British Take Four Lines of

ther advance by the allies in the Dar-
danelles is reported by the Athens cor
respondent of the Express The Brit
ish are said to have dislodged the
Turks from four lines of trenches near
Derka Tepe, while the French have
gained an important success in the
Krithia region.
Confirmation has been received from
Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton of the success
which for some days the allies were re-
ported to have achieved. According to
this report, two lines of Turkish
trenches were captured, together with
400 prisoners. The Turks, on the other
hand, claim to have repulsed the allies
attacks.
AS anticipated, progress against the
Turks is very slow owing to the natural
and strongly fortified positions they hold
But British military authorities express
satisfaction with the gain of an occasional
line of trenches. relying on breaking the
morale OF the Turks and on the exhaus-
ton of their supply of ammunition.
Germany's eagerness to have Ruma MIA
allow the passage of ammunition through
that country to Turkey is taken to mean
that the supply is running short.

Report Doubted Here,

High officials said today that they dc
not believe the report that Germany
has made tentative proposals of peace
through this government. but it is be-
lieved that these proposals will come
through the United States If Germany
is te first to offer them. despite the
differences now between the two gov
ernments.
Officials of the administration believe
1T to be the purpose of Germany and
Austria to push as far into the terri
tories of her enemies as possible and
sit down to policy of holding this
territory, putting upon the allies the
burden of an offensive campaign. which
German officers believe they can defeat
In this way Germany, whenever all the
nations begin to show signs of exhaus-
ton, will have for bargaining pur-
poses a large slice of French, Russia n
and Belgian territory.

is making tentative peace proposals
through the United States
THE German kaiser recently told a

statement and the evident intent OF

Widow With Children Keeps French

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
HAvRE, July 9.-Among instances OF
attempted evasion of military service
recently noted here, one Of the most
unusual is the stratagem of an en-
gineer, who served some time at the
front, and then came homo on leave.
He was determined not to go back,
and set about finding a way.
He is the father of three children.
thus lacking three to be exempt from
military service However, just before
his leave was up he was married to a
widow, the mother of three. and this
freed him from further service.
A few days after the wedding he re-
ceived a letter of congratulation signed
by the members of his company. 1t
said:
Congratulations; you are a hero.
May you never sigh for the peace of
the trenches"

The port of Alabama. formerly desig-
mated as Scranton, is to be known in
future, by order of the customs diyi.
sion of the Treasury Department. as
Pascagoula. An order so changing the
name of the port has been signed by
Assistant Secretary William P. Malburp
of the Treasury Department.
It appears that Scranton is no longer
the name of the port, and that the name
of Pascagoula is identified with all the
civic, commercial and political affairs
and that all political affairs, and that
all commercial reports, publications and
shipping officers know the place as
Pascagoula, and masters clearing from
foreign ports designate the place as

''This announcement of the Austro-

half way across Broadway. The pit
was about 80 feet deep.
