CUT OFF HIS HEAD
Indian Gurkha Used Successfully in
Trench Warfare.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
With the British Forces in Pales-
tine.-Silent death in the blackness of
night, the fate of unnumbered Turk
fish sentries surprised at their posts
by patrols of Indian troops with the
British army. has imposed upon the
Ottoman soldiers a wholesome respect
for these dark-skinned fighters who
have replaced many white contingents
sent to other fronts.
The cleverness of the Gurkhas at
stalking has had a terrifying effect
upon the minds of the Turks, who are
constantly finding their men dead at
advanced stations, with nothing to be-
tray the coming and going of the foe
The result has been a case of nerves
among the enemy, prompting constant
alarms.
Gurkhas and Sikhs, eager for active
fighting. are continually suggesting
raids and sectional attacks, uncon-
sciously answering the exultant pre-
dictions of enemy publicity organs that
their substitution for whites would
open the way for an early Turkish Of
fensive which would sweep the British
forces from the country.
In action the Indian troops are as
keen as in anticipation of it. Their
approach, even after the warning of
a barrage, inevitably is SO swift as to
take the Turks completely off their
guard. Recently in broad daylight
Gurkhas reached unobserved a point
within close range of the enemy
trench. They rushed it and without
firing a shot, killed fifteen Turks and
brought back as many prisoners. Only
one of the attackers was wounded.
A subaltern in charge of a party of
the Indians had an extraordinary ex-
perience in this raid. He had stuck
his bayonet into a Turk. but was I'M
able to disengage it, owing to the mar
