The allies attack on the Darda-
nelles. both by land and by sea. ap-
parently has begun in earnest but in
the face of strong resistance ON the
part Of the Turkish forces.
Having landed successfully at six
different places on the Gallpoi pc
ninsula the British and Australian
troops are declared by the British
war office TO have entrenched and
consolidated their positions on line
extending from the southern extreme
ity of the peninsula to point almost
behind the famous Turkish forts pro-
tecting the narrows Of the Darda-
nelles. Both the army and the sup
porting fleet. London says, have be-
gun to engage the batteries all along
this front
The landing Of troops was effected
only after stubborn resistance by the
Turks, during which heavy casualties
We're inflicted on the British. That
the allies viii be forced to fight their
way everywhere seems probable.
Constantinople reports that the
French armed cruiser Jeanne Dare
has been set on fire and the British
battleships Majestic and Triumph
damaged by Turkish shells and all
of them forced to retire from action;
that a British torpedo boat destroyer
has been sunk at the entrance of the
Dardanelles; that two allies trans
ports were badly damaged BY shell
fire and one of them beached and
that some boats and sailing vessels
were sunk. The thousands Of shells
hurled by sixteen armored cruisers
attacking the Turkish advance bat
teries In the narrOws are declared by
Constantinople TO have resulted only
in the wounding of number of sol
diers The British claim that Turkish
troop ship was sent to the bottom in
side the straits BY shells from the
battleship Queen Elizabeth.
Paris reports big allied gains to
the north Of Ypres in the taking of
tow successive lines Of trenches and
many prisoners Berlin asserts that
the Germans still hold the bridge
head on the western bank of the ca
nal near Steenstrate and Het Sas and
the eastern side of the waterway
north of Yprcs. 1t is declared further
that an attempt by the French
against the German right wing in
this region was repulsed.
There has been some fighting ut
other points along the western line,
the most important of which was be-
tween the Meuse and the Moselle. |

OPPORTUNITIES

panment Declares America.
May Take First Place Com
merCiaIIy as Result of War.

tbf MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LtAstD NiNkl
Philadelphia. April 3O.-How best
to take advantage of the opportunity
for foreign trade expansion after the
European war, was discussed today
at the opening sessions of the annual
meetings of fhe American academy
of political and social science.
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld,
one of the principal speakers, saw
a vast increase coming in the
countrys foreign commerce. SO vast
would the increase be. he said, that
he thought no one would be surpris-
cd if the United states should take
second. If not first. place in the COM
meree Of the world.
Theodore II. Price, economist, Of
New York, said that the prospect for
trade expansion was such that
Americans are in danger of develop
ing big head" lie said the outlook
was so good that he feared "our self
conceit' might encourage industrial
inertia.
1t was the sense of several speak
ers that in the solution of the prob.
lem of the unemployed, the national
and state governments should do
more than they have done in the past
in finding work for idle men and that
there should be cooperation between
the federal and state governments.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Frank j. Warne, of Washington.
urged that the government should
study closely the question of immi-
grafton and If necessary restrict the
inflow of workmen from Europe af-
ter the war so not to upset economic
conditions by surplus of labor.
Among the speakers was |. Wolf,
Jr., president Of the American Cham
Der OF Commerce in Berlin. He said
there was a great opportunity COM
ing to the United States for trade ex
pansion in Germany and Austria
Daniel Falkmore, of the department
of commerce. gave some details of
the large increase i'm American
trade with India since the war be-
gan and told of opportunities of
making the increase permanent after
the conflict is over.
Dr. Simon N, Patton of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, was also a
speaker at the afternoon session. In
discussing "the menace to America
of European war expenditures, he
said that no matter how destructive
the war is, none of the resources oft
the world would be disturbed.
Secretary Redfield in a speech
said both Germany and Great Britain
were in danger of losing their su
premacy in the foreign trade, if the
war continued,
"A floating debt of the United |
states Of perhaps s400,000,000 hasl
been paid in goods, and not in gold,
he said. Some of the gold we had
exported to pay for what we owed
before the war has come back to us
in pay for debts due us. 1t amounts
since the first OF December to over
5000, 900, 900. We are saving money as
a nation at an astonishing rate The
nations of the world turn to us fort
cash.

TWO TORPED0ES SUNK

London. i:22 a. m.)--1he following
details OF the sinking of the French
cruiser Leon Gabetta have been re-
ceiyed from Lieutenant Won Trapp,
the commander of the submarine u-5
which sent the cruiser to the bottom:
"A French cruiser with covered
lights was sighted at midnight twenty
miles southeast of Cape III Leuca.
The submarine from distance of
500 meters (about 800 feeD fired a
torpedo AT her stern and followed IL
with a second torpedo amidships.
Both hit. From the heeling of the
cruiser | concluded that a third tor
pedo was not necessary.
Mine minutes after the second
shot the ship disappeared. Despite
the short interval the French lowered
five boats which are believed 20 have
been saved as the sea was calm.

The German soldiers seem to get

don't like until they get to know

sion the English prisoners have to
thank their squawking press and its
atrocity yarns.
After few days the Germans and
the English get on better though the
guards complain that some of their
English prisoners are "frech," which
is not the German word for fresh,
