London.-Three of the Allies bat
tleships have been sent to the bottom
OF The Dardanelles by the combined
action of floating mines and a heavy
fire from the Turkish forts defending
the gateway to Constantinople.
The victims were the French bat
tleships Bouvet and the British battle
ships Ocean and Irresistible. Most of
the crew of the Bouvet were drowned,
while a majority of the crews of the
British ships were saved.
Beside the three battleships report
ed from London and Paris, the Turks
declare an English torpedo boat was
sunk by the fire from the forts It the
Narrows. The French warships eau
lois was put out of commission, &C
cording to an official report from
Paris, admitting the loss of the other
three battleships and 500 men.
Following this desperate and costly.
attempt to force the Narrows, the AL
lied fleet is said to have withdrawn
entirely from the strait. Two of the
Turkish batteries are reported to have
been silenced by the rain of shells
from the warships.
Both the British and French Admir-
alties, in announcing the Allies loss
es, declare the disaster will not inter-
fere with The Dardanelles operations
in the slightest. The lost ships will
be replaced and the attack on the
forts will be carried on until the Strait
is passed. Naval experts say that
both France and Great Britain expect
ed to pay a big price for the posses
sion of Constantinople and that the
general scheme discounts even great
er losses.
Turkish warships, the Porte's War
Office announces, have bombarded
the Russian torpedo boat base west of
Theodosia in the Crimea, setting fire
to many buildings and damaging Rus
sian war craft.
1t is officially confirmed that a Rus
sian squadron has approached the nor
thern part of the Bosphorus, says
Rueter's P%etrograd correspondent.
The appearance of the squadron
caused a great panic in CONSTANT
nople.

London.-Paris has been attacked
from the air for the tenth time since
the war began.
TWo Zeppelins, sent out, according
TO the Berlin official statement, "to rem
der more impressive our reply to the
mlsdeeds of two French ayiators at
the open Alsatian town of Schlett-
stadt," sailed over the French capital
IN the early morning hours, dropping
nifty bombs which started fires
and did considerable damage to sew
eral factories, but failed to kill any
body.
Heavy fire from the guns of the
forts greeted the unwelcome visitors
and a squadron of a~eroplanes rose to
give them battle, but the Zeppelins
made their escape. Bombs were also
dropped on the railroad station at
Compiegne, 40 miles northeast Of
Paris.
~Torpedoed by a German submarine
OF Beachy Head on the Channel coast,
the British steel freighter, Cairntorr,

adoat three hours. Her crew of 80
men escaped in the boats.
There is plenty of action all along
the western battle front, according to
the Germans, whose official report
tells of capturing a height from the
French in Alsace, making a big adj
vance north of Beauscjour, destroying
a French observation post protected
by a Red Cross flag on the Cathedral
at SCISSORS, repulsing the French near
Lorette and bringing down a British
aeroplane near Ypres.
Italy issued an order calling to the
colors its officers of all arms belong

Austrian and German subjects have
been advised by their Consuls to get
out of Italy without delay.

Germans Fight Wireless Suit.
The German corporation which owns
the wireless station at Tuckerton has
asked the Court Of Chancery to dis
miss the suit brought by a French cor
poration to gain possession of the
Tuckerton station.
The answer says the real object OF
the suit is to bring about a cessation
of communication between Germany
and the United States.
The United States Government took
charge of the sending and receiving
of messages at the Tuckerton station
on September 8, 1914.

P~rogressives to Confer.
The future of the Progressive party
in New Jersey is to be determined to
a large extent at a State conference

The announcement of this coming

Progressives, who in recent weeks
have been casting about for new POI

The main purpose of the coming
State conference is to secure con.

One criticism of the present Stata

it results in confusion in making a

will be increased by at least $75O,0 900

The Republicans have talked about

declared that the situation at this time
looks very much as though the State

ECHO OF ELOPEMENT

The Pueblo Chieftain OF Wednes-
of our west-end friends:
"A romance with the resultant
activity of the sheriff came to light
yesterday in letter received by
County Clerk E. C. Highberger from
Sheriff Frank Goad of Del Norte,
Rio Grande county. 1t made in
quiry whether or not a marriage Ii
cense had been granted here since
January / to William Johnson, alias
William Wells, and Sophia Butter
four
"A strenuous effort to locate the
eloped couple has been made by the
relatives of the girl and the officers
of Rio Grande county, without sue
cess. Sheriff Goad stated that he
had traced them to Pueblo, and had
ried here. A Del Norte man re-
turned from Pueblo and told Sher-
if Goad that he saw the missing
pair in Pueblo and talked with
them.
IAN examination of the marriage
record showed that no marriage IL
cense to a couple by the names given
has been issued in Pueblo county.
The sheriff's letter, which included
a photograph Of the missing Lochin-
var, indicated that he also is want
ed at Del Norte for other reasons
than on the elopement charge"
Johnson is a half-breed Mexican
who has been living west OF Del
Norte. He deserted his wife and
eight children in January, and since
that time he has sought by Sheriff
Goad. Just recently the news was
received that the deserter was seen
with Miss Butterfour in Pueblo and
the chase has been resumed.

On stock farm near Syracuse, y

enough TO run about the calf resolute
" repudiated It's Jersey mother and
insisted on being fed by the mare.
Regularly every morning the cali

the calf enjoying the nouFishment
which It considered It's own exclusive
right. the colt would charge on the in

back Of the neck. would yank it away
from the maternal fount and take its
place.
So. far from forgetting It's youthful
enmtty for TIE calf, the colt has grown
up hating everything bovine, The
farmer has rad to erect high fence

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THlna
Duck Raiser Found Pepsin Of cenvid-
erahIe Value, But He Has Dis
continued Its usc.

Refusing to eat any kind or food
offered to them, Charles Koch OF Port
Chester, N. 2, concluded that his
flock Of one dozen ducks had form
Of dyspepsia and decided to doctor
them himself. His method was not
entirely original. for he procured pep
sin tablets and, dissolving them IN
wnter. he contrIved to get the fluid
dowa their Threats with the aid of a
metal tube. Releasing them one by
one he sat down in the house to SEQ
what happened.
Almost magical effects were noted.
Instead Of declining their usual pro
vender, they ate It with aviGIty and
came back for more. Scraps from the
family dinner table also disappeared
IN similar manner. Delighted wIth
the success Of his experiment Koch
administered additional doses OF tiuld
pepstn. Ducks eggs were one result.
But now the entire flock seems to
. be always hungry. That las its disa.
greeable features. Seven O'Clock 10
the morning is the customary feedins
time for the ducks. but 1t IS different
now. The ducks know where Koch
sleeps, and they assemble under hts
bedroom window and quack in chorus
before five o'clock. keeping up the
din until he throws some food to
them. Two hours or SO later they re-
sumo their cIamor. So it goes all day.
Koch is getting eggs, but he is losing
sleep.
Take It from me-" he says, "I have
Ttepped the pepsin."
