piled and obtained a l~ieutenant's COM
mission in the Hampshire regiment and
was sent to the Dardanellcs with the
tenth service battalion of that regi-

Landing on August 5. he and the force
TO which he was attached marched all
night and took up positions on a fairly
good hill, only to find when daybreak
came that II was dominated by a more
important range OF hills Just beyond. h
fire of the Turks was terrific. The hill
upon which Morse and his men were
located was Il small affair and could
only contain about 500 AZ n time, and
the path. a narrow winding antir. was
such that the arrival of reenforcements
was extremely difficult. lie had been
IN action only about three hours when
he was wounded both by rifle fire and
shrapnel. lie grabbed hold of the near

tunic. hen grasping his wounded arm
managed to get back to the base. At
AleNandria the arm was amputated at
the shoulder.

Had the expedition which made tho

Now the position Is so serious that

opinion that the game IL hardly worth

ROME, oct. l2.-The use OF asphyXiat-

an Italian engineer named Gasparini. a

Antwerp in 1854.

Farnese sent 5000 men under the
command OF the Marquis dc R~ichebourge

despite the use of powerful artillery,
which only opened a narrow breach in

warfare lie impossible in winter. The
Italians ave built steam heated trenches
