RENEW DARDANELLES FIGHT
General Battle Against the Turkish
Stronghold Is Being Waged by
Land, Sea and Air.

London.-The admiralty and the
war office has declared that a general
attack on the Dardanelles had begun.
An army, it was said, has been dis
embarked successfully.
The attack is being made by land,
sea and air. The allied airmen are
playing an important part in the opera
tons in locating positions and drop
ping bombs on the Turkish guns and
trenches and directing the fire OF the
warships, which are covering the land
ing Of the troops. The Russians are
doing their share by making a demon
stration against the forts at the Black
sea entrance of the Bosphorus.
The diplomatic situation with re-
spect to Italy and Greece remains OBJ
scure. 1t is known, however, that con-
versations are still proceeding between
the Germanic allies and Italy and 1t Is
reported that an agreement has been
reported between Rome and the triple
entente.
The position of Greece may be
cleared up after the visit which Prince
George is paying to Paris and London,
although nothing Is likely to happen
until after the general election about
to take place.
Holland. another neutral country
deeply interested in the war is iso-
lated except by telegraph. the British
having placed an embargo on shipping
although two steamers loaded with
produce arrived at English ports from
Holland recently-while Germany has
closed both her own and the Belgian
borders.
The German action is dictated by
the desire to hide troop movements.
The British action is not explained ex-
cept by the assumption that the ad-
miralty expects a naval battle with
the German fleet cruising of Helgo-
land.

BATTLE AGAIN AT YPRES
Stupendous Events Believed to Be-
Foreshadowed BY Battle On
West Front,

neutrality-suspicious. events in the
war are believed to be foreshadowed
by the fighting now going on at Ypres
and the general increased activities on
the western battle front. Europe is
highly expectant.
That a Eel engagement has taken
place near Ypres is confirmed by Off
cial reports, but these are so contra
dictory that the actual result of the
preliminary fighting is not known. 1t
would appear, however, that following
their loss of Hill No. 60 and their fail
ure to recapture it, the Germans have
commenced an offensive from the
northeast against the Anglo-French
line in front Of Ypres, scene Of such
bloody battles last autumn, and also
against the Belgian line farther west.
The Germans claim they drove the
allies back to the Ypres Canal, taking
1900 British and French prisoners
and a number of guns. The French ad-
NIT that the allies had to fall back.
but declare this was due to the use
by the Germans OF asphyxiating gas
bombs. Paris asserts that in counter
attacks the allies took many German
prisoners and that the Belgians re-
pulsed German attacks. 1t is believed
here that these operations are only
the commencement OF another battls
OF YpPes.

IN EFFORT TO REACH CONSTAN-
TINOPLE ALLIES ARE BAT
TERING AT TURKS.
DRIVE ON CALAIS STOPS
Germans Gain Ground About Ypres,
But England Resumes Offensive
and Retakes Much Lost
Ground.

London.-On the narrow, rocky Gal
lipoli Peninsula in Turkey and on a
restricted front stretching n%orthward
from Ypres in Belgium, two of the
most vital struggles of the war are in
progress. Neither has reached a stage
which would permit OF a prediction OF
the ultimate result.
In the Gallipoli Peninsula fight. a
picturesque assortment of allied
troops landed Sunday, supported by
the fire of the warships, are trying to
batter their way through thousands
of German-officered Turks in an eff
fort to force the Dadanelles-the main
gateway of the Ottoman empire-and
reach Constantinople.
According TO the British claim, the
attack is progressing, but a Turkish
communication claims that, although
the allies landed forces at Jour points,
these forces are being beaten back to
the coast, while the Moslems in the
French ranks are deserving the tri-
color and casting their lot with their
co-religionists.
equally contradictory are the OIL
cial staten ents concerning the fight
ing in the vicinity Of Ypres. 1t would
appear that the German offensive
north of that city, which brought them
q gain of nearly three miles, has now
reached its limit, and that although
the Germans hold most of the ground
they gained. the question now is
whether they can retain 1t.
The British troops are said to
have taken the offensive and are strik.
ing toward ST. Julien, which the Ger
mans captured, while the French on
the British left not only have pushed
the Germans from Lizerne, their new
Judgment on the west bank of the
canal nearest Calais. but have crossed
the canal and hold Het Sas, on the
east bank.
The German official communica-
ton, which records no progress for
the German troops. admits that the
British took the offensive toward st.
Julien, but insists that the successive
attacks broke down.

