BANGING THE DARDANELLEs

Reviewing the Dardanelles situation
the ore fact that stands out clearly is
the immense advantage POSSESSED by
land Notifications over the battleship,
in that though the forts may be badly
battered by a bombardment yet, if it
be not continued or followed up by a
land attack, the damages can be
quickly repaired.
1t is evident that the conservative
policy followed by Admiral Garden
cannot succeed; hence, it is probable
that he has been relieved of command
and a more aggressive commander
placed in charge of the Dardanelles
operations.
Quite likely the new policy will be
accompanied by much hazard and the
loss of a number of vessels but il is
apparent that, to successfully assault
the Turkish forts. a sustained attack
must be made and vessel after vessel
held in reserve to replace the ones
that may be sunk. until the complete
demolition of the fortresses is accom-
plished.
And while IL may result in the loss
of a number of the attacking vessels
yet the allies naval strength will not
be seriously impaired. Thus far. the
dreadnaught has been a negative fac
tor in the war. Germany has not per-
mitted one battleship to steam from
the base at KeI. while not a single
one on either side has been engaged in
a battle on the open seas. The allies
can well afford to swap few of their
floating fortresses for possession of the
Dardanelles and Constantinople while
preserving their fleets of swift cruisers
intact
1t would seem to be the purpose of
the newly appointed admiral to begin
an assault on the Dardanelles de-
fences and to continue it without in
corruption, and at whatever cost. until
they are captured. The world Will
likely stand aghast at the loss in yes
sells that will accompany the attempt
if that be true. but it appears to be the
one way TO success. The intermittent
attack has proved a failure.

Brother Vox. there are lot Of
/ things tina, lou can do but much de-
! ponds upon what YOU want 10 do
For instance. If YOU want 10 fool
4 your neighbors. don't put in any seeds.
/ Soon, those chickens viii exhaust the
/ natural food that's I'm your soil and
their owners VIII have to buy feed for
" them. Some chickens lay eggs and.
4 hence. another way 20 fool your neigh
bors would be TO put up nice nests in
your garden. .Surn your bulldog loose
n the neighbors show any disposition
20 come over and collect the eggs.
If you care not for your neighbors'
kind thoughts. kill the chickens and
boil them at a time when the wind Will
watt the odOrs toward their door.
There is no sweeter revenge, no strong
or remonstrance against the pernicious
perambulations OF anonymous fowls

thus: At either end of two feet

Embedded i'm a kernel of corn.
Plant the kernels 3 inches apart.

Now. the hooked corn being planted

Ter cents worth of fishhooks and 3

known gardeners TO foolishly catch
