I left my fatigue party, without

all along the docks and on the shore

There was poor old Murray. They
were Just taking him down. He had
been crucifled against the wall Of the
storehouse. There was a bayonet
through each arm, one through each
foot and one through his stomach
One of the garbies tainted when he
had to pull one of the bayonets out
They had hacked off his right hand
at the wrist and taken his identifica'

officers more than the Turks.
I do not know just what I did after
this. But it changed me all around
and I was not like my usual self dur
Ing the rest of the time.
It was still raining when we startoo

the road were numbers of troops
scoffing and among them Indian troops
on sentry duty. They looked like a
bunch of frozen turnips, cool and un-
comfortable. We were close enough to
make the roar of the cannonading
seem intolerably loud and could see
the bursting shells. particularly those
FROM the British ships.
Then we came across some Turkish
prisoners who were sheltering In an
old barn, I guess it was, and we
stopped for shelter and rest. They
told US that their troops were very
tired from long fighting, but that they
had plenty Of men. They said couple
of shells had dropped about a hun
dred yards from the barn just before
we came, so we knew the batteries
were trying to get our range and we
did not stay any longer, but went
away from there and on our road.
About 500 yards farther on we came
to ruins, and when we went inside
we found so or 60 of our boys cooking
and sleeping and not giving thought

onarp STAKES were sticking out of the
parapet and parados, and at the bot
tom were more stakes and rocks and
barbed wire.
We were advancing with bayonets
fixed and arms at the carry, so when
the first line fell, and some Of the
second, the boys of the third line came
running up, and In the scramble that
followed many Of the chaps in the
first few lines were bayoneted by their
comrades. was in the third line, but
I was lucky enough to pull up in time
and did not fall in. You could not look
down into that trench after you had
seen it once, it was too sickening.
Our casualties were sent back to the
ship. One boat was sunk by shell
and all the men lost.
We remained where we were,
scratching out shallow trenches for
ourselves, finding what natural cover
there was and otherwise getting ready
for the night, which was near. 1t
began to rain and we could hardly
keep any fires going, because we had
to shelter them from the shore side, so
the enemy could not spot us, and the
wind was from the sea. 1t was certain
ly miserable that night.
Every once in while we would
stand by to repel an attack, whether 1t
was a real one or not, and we were
under fire all the time. It seemed as
if morning would never come. The
sand was full Of fleas-great big boys
and they were as bad as any
cooties I had ever had at Dixmude.
The morning came at last, and ]
was detailed with fatigue party
to the beach where we had landed
stores. When we got down to the
docks I missed Murray and asked
where he was. They said he had been
missing from his post not more than
an hour from the time we left.

Continued from last week.
Then she went aground, with her
stern toward the shore and listed over
to port. You could see different arti-
cles rolling out and down the side.
Then her back broke. The quarter
deck was crowded with men half
dressed, with life belts on, jumping
over the side or climbing down. There
was an explosion and cloud Of black
smoke broke over us, and for while
I thought was blinded.
All the time the shells were raining
In on us and on the Champagne.
When could see again I saw the men
on tn, Champagne climbing down the
starbOard or shore side. One chap was
going down hand over hand along q
stanchion, when another fellow above
him let go and slid right down on him.
The first man fell about thirty feet,
landing in the water with his neck
doubled under him. Our lifeboats and
launches were out picking up sur
vivOrs.
Those who got safely over the side
started to swim ashore, but when they
had gone only little way they found
they could wade In. When the water
was only up to their waists they came
upon barbed wire entanglements and
not q man got ashore that way but
was scratched and clawed and man
gled horribly. Some of them that l
saw afterwards were just shredded
along the sides of their bodies like
coconuts. A great many of them,
though, were killed by shrapnel while
they were in the water.
On board the Cassard our guns had
been busy all the time, and 1t was not
hong before we put one enemy bat
terry out of commission. We had suf-
fered a bit, too, but not enough to
worry us. There were about 5000 men
on the Champagne, think, and at
least third were killed or drowned,
and the casualties must have been
almost twO-thirds. The ship was just
q mass of wreckage.
They called for landing party from
the Cassard. and officers asked for
volunteers for trench duty. was not
very keen about going, because l had
been in trenches at Dixmude, and /
knew how pleasant they were-not,
but / volunteered, and so did Murray.
We went ashore In our boats under
heavy fire. There were II men killed
In the lifeboat in which I was. I es-
caped without scratch.
We were mustered up on shore and
volunteers were called for, for sentry
duty. Murray volunteered. II he had
only gone on with the rest of Us he
might have come through. After q
short wait we were given the order to
advance. The firing became heavier
about this time, so we went at the
double. We had not got very far be-
fore we had fine little surprise party
handed us.
The front line was running over
what appeared to be good, solid
ground, when they broke through and
fell into trenches 80 to 40 feet deep.
These trenches had been dug, covered
over with A-inch boards and then
with dirt, andswere regular man-traps.

