KAISER, AS PATRIOT, IS
 MORE LOVED THAN EVER.
Emperor Has Added to His Popularity
 at Home, Observer Finds.

The. neutral observer of the Lon don Times in Germany writes that he has noticed q subtle change in the DO stion of Kaiser Wilhelm in the estl- nation of the German people. He has fallen into the background when com. pared with Non IIindenburg. Von Mac kensen or Non Weddigen, but at the same time he was never so popular before.
 Nobody makes the kaiser responsi- bic for the war" the correspondent writes Everybody believes he tried to prevent it and that when it was brnusht on by the determination of foes the kaiser shouldered the heavy burden with the deepest sorrow.
 He sacrificed all his personal inter ests for the sake of the country. He willingly accepted a subordinate posi- ton to give free play to men able to command victory.
 He is regarded as having set an example of simple living and is said to have shown the utmost regard for the susceptihllities of the federal soy ereigns and their people He has thus

 He is represented as having waive | every consideration that might have initiated against practical efficiency in waging war This has greatly added to the love his own people have for him.
 The crown prince, on the other hand, Is in very different position. He was hailed at first as great lead CT. but he has gradually faded out of sight and is scarcely ever mentioned The kaiser's other sons have also ceased to enjoy prominent publicity"

Shrapnel Spattcred among the small boats. The men did not reply. They could see nothing to fire at.
 The boats were run on to the beach. The men jumped out, ankle deep in water. They ran up the beach for Seventy-five yards and threw them selves prone on the sand behind any little hummock they could find. Three or four men remained in each boat and poled it frantically back to the steam launch, which took 1t in tow and headed for the transports for an other load.
 Hour after hour men piled ashore from the transports. The line of dis. embarkment was more than mile long
 The second detachment ran forty or fifty feet in advance of the first land ing party before throwing themselves flat on the sand. The third party went the same distance in advance of the second, and so on.
 At first the firing line was only a mile broad. It was gradually length ened to cover the whole nose of the peninsula. Finally the line was more than two miles long.
 The first detachment took terrible punishment Dead and wounded were everywhere. The wounded had little show There was no place to move them. They received rough first aid treatment and were dragged to the shelter of some small hills They suf- fered greatly later in the day from the sun and heat. At the close of the day the medical corps got supplies ashore and erected temporary hospitals under the lee of cliff.

Losses Were Terrific.

Every man was at last ashore, and an advance in open order was made. Slowly but surely the allies army GOV cred ground. The French had landed at Rum Kale, on the Asatic side. That was only Il trick to keep the Turks guessing as to where the real attack was to be made.
 While the land forces were striving nightly to make their position secure the great hattieships strung out from each end of the transport fleet thun- dercd out fire and shell at tremen dous rate. The terrific bomb0rdment and the vicious attacks of the Aus traliau troops won the day. The Turks retrcatcd behind their second line of defense. They left many dead and wounded on the field. They also lost many prisoners.
 The British troops built rude breast works and prepared to hold the cap tured ground at any cost The first days losses were terrific. More than 2O0O were dead.
 When the position on Gallipoli pen insula became secure the big part of the disembarkment started. Great strings of lighters, piled high with all sorts of war materials, were beached. Thousands of sweating swearing, half clad men toiled frantically in the hot afternoon sun As accompaniment they had the cheerful music of dozen or more battleships banging away at the Turk entrenchments.
 At dark the men Juggling supplies were relieved. It was time too. They were nearly done for. Most of them dropped exhausted ill the warm sand. Also there had been some suffering be- cause of the water. Emphatic orders had been issued prohibiting men from drinking water from Turkish wells. All the water for the men came from the ships. The small boats were so occupied they had little time for wa ter, consequently all the afternoon there was q constant cry for water, water"
 But the work did not stop. Thou sands of fresh men leaped to relieve their exhausted comrades At night half hundred searchlights made the beach as light as day. The men work ed in shifts Toward morning the com missary got some portable kitchens ashore, and the men had breakfast
 The second day of the landing oper- ations was, however, it's real trial. From morning until dark 15.00O men worked to their utmost to get the last of the supplies ashore. Men struggled alternately with heavy siege guns and with barbed wire The men at the front, frantlcally engaged in digging trenches, used up the barbed wire as fast as it could be taken to them. But the task was done
 Forty hours of terrible, life taking toll did it-that is, the time it took the British forces to land on the ex- tremity of Gallipoli peninsula. It was really one of the remarkable incidents of the war The operation was q mar vel of perfection as to systematic prep aration and execution. The Greek gen eral staff had estimated that if the al- Hes succeeded in landing at all the at tempt would take them seven days.

 of Seven Days.

A GRAPHIC and stirring descrip- A ton of the landing of the al LA lied army at the Dardanelles
 is given In dispatch from Athens by an American war core spondent who has seen the reports of the foreign military observers accom- panying the British and French forces.
 The general staff of the Greek army, he says, regards the achievement as one of the most remarkable operations of the war. The troops accomplished their landing in forty hours, forcing their way despite heavy losses under hot fire, while thousands struggled in the glare of searchlights and amid q terrific cannonade to put the supplies ashore.
 In the reports of the military at. taches two features are mentioned as standing out-the careful, systematic and detailed preparation, and then the surprising speed with which the disem- barkation was carried out and the foot hold on the soil seized
 The plan of action was arranged eight weeks before at series of mill tary conferences in London, Paris and Malta. Every detail of it went through without Il hitch. Concentration of troops and supplies began Immediately. Thousands of men left England secret ly under cover of darkness, crossed the English channel and proceeded to Mar seilles to embark on transports for Egypt.

At the same time those French troops that could be spared from Europe also were transported to the land of the Nile.

Tenedos as Supply Depot.

X fleet of cargo boats freighted to the islands huge quantities of food. scores of heavy siege guns and thousands of boxes of ammunition. Although most of the supplies destined for the use of the troops after they landed in Turkey were taken to the islands of TenedOs and Mudros the troops themselves re mained in Egypt until the final rush for the Dardanelles.
 When eventually one morning before daybreak the transports steamed out of Alexandria they made line nearly eighteen miles long The admiral at Mudros was advised by wireless. At Mudros and at Tenedos were stored thousands of tons of supplies. Every available warehouse was filled to the roof. Monster piles of boxes and bales extended along the beach. At once the work of loading hundreds of light CTS, requisitioned from half the ports of the eastern Mediterranean. was pushed to completion.
 A little less than forty-eight hours after il left Alexandria the fleet of transports, conveyed by dozen battle ships and half a hundred destroyers, passed Tenedos. Three hours later powerful tugs towing long strings of lighters steamed out of Tenedos and MudrOs and fell into line many miles to the rear of the transport fleet.
 Started at Daybreak.
 Just at daybreak ten or twelve boats loaded to the gunwales with khaki clad soldiers wearing big tropical hel- mets put off from each transport to be the first to land on the tip of Gal hpoli. Steam launches from the bat tleships lowed the boats to shore in strings of five or six. It was three quarters of mile to shore.
 Half the distance had been covered when perfect hail of bullets and

interest people is the fact that lig-
