against the capture of the Swedish
steamer forster and the sinking of the
Swedish steamer Verdandi, both Of

nothing aboard which the Germans
could consider contraband.

[From a stan Correspondent ~ The Thbunel
Albany, June 18.-Ths placing Of
the pension systems the state on a

Of an amendment introduced to-day in
the Constitutional Convention by Seth
Low, ex--yor Of 'ew York.
There Las be,n considerable talk
about the unsoundness Of many Of the

p. rticularly those Of school teachers

BILE for sIch cond.ti ms again TO OBJ
tain if the Low am n Mt became
part of the organic law OF the state.
The Low proposal provides that no
pension system shall be created by
t y state, Cr by any Of its political
subdivisions, except upon an actuarial
basis certified 20 as sound by some
competent actuary.
An amendment offered by Peter
Donovan, of The Bronx, would permit
the Legislature to pass laws for the
quarantining and treatm II Of all per-
sons suffering fiom - iijoase caused
by a specific animal pc son. Among
diseases coming under this head are
the so-cclled social disc ,es.

stitutional office. The amendment was
drafted by the justices Of the curt.
A literacy test as a qualification for
voters is proposed in an amendment
introduced in the convention to-day by

BRITISH RETREAT
AT DARDANELLES
Fleet Takes Refuge from
U-Boats and Turks
Drive Army Back.

Berlin, June Is (by wireless 70 Say
vile, y. Y).-The correspondent of The
Associated Press at Constantinople, in
a dispatch which does not show the day
Of its sending, says that ne was reh-
ably informed that the British fleet
had taken refuge from German sub
marines in Kefala Bay, on the north
east coast of lmbros Island, ten miles
from the Gallipoli coast. The British
ships could be seen from heights on
shore at anchor in the bay.
On three different occasions the
Turks have been successful in eXplod-
ing mines under British vessels in their
place of refuge.
An inspection Of the Turkish posi-
lions at Avi Burnu, on the west coast
of the Gallipol peninSula, shows that
the British have now lost most of the
ground formerly held in that district.
They now hold only a small crescent
70 the northward of Gaba Tepe, on the
west coast Of the peninsula near its
extremity, $500 yards long and l.lOO
yards wide at its broadest point. This
position includes three small barren
Interests and a beach below. The Brit
ish troops have little water, and they
are without shelter from the sun.
London, June 1S-No definite news
from the Dardanelles front has reached
London, but q sudden drop in the Rus
sian exchanges indicates that bankers
either have received an intimation of
an important success in that region or
that for some other reason they now
take an optimistic view regarding the
prospects that the strait will soon be
open TO the Allies.
