mitories and of partiality toward ath-
letes to the detriment of moral train

seriously handicapped, are involved.
Young Men Caught.
1t was learned that on the night of
| March IL, authorities caught these
young men, all Of whom are employed
in the dining room at Earlham hall,

dining room girls. These same young
men, it is said, have been using tun-
mel which connects the boys and girls
dormitories to spirit goods from Earl
ham hall onto the campus on evenings
when dates" are forbidden by faculty
regulations. Whether or not this fact
is known to the faculty could not be
learned.
One Of these men has been the star
on all athletic teams since he entered
Earlham. His prowess on the basket
| ball floor has gained his recognition
as one of the best forwards on any
! Indiana college team. His brilliant
play on the football field was the
means of winning many games for the
Quaker school last fall
Another member Of the group plays
an outfield position on the baseball
team and was one of the backs on the

LONDON, April 27.-Fierce fighting
is in progress between Turkish troops
and the allies forces landed on CALI
poll peninsula for the Dardanelles cam
paign, according to dispatch received
from Athens today.
1t states that the city of Enos, north
of the Gulf Of Caros, has been made
the main base of the allies. The Turk
ish garrison there retired to the interi-
or without firing shot after the com.
mander of the Anglo-French fleet had
sent notice thatt he fleet would bonn
bard the town. The inhabitants were
given twenty-four hours to leave.
Turks Go Inland.
The bombardment opened Sunday
morning, but ceased shortly as no re-
ply was made by the Turks. Air scouts
in hydro-aeroplanes made reconnois-
ance and reported that the Turks had
withdrawn to Ipsala.
A dispatch from Salonika states that
the Anglo-French forces landed on Gal
lipili peninsula number 100000 men,
most of them veterans of the western
theatre.
The British war office today refused
to confirm this statement, but the gov.
ernor censor permitted it's trans mis-
sion.
Twenty-Five Ships In Fleet.
Correspondents at Mitylene and Chi
os, in the LFgian. report that the allied
fleet is pouring rain of shells upon
the Dardanelles forts. twenty-five of
the most powerful warships in the
British and French navies are said to
be cooperating in the bombardment
Under cover of this terrific fire mine
sweepers have entered the straits, the
correspondents say, and are removing
the mines placed ther by the Turks in
the months interval between the last
general attack.
Germans Lead Armies.
The allies are opposed by Turkish
armies commanded by German gener-
ais and officered by Germans. One is
the first army, commanded by Field
Marshal Won Der Goltz, the other the
Dardanelles army led by General Lay
man Won Sanders. On Gallipoli PENN
sula alone, according to recent reports
from Constantinople, 100000 Turkish
troops have been assembled.
1t is probable that the allies will
find their advance opposed by half a
million we'll trained and we'll equipped
men. These are the troops of the first
line, whose military training has been
going on under German direction for
many years. Many German officers
are reported to have arrived at Con-
stantinople recently.