JAPS MAKE NEW DE ANDS

China Makes Military Prep

Picking, China.-When conferences
between the Japanese minister to
China, Eki Hioki, and the Chinese for
eign minister. Lu Cheng-Hsiang. were
Resumed April &c, the Japanese min
lister presented an extended list of "a
demands. This list virtually is an am
plifcation of the original 21 demands
and includes even requests for railroad
concessions, it is understood, in terri
tory where the lines would compete
with British interests.
The Japanese insist that China ac-
cept the new list OF demands in its
entirety, but no time limit has been
set.
China is making certain military
preparations, which have been de-
scribed as feeble" Great secrecy Is
maintained as TO details.
In Picking the impression obtains
among foreign observers that Japan
will use force unless China yields.

rant Proprietor, but II Turned
Out Otherwise.

The late Norman B. Ream, the or.
ganizer of the steel trust and many
other important corporations, once
said to a New York reporter about a
trust investigation:
Maybe these Investigations will
have the same luck as the game
warden.
"A game warden heard that a res
taurant was serving a game out of sea-
son. He disguised himself with a false
beard. visited the place and ordered a
pheasant.
The pheasant, delicately high like
roquefort cheese, as we'll as all good
pheasant should be, was served to
the game warden, and he devoured it
to the last morsel, at the same time in
hicting severe punishment on a bottle

Of course, paid for IL all.
AT the end OF his repast the game
warden summoned the proprietor and
said:
II arrest you, sir, In the name of
the law!'
THE proprietor's mouth opened in
establishment. He swallowed two or
three times, then he gasped:
"'Wh-what for?'
For serving me a pheasant out of
season. said the game warden.
"A look Of relief appeared on the
proprietor's face.
"'Oh.' he said, that wasn't pleas

CONTINUE FLANDERS FIGHT
Germans Claim Success In Their Calais
Drive-Canadians Bear Battles

London.-The German rushss in
Flanders and the Woevre, where they
claim considerable successes, are be
lieved to be forerunners Of another big
effort to break through the allied lines
in the west.
sealed from the observation OF neu'
trails, while German reinforcements are
being moved to the south to take part
in the new offensive, which they hope
is to carry them to Calais. The attack
in Flanders, originally leveled at the
French, has been transferred to the
British lines held by the Canadians, on
the immediate right of the French,
and here for two days the men from
the dominion have been engaged in a
deadly contest with the Germans. The
Germans claim further progress to-
ward Ypres and that British counter
attacks have been repulsed.
The French. on the other hand, de-
clare the allies counter attacks con-
tinue with success and that the Brit
jsh hold all their positions.
The German attack in the Woevre,
or in the Mouse hills, was directed
against the French positions south
west of Comtbres, and, according to
Berlin. the French suffered a heavy
defeat. Paris, however, says that in
a counter attack the Germans were
driven out of the French first line,
which they had pushed back.
1t is believed that a half million new
German troops have reached Flanders
and that more guns and material are
to be used than were provided for the
original attempts to destroy the allied
armies in the west-attempts which
net with failure both in August and in
October.
In the meantime the eastern front Is
enjoying a period of comparative
calm. except in the mid-Carpathians
Both sides report successes.

CANDIDATES ADVISED TO DO THFR
UTMOST DURING THE COMING DAYS
CITY GAS WEI
PAY FOR Sci YES
IN A SHORT TIME
Thus Showing Wisdom of the
Water Board in Saving
Fuel Costs in This Way.

Within the next two months the
water works and sewerage board
will turn over to the people OF
Clarksburg two finely equipped gas
wells producing the required daily
consumption of 100000 cubic feet
the investment cost Of which will
have been returned to the city in
full. The wells have already pro-
duced to September 80, 1915, 3d.
492.81 worth Of natural gas and
both wells are today In excellent
condition.
In connection with its gas wells
the water board has one Of the most
modernly equipped regulator sta
lions in the state.
The wisdom of the boards drill
ing its own gas wells for supplying
the pumping station is reflected in
tho water department report which
shows that In the future there will
be a cash saving for fuel amount
ing to s10,s0O annually.
The water board will shortly
award the contract for the installa-
tion Of two gas engines, the open
ing of bids being set for today. one
a $50 horse power size and one a
fifty! horse power size and two
pumps each with capacity Of a..
100000 gallons daily, which Is ex-
pected to prove economical in point
OF gas consumption.
Ofdclals OF the water department
believe that with the installation OF
the gas engine layout the present
gas wells will furnish free gas for
all power purposes for many years
to come.
