The British Admiralty's Report

London, March 20.-The British
admiralty last night announced that in
a general attack by the allied feet
Thursday on the Dardanelles fortress
es, the British battleships Irresistible
and Ocean, and the French battleship
Bouvet were sunk by mines. The bat
tie cruiser Inhexible and the French
battleship Gaulois were so greatly dam
aged by the Turkish fire that they had
to withdraw.
The admiralty statement SAYS that
virtually the entire crew of CPL men
of the BOuyet were lost. French of.
fetal reports, however, state there is
reason TO believe that part of the crew
was rescued.
Sixteen warships with total tom
mage of 231,59S, were engaged in the
Dardanelles, while from the Gulf of
Saros other ships bombarded Fort
kilid Bahr at long range. During the
battle there was steady stream of
shells from more than 200 guns of
more than 6-inch calibre.
Vice Admiral Saekville Hamilton
Garden, who is i'll, has been succeeded
in command at the Dardaneiles by

Belgium's Awful Plight.

Belgium's population has been re-
duced by about 100000 as result of
the war, and her condition presents a
situation without parallel in history,
says report issued by the Rockefeller
Foundation from its war relief COM
mission sent to investigate the effects
of the war upon noncombatants. 1t
is the first report from this commits
sion which went to Belgium last No
vember. After detailing how means of
transportation, communication and
banking exchange have been destroy
ed, commerce and industry paralyzed,
homes and other building laid low,
the agricultural districts devastated
and the food supply virtually cut off,
the report says: "Yet if one is to I'M
derstand the Belgian problem, it is
perhaps necessary to emphasize not
the restitution of a few hundred
thousand, but the suddenly enforced
inactivity of a strong and healthy ma
ton of 100000. This is what makes
the Belgian situation thing without
parallel in history"

DoUBLE-TRACKING c. S.
NEAR KINGS MOUNTAIN
Surveyors Endeavoring To Find .
Feasible Route Around Mountain
To Avoid Another Tunnel

A corp of surveyors and engineers
has been at work around Kings
Mountain for the past week or so.
surveying the valleys and passes with
a view to ascertaining if it is possible
for the Cincinnati Southern railroad
20 get over the mountain barrier at
that point without the necessity of
going through the mile-long tunnel.
This work is preliminary DIR. Thomp-
son, of that city, says, to the double
tracking of that railroad through
Lincoln county, the accommodations
OF the tunnel being sufficient for but
a single track.
DR.. Thompson, who was in STAN
ford last week, was telling of the ae-
tivlty being displayed by the railroad
In its double-tracking operations Ac-
cording to the terms of the long
lease by which the Southern Railroad
is operating the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific Railway from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, ii is to re-
turn the road to the city of Cincinna-
tt, its owner, at the end of the lease,
with the entire system double-tracked
the terms of the lease demanding that
a certain per cent of the profits made
on the road shall be expended upon
permanent Improvements of the road,
each year, and double-tracking is one
OF these required
DIR Thompson says that one of the
chief engineers of the road has ex-
prssed the belief that it will be cheap
err In the long run for another tunnel
to be dug alongside the Kings
Mountain tunnel, than to endeavor
to build through any of the valleys or
passes which nitersect the mountain
IN that section of the county. Surveys
have been made several times in the
past, of a possible route around the
mountain but none of them has ever
been satisfactory, says DR.. Thomp-
son, and it seems probably that when
the double-tracking operations reach
Kings Mountain, another tunnel will
be blasted through the mountains
alongside the old tunnel.
= Work of double tracking on the
Cincinnati Southern is now in prog
ress from Fishing Greek in the lower
section of Lincoln, to Science Hill, in
Pulaski county. A large portion of
the roadway south from Cincinnati
has been -doubled-tracked, and much
has also been done in
Tennessee. 1t will be but very few
years now until the entire length of
this magnificent railway system will
be double-tracked from beginning to
end. The Queen & Crescent is one of
the greatest railway systems in Amer
lea and spares no pains to secure the
safety, comfort and convenience of
its patrons.

point, and in some lines fine advances
have been made during the past year.
The hospitable homes of the people
of Hubble were thrown open for the
