SAYS DARDANELLES
 CANNOT BE FORCED
WEBER PASHA DECLARES FAIL URE OF ALLIES IS OBVIOUS
 TURKS IN GOOD CONDITION.

Krithia-Allied troops, who landed at Seddul Bahr, on the Gallipoli Penin- sula, hold about 10 square miles of the extreme southern part of the pe- ninsula. The occupancy is coupled with the greatest difficulties.
 The ground held by the allies con- s1sts principally of small plateau north of Seddul Bahr and two ad- joining ridges to the northwest. be- tween which the Turks are pushing advance trenches.
 The Associated Press correspond ents, who spent two days in the trenches, found the Turkish troops in excellent condition and spirits. in spite of the fact that the allies are using every conceivable means to carry on the operations, including bombs thrown from catapults and from aeroplanes.
 During the day time both sides are usually inactive, the Turks preferring night bayonet attacks. Many Turk 1sh batteries are in position, but the nearness of the opposing trenches makes their work very difficult and for the most part they are directing their attention to the reserves of the allies and to changing shifts which are exposed at certain points. The Turks in this have the support of their heavy batteries on the Asiat1c side, which since the rentirement of the allied fleet work without fear of being molested, bombarding chiefly the allied right wing, composed of French, home and colonial troops The number of wounded at the hos pital bases at the front was small, all though the fighting during the night had been fairly severe.
 Weber Pasha, the German general commanding the south group, gave the correspondent every opportunity to visit the Saddul Bahr district, placing no restrictions whatever upon the cor respondents movements.
 Weber Pasha, who is a member of the German military mission which undertook the improvement of the Ot- toman army organization is fully con- fident that the Turks will be able to meet the Gallipoli situation and that the allies will never advance against the Dardanelles forts

NEW LINE PENETRATEs FORESTS OF WHITE OAK AND PINE
 WILL SHORTEN ROUTE.
FINAL SURVEY HAS BEGUN
1t Is the Intention to Thoroughly De. velop the Country That Will
 Be Traversed.
Mountain Home


 The final survey for the line of the Ozarks railway was begun at the mouth of Big Creek, ten miles south of here. When the survey is com pleted the next step will be to get construction work started at once, which will be some time in July, it is said by the promoters.
 The Ozark Railroad, when com pleted, will be another connecting link between Springfield, Mo, and Little Rock, and will shorten the distance between the two cities.
 North from Mountain Home to Springfield 1t will go through some of the richest territory in the Ozark Mountains. In Missouri it will tra- verse Ozark, Douglas, Christian and Green Counties; in Arkansas, Baxter, Marion, Searcy, Van Buren, Conway, Faulkner and Pulaski Counties.
 Besides opening up large tracts of valuable pine timber that has been ill waiting for years on account of no transportation, it will go through one of the largest bodies of white oak timber in the United States.
 It is the intention of the company to thoroughly develop the section of country that will be traversed by the road Diversification of agricultural products, dairying and fruit growing are among the industries that will be encouraged by the company.

LANSING Is NAMED
 ID SUCCEED BRYAN
PRESIDENT WILSON'S SELECTION WAS ENDORSED BY MEMBERS
 OF HIS CABINET.
HAS SERVED AS DIPLOMAT
New Head of State Department Was One of the Founders of the Ameri-
 can Society of international Law.

Washington. Robert Lansing, who was counsellor of the State De partment, has advised President Will son in law and precedent in the policy pursued by the United States toward belligerent governments since the out break of the European war, was named secretary of state to succeed William Jennings Bryan.
 Few appointments in recent years have given such widespread satisfac- tion in the national capital MT. Lan- sing is a lifelong Democrat but Ie has devoted his time to international law and diplomacy and is as popular with former Republican officials as with his colleagues. Members of the cabinet and close personal friends of the president advised the selection, and MT Bryan himself, although not consulted, is understood to have hoped for the promotion of MT. Lansing.
 Official announcement ot the selec- tion of Mir. Lansing, who has been serving as secretary ad interim since the resignation of MT Bryan on June s, was made in the following state ment:
 Before leaving for a brief rest in New Hampshire the president an- nounced that he had offered the post of secretary of state to MT. Robert Lansing, the present counsellor of the Department of State, and that MT. Lansing had accepted the appoint ment"
 A commission was prepared which President Wilson signed, giving MT. Lansing a recess appoistment. When Congress reconvenes the nomination will go to the Senate. No opposition is anticipated.
 One of the peculiar circumstances in connection with MT. Lansing's ap- pointment is the fact that he person. ally has no political backing or in- fiuence. Succeeding William Jennings Bryan foremost among leaders of the Democratic party, comparatively un- known quantity in the political world has been ushered into the premiership of the cabinet.
 MT. Lansing is 51 years old, a native of Watertown, N. Y, and descendant of the family of John Lansing, who represented New York in the Consti- tutional Convention of 17S7 at Phila- delphia, and later was chancellor of the State of New York After gradua- t1on from Amherst College in 1886. Mir. Lansing chose the profession of his father and ancestors-the law = and continued in private practice except when retained by the American gov ernment or foreign nations in import ant cases. He has represented tho United States in more international arbitrations than any living American. and a French authority recently wrote that MT. Lansing probably had had a longer and broader experience in in- ternational arbitration and had ap- peared more frequently before inter- national tribunals than any living law yer.
