This sign was displayed conspicuously at
the Lambs Club last week, and before
it was taken down 1t caused several Eng

Broadway at the present time is not a
happy one.
Coincident with the posting of this sign

English players than ever before to

New York. July S.-The subway toilet
rooms have become the latest scenes for
holding-up unsuspecting citizens at Q
pistol point. The new form OF robbery
is a development of underworld activities
unique Of its kind.
An aged merchant was attacked in the
station at Sixty-sixth street the other
day and his skull was fractured after
which he was robbed. The highwayman
washed his hands of the blood and boldly
walked out pas; the ticket chopper to
the street and safety.
The subway trains have proven a golden
harvest for the pickpockets who jam into
the rush hour crowds and nimbly pluck
the wallets and watches. Their activities
became so marked that a special Sub
way Dip Squad was organized to travel
to and from to nab the pickpockets at
work.
New YOrk's newest newspaper is just

would. She did though, and kept on
around the block. with me shadowing
her. At the corner from which she had
started, she boarded q car. with me close

me. Near our home I alighted a block
from our usual stopping place. and. after

sides to this matter. On her part she
had heard a couple OF silly girls make

said about me. Why they had chosen

know their names.
All Of this-I explained to Myra. after
had consoled her with an account of
how I had Swallowed her all the way
home. and how she had been virtually
under my protection all the time.
But you haven't told me who the
girls were. Robert" Myra smiled.

She gazed at me with a cloud Of doubt

truth.

McAlpin Hotel Notes.

The few New Workers who remain
ed in town over the Fourth and Fifth
did SO because they could not secure
parlor car chairs" Is the opinion of
Tom O'Dwyer. head porter of the
McAlpin Hotel. who stated yesterday
that he had never handled so many
orders for tickets and extra-fare seats
to shore and mountain points points
during the many years he has been
handling baggage for Broadway hotel
patrons. This. in view of the fact
that the day coaches OF the railroads
running out of. this city are already
.parlor cars in point of comfort, seems
to prove to me that there is plenty
of money in the country" concluded
O'Dwyer.
The many visitors to New York
took the place of the regular patron
of the city's roof garden restaurants
on Sunday and Monday. Headwaiter
Wilson. of the McAlpin Roof Garden.

ception by enemy submarines. The two
points at which the invading force re-
mains are, as all the world knows. at
Avi-Burnu. on the Aegean Sea. and al
Sedd-el-Bahr. at the very end OF the
Gallipoli peninsula.
At Sedd-el-Bahr the British position
today Is much stronger than at Avi-
Burnu. The Turks have the general ad-
vantage of commanding most of the
heights. but the possession of one or two
small elevations by the British, who are
intrenched for the most part in the plain
running down to the sea, lessons the
overwhelming odds against them.

At Avi-Burnu the landing forces APP

which confronts the Turkish intrench-
ments at distances varying from LOCO
yards to less than ten yards. 1t Is the
most difficult sort of fighting in the
world. over the most difficult sort Of
country. The Turks at Avi-Burnu are on
hillside which commands the entire
British position.

This then Is the sum total of what the

at Khalid-Bahr and, as those who have

supply Transit Dangerous.
No attempt has been made to deny that
the Turkish losses have been large. One
estimate places them at 5000. Person
ally I am aware of about 5000 wounded
in Constantinople alone.
The withdrawal of practically all the
bombarding ships, after the Triumph and
Majestic were sunk has taken a consid-
cradle support from the backs Of the
forces ashore. But there IL a second
and more important aspect OF submarine
activity in the Aegean. Both at Sedd-el-
Bahr and at Avi-Burnu II must be kept
in mind that all supplies must be brought
across open water. Re-enforcements are
not only subject to the fire of Turkish
shore batteries on landing but are MEM
aced with torpedoins in the course Of
their transition from the British bases.
