1t is nOs out Of place to say that the

they do now. The acreage sown in
winter wheat is far beyond what II
has been in previous years, and the
outlook for an enormous yield per acre
was never better. In most instances
the farmers have prepared their
ground as it should have been, and as
a result crops were never SO far ad.

ty-one French soldiers, who were shot
as they were leaving trenches near
Ypres when the Germans attacked
them with asphyxiating gases were
brought today to the American am
bulance hospital. In addition TO
wounds they were suffering from in.
famed bronchial tubes and their eyes
are swollen from the poisonous
fumes.
AS soon as the Germans preceived
that the French were leaving their
trenches, they opened up an intense
rifle and machine gun fire.
It was this fire which caught the
wounded brought to the American
hospital, they having been picked up
by French troops held in reserve.
These reserves, counter-atta cktng,
carried the greater part Of the
trenches which had been evacuated.
The narratives Of the wounded men
differ in some respects. The phy-
sicians at the hospital attribute this
divergence to the psychological cf-
fects Of wholly new experience.
Some of the patients say positively
that the Germans threw bombs, which,
on exploding, distributed the gases.
The majority, however, spoke of hav-
ing observed a thick, lemon-colored
smoke arising in front Of the German
trenches and concealing them as
though heavy curtain had been let
down. The gases hung close over the
earth and, propelled by gentle
breeze, crept towards the French
earthworks, scarcely 100 yards away.
The physicians believe that no per.
manent harm is likely in the case of
those who were not stifled to death.
The survivors suffer poignanly from
inflamed membranes, but will recover
without treatment In some cases
pneumonia or bronchitis may follow.
1t is the opinion of the physicians
that the vapors must have been either
chlorine or else of sulphurous ma
ture. 1t is hardly believed that car
bon-Monoxide was used, as the gas
cannot be preceived with the eyes.
1t is evident from the stories of
the soldiers that the wind must be
precisely right to give full effect to
the gases. for, if released in a strong
breeze. the fumes would be dissipated
and blown about before reaching the
objective point. Meteorological charts
of northern France show that the
breezes are from the south /
and southwest, which would favor
the allies rather than the Germans IN
the extensive use of gases.

CALAIS FATE Still
HANGS IN BALANCE
Allied Land Forces in Turkey Are
Trying to Batter Their Way
Through to Constantinoble

LONDON. April 27.-On the narrow
rocky Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey
and on a restricted front stretching
northward from Ypres, in Belgium, two
of the most vital struggles of the wal
are now in progress. Neither struggle
has yet reached state which woult
permit of a prediction of the ultimate
result.
'In the Gallipoli peninsula fighting

landed Sunday under support Of the
fire of the warships, are trying to bat
ter their way through thousands Of
German-officered Turks in an effort
to force the Dardanelles, the main
gateway of the Ottoman empire, and
reach Constantinople.
According to the British claim, the
attack is progressing. but Turkish
communication received tonight de-
clares that. although the allies landed
forces at four points, these forces are
being beaten back to the coast, while
deserting the tri-color and casting
their lot with their co-religionists.
Equally contradictory are the state
ments concerning the fighting in the
vicinity of Ypres. 1t would appear that
the German offensive north of that
city, which resulted in their recent
gain of nearly three miles, has reached
its limit, and that, although the Ger
mans hold most of the ground they
gained, the question now is whether
they have sufficiently consolidated the
new line to retain it,
