tary duty. The heirs of soldier who
died at Camp Beauregard brought
action against an insurance company
to recover the amount of the policy.
The company defended on the ground
that a clause. 1T is expressly pro-
vided that death while in the service
of the Army or the Navy is not risk
greater than the amount actually paid
to the company thereon relieved the
company from liability. On appeal
the supreme court sustained the de-
cision, holding that it was not con-
trary to public policy to insert and
enforce such a provision.
In this instance the soldier died of
at a distance of more than
1000 miles from the scene of actual
fighting. but the court held that he
came within the scope of a lawful
condition in the policy and that the
beneficiaries could not recover. The
war risk insurance policy contains no
such reservation.

At Gnba Tepe there were steep little
hills with qlarrles In between them.
and most OF the prisoners we took
were caught In the queries. We
found lots OF dend Turks under piles
OF rock. where our guns had battered
the walls OF the quarrses down on
them.
We we're fighting about this part OF

out and were starting ahead on foot
We captured that whole buHch-I do
not know how many IN all. They were
relnforcements on their way to n part
OF their line that we were battering
very hard. and by capturing them wa
helped the Anzacs n great deal. for
they were able to get through for n
big gain.
We held that position. though they
ralned shells on us so hard all that
day and night that we thought they
we're placing a barrage for a raid. and
stood TO arms until almost noon the
next day. But our guns gave back
shell for shell, and pounded the Turk
ish trenches and broke shrnpnel over
them until they had all they could
do to stay In them.
Finally, u guns placed she'll after
shell on the enemy's communication
trenches. and they could neither bring
up relnfo"cements o retire. So we
went over and cleaned them out and
took the trench. But then our guns
had 10 stop because we were In range,
and the Turks brought up reinforce
ments from other parts OF the line and
we were driven back after holding
their trench all afternoon. II was
about nfty-ifty, though. for when they
reinforced one part Of the line some
OF our troops would break through In
another part.
That night there was a terrible rain
storm. / guess II was really n cloud
burst. We had all the water we
wanted then, and more, too. A great
many men and mules were drowned.
