But their way was blocked by a fast
increasing mob of armed men and less

The attack was disorganized, but
vicious. Firearms were not the only i'm

Meanwhile, with the echo OF the first
shot from the town. the camp outside
the village became astir with orderly ac-

permit American troops to continue the

the conclusion that a decision In the

short time.

THE LANDING AT GALLIPOLI.

April p will stand out the day of horrors in my life. I suppose the landing against such odds was of the finest things in history. Some poor chaps got ashore. Boatoad after boatload of troops grounded the barbed wire entanglements which stretched from the shore under water for thirty feet and not in them left alive. They foated away later filled to the gunwales with their dead.
 On shore the sight So congested were the Turks in their trenches such small land space that every tweve-nch six-nch shell simply sent heads, legs, and trunks of bodies flying in all directions. I think there must have been at least fifty heavy en-of-war-Britsh and French we'll torpedo boat destroyers as thick as gnats. banging away all day and all night with stop From the giant Queen Elizabeth down. every ship searching the Turkish trenches with guns of all calibers Above, aeroplanes spotting and bombdlopping.

Every child is world, world into which not even the tenderest love wholly penetrate
 However openly the clear eyes meet ours, however confdingly the soft hand is laid in ours this tender being will perhaps day deplore the suffering of his childhood because We treated him accordingly to the assumption that children replicas, not orig inals not new, wonderful personalities.

IT IS BETTER THUS.

American newspapers behaving remarkably we'll these days, considering the critical situation istng between country and Germany. They ap- parently all realize, the enormity of the situation. Not only because it looks like war, alone would not prevent them from expressing their opinion but because Americans think lot of Germany na- ton and hate like sixty to fan the flames hoping to keep down the fire, will result in amicable settle of differences.

IAN INDICATION"

Let us see if we locate the "cat" The Ju- neau Empire-as everybody knows-is ready to find fault with Delegate Wickersham, says
 "One of the things that indicate that
 Delegate Wickersham has introduced his State
 hood bill for political effect rather than in the
 hope of securing it's passage is the provision
 that Alaska shall have four Representatives
 in Congress. At the present time the ratio is
 Congressman to about 250,000 population.
 Wickersham would have the people of Alaska
 have representation equal to that of State of
 from S75,000 to 1,125,000. Of course the Wick
 ersham brigade, if it talks true to form, will
 howl that this sort of criticism that
 those who it do not want large dele
 gation in Congress for Alaska, and that there
 forq Wekersham should be reelected How
 ever, understanding and women can see
 the cat"
 At times the Empire like to hear itself talk. For instance in the above to prove its point that the delegate introduced his Statehood bill for political effect points out the provision that Aaska shall have four representatives in congress-" and says that the adopted ratio is congressman to about 50000 population; though it wanted to make the demand for Statehood appear ridiculous by reason of the small population of Alaska, and says that Understanding men and women the cat" Of course they un- derstand and can that congress is vested with

unlimited power All they need to do is to look over condition and they shall soon discover that we have nothing to say; that congress is the whole "push." Such being the case, what could prevent gress from giving four representatives instead of one For several years had representative, but finally We secured Conclusively if congress h1d power to give one, it has power to give four. Thus Gan indication" that the bill introduced for political effect is knocked in the head and the "cat' has disappeared
