D~ARDANELLES FIGHT
AN EPOCH MAKING ONE
To Go Down In History as
MOm0niOus Struggle

London.-When a combined squadron
of British and French warships began
the task of forcing a passage OF the
Dardanelles on Nov. 8 of last year
probably few realized the magnitude
OF the task they had set for themselves.
Ii was four months from the date of
that opening shot that word OF any
progress was reported.
Ii was only when the British super
Dreadnought Queen Elizabeth. armed
with eight f~fteen-inch guns and lying
from eight to ten miles offshore. hurled
tons and tons Of metal into the outer
Notifications at the entrance to the
Dardanelles that the first breach was
made In the supposedly ~impregnable
defenses.
This wonderful marine lighting ma
chine, the Queen Elizabeth. was only
N OF a feet OF forty warships sent to
hammer down the forts that guard the
forty mile long passage through the
sea Of Marmora and to Constantinople
beyond. Engaged with her In the task,
which may be regarded as comparable
to that OF storming the rock OF Gibral-
tar. were the Dreadnoughts Agamem.
non. Irresistible. Vengeance. Cornwall
lis. Triumph. Albion and Majestic.
most of which were armed with four
tw~elve-inch guns each. and the French
pre- Dreadnoughts Gaulois. Sufrren and
Charlemagne.
Opposing the passage OF these en-
gines of destruction is a continuous
line of Notifications on both sides Of
the narrow strait. supplemented with
deadly sea mines and several subma-
rines.
The one enormous advantage pos
sessed by the attacking force Is in the
superior range Of Its guns. Opposed to
the twelve and fifteen inch guns Of the
combined feet, the greatest guns of the
forts are pieces Of 1912 inch caliber.
From the beginning Of the forcing OF
the Dardanelles early in November all
the Notifications within range Of the
larger guns OF the attacking feet were
subjected to desultory bombardment.
The end of February. however. marked
the starting of the attack In deadly
earnest Two days of constant pound
ing battered down the forts guarding
the entrance TO the strait from the
Mediterranean.
Military experts agree that the
strength Of the defenses OF the Oar
danelles grows from the entrance as
they near Constantinople. When the
present great val passes Into history
no more momentous struggle viii be
recorded than that Of the attempt of
the allies feet to force the passage
toward the Golden Horn.

Ferguson was the son-in-law of Wins

Ballot Form Is Explained.

Secretary of State Power has re-
ceived so many inquiries from county
executive committeeman as to how the
ballot to be used in the August pri-
mary should be printed, and there is
apparently so much doubt entertained
as to what is right, that he has con-
suited the attorney general. Assistant
Attorney General Ethridge, in the alb.
sence OF Mr. Collins, has advised the
secretary OF state that 1t would be
legal in those counties in which the
ticket is Of great length to use the
double column, or even If necessary in
triple columns. The only inviolate
rule is that the entire ballot is to be
printed on one sheet or slip of paper.
There is no law specifying the dimen-
sions or size of the voting slip, either
in length or width.

Marley Seeks Bail.

1t is probable that strong efforts will
be made to secure bail for q. j. Mar
ley, the Tallahatchie county man now
held in Jail to await further trial on
the charge of murder of T. ]. Wylie In
the town of Sumner more than year
ago. Just what proceedings will be
begun to secure bail is not yet fully
decided. The offense for which he
was indicted was committed in the
jurisdiction Of the Seventeenth cir
cult court district, but following his
conviction, and while pending the
prosecution of his appeals in the SUI
preme cohrt, habeas corpus proceed
ings were unsuccessfully sued out in
court.
The new effort to secure bail, 1t is
held, can be secured either through
habeas corpus application entered in
the courts Of the Seventeenth district,
or by going before judge of the su-
preme court in vacation.
