SYDNEY, Australia, October 10 CPD.-
A storm of angry protest is sweeping
Australia over a slur upon the Aus.
tralian part in the landing at GallipoH
on April 25. 1915, which newspaper
accounts say appears in the British
official history of the Gallipoli cam
paign, just published.
The history is quoted as referring
to the Australian troops at the land
ing as IAN ill-trained, in-fed, disor-
ganized rabble. the majority herded
on the beach at Anzac, while others
held the heights"
The press is flooded with indignant
denials by high officers of the Aus
trallan imperial force, some of whom
describe the history as "the vilest
libel on AustraIia's dead. .

Agrees With Currie.

Sir John agreed with Gen. Sir
Arthur Currie's protest against the
original British official record which
contained slurs on the Canadian
forces.
The whole affair may be due to a
misunderstanding. in the opinion of
Capt. c. E. w. Bean, official historian
OF the Australian and New Zealand
forces, who was at Gallipoli through
out the campaign. The terms COM
planned Of did not appear in the draft
of the British official history which
was sent to Australia for correction,
1t is stated.
Some accounts attribute the state
ments to a history of the Dardanelles
campaign compiled by two officers Of
Fl. M. S. Aragon. which was the
headquarters of the inspector gem
eral of lines of communication and
which throughout the Gallipoli cam
paign was moored in Lemnos Har-
Dor, six hours sail distant.

ceeded Sir William Birdwood as
commanderin-chief of the Australian
forces. in protest says:
1t is just another of those deprecia-
tions of the Australian soldier which

Beach but Australian and New Zea.
land soldiers. They were the onlv
troops there for many weeks. 1t can.
not, therefore. possibly be true that.
as the history states, others did the
nghting for them while they, huddled
on the beach.
1T is beyond question in the minds
or all strategists that the landing
at GallipoH was a magnificent and
unparalleled feat of arms. If there
are TO be any comparisons made be-
tween British and Dominion troops at
Galhpoh, then may say that the
dominion generals were unfortu-
nately compelled to form a very poor
opinion of the British troops. with

THEATERS

The magnificent plot, fine charac-
terization and beautiful love story
are among the outstanding reasons
why "Ben Hur" has gripped the
Imagination of America for fifty
years. Tn the motion picture com
ing to the Palace theater four days
starting tonight, the splendid por-
trayals of Ben Hur by Ramon No
varro. Esther by May McAvoy,
Mother of Hur by Claire Mcdowell,
and Tirzah by Kathleen Key, add
to the effect and enhance the ro-
nance. These players live the 70.
mantle side of the story, which is
just as engrossing as the sea battle
or even the chariot race.
Miss McAvoy, who previously was
hest remembered by her role of
Grizel in Sentimental Tommy is
charming Esther, daughter Of the
Merchant Of Antioch, who secretly
has saved the Hur fortune for the
Young heir, and Ramon Novarro in
the Ben-Hur role is handsome, val

and range of feeling.

ties. Later G. X. lockwood, q young
engineer became interested in di-
verting water from Colorado river
and by 1896 the California Develop
ment company was organized. In
1900 George Chaffey, engineer and
capitalist of Southern California,
brought more money to the project t
and actual work was begun in 1901.
Through difficulties and setbacks
the development continued until
1906 when the Colorado changed its
course, cut n channel through the
heart of Imperial Valley and emp
tied into the Salton Sea. After II
long struggle, the development com
pany, Southern Pacific company,
settlers, and federal government
with the help of Epes Randolph, pio
neer railroad builder, closed the last
break in February, 1907, and the
valley settled down to permanent
prosperity.
