BEAUTIFUL STATUE
RUINED IN Civil WAR
Headless and Armies, It Causes
Comment Today Among Pass
ing Westinghouse.

Tales Of the destruction of many OF
the priceless statues of Europe during the
current war is recalling to number of
Washingtonians the fact that in this city
is to be found a statue which lived
through centuries of cruder civilization
only to be partially damaged during the
civil war in this country That statue,
name,ess, and since 1t was injured by
soldiers during the great civil conflict,
headless and armless, stands today OPP
posite the United States Capitol. in the
yard of Lot Flannery, sculptor, who owns
1t.
Hundreds Of persons daily pass the
statue, partially hidden by trees, and
scores who travel that way frequently
stop to comment and wonder. Even with
out its head and arms the statue presents
a graceful appearance
The entire history of the statue is not
known: indeed. it would be more nearly
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-07-11

accurate to say that but a small part of
it's history is known. 1t dates back be-
fore the time of Christ
The statue was brought from Athens
before the civil war by Commodore Boyle
of the United States Navy, who presented
it to his brother. DIR. Boyle, who at that
time kept watering place at White
Sulphur Springs, Va. Dr. Boyle placed
the statue, still in its entirety, above the
entrance to his hotel. .
During the civil war Union soldiers
were encamped in the vicinity of the
hotel. A number of them, in spirit of
mischief. pulled the work of art to the
ground by means Of rope. 1t was at
this time the head and arms were
broken. Then the soldiers set up the
statue and used it as target.
Asked yesterday if he had ever thought
of trying to restore the head and arms,
Mr.. FIannery answered, mo, no. That
would be cruel"
So it is probable that the headless.
armless and yet interesting piece Of work
will remain without change, continuing
to attract the attention and curiosity of
passers-by.

PARIS DESCRIBES GAINS
IN DARDANELLES ZONE
Bravery Of French Troops in Charg-

PARIS, July 10. SOS p.m.-An official
announcement given out in Paris today
reviews the results of the military oper-
atoms in the Dardanelles between June
8 and June "a.
Previous to June 81 the daily engage
ments were relatively unimportant. but
on the 21st a general offensive move
ment was organized by the French expe-
dictionary force and resulted in the cap
turing of two lines of trenches. The
principal objective was the position
known "Haricot." around which forti-
fication the struggle has continued for
the past six weeks. This position was
stormed on three sides and although
the officer in command of the French ex
petition was severely wounded, the
French forces continued to advance
bravely and succeeded IN gaining a foot
hold in the second line of trenches and
In capturing portion of the redoubt.
The fight lasted throughout the day
and at nightfall the lieutenant colonel in
command gave orders to charge on the
fort and regain the territory which. |
during the AFTERNOON, the French troops |
mad been forced to evacuate. Ten min |
utes later the whole line of trenches
again was in possession of the French, !
and the Turks had been routed.
Repulse Counter Attack.
The French at once began to prepare
their new positions TO withstand the |
counter attack which it was evident the |
Turks contemplated. This work was par
ticularly difficult, as the French We're |
continually under the fire of several long |
range runs removed by the Turks from
the former German cruiser Goeben and |
brought overland from Adrianople.
At o'clock the following morning the |
Turks made {. furious counter attack but |
they were repulsed by the excellent in |
fantry and artillery fire of the French. |
This last attack cost the Turks entire /
regiments, and the French gained the |
key position of Kereves De Re.
