FORTESQUE DESCRIBES
DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN
Geographic Society Hears Lecturer
Tell How British Troops Storm
ed Turk Forces.

Capt Granville Fortesque. who spent
some time on the Gallipoli front. told
about the Dardanelles campaign in a lee
ture before members of the National
Geographic Society at New Masonic
Temple last night. He laid particular
emphasis upon the extraordinary diffi-
culties which the allied French and Eng
lish soldiers have had to face and over
come. and characterized the bravery of
to the shell. rife and machine gun-swep,
low levels as a bravery without parallel
in history.
''The character OF Gallipoli can only be
described as one OF concentrated rugged
ness" he continued. TT seems as though
nature had gathered upon all the odds
and ends Of contours used throughout the
world and dumped them into Gallipoli.
Mountain and valley and cliff and ravine
are piled UP and jumbled there-a won
derful fort improvised by nature. And
the Turks. under German instruction,
have improved every minute since the
first attack. improving the natural de-
fenses.
They have woven a line OF barb wire
all around the peninsula" Capt For
tesque explained. There are acres and
acres OF barb wire around the positions
of the Turks. 1t is a principal Of war
that troops should not be sent against
barb-wire entanGlements unless supported
and screened by shell fire. yet military
necessity has sent battalion after bat
talon Of British troops. unsupported.
against these defenses. and the body OF
many a brave British infantryman lies
rotting among them"
Telling OF conditions in Constantinople
during the time Of his stay. Capt. For
tesque said there were no appearances of
food shortage.

DISTRICT BUDGET MUST
BE PRUNED, SAYS PAGE
Probable Head of Appropriation Sub
committee Declares Some Proposals
Are Mere Padding.

Representative Robert n. Page, of
North Carolina. who probably will be in
charge of the District appropriation bill,
declared yesterday that after cursory
investigation of the District Commits
sioners' estimates he believed that many
of the innovations suggested were good.
although a number would have to be
stricken out.
Just from a look at the total amount
asked for declared Representative
Page, II should say that the totals would
have to be trimmed a good deal. al
though I am disposed to be liberal, as
believe the last two District bills
show.
II see a number Of good proposals in
the bill-that is. good in themselves, with
out taking into consideration the condi-
ton of the Treasury-and a number of
proposals which I am inclined to think
were put in to pad the bill up to an
appropriation of twice the revenue of
the District
Il have not studied the estimates as
yet, and probably shall not turn to them
again, il at all, until the subcommittee
of the appropriations committee are ap-
pointed-and that will not be before next
week"
