These amounts correspond fairly
well with the tax levy. There is a
variance where the amounts do not
come up TO the levy which may be
due partly to throwing the excess into

Monument Erected to Mark

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 26.-Mark-
ing the point from which Major-Gen-
eral Edward Braddock and his force of
British regulars and Virginia troops,
with Colonel George Washington as
aide -de-camp, departed from here in
April, 1855, on the disastrous expedi-
ton to take Fort Duquesne, the pres
ent site of Pittsburg, Pa, in the war
against the French and Indians, an in
teresting monument was unveiled here
today by the Society of the Colonial
Danes of Virginia.
Many members of the Society of Col

American Revolution and other pa
triotic societies from various parts of
Virginia, the District of Columbia, Ma
ryland and Pennsylvania witnessed the
presentation of the monument to off
cials of the city of Alexandria. Many
of those present will take part tomor-
row in the uneveiling of similar mon
ument at Winchester, Virginia.

doned here by General Braddock sur

great leaden-domed bazaars appeal to
the imagination of the westerner. Some
few and uncared for relics of eastern
empire and Grecian times have been
left to normal decay by the Turks.
"Galipoli has two harbors. Both
harbors have been improved, one of
them serving as the principal road
stead of the Turkish feet. Gallipoli is
1872 miles west-southwest of Constan-
tinople, the city which its guns are
meant to guard, and it is 80 miles
south of Adrianople, the powerful for
tress toward the Bulgarian frontier.
The Dardanelles at Gallipoli are about
two miles wide, their expanse being
completely dominated by the guns of
the port
Until Turkish occupation and the
putting into effect of the suspicious,
intolerant and short-sighted policies of
exclusion and and exclusiveness OF
the Orient, Gallipoli seemed destined,
as a well-placed port upon one of Ma
lures natural avenues of water trade,
to become one of the greatest of all the
commercial cities of the Near East
Through the centuries of Turkish rule
it has slept an almost dreamless sleep
Today, with population of 25,000
with few ambitions and little undes
standing of its advantages, it has
however, given, under the Young Turk
regime, some evidence of a re-awak-
ening.'

AUSTRIA WILLING
CEDE TERRITORY
To AVOID WAR
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times-Recorder)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-The
geography of the territories that Aus
tria was willing to cede to Italy to
purchase peace, as published by the
diplomats negotiating recently, is Civ
en- in the latest statement of the Ma
tional Geographic society, as fol-
lows:
Austrian proposals to Rome includ-
ed the cession of the southern Tyrol,
or that part chiefly populated by Ital-
ian-speaking people, and of a strip of
territory running from Jarvis to the
Gulf of Triest Italy was to receive
that part of Tyrol, which cuts deeply
into northern Italy, an outlying, irreg-
ular wedge-shaped land, whose apex
reaches nearly to Verona. The new
international boundary was to be
drawn just south of Bozen, giving to
Italy more than 1900 square miles of
Tyrolese country, wherein are the
larger cities, Trent, Riva, Roveredo
and Male.
"Trentino and the surrounding coun-
try, that was to be turned over to the
Italians, would have Strengthened out
the Italian northeastern frontier,
bringing the border line well into
the difficult, mountainous Alpine coun-
try of Tyrol. This region bristles with
Austrian Notifications, and almost ev-
cry foot of its way is adapted to stub
born defensive military operations.
More than 10000 people are support
ed in its valleys. Most of these people
speak Italian, and their re-
gion has long occupied the fervent 'ir.
ridentism' of Italian patriots.
THE proposed Austrian cession up
on the northeastern borders of Italy
affected strip of land roughly so
miles along the border line and ten
miles wide, or comprising somewhat
more than 500 square miles. Through
out this territory, likewise, the Ital-
ian-speaking population far outnum-
bers that of German or Slavonic
tongue Well-fortified hills, also dot
the northeastern border. This addi-
tional territory would have brought
Italy to a position upon the Gulf of
Trieste, changing the sheltered Aus
trian harbor into harbor whose
northwestern gate would be in the
power of a powerful neighbor."

|MPORTANT:PART
in NEUROPEAN|WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 25.-"This is the
greatest artillery battle in the history
of the world; the expenditure of am
munition is fabulous" writes an OBJ
server from behind the British lines at
Ypres, rescribing the fighting of April
25 and 26, which resulted in consider
able gains for the Germans.
After describing the almost contin-
uous cannonading that had been go
ing on for two days, with literally
thousands of guns in almost continual
action, the observer suggests that the
intensity of the firing may be judged by
the fact that one small bridge across
the User twenty German guns fought
eighteen English and French guns all
night, until finally the German guns
were silenced. "The French 75's," he
notes, were fired so rapidly that they
sounded like an endless roll of thunder
multiplied by thousand"
Touching briefly on the Canadians
part in the battle, he says: "One OF
the most notable incidents of the battle
was the work done by the Canadian
supply column. Not cartridge or
shell was a second late in reaching the
