Where Fearful Battles Were
Fought on GaIIipoIi.
More French Blood Was Spilled In
Valley Of KereVes-Dere Than at
Any Other Spot in the
Dardanelles.

Berne. Switzerland.-A French cor
respondent in the Revue Militaire
Suisse describes the fearful battles
which were fought in the early days
of October on the peninsula OF Cal
lipoli between the allied troops and
the Turks. One of the chapters of
the gruesome report is devoted to the
Valley of Kereyes-Dere, the "Ravine
Of Death" where more French blood
has been spilled than on any other
spot at the Dardanelles
I'VE passed dreary, dun day and
sat in our holes, watching the Turkish
trenches" the correspondent writes.
AT last the evening came and dark
ness followed quickly. Then the moon
rose and cast her silvery light over
the landscape This light was so
bright and clear that we could dis
tinguish the color of objects at some
distance.
THE Turks kept very quiet and the
night promised to be even more dull
than the day had been. Towards mid
night an officer invited me to accom-
pany him on a little scouting eXpedI-
ton. Cautiously we crept through
some miserable shrubbery. Every
where we saw dead bodies, singly and
in heaps. At last we reached the
crest of the height and we were with
in gunshot distance from the Turkish
position on the opposite hills.
Between the two heights there was
a large black hole, Kereves-D -Dere, the
'Ravine of Death looked down into

NEW Award
OF Street Paving Contract is
Made by the Council of
This City.

The city council Tuesday night
awarded w. F. Allen and Company
the contract to pave West Pike street
from its junction with West Main
to the railroad along the river. The
contract price is $2.89 a square yard
and covers the excavating. The con-
ract had previously been awarded to
w. B. Virgie who did not seem to
understand that the excavating was
to be included. 1t thus became nee
essary to make new award.
The city closed the street at noon
Wednesday to general traffic which
will be sent around by Locust street.
This action was taken to give public
service companies opportunity to pre-
pare their lines for the paving.
The street cars will continue to op-
crate there until about October 15
when they will be abandoned so as
not to be in the way of the paving
contractor.

When a Pocket of Oil is Struck
on the Highland Farm Near
West Milford.
ONE MOST SURE TO DIE
While the Others Condition is
Such That He, Too,
May Die.

Resulting from an oil and gas ex-
plosion and fire which occurred at
Z O'Clock Wednesday morning on the
Highland farm near West Milford,
where Flint and Strother, oil and gas
well contractors, were drilling we'll
for the Vesper Gas Company, Frank
n. Clausson. of Adamston, drlller,
and George Cornell, of $50 Mulberry
street, tool dresser, are patients in
st. Mary's hospital suffering from
burns which in all probability will
prove fatal TO Clausson and may
prove fatal for Cornell.
Strike Oil Pocket.
According to u story told by Mr..
Cornell at the hospital at noon We'd
nesday he and Clausson had just I'm
ished dressing bit when they struck
pocket Of oil and 1t flowed to the
top of the derrick. The oil ignited
from the fire in the forge, and the
oil set of the gas. An explosion fol-
lowed and 1t was heard for miles
around. Houses half mile away
were shaken by the explosion.
Men working on other wells on the
farm hearing the explosion and seeing
the fire ran to the assistance Of the
men. George Holmes, driller, the
first to reach the scene, found Claus
son near the boiler house where he
was working when the explosion &C.
Cured. Clausson's clothes were all
on fire and 1t took Holmes several
minutes to get the fire put out. He
rolled Clausson in the grass and in
this manner finally extinguished the
flames.
Tears OF Clothing.
By this tIme several other men
were on the scene and they looked
around the well for Cornell but could
not find him. They then thought that
he might have been in the rig when
the explosion occurred and was dead.
However, some of the men started to
search for him around the well and
he was found about fifty yards away,
where he had run after his clothing
caught FIRE. He had taken his burn
ing clothes off as he ran away from
the well and was almost nude when
found.
Rushed to Hospital.
A physician was summoned and
both men we're rushed to st. Mary's
hospital where their injuries were
dressed.
