LEAVE With PAY urged
FOR NAVAL MILITIAMEN
Division Report Advocates Law
Granting Employees Leave of Alb
sence During Cruises.

Legislation granting Federal en-
ployes throughout the country who
are members of State naval militia
forces leave Of absence with full pay
during the period of annual practice
cruises; and legislation empowering
commanding officers of naval militia
divisions while on practice cruises,
to try offenders by court-martial, are
the outstan nding recommendations in
the annual report of the division of
naval militia affairs of the Navy De-
partment made public last night.
Special attention is also called in
the report to the need of battleships
for use by the New York first and
second naval militia -battalions for
practice cruises, rather than gunboats
and other smaller craft.
The vessels loaned to the naval
milftias," says the report, ARE in most
cases entirely inadequate for the pur-
pose, and the department should seri-
ously consider loaning vessels on
which the officers and enlisted men
can be properly trained"
Referring to the recommendation
regarding annual leave with full pay
for Federal oficeholders who are
members Of State naval brigsdes, the
report comments on the fact that
many large business operations and
banks are already granting such
privileges to those of their employees
who are learning military and naval
training.

The fight against the Turks along tn
shores of the Hellespont cannot be re-
garded, however, as defeat for the
British, Bravery of the allied troops
made tremendous impression upon the
Turks. / think today the Turks are at
heart more friendly to us than to the
Germans. They are fighting for the Teu-
ton cause now chiefly because of fear.
Naval Attack Premature.
The original mistake In the DardaneIles
expedition was the premature naval at
tack. This Immediately warned the
Turks of the plans OF the allies. Between
March 18. when the naval guns of the
entente powers FIRST bombarded the
Turkish coast and April rs, when allied
troops were landed. the Teuton- Turk
forces had ample opportunity to
strengthen the defenses of the Gallipoli
Peninsula.
The character Of the country on the
neck OF land Is extremely rough There
are no railroads. There are hardly any
wagon roads. The Turk guns had to be
hauled into place with great oificulty.

Man Next Door Changes His Bath Hour;
Sixteen Bluecoats Answer Burglar Call

1t really wasn't Aunt Liza's fault.
and it hardly was Rev. Mr.. Dunlap's
fault. so the police are inclined to
blame the man next door, who decided
to take his bath at o'clock Sunday
morning, instead of his customary
hour of a. m. Anyhow, the little In
cident turned out three automobiles
containing sixteen bluecoats in the
cold darkness of o'clock Sunday
morning.
Rev. Edwin s. Dunlap, assistant rec
tor of st. Johns p. E. Church, awoke
in the black darkness peculiar to 2
a. m. He listened apprehensively to
alarming sounds that came up from
the diEing-room. Apparently, some
thing was disturbing the family silver