LittIe-Known Chinese Race.

Down in the extreme south of
China, in the eastern outposts of the
Himalayas, lies the little-known.
province of Yunan. The natives of
Yunan are exceptionally interesting,
writes Roy Chapman Andrews in Asia.
There are about thirty non-Chinese
tribes in the province, some of which,
such as the Shans, Mosos and Lolos,
represent the aboriginal inhabitants
of China.
1.-The Mosos formerly ruled all of
northern Yunan. At present they are
scattered in remote districts where
white men seldom penetrate. They
are simple, honest and delightful
people, primitive and pastoral They
are looked down upon by the Chinese
as barbarians. The invariabIe Moso
costume is a brown felt cloak and
close-fitting cap.

Differences in Coast Line.

The line of the Atlantic coast Is
largely of mud and sand, and has very
little elevation. On the other hand,
the Pacific coast line of Washington.
Oregon and California is almost entire
ly rocky and precipitous. While the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts are dotted
with numerous harbors where ships
may seek safety in time of storm, very
different conditions exist on the Paci-
fic, where there are few harbors, and
these at, long intervals.

are such that unless some definite
action is taken those same condi

and State heads of the Farm Mar

Conference in Twin Falls to discuss
this vital problem with the farmers.
S The management of .Idaho's irri-
cation waters is a matter which
will receive the attention OF the
Joint Conference, At the present
time the management Of all irriga-I
ton affairs is vested in the state
Land Board and it is proposed to-
revise the present laws SO that this
control may be placed in the hands
Of State Board of Control to be
created for that purpose. This Board
would be given the power to settle
disputes arising from the use and
of water for irrigation
purposes and the heavy expense
low placed upon users for attorney
ees, etc. would be eliminated. In
crested parties would have the
light of appeal to the courts from

WOOL GROWERS
PROSPECTS GOOD

J. Bateman & Co, wool commission
merchants of Philadelphia, report:
The wool market has shown more
activity within the last week or ten
days. The impulse back of this move
ment is found in the action of the
quartermaster general, who, on Feb
ruary 2S, stated that the Government
will exercise its option on all pur-
chases of South American wool made
subsequent to December Is, for those
qualities ranging from a low quarter
blood to good three-eighths.
AS a result of this action, spot
woods, both domestic and foreign,
which are free. have come in for an
increased attention, particularly from
those mills whose previous purchases
come under the war trade boards
regulation.
Prices on all medium qualities suit
able for Government work have hard
ened, and are distinctly in sellers
favor.
Fine Merino Wools: At the auc-
tions held in Boston on the 7th and
9th instants. the Australian wools of
fered realized prices which mark on
the whole a slight advance over rates
prevailing at the previous sales.
There was good competition, the
woods going largely into the hands of
consumers. At the auction sales to
be held in Boston this week a good
demand is anticipated, and we think
it altogether probable that higher
prices will be realized.
The Outlook: The war trade board
has announced that it has no present
intention of interfering with the or
binary movement of the domestic clip.
which will start to be shorn in April.
This statement finds cordial re-
sponse on the part of dealers, who be-
lieve that the best interests of all will
be served by the handling of the new
clip through the ordinary channels
So long as the war continues the
demand for wool is bound to be alb
normal. Our Governments needs
have required large purchases on the
part of mills working on army and
navy fabrics. with every indication of
an increased use of wool in order to
maintain the equipment of our pres
ent forces. as well as to provide for
the men still to be called to the
eolors.
Under these circumstances, it seems
TO Us that any undue speculation in
wool is to be deprecated. The fact
must not be lost sight of, if such
speculation does start and attain
serious momentum. that there is every
indication that the Government will
step in, as in the case of South Ameri-
can woods, and exercise control which
may have far-reaching effects.
