WELSH SOLDIERS
 SONG BRINGS TRUCE

London, February 20.-tCorrespond- | ence of the Associated Press "A song | into which Welsh soldier with a mag | nificent voice put his heart and soul brought about a temporary truce dur ing the fighting near DiXmude recently The soldier who writes of the incident says:
 Tt was miserable night. A heavy rain had filed the trenches kneedeep with half frozen mud. There was no tsound except the 'plop' of a German bull let against the earth of the parapet and the crack of British rifle in re- turn.
 We were unprepared for any break In the dull misery of our routine when out or the darkness came a voice. It was merry Welsh ballad called Hob V deri dando,' sung in as fine voice as one could hear on the stage It was the cheeriest sound I ever heard At the end round of applause came down the trenches. But imagine our surprise TO hear clapping and calls for more, in good English, from the German trenches Thereupon the gallant Welsh : man gave us 'Mintra Gwen
 Meantime, we realized that not a shot had been fired by either side dur Ing the song. We had forgotten all about war. So bargain was struck With the Germans that if the Welsman would give us another song neither side would fire any more until day light.
 The third song was Hen Wlad fv Nnadau. It was perhaps the first time the Welsh national anthem was ever i, heard on this dismal Flemish morass. J

SEVENTEEN TIMES
 | IN ACTION AGAINST
 THE DARDANELLES
Officers of the Battleship Triumph Tell of Bom- bardment of Turk
 ish Straits

London. March 13.-d2:3o a. m.)--The of ficers of the British battleship Triumph, formerly the Chilean warship Iibertad, which has been r times in action in the Dardaneles, gave an account of the fight ing in the tortuous waterway to the Daily Telegranh's correspondent at AIitylene, where the Triumph is eoalins.
 Trial trips were made into the en- trance of the Dardanelles February IS by torpedo boat destroyers which got within thousand yards of the forts" said one of the officers. "The destroyers were not fired upon, as the Turks prob- ably through shortage of ammunition. reserved their shells for the larger ships. The Triumph was ordered to lombard Fort l and destroy battery No. 60, both on the European side of the straits. but we could find no trace of the battery, which even the seaplanes failed to locate .'Along the shore, we perceived trenches and barbed wire entanglements which had been erected to prevent landings. Some troops also were seen entrenched on the hills
 ''On the morning of February 19, all the allied ships proceeded against the outer forts, opening fire at 7500 yards. They received no reply The Triumph accommodated Cape Helles' defenses and opened fire on them during the afternoon with her T-inch guns causing very heavy damage.
 ''When We rejoined the fleet in the even- ing a spectacular scene was witnessed. The French ships were firing furiousy from the south, while two British ships steamed up and down firing salvos. Bad weather interrupted the operations, which were resumed the 25th, when the Triumph located Battery 50. The same day, three trips into the entrance were made by various British ships, the Triumph getting to within 2000 yards of Fort and making direct hits on the enemy's guns.
 That night the Turks burned the light houses. The next day mine sweepers passed through the entrance, under the protection of the Triumph.
 On March l the Triumph was ordered against Fort Dardanus, where she was hit thrice, one shell going through her armor, killing one man. This would have been a serious affair." but the shell ex- ploded before it penetrated. Another shell went clean through the captains cabin.
 '"The same evening the Triumph coy- cred landing party, which blew up some of the important works on the Asiatic side. The explosions sent fragments of wreckage hundreds of feet into the ar and quarters of the distance across the straits.
 "All the men of the Triumph are in excellent spirits. Throughout the opera tions one would have thought these men were engaged in some sporting expedi- tion rather than in deadly warfare"

Britain and Falkland

From the Boston Herald.
 The Argentine government may be
 displeased to find that the British do
 not take it seriously in it's protest
 against British occupancy of the Falk-
 land Islands and the concentration of
 naval forces there. Though springing
 at present from the recent naval en-
 gagement near the islands. this protest
 is hardy annual that for nearly a
 century has borne no fruit. The claim
 which the Argentine Republic inherited
 was first made by the provisional gov
 ernment of Buenos Ayres in 1920, dur
 ing the war of independence from Span
 ish rule, which ended four years later. But Great Britain, France and Spain
 had all successively held the Falk- lands for more than two centuries be-
 fore then. The group was first sighted by John Davis in 15s2: it received its present name in 1889 from Captain Strong. in honor of his friend, Lord Falkland; it was partially occupied by French expeditions in 1710 and 176{, when it was sold to Spain for $1 50, ,OOOO whereupon in 1765 the British took possession and six years afterward the Spanish claim was compulsorily aban- doned.
 Thus the islands had quite a history in the hands of European powers be- fore the European settlers on the main lanu, SUU miles away, threw off the Spanish yoke and established repub- lie But for long time no govern
 ment was instituted in the insular terri tories, and so an opportunity was af- forded to BCenos Ayres settlers to lay a foundation for the title afterward asserted. They withdrew. however. at | the instance of the British government on the rejection of their claim. Tn 1883 the flag of a governor was hoisted at the capital, the group was used as l a penal colony till 1852, and it is so well known as a British possession that if you mention the King of the Penguins to Britisher he will under stand at once that you mean the gov ernor of the Fallxlands.
 I So close has the British connection grown that the United Kingdom sends about 90 per cent of the imports. and | takes nearly all the exports A very different connection. neither political
 nor commercial, but geological, may
 be emphasized by the Argentine gov
 ernment, Patagonia apd the Falkland
 group being connected by a submarine
