INDIAN FIGHTERS ARE
RESPECTED BY TURKS
rsv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL lx.srp w,pri

With the British Forces in Pales-
tine, Oct. 11.--Silent death in the
blackness of night, the fate of UNI
numbered Turkish sentries surprised
at their posts by patrols of Indian
troops with the British army, has i'm
posed 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
betray the coming and going Of the
foe. The result has been case Of
NERVES" among the enemy, prompt
ing constant alarm.
Gurkhas and Sikhs, eager for act
i've fighting, are continually suggest
ing raids and sectional attacks, Gun
consciously answering the eXultant
predictions of enemy publicity or
gans that their substitution for whites
would open the way for an early
Turkish offensive 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
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 wounds
ed
A subaltern in charge of party
of the Indians had an extraordinary
experience in this raid. He had stuck
his bayonet into Turk, but was un-
able to disengage It. owing to the
narrowness of the trench. Another
Turk nearby began jabbing the butt
end of a rifle. into the officers ribs.
suddenly the Englishman saw his as
sailants head leap from his should
ers, Gurkha having dexterously de-
capitated him with his kookhri, an
invaluable weapon in close quarters.

A MORE DEATHS FROM
INFLUENZA AT DENVER

Denver Colo, Oct. Flour deaths
from Spanish influenza today brought
the number OF victims Of the disease
in Denver to. 40, Of which the de-
partment OF health attributes "a di-
rectly TO influenza with influenza as
tho contmbutory cause TO the re-

CRASH AT SEA THOUGHT
TO HAVE TAKEN HUGE
TOLL OF AMERICAN LIVES
(Conttnued from Page one.)

continued from rage One.)
-Four times the battered destroyer
came alongside and each time the
previous scenes were repeated. At
the end of the fourth trip she had
80 Americans. 236 of the crew, 30
French sailors and one British Of
ficer on board The boat was full
and, having done all possible, she
started for port.
The survivors saw the Otranto
drifting helplessly toward the rocks
as they pulled away toward the Irish
coast. The destroyer barely had time
to send a brief message when her
wireless was carried away. The lit
tie overloaded vessel had a rough trip
to port
One of the American troops on
board the Otranto pictured the scene
when the vessels collided, Soldiers
lined the decks as though on parade
and at the word of command stood
at attention like statues. They never
wavered, remaining there in military
formation, eXemplifying during the
crisis the noblcst traditions of the
army for herosm and discipline The
same thing, said the soldier, applied
TO the seamen.
Bodies Being Washed Up.
Numbers of bodies today were be-
ing washed up rapidly on the shore.
1t was reported that l7j had been
counted at noon and nearly all Of
them had been identified.
A seaman on the Otranto described
the most tragic moment of the disas-
ter as that when the order came for
the men to jump and save themselves.
The destroyer looked a very small
boat alongside the former Orient lin
err, and many landsmen among the
American troops thought themselves
safer aboard the larger vessel. This
was fatal to many of them.
The victims are to be collected al
the most suitable place and buried
there. A boat left Liverpool today
with material for collins, fifty labor
ers and carpenters and chaplains to
conduct the funeral service. The
grave of every man viii be marked
and charted.
There were few cases among the
dead where Identification was de-
layed. Every man had worn an iden-
tification tag on his wrist or neck
but in some instances these were torn
off and it was necessary to take fin
ger prints /of the men.
Men Wave u Farewell.
An instance of the many rescues
by the Mounsey was that of T. l.
Campbell, a Memphis lawyer, and a
secretary of the Y. M. c. A. He weighs
220 pounds. He was perched on the
Otranto's rail awaiting chance to
spring upon the destroyer the third
time the Mounsey came up. AS he
leaped the Mounsey lurched away and
intsead of landing in the middle OF
the deck as he had hoped to do one
of his legs caught in the cable on the
side of the destroyer. Campbell
pulled himself aboard uninjured.
'Just when the destroyer was pull
ing away the last time" said Camp
bell today, The men lined the rails
or stood on the after deck waving a
farewell. A huge wave struck q
crowd of about eighteen privates on
the after deck and dozen of them
were swept into the sea to sure death,
as 1t was impossible to save persons
from waves running Sky TO seventy
feet high"
