MASON SAYS ALLIES
NOW MENACE TURKS
Plan to Reach Dardanelles
From South First Real o.
fensive Drive.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Aug. %.-The operations
proceeding on the Gallipoli peninsula
indicate the failure OF the tirst and
second land offensives Of the Anglo
French -orces to subdue the Darda-
nelles.
A substituted third plan Is now being
developed.
The first military effort OF the allies
to open the way to Constantinople took
the form OF a double attack along the
Gall!poli end Asiat!c sides OF the bar
danelles. The French disemberked on
the Asiatic coast. and the British made
several landings on the Galiipoli
overcome the Turks did not succeed
The French were driven back into the
their shore positions.
A second plan was then devised. The
French and English concentrated at tho
southern tip Of the Galiipoli. and made
! forward a line which was occupied by
the French along the Dardanelies side
Of the peninsula. and by the British on
the Aegean side. But, again. failure
were too strongly constructed. and high
ridges compelled the allies to make their
assaults uphill. subjected to destruc-
tive fire from the safely screened ma
CIlne guns.
The third plan Ia now coming into
play. The attempt to reach the Dar-
danelles narrows from the south has
been postponed, while new effort Is
being made to drive across the peninsula
from the west. This Is the mea ming OF
the new landings along the suvla bay
district. The distance to be covered
whether from the south or west Is
approximately the same-from six to
eight miles. There Is little to choose
between the difficulties Of tho rough
country which must be overcome, by
either routes. The advantage Of the new
offensive, however. II that larger
force can be employed.
The Gallipoli ,peninsula is scarcely
more than four miles across at the
| southern tip. where the previous Of
fensive was attempted. So narrow a
front is OF great advantage to the de.
tenders. BY operating from the west.
| an additional front of fifteen miles at
| least, is made available for the drive
TO the Narrows.
The British announce they have con-
| solidated twelve miles of this new bat
| tie line. For the first time. therefore
the allies are In a position to operate
| against the Turks with force pro-
| portonate to the strength OF the Mo-
hammedan defenses.

Gerard Cables Facts
And Expresses Belief

.BERL1N (via The Hague). Aug. 2s.-
0ezmany's position regarding the sink
tag Of the Arabic. on the facts thus
far obtainable. was laid before the State
Department at Warrington today. II
Is believed to pave the way for peace
full settlement.
Ambassador Gerard last night cabled
to Washington a long code message
He refused to discuss the contents OF
this communication, but expressed the
conviction that the Arabic case will be
settled without break between the
United States and Germany.
Gerard's cable went forward after
two conferences. which marked the be-
ginning Of the informal discussion,
through which. 1t is believed, the situa-
tion will be adjusted satisfactorily.
At 1850 yesterday afternoon the Amer.
ican Ambassador conferred with For
eign Secretary Won Jagow. At p. m,
an official Of the foreign office called
at the embassy for a second confer
ence. It was after this last conference
that the cable message was sent to
Warrington.
Tho admiralty today had not yet re-
ceived reports from German subma-
rines operating in the region In which
the Arabic was torpedoed and was un-
able to state officially whether the
liner was submarined or mined.

BUSY
ARRANGING
CONVENTION
DiIigent Efforts Are Put Forth
to Have Larger Delegations
from the Counties.

The Rev. Wheeler Boggess, local Sec
rotary, in charge Of the arrangements
for the Layman's Missionary Move
ment convention to be held in this
city November "a to 10. is very busy
in his offices in the Union National
Bank building sending out information
and receiving registrations for the
convention. The registrations SO far
received are very gratifying, but the
proportion allotted to the several
churches Of the various denomina-
tons in the territory to be represented
at the Clarksburg convention has not
been exhausted by any means, and
because of the nearness to the dates
on which the convention will be held
lit is urged that registrations be for
warded to the secretary promptly that
there may be no unnecessary delay or
unintentional discrimination in repre-
rentation.
Never before have the people Of cen
trail West Virginia been offered the
privilege Of hearing such an array Of
superior talent as will be provided for
this convention. The several speak
,ers are experts in their line of work
and Will not fail to awaken the .laymen
Iof this section to higher sense of
duty in Gcdicating their lives and
wealth to the extension OF Christian
work Throughout the world.
Many substantial reasons might be
assigned as to the manner in which
the coming convention will be bene-
fetal to the laymen who will attend
IL. In brief it will enlarge your con-
ception Of what it is to be Christian.
1t will deepen your personal hold in
the realities Of Christian faith. 1t will
increase your confidence in ultimate
victory for Christ and the church. 1t
viii give you more accurate view OF
present world conditions. 1t will make
you more efficient worker in your
church and community, aud 1t will
help you to co-pperate more adequate
~ with men Of other communities in
forwarding the work OF one undivided
church.
