Turks. under the command Of Enver
Pasha, lost 10000 in dead and wounded
in four days. Is reported In an official
report from Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton.

admiralty. The report follows:
ION the night Of June $3.50. at about
2 a. m. searchlights from H. M. s.

Turkish battalion advancing near the
sea northwest Of Krithia. The Scorpion
opened fire. A few of the enemy got

In several lines of close formation. The
attackers were subjected to our artil-
lery fire and an enfiladine -'" fire,
losing heavily The foremost Turks got
within forty yards Of the parapet. Only
a few returned.
Twice Driven Back.
During the night the Turks. made
several heavy bomb attacks, our troops
being twice driven back a short dis
tance. Early in the morning we re-
gained these trenches by bayonet at
tack. Since then they have been
strengthened. At 5 80 a. m. some 1000
Turks, moving from Krithia into a ra-
vine, were scattered by our machine
gun fire.
The operations reflect great credit
on the vigilance and accurate shooting
Of the Scorpion. The Turkish losses in
the Nullah ravine are estimated at from
1900 to 1000 dead.
AT about 10 p. m. on June 80 the
Turks again attacked with bombs a

bomb attack was commenced, but failed

Further reports from the, Australian

enemy's attacks on June 30 and 80 on
our first tiank state that the action was
begun by a very heavy fire, which last
ed from midnight until 80 a. m. Our
men replied to this bombardment by a
series OF cheers, at which the Turks,
launching their attack. rushed on with
fixed bayonets. Those who succeeded In
reaching our saps were instantly killed.
The remainder We're dealt with by
bombs and rife fire from the Seventh
and Eighth light horse. By a. m. the

killed. The attack was delivered with
greatest vigor on the enemy's right.

has been confirmed by the statement OF

Bessemer, December '4-(Special.) The work on number of improve
 ments which are in progress at the Bessemer rolling mill is progressing rapidly and when completed will add largely to the work of this plant. Electric motors of modern type were installed last year in one of the mills and now other motors are being placed for those mills which have been oper- ated by steam. The motor power is more steady than steam power and S easier handled the Alabama Power company furnishing the current. Here
 tofore the Alabama Power company has delivered 22,000 horse power, but un
 der the new condition will deliver just twice that quantity. When the work is completed the mill will be eXcellently equipped and will add largely to its output At present the mill is running steadily with large force of men. .

ALABAMA PEANUT ! OIL IS SOLD ID SWIFT & COMPANY Emmet A. Jones Has Dis tinction of Selling First
 Tank From This
 State

Montgomery, December A. Especially Emmet A. Jones, chief of the immi grafton and markets bureau of the department of agriculture and indus tries. has the distinction of having sold the first tank of peanut oil ever made in Alabama. The oil was purchased by Swift & Co. of Chicago, and will be used in the manufacture of oleomar- garine, salad and cooking oils and other food supplies.
 MT. Jones has just returned from trip to- Chicago. where he attended and addressed the National Association on Markets and Credits. His address dealt largely with the peanut oil and the cotton seed oil industry. He related to the delegates assembled in convention how peanuts may be grown with sub stantial profit, and called especial at tention to the peanut oil mill recent ly erected at Brundidge, in Pike coun- ty. the first industry of it's kind in Alabama.
 "We found that the use of peanut and cotton seed oils, though they are universally admitted to be nutritious and wholesome articles of food, is re- stricted by prejudice and adverse legis lation," MT. Jones said in his address. "We found that our people greatly need these foods, which may be used as substitutes for butter, because a butter survey of our state revealed the astonishing fact that we produce only 20 per cent of our commercial but ter.'
 Following his address, which was given extensive publicity in the Chi cago papers, MT. Jones was visited by officials of Swift & Co.,. to whom he revealed the qualities of peanut oil and cotton seed oil. MT Jones then sold the first tank of peanut oil made in Alabama and so far as he knows, the first made in this country.

Caught Undersea Monster in Shallow Water and Hurled Bomb. Which
 Cut Vessel in Half

Paris, December "A story of the de. structlon of German submarine by an allied aeroplane was related today by Lieutenants Whey and De Sincay on their return to Paris from Dunkirk
 Tt was noon Sunday" said Lieutenant Whey, We. had left half an hour before on French biplane to look for subma- rines reported nearby. We rose 1000 feet and had been cruising about for sometime when we saw two submarines five miles off shore west of Nieuport
 1t was an ideal spot for our purpose The sea was shallow, giving the subma- rines little chance of escape By plung- ing in wide spirals we descended toward one of the boats which beging above a sand bank, could not dive. She made desperate efforts to get away steering in wild zig-zags.
 We realized we could not get her. and so turned our attention to the other. Ap- parently itEwas more difficult to handle her, and We bounced down on her We came to. about 300 feet above the sea. When we were certain of not missing we iCl So iiiS iilol DOIilD ana made hit. Even with the naked eye we could ob- serve that serious damage had been in fiicted. -
 We circled around twice more over the doomed submarine. A second bomb did the rest of the work. She broke in half and sank.
 We did not wait to see more. Mo- ments were precious. We had to get back to Dunkirlk as quickly as possible, for the submarines were sure to have given warning and we were liable to find our retreat cut off by the enemy's aero planes if we fingered"
 Lieutenant De Sincay has been recom- mended for the legion of honor. It is understood Lieutenant Whey will receive the Vict Ga Cross.
 The foregoing was first reported by Field Marshal French in an official com munication November @. The Overseas News agency of Berlin yesterday denied that a German submarine had been sunk by an aeroplane.

The reports from the F cars in this territory which entered this run demon- strate most conclusively the power, re- liability and easy riding qualities of the Studebaker cars when it is considered that the roads throughout our territory are all clay and sand, having no mac adam or paved roads of any kind.
 The average mileage per hour per car is phenomenal The Tampa car left the Atlanta branch for Tampa, a distance of ioO miles, and over 200 miles of these 700 were deep, soft sand, averaging in depth from six to eight inches, and in many places up to the axle This sand is d soft, white sand, known in this country wheel, giving you the feeling of riding over stones.
 Throughout the territory our runs were made over bad roads, only small DOT ton of the roads being fit for any speed over a0 miles per hour, and yet we find our average on all cars entered was ap- proximately % miles per hour for the en- tire 1000 miles. The gasoline consumption also Is unusually good. and we find some of our cars made as high as 20 miles per gallon. Tie Orlando, Fla, car on the last day of this run. averaged 20.4 miles per gallon with a four-cylinder touring car, loaded with five passengers.
 It gives us great pleasure to announce that the Atlanta branch territory fur nished more cars for this reliability run than any other branch in the Stude- baker organization. In all the 12 cars entered not a single case of mechanical trouble was experienced, all cars having finished with perfect score. The follow ing cars were entered, all of which start ed and finished their run:
