SOM EBODY HAS MADE: BLUNDER,

LONDON, Oct 17-A correspond ent for the London Times, writing from the scene of activities on the Gallipoli peninsula. says that it is practically impossible for the allies ever to take the fortresses of the Turks on the peninsula or along the Dardanelle5 straits. He says that somebody blundered whenever any such plan was first formulated giving as his reasons that the Aus tro-German forces could at any time push through to the relief of the Turks, and could therefore put a stop to the campaign when 1t was seen that the Turks were endanger ed as they have now proceeded to do
 The writer also planes the allies the Greek armies. He says that fact caused the Germans and Aus trians to amass their troops on the Serbian frontier and to make their present demonstration against Ser bia, making 1t absolutely necessary for the allies to withdraw their troops from the Gallipoli and take them to the assistance of the Ser bians.
 The correspondent also states that the withdrawal of the allied troops from the Gallipoli peninsula will not hurt the prestige of the allies there. by reason of the fact that demonstrations on the part of the navy against the forts in the Oar danelles could still continue. He further asserts that all of the fight ing ever done on the peninsula and in the Dardanelles straits has been half hearted for the reason that the allied soldiers realized the im- possibility of taking the Turkish Qualifications at all times

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.

PICABO, April s.-Two inquisitive
children might have met their deaths
this morning at Picabo. had not the
Fates, in the shape Of the northbound
passenger train in the cases of one and
the bad taste of formaldehyde in the
case of the other. intervened TO save
them.
The two small children OF Mr.. and
Mrs. r. L. Baker, living on a ranch
about mile an a half from Picabo,
were playing near the eranary this
morning when they noticed that the
door of that building was open. Thes
took advantage of this oversight on
the part of the father TO enter the
place. Soon they espied a bottle Of
formaldehyde on the floor. The little
boy, Ronald, poured some of the poi
sonous fluid upon the floor. and then
concluded that he would taste it. He
swallowed quantity of it. and told
his sister that it was bad stuff, and
that he didn't want any more. The
little girl didn't try it.
a few minutes later the spilled poi
son was discovered and inquiry devel-
oped the facts.
The mother Immediately set out for
Picabo with the little chap. and
brought him to this city on the train,
which she had Just time enough to
reach.
On her arrival here she hurried at
once to a physician. who administer
ed the antidote for that poison. and
soon the patient was feeling better.
There seems to be no further dang
er to the lad, and he will probably
pull thru all right He is about three
or four years Of age. and the sister is
a couple of years Older.
Many farmers use formaldehyde for
disinfecting seed grain. and it is usual
" carefully guarded from the hands
of children.
The parents of these children were
almost frantic with fear for the. little
one's life, and needless TO say, that
granary will be closely watched here
after.
