Of Damage to Fleet Of Allies.
Dardanelles, Thursday. March 1S. via
Constantinople and Berlin, March p,
and via London, March 24-One French
battleship, the Bouvet, sent to the bot
tom; one British battleship, name un-
known as yet to observers on shore,
driven on the beach and battered to
pieces, and three other ships Of the
allies damaged to such an extent that
it was found necessary to take them
from action, while on the other side the
Turkish forts have hot been silenced
and their losses are nominal. These are
details of the effort of the allied fleet
made on March IS to force the Dar-
danelles.
Action Lasts Seven Hours.
The action lasted seven hours, dur
ing which time there was a terrific
cannonade from the ships Of the allies
and the Turkish forts. The fire from
the fleet at times was severe, while
the Turkish gunners retained their pre-
cision wonderfully even when they
were buried in earth and debris, which
the exploding shells from the warships
threw broadcast.
The allies appeared about 1880 in
the morning, throwing their shells in
the town Of Chanak Kalessi. Their
vessels at this hour numbered four
French and five British battleships.
Later Ave other British warships en-
tered the bay and the bombardment
became truly terrific. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press took shell
ter in Fort Chimelik. but he was driven
out by shells to q position on the hills
outside the town. But even this hill
already was buring in two places as
the result Of exploding shells.
Ships Shells Do Damage.
In the beginning the range of the
French and British gunners was ex-
cellent. A shell fell on Fort Sultana
tower and tore large hole in the
masonry. This routed out party Of
newspaper correspondents. Several
houses were knocked to pieces by ex-
ploding shells
While the correspondents were on
tha water front several large shells ex-
plotled 100 yards away. This attention
rom the British, British, ss.r..ers was due to
the fact that the correspondents party
was moving along in the center Of q
body Of soldiers.

CHIEF IRON TAIL

The old circus man had blood in
his eye.
Far be it from me-" he said. ito
traduce any OF our esteemed con-
temporaries, but the way in which
certain shows are claiming TO have
the original and only Iron Tail. the
noted Sioux chief whose profile is
on the new buffalo nickel, tempts
one TO make use OF the Rooseveltian
shorter and uglier world
In a way this desire on the part
OF other shows TO claim Iron Tail
as n feature is a compliment TO Nil.
Ter Bros. & Arlington, who have
the old chief under a five-years' con-
tract by arrangement with the In.
dian bureau of the United States
government. and il Is at the same
time an evidence of the interest that
attaches TO the personality OF this
much-heralded Indian. A number
OF small Wild West shows claim to
have the old chief. and even one OF
the big circuses presents an old In
dian in its wild west annex which
Is declared to be the real Iron Tail.
There Is a very simple method Of
proving the truth or falsity OF these
claims. Keep one OF the buffalo
nickels, and when the 101 Ranch
show exhibits In Detroit. Friday and
