London.-Another battle at the
Dardaneles, in which the British won
victory over the Turks in close
range hghting and gained an import
ant position on Gallipoli Peninsula.
was reported by General Ian Hamil-
ton, Commander-in-Chief. The report
says:
Further fighting on the northern
sectlon OF the line has resulted in the
capure OF an important tactical point
commanding the Buvuk Anafarta Val
ley to the east and north and an an.
preclabIe gain of the ground occupied
Dy the Australians and New Zealand
army corps.
The fighting was almost entirely
nand-to-hand and of a severe charac-
ter. Very heavy losses were inflicted
on the Turks and three of their ma
chlne guns, three trench mortars. 800
rlnes, 500 bombs and a large quantity
or small arms ammunition were cap
tured by u.s."
Inc RUSSIAN armies, falling back 20
their newly constructed third line of
defenses, continue their counter at
tacks with an unbroken front. and
the military experts of the allies say
they are now practically sure of win
ming their race for time.
The weather already is bad, and in
few weeks the autumn rains will
begin. The Austro-G ermans, it Is
said, have not Sufficient time TO carry
out their plans to smash the Cars
legions before, under cover of winter.
they can be reformed and re-equipped.
On the western front the French
nave been raining shells on the Ger
man trenches necessarily and recent
ly the fire was increased in intensity.
The great expenditure of ammunition
is reported in London to be. in all
probability, the preliminary of the OF
fenslve movement of the allies all
along the western line, promised for
several weeks ago.
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1915-09-09
eRoDNo OBJECT OF DRIVE.

London.-The Austro-Germans have
massed an immense army for drive
against Grodno, the last of the great
forresses held by the Russians in
Poland.
Another great army of the Aus
trlans and Germans is pressing the ad-
vantage gained in Galicia in the hone
that the advance can be accelerated
suIIlclentIy to reach Lutsk, Dubno and
Rovno in final drive before the
weather makes impossible an attack
on the strongholds guarding the south
of Russia
A new factor has been added to the
battles taking place daily at the Oar
danelles,. by the landing of the first of
the Italian troops sent to aid the allies
IN their attempt to smash a way
through to Constantinople.
The Italians are believed to be on
the firing line and to have already
taken part in the operations against
the Turks. Increased activity among
the warships since the arrival of the
Italian convoy with large supply of
ammunition, indicates a land and sea
attack in force will be made soon.
A dispatch from Athens says the
Italian forces have been put ashore.
They were reported to have been
equipped ito the last button" The
number OF the reinforcements is not
known, but before the transports left
Italian waters it was said zoo. 900 men
were ready to join in the campaign on
Gallipoli Peninsula. and it is likely the
troops were landed at Suvla Bay.
where the allies have been fighting the
Turks at close range and making only
relatively small gains at big cost in
lives.

Twenty Per Cent Increase.

20 per cent increase in the attend
ance at West Virginia university is ex-
pected this year. according to the esti-
mate of officials. The fall term will
open September 13. The attendance
last year in all departments was 1858
1t probably will reach 1900 to 1000
this year. The football squad have
assembled at the Cheat River field, to
begin practice for the season under
the direction of Coach Sol Metzger
and his assistants, Mr.. Marsh said
the indications are that a feature of
the enrolment of students this year
Will be the large number seeking the
course in pharmacy. This course was
established last year. Inquiries have
been received by the school authori-
ties from all parts of the state from
young men who wish to get into the
pharmacy classes this year. The
course is under the direction of Prof
Charles II. Rogers DR. Francis ].
Strickland, formerly president of
college in the west, is a new man in

1t was not that a great deal had
actually been accomplished, but near
ly all the belligerents were throwing
out peace "feelers.' Powerful out
side interests are being exerted to
encourage this movement and inter
national experts said they "sensed"
returning sanity" at the capitals of
the warning nations.
While it was understood on good
authority that the White House has
received no suggestion of the kind
from the allied powers and would
take no step until sure it would be
acceptable to both sides, it was
known, also, that the President is
most anxious for a suitable opportu-
nifty of the kind.
Signs of New Feeling.
Germany's concession in the matter
of submarine warfare.
The Netherlands open declaration,
unofficially, through its Washington
representative, that the submarine
memorandum" was in the interest of
securing American cooperation in
an effort to end hostilities.
Assurances from Great Britain of
a modification of the hard rule" of
the order in council.
Probable Developments.
Immediate developments are ex-
pected to be:
German explanation of the Ara
bic incident.
A German communication to Wash
ington formally confirming the recent
"memorandum."
An application from Great Brit
ain, of the obscurely expressed an
nouncement, that the hard rule" OF
the order-in-council will be modified.
An agreement on a German-Ameri-
can plan-an adjudication at The
Hague is understood TO be the Ger
man proposition-to determine the
extent of reparation by Germany for
loss of American lives in the Lus-
itania and Arabic incidents.
American note TO London taking
up British interference with neutral
shipping note which it is hoped
will open the way for an American
offer to act as Anglo-German mediary
on any question desired.

NEW JAPANESE MIKADO
ASCENDS THRONE NOV. 10
Democratic Flavor to Plans Promui.
gated for Accession of
Yoshihito

Tokio-For the first time in the his
tory of the Japanese empire, extend
ing over $500 years, an emperor is to
accede to the throne in the presence
of the representatives of his people
That is one great reason why the cor
onation of Emperor Yashihito, which
takes place on November 10, is re.
garded as one of the supreme events
in Japanese national life and why it
is being looked forward to with such
eagerness and delight by the emper
or's subjects.
Strictly speaking. the ceremony is
not a coronation, but an accession
The rulers of Nippon wear no crown
upon their heads, but in the presence
of the spirits of their ancestors they
formally accede to the dignity and
prerogatives of emperoTship.
The accession or coronation cere-
monies will last through fortnight
and will Tevolve chiefly about the i'm
perial palaces in the ancient capital
of Kyoto.

Narcotics Less Used in State.

A marked decrease in the use of
cocaine, morphine and other narcotics
by the people of West Virginia has ac-
companied the operation of the Harri-
son anti-narcotic act, passed by con-
gress last December. G.. b. Kinney. a
representative of the internal revenue
department of the United States gov
eminent, who has charge of the en-
forcement of the law in this and ada
cent states, made this statment. He
states that comparatively small num-
Der of arrests growing out of violation
of the Harrison act have been made
in West Virginia. The practicing ply
slcians and pharmacists, as a class, he
said, are complying with the provis-
ions of the new law to the letter, and
none of them, so far as he has learned,
have Intentionally dispensed drugs in
open violation of the federal act.

Washington, ID. C.-Peace is in the
