The Days War NesUs

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT "a
made I'm n dispatch from COnstanti-
nopIe that severe losses have been
inflicted ON the French and Brit
fish troops which landed on CALI
poIi peninsula. Reports reaching
London from the Dardaneftes,
while containing no new details OF
the land fighting, say that the
bombardment by the allied fleet of
the Turkish Qualifications ia pro-
ceeding successfully.
GERMAN AND AUsTRIAN reports of
n spectacular victory In western
G1licia are increasing. PetrOgrad
Rdvtces, however, while conceding
n measure Of success 20 the Teu-
tonic allies, say these claims are
RrentIy exRgEerated. The Russian
war office Announces victory I'm
battle near stry.
HOPES THAT ITALY would settle
peacefully her differences with
Austria are fading as steadily as
they were revived n few days ago.
LONDON, May THE battle TO
decide the mastery Of Hill No. 60 and
the desolated country around Ypres
has not yet reached its final stages,
nor have the Russians shown signs
OF accepting the German claim that
crushing defeat has been inflicted
upon them In western GaliciR.
That the Russians have been
pushed back many miles. first across
the Dunajec and now across the WIS
loka river, which roughly parallels
the Dunajec fifteen miles to the
eastward, all the disaptches from
German and Austrian sources insist,
but the English newspapers still re-
fuse to concede a great victory TO tho
Austro-Germans, although they adj
NIT that great tentative success has
been achieved.
There is great faith in England In the
recrperative powers OF Russian arms.
ard the disposition for the moment seems
20 be to suspend Judgment on the ques-
tion of whether the Russians II driven
from Dukla pass viii be forced TO aban-
don their advance against Hungary and
indeed their positions in Western 0alicla.
At any rate. the argument Il being
made by British observers that the Rus
SLAMS should have no trouble in holding
their line on the River San In Eastern
Galicia. especially as their flank would
now be covered by Przemysl.
6ermRns Continue 20 Use Gases.
The fighting in Flanders finds the Ger
mans still making use of asphyxiating
gases. and there is noticeable current
running through the British press which
insists that the allies should adopt coun-
ter measures at once. It is being re-
cited that when one power departs from
the rules and precedents OF warfare II Is
manifestly unfair for the others to remain
bound by them. stll no formal'nnnounce-
ment that Great Britain will make use OF
such methods has been forthcoming,

Behind him will march thousands of
old men, grizzled and gray and stoop-

An army of boys that army of '65

hearts. From all over the country

cry Grand Army Of the Republic post
in the country.
Colonel Palmer, now commander-in-
chief. of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, talked about it to an interview
er not long ago when he was in
Washington making arrangements for
the annual encampment, which opens
Sept. q, two days before the parade.
The colonel was sought in Il hotel.
"Come up" he said over the telephone,
and when the interviewer arrived at
the door there was a sturdy, active:
powerful looking man, seemingly about
fifty years old, with pink cheeks and
youthful eyes and a general air of we'll
being about him, waiting at the door.
The bent and broken figure of an old
man who had been Northumberland
fifty years ago was not in sight.
81 want to see Colonel Palmer" said
the interviewer.
"COme ill.," said the man at the door,
81 am Palmer" and he was.
Then came a long and satisfying talk
of the grand review of 1865 and the
one to come next September; Of the
war, of battles and experiences in
camp; all simply told without the
slightest attempt at heroics. Only once
did the colonel drop the semihumorOus
tone in which, as with a man who new
er grows old, he had talked of himself.
That was when he was asked what
sort of horse he had managed to get
for the grand review in '65,
"The horse l rode all through the
campaigns" he said promptly. "Jack,
a big bay. 1 took him as a colt out
of Iowa, and 1 rode him continually
through to the end of the war. He was
six years old at the time of the review
and he knew what it was all about and
was just as proud of being in it as
any man was.
"Gee," said the colonel, breaking off
for moment and gazing out of the
window, chat horse was peach! He
went through all the fights and was
wounded only once. That was not a
very serious wound either, and he
quickly recovered. He wasn't afraid
of anything You could let off a can
non under his nose, and he would new
or bat an eye. He could march to
music like q man. Jack was some war
