ADVANCE AT THREE POINTS
Strong Opposition Develops in Eng
land Against David Lloyd-George's
Temperance Measure.

London.-With the battle in Elan.
ders seemingly at an end, except for
attacks the allies are making to re-
cover the rest of the ground they lost,
the interest of the public has turned
to the Dardanelles, where French and
British forces, with the cooperation
of the fleet, are attempting to force the
straits and open he way to Constan-
tinople.
The British have landed at three
points on the Gallipoli peninsula and
have thrown a line across the outer
point of the peninsula. Other British
troops are threatening the Bulair line
of forts and the French are looking
after the Turks on the Asiatic side OF
the straits. .-.
A dispatch from Athens states that
demonstration by an allied landing
party on the historic plains of Troy
has resulted in the capture OF 5000
Turks.
At other points numerous prisoners
have been taken.
The Turks report that all the land
ing parties have been repulsed, but
British reports, which are brief, con-
tent themselves with the statement
that progress is being made and ignore
entirely the Turkish claims to victo-
ries.
An Athens dispatch says fierce fight
ing on the shores of Suvla bay, on
the western side of the Gallipoli Pc
ninsula, IS miles north of the southern
extremity, resulted in the success OF
the allies.
"The losses of the Turks were Sc
rious. One entire battalion was cap
tured by the allies.
"The French force has been landed
entirely on the Asiatic coast with the
object of advancing along the littoral
to keep pace with the progress made
by the British on the opposite coast.
"The bombardment of the straits
was resumed April 81 and lasted IL
hours. 1t YVES directed particularly
at the KiDd Bahr forts"

FIGHT TAX ON LIQUOR
French Cooperate With British in In
vestment of DardanelIes Forts.
Fierce Fighting Follows.

London.-Proposals introduced In
the house of common by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
to double the duty on spirits, quad
ripple the duties on wines, and to in
stitute an increase by graduated
taxes on beer-to encourage the use
of lighter beers-were strongly OPP
posed and 1t is generally believed
that the new taxes will have to be
moderated before parliament will &C.
cept them.
The O'Brienites, as protest
against any additional taxation on
Irish WHISTLES and beers, brought
the first division of the house since
the outbreak of the war, by voting
against the provisional resolutions
bringing the taxes into force at once,
to prevent Withdrawals from bond
while parliament is dealing with them
there. The resolution relating to spir.
its was passed by vote of SO to 6,
the minority being composed OF
O'Brienites.
The Nationalists also protested
against the measure but did not vote.
The Unionists, who withheld criticism
until all the facts could be placed be-
fore them, also abstained from voting.
The Laborites promised to reply to
the chancellor's charges that minor
ity of the workmen, lured away by
drink, were not putting their best into
the work of producing war materials,
The extra taxes will be included in
the budget which Chancellor Lloyd
George will introduce in the house of
commons and the bill, which Is an
amendment to the defense Of the realm
act, will be postponed for the second
reading at later date, when the de-
bate on 1t will take place.
The chancellor estimated that the
double duty on spirits would yield the
same total as heretofore, allowing for
decreased consumption, would bring In
6 100000 ($S,000,000) extra and wine
e1,500, 900 ($7,50O,O0O) extra.
In the camp areas the government
would have power for the period of
the war to iclose any saloon consid-
cred injurious. Compensation would
be paid to all those whose property
was appropriated.

WASHINGTON Is Stirred.

Washington.-Pres reports OF the
torpedoing of the American steamer
Gulflight and the loss of her captain
and some members Of the crew Great
ed stir in officia lcircles here.
II the first reports are borne out,
the attack on the Gulflight constitutes
the first case of an American ship
struck by a torpedo with consequent
loss of lives. Two have been sunk by
mines, the responsibility for which has
never been fixed, and an American,
Leon C. Thresheh, was drowned when
the British ship Falaba was torpedoed
The United States government has
just completed its investigation Of the
Thresher case, but In view Of the di-
rect attack on an American vessel now
reported, 1t is probable that both Incl
dents will be dealt with in whatever
diplomatic action is taken"
1t was recalled that in the note sent
to Germany In answer to Germanys
proclamation of sea war zone the
Washington government stated that it
would hold Germany ito strict account
ability" for the loss Of American lives
or vessels.
The Gulflight was steel vessel of
1902 tons net and was built at Cam
den, N. j., in 1914 She was owned by
the Gulf Refining Company. The YES
sci was 383 feet long, 81 feet beam
and 80 feet deep. She was equipped
with wireless apparatus.

ADVANCE RAILROAD WAGES
Arbitration Board Recommends That
$4,000 Employees Receive Ad-
Vanced Pay.

Chicago.-An arbitration award ad
vancing to some extent the rates of
pay of $4,000 locomotive engineers,
firemen and hostlers employed on the
100000 miles of line of SO Western
railroads in the great area of the Unit
ed States and Canada bounded on the
east by the Illinois Central and the
Great Lakes, was signed here April 80.
A dissenting opinion was filed on
b. half of the brotherhoods Of engine
men, In which the arbitration was
branded as failure and the Newlands
law, under which it was arranged, an
inadequate device for the settlement
of industrial disputes. The award eff
fective May 10 and binding for one
year only, was frankly declared as
merely postponing for a twelvemonth
the actual settlement of the differ
ences involved. The railroad mem
bers of the board issued a formal
statement criticising features of the
regulations governing the arbitration
and remarking that certain conces-
sions regarded as intrinsically unjust
were made for the sake of preserving
peace with the employees.
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard of Rich
mond, Va, chairman OF the board, ex
planned his position and stated that
while in his opinion the men in certain
branches of the service were entitled
to greater advances than were grant
ed, he had to make concessions in or
der that an award might be made, and
he found much of hopeful nature in
the award.

GERMANS FLANK RUSSIANS
Kaiser's Cavalrymen Move Around
Right of Cars Men on Baltic
Coast.

London.-A sensation has come from
the east, where it is announced that
German cavalry, which apparently got
around the extreme right of the Rus
slams, had invaded the Russian Baltic
provinces. There has been no indica-
ton in what force the Germans are
operating, but it is presumed here that
the cavalry is simply looking over the
ground to find out what opposition
force landed at Polapgen, in the prov
ince of Courland. would meet with. In
military circles here it is asserted that
this cavalry, however, can interfere
with the Russian communications and
give the famous Russian Cossacks
something to do.
At the other end of the Russian line
the Russians are reported to be con-
tinuing slow progress in the Uzsok
Pass, and to be repulsing Austrian at
tacks on their flank in the direction Of
Stry.
In reply to the Zeppelin visit to the
county of Suffolk, England, allied air

Nothing of importance has occurred
along the western battle front. The
Germans claim still to hold bridge
heads on the User canal at Het Sas
and Steenstraete. They are being at
tackled by the allies, who, according to
all the official reports, are on the Of
fensive at most points. The German
report repeatedly refers to the repulse
of allied attacks.

gone year on that trip. When / re-
turned home / unbuckled my pistol
and went about attending to my stock

not let me alone. One of them came
to the ranch to kill me. l was alb
sent, but ranger had arrived at the
ranch just after had left. The rang
er was hunting the man who was
hunting me. They exchanged shots.
The ranger shot the pistol out of his
hand, but the man got away.
HE was wanted for murder, and
some other offense The ranger asked
me to help catch the men. About
three weeks later we rounded him up,
but unfortunately, he would not sur
render, and was killed. His friends
then were so annoying to me that ]
