Renewal Heavy Attacks Against Turks Variously
 Interpreted in London.
WAR LORD DECIDES
 TO PUSH CAMPAIGN?
Admission in House of Lords that War Secretary Sent to Peninsula to De. termine Whether Project Should
 Be Abandoned,

London, Nov. 1S.-Coincident; with the arrival of Lord Kitchdhhr fin the Eastern Mediterranean theatre of op- erations, the British have opened heavy attacks against the Turks on i GallirQAi. tss
 They have captured 2sO yards of trenches. according to an Official statement issued by the war. office. The scene of the fighting was in Krithia Mullah. Of the trenches cap tured, 160 yards were to the east of the defile and 120 yards to the west.
 The advance marks important pro- gress toward Achi Baba hill, domi- mating position which, in the hands of the Turks, has proved thorn in the sides of the English and French landing forces. The significance of the new attacks. carried on simul- taneously with the arrival of Lord Kitchener in this region, is the ab- sorhing topic here tonight.
 The marquis of Lansdowne an- nounced in the house of lords today that the government had asked Lord Kitchener to visit Gallipoli to deter mine whether the British troops there should be withdrawn or not. This announcement came after Baron Ribbelsdale, addressing a question to the marquis of Lansdowne, had said that he understood Lieutenant -Gener- al Sir Chas S. Munro, commander Of the Dardanclles expedition, has re- ported in favor of withdrawal.
 The marquis of Lansdowne admit ted that such a report had been made. adding:
 "The government is of the opinion that MT. Munro's report and the evil dence accompanying it was insuffl- cient to enable the members to ar rive at conclusion on the question of policy involved. For this reason, Earl Kitchener was asked to visit the east.'
 Whether the new offensive of the British marks the determination of Earl Kitchener to carry on the Dar- danelles campaign with more vigor than ever. or whether the attacks are merely covering movements for a withdrawal. is being eagerly discuss ed by military experts tonight.

 Baby'S Death Was Justified

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Science will de- tcrmine tomorrow whether the death of Baby Bolinger" was justifiabre. Six of the most widely known medi- cal and surgical men of the country. forming coroner Hoffman's jury will complete the inquest begun today. They will decide whether science can uphold the stand taken by pr. H. J. Haiselden, in his refusal to perform the operation, which he says. would have saved the baby's life. They have been asked to add to their report whether Baby Bolinger would have lived, if the physician had operated. They will probably make recom- mendations also in regard to the general course to be taken hereafter in the cases of children born hope. lessly defective.
 When the physicians emerged from their private conference after the second post mortem. they declared they had entered compact to say nothing about their preliminary de- terminations in the case.
 Defects of Baby.
 The report of Dr. Reinhardt on the defects of the baby. confirmed by the physicians autopsy, showed the fol- lowing:
 That the baby had double kidney. with a connecting tube to the blad- der, on the left side.

 "To the Citizens of Arkansas:
 "The question has been asked many times as to whether or not would become a candidate for reelection. I have never at any time made a declaration to anyone that I would. It is true I have had many strong solicitations to make the race. My friends throughout the state have urg ed me on many occasions to offer for reelection. They have pledged me their support, and many have made strong appeals to me to pursue this course. For all of this I am pro foundly grateful. But in view of the fact that stahd in my. speeches during my first campaign the follow ing, to-wit: ~ss.
 "'Ln conclusion, I say to you that will, 10 the best of my ability, car ry out the principles of government for which stand, and upon my sac red honor as a man and in the sight of Him by whose help alone all good ends are accomplished, I pledge you and every citizen of my beloved na~ tive state that will faithfully, im- partially perform my duty to you as see 1t and return to you at the end Of that time the office your trust has placed in my keeping, without spot or blemish.'

That the right ear was gone. That the bladder was found to be full of water. which could have been squeezed out easily.
 That the stomach, though dilateu, vas empty.
 The presence of blood in the spina! canal, just outside the "tuft" cover ing, if it had continued, would have produced complete paralysis of the body, Dr. Haiselden explained.
 These additional findings, it is be- iieved, will convince the coroner and he physicians that Dr. Haiselden could have prolonged the life of the child only a little while, at the mos. and will completely exonerate him.
 Mrs. Bolingsr mother Of the de- fective infant was told today of the death. She made no comment ex- cept to repeat that denial of the simple operation which would have saved the baby's life was best for all concerned. Haisellen Praised and Condemned. Dr. H. J. Haiselden, on whose ad- vice the mother acted, was visited by many medical men today and tele- phone calls alternately accused and praised him. He remained firm in his conviction that death was the greatest blessing fer the infant.
 The principal physical deformities of the baby are the closure of the in- testinal tract, paralysis of the nerves of the right side of the face, the absence of the right ear, blindness of one eye, and malformation of it's shoulders. pr. Haiselden noted the absence of a neck. The brain he found to be only slightly subnormal. but the cranial nerves were absent or undeveloped.
 If he grew up he would be hope less cripple and would suffer from fits" said the doctor. Would his mind be clear? Would his soul be normally alive?" asked one of the visitors.

Hays Acted Wisely.

While Governor Hays states he will not become a candidate for re-elec- tion because of a campaign promise, it is believed by many that the im- polling motive was a realization that his chances of success were slender. A Pine Bluff man, who is familiar with the situation, stated last night that the governors announcement was no surprise to him, as he knew that men upon whom the governor relied would urge upon MT. Hays the wisdom of retiring without seeking reelection.

NEW TENNIS BALL
CAUSING BIG TALK
Paramount Ball May Revolutionize
Net Came-Departmental League
Adopts 1t as Official.

\ new line in a tennis ball has been
introduced to the local followers of the
net game by the G. H. White Sport
ing Goods Company. which may revolu-
tionize the tennis world.
The ball Is made by the Paramount
Rubber Company of Trenton. n. j.. and
has but one seam, which is the same
thickness as the walls of the balls.
The real feature of the make in the ball
is that it has no plug on the interior
and will never cause any rattle or bad
bounces which are seen in other balls
which have the plug center.
A tennis ball made minus both the
four seams and the plug can be truly
termed evenly balanced. making 1t pos
sible for difficult and scientific shots to
be executed with accuracy.
This ball is under patented process
and has made quite hit with all noted
tennis players who have used it. The
newly formed Departmental Tennis
League has adopted it as the official
ball of that circuit. while the tennis team
from the Naval Academy will use 1t In
all its championship games.
