at it's hottest, the French battleship
Bouvet was seen to be sinking at the
stern. A moment later her bow
swung clear Of the water and she was
seen going down. Roaring cheers
from the Turkish garrisons and forts
greeted the sight. Torpedo boats
and other craft of the allies hurried
to the rescue, but they were success
full in saving only a few men. Be-
sides having struck by a mine the
Bouvet was severely damaged above
the water line by Shell fire. One
projectile struck her forward deck. A
mast also was shot away and hung
overheard. 1t could be seen that
when she sunk the Bouvet was en-
deavoring to gain the mouth OF the
straits. This, however, was difficult,
owing apparently to the fact that her
machinery had been damaged.
British Ship Struck.
Shortly after the sinking of the
Bouvet a British ship was struck on
the deck squarely amidships and COM
PEELED to withdraw from the fight
Then another British vessel was bad
ly damaged and at 3:45 was seen to
retire under a terrific fire from the
Turkish battery. This vessel ran in
toward the shore. For a full hour
the allies tried to protect her with
their guns, but it was apparent that
she was destined for destruction.
Eight effective hits showed the hope
Iessness of the situation for this ves-
sci, She then withdrew towards the
mouth Of the Dardanelles, which she.
reached in "a few minutes under q
hail of shells The forts continued
firing until the allies were out of
range
This was the first day when the
warships attacking the Dardanelles
kept within range Of the Turkish guns
for any considerable length or time.

DISCOVERED ON FIRE

The Gulf & Ship Island bridge.
crossing the Bouie river, eight miles
north of Hattiesburg, caught on fire
this morning, and so damaged the
structure as to make it impossible for
trains to pass over it. Incoming
trains were delayed for time until
the officials of the road inaugurated
a transfer system at that point It
was explained in the offices Of the
company here this afternoon that this
system of transferring will continue
tonight and tomorrow morning. BY
noon tomorrow, 1t is said, the struc-
ture will have been repaired.
The cause of the confagration is not
known. Officials do not believe that It
was the work of incendiarists, how
ever. The transferring Of passengers
and baggage Is being made over the
wagon bridge which crosses the river.
The G. & 8. I. bridge, a suspension
one, is one Of the most modern pieces

DEFciENcIEs-sAYs CONFRONTING REPus-


New Orleans, April 26-That the
Wilson peace policy has served to
strengthen the Democratic admins
tration is the view William Randolph
Hearst takes of the situation. Mr..
Hearst, while drawing the conclusion
the Wilson regime was not altogether
a success, is firmly of the opinion that
the peace policy has caused the people
to forget some of what he calls the
administration earlier deficiencies.
Mr. Hearst, who is prominent
newspaper publisher, with chain of
papers reaching from New York, to
the Pacific Coast. and whose activi-
ties In reforms have brought him fre-
quently into the great political arena
as candidate for important offices,
spent Sunday in New Orleans.
Accompanied by his wife and par
ty of friends, Mr.. Hearst is on his way
back to New York from three months
visit in California. The party arrived
Sunday morning on the Frisco-Santa
Fe. and left Sunday night, for Atlanta,
where Mr.. Hearst probably will spend
week, looking over his newspaper
interests in that Gate City.
View Of Politics.
81 think Mr.. Wilson will, of course,
be renominated by the Democratic
party" Mr.. Hearst said, III he wants
the denomination. 1t is always the
custom of the convention to desire to
renominate the man In Office, and it is
generally the custom Of the man In
Office to want the renomination. That
Is the way I 6gure II out.

ALL ATTENDANCE
| RECORDS broken
BIGGEST CROWDS EVER, AT MAIN
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
YESTERDAY.

