On the other side, the Turkish forts have not been si1enced and the losses sustained by their gar risons are nominal.
 The action lasted fully seven hours during which time there was a ter rife cannonade from the ships of the allies and the Turkish forts The fire from the warships at times was exceedingly severe.

of the squadron's work in organizing
for a fight against John Barleycorn.
This movement is being supported

New England who favor prohibition as
protection against accidents to their
employees, for which the recent work.
mems compensation act in MasSachu-
sets holds the employer responsible.
1t is claimed by some manufacturers
that more than 20 per cent. of the ac-
cidents in their shops are directly
traceable to the use Of alcoholics. and
If this is the case, il is regarded as
good business policy to spend money

Mr.. Kershner, the secretary of the
squadron, states that the economic
phase OF the question will hold equal
place with the political and social
sides Of the discussions in the public
meetings, and that SO called religious
and moral issuessswill be ignored en-
tirely by the squadron as prohibition
/ is an issue affecting food, clothing,
shelter and the other common wants
! and luxuries Of all alike, regardless Of
creed"
When asked just why this movement
is needed Secretary kershner said
| There is no other organization that
can unite all classes of prohibitionists
INTO vital political movement We
must go into politics because this is
democracy, but on the other hand we
must shake off the shackles of con-
Ventions which are controlled, not by
the voting constituency. but by the
rings and friends of the ring. We are
forced by circumstances to go direct
to the people. There must be a new
alignment and that can be had only by
breaking through the barriers Of party
prejudice with concerted expression
Of our demands upon those who want

BRYAN URGED TO
STUMP Maine,
new ENGLAND
Flying Squadron Ask S
Former Sec'y to Enter
Great Prohibition
Campaign \

Boston, June 25.-(Specian-It was
State Bryan has been solicited to
stump for prohibition on so days
campaign through New England, and
the possibility OF his doing SO has
been attributed as the cause for the
cancellation of some Of his speaking
dates in this section. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Bryan is strongly in favor OF
prohibition. and as Massachusetts is
the only state having an important
campaign this fall, he will naturally be
called here, as he takes the stump on
this issue irrespective Of party poll
tics.
The Flying Squadron Of New Eng
land which is endeavoring to sign up
Mr.. Bryan has just completed its or
ganization with general headquarters
at 101 fremont street. The plan Of
the squadron is to take a canvass of
every voter in New England for the
purpose Of securing an accurate tabu-
lation and declaration Of the public
opinion on prohibition. 1t is the con-
tention of the squadron leaders that
the majority Of the voters of all par
ties are now in favor of prohibition
and that when this constituency sup
ports only such candidates and parties
as declare for prohibition, than all par
ties and candidates will come out on
the issue.
The personal work of the local
sauadrons, working under the direction
Of the FLYING Souadron of New Eng
land, will be supplemented by more
than 600 public meetings which
Will be conducted by speakers
and organizers of national reputation.
The public meetings will be under the
direction of two groups of the best
speakers obtainable. Experts on the
