the honor of giving the greatest sup
port to the association and which
shall be the first to complete the
highway that will be link of the Old
Spanish Trail through some of the
prettiest country to be found any
where in America. These county
seats of Washington, Holmes and
Walton county, with few miles each
of road to construct through some of
the worst stretches along the route,
entered with the coming of Jas. A.
Emmett, field secretary, into a race
to see which shall be the first to finish

REMARKABLE
DONE
BY H0WITZERS
Performances on Gallipoli
Peninsular Nothing Short
of Wonderful Work.
q AssocIATHp 80.

Wellington, New Zealand, Jan. e.
Remarkable performances in the way
of close shooting upon the GallipoH
peninsula are recorded of the New
Zealand howitzers and field guns. The
New Zealand official war correspond
emit, Malcolm Ross, reports that
toward the end Of August major
of infantry telephoned calling atten-
uon to the fact that the New Zealand
howitzers we're dropping shells into a
Turkish trench only five yards In
front Of the New Zealand howitzern
were dropping shells into a Turkish
trench only five yards In front Of the
trench occupied by his men. He there
fore asked the battery to cease firing
at that particular trench Of the enemy.
The reply was that the firing was be-
ing done purposely inasmuch as the
battery commander fully trusted his
men and his guns even with a margin
Of only five yards. The reason for
this close fire was because the infan-
trymen in the front trench had an
parently run out Of bombs and were
being severely deaig with by the
Turks.
During the Turkish counter attack
on the night Of May 10 the New Yea
land No. battery Of field artillery
fired GIL rounds Of shrapnel at Turk
ish trenches only 20 yards distant
from the Australasian trenches. The
shells shrielzed continuously over the
heads of the Australasians crouchinq
in their trenches and throughout the
night there was only one premature
burst AS It was a dark night and
the range only 1000 yards giving
necessarily a very fat trajectory,
''the feat" the correspondent SAYS,
involved accurate and careful lay
ing ON the part Of the gunners. The
slightest error such as the short set
ting Of a fuse would have beeea se~
rious under such circumstances.
