prospect, concludes that there

associate the idea of turbulence
with Albert w. Gilchrist. He is
a genial and charming gentleman

Palatka News = Sulphur water
is no novelty in Florida, especially
in the neighborhood of Palatka,
but Brother Jordan seems to have
just found it to be something out
of the ordinary in Punta Gorda.
Here in Palatka, tourists and ma
tives alike have been going to our
sulphur wells all the year round
for many years to secure some
thing to drink, and for the past
five years in Palatka there has
been "water, water, everywhere,
but not a drop to drink" of any
thing stronger than this loud
smelling sulphur water.

a naval preliminary to advance over
land upon Constantinople.
A new and highly dramatic aspect
was given 10 the war In March when
the allies assembled the powerful fleet
at the western entrance TO the Darda-
nelles and prepared to force passage
through the Turkish forts along shore.
The ships were expected TO silence the
main forts and cooperate with land
troops which would march on Con
stantinople. The vast enterprise for
the conquest OF Constantinople was an
nounced as a desperate effort to open

was concentrated before Paris.

night the British and French, who had
retreated hastily from the Belgian Dor

Aisne and east Of the Meuse, where the
line rests up to this date.