The largest attendance known to
the Main Street Baptist Church, was
that of yesterday and last night, when
at the three services during that time,
standing room was at premium. Be
ginning with the Sunday school exer-
cises, the attendance records were
broken. Following this, a short ser
mon by DIR. Dodd was given. Seven
were received in the church.
DR.. Dodd spoke to a large congrega-
ton at IL o'clock. on "The Love OF
Christ Constraineth Me-" In a conse-
Grafton service at the close, hundreds
of parents indicated their willingness
to give their children to the Lord for
any service to which they might be
called, and scores of young men and
women volunteered for service in any
field to which they might be directed.
Another large crowd gathered at 8
O'Clock to hear Mr. Wade, the convert
ed actor, lecture on "The Green Room,
or Behind the Scenes" Mr.. Wade's
experience as an actor serves him well
on the platform, and his expose of the
methods of the management, and the
life of the actor and actress, and at
tack on the theatre as an institution
was strikingly put.
The climax of the day came with
the evening service. The large chorus
choir, aided by 40 young men and
women from the Normal College,
thrilled the great audience that filled
every available seat in the auditorium,
Sunday school rooms and balcony,
with the singing of gospel songs.
DR.. Dodd's sermon on 'The Wages
of Sin Is Death, but the Gift of God
is Eternal Life" was the most con-
vincingly powerful gospel message he
has delivered in Hattiesburg.
Fourteen applied for membership in
the church during the day.
Announcement was made that SER
vices would continue from day to day.
DR.. Dodd spoke this afternoon at 1880
on "The Second Coming of Christ"
and "The Signs of the Times"
Tonight DR.. Dodd will speak espe-
cially to men on "The White Life for
Men," Seats will be reserved in the
main auditorium for men. Ladies will
be asked to occupy seats in the Sun
day school rooms and gallery.
A feature of all these services is
the singing of Mr.. and Mrs. Wade.

Leaf River Camp, No. %, Woodmen
of the World, yesterday afternoon con-
Quoted its annual impressive exercises
at the city cemetery, where monu-
ments to five Woodmen who have died
during the last year, were unveiled.
1t was an occasion to be remember
ed in fraternal circles. The Wood
men took that opportunity to pay re-
spect to their departed brothers, and
hundreds of other Hattiesburgians
joined them in their ceremony.
Luther A. Smith delivered the me-
mortal address which was peculiarly
impressive. Miss Mary Anna Allen
read the Woodmen's poem, "Oh, Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal Be
Proud?"
The unveiling exercises were simple
although impressive in the extreme.
and was the largest thing of its kind
ever attempted by Leaf River Camp.
At 2:30 o'clock, the members of the
camp, as well as Woodmen from other
camps, assembled at the w. o. w.

Wars Biggest Battle.

London, April 26.-What some mill.
tary critics are inclined to pronounce
the greatest battle of the war, is un-
der way today on the User Canal in
Flanders.
Official reports of the fighting are
meager and contradictory, but it is
generally believed here that the Ger.
mans are making another effort to
break through to the channel ports.
This movement comes as a distinct
shock to the British public, as it was
unexpected, and seems to have fore
stalled the general allied offensive
movements.
1t is impossible yet to get clear
idea of the German movement, but
some dispatches reaching London say
it is so important that General Won
Hindenberg was brought from the
East to direct the operations. Emper.
or William himself is reported as pro-
ceeding to the User.
The German officials statement de.
nies that the Allies have regained any
lost land in Flanders, and tells of
further successes. Paris and London
have but little to say officially on the
fighting there. The German report in.
dicates that the Kaiser's forces ara
attacking over a wide front in the
west. 1t tells of victories in the
Vosges.
The Austrians officially claim sue
cesses in the Carpathians, but there is
nothing definite as to the character of
these victories.

You don't hear so much of the Bull
Moose as party today, but the pro-
portion of Progressives in the Republi-
can ranks is as large now as ever it
was, perhaps larger.
THE Republican party is sailing
along easily now merely opposing the
Democrats. but it reaches the point
where it must declare its principles,
and nominate candidate for the pres
idency, either progressive or reaction
ary, 1t will enter upon a period of
greater difficulty. / am of the opinion
that the Progressives in the Repubn
can party are very sincere, and think
more of principle than of party. / do
not believe they can be herded or
stampeded into voting for reaction
ary. There lies the real difficulty for
the party, for the old line Republicans
may try to find the opportunity to
nominate candidate representing the
reactionary element, an element that
is against the best interests OF the
great mass of people, and the Pro-
gressives in the ranks will hardly sub
NIT to this.
Much Social Unrest.
There has been great deal of so
cial unrest, with the terrific problem
of the unemployed all over the coun-
