FIERCE STRUGGLE IN THE DARDANELLES ^onor for commander of THIRD infantry brigade Graphic Account of Allies' Victory on the QallipoU Peninsula. A despatch from Alexandria says: The British and French line on the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Aegean to the Dardanelles is confronted by rising ground that culminates in the centre with a flat summit, Achi Baba, 800 feet high. On either side the ground falls away to the sea in ra- vines and dry water courses called Deres, which the Turks have had time to make impregnable to any except those superb troops that are now fighting to pass over them. There is no room upon the Gallipoli Peninsula to find peak points, and we are now in the position of having to storm an immensely strong fortress, the ad- vanced works of which by an amaz- ing feat of arms we already hold and the glacis of which has to be crossed before we move forward to the as- sault upon the bastion of Achi Baba and beyond to the final assault upon the very walls of that fortress. On June 21 it was determined to straighten the line upon the extreme right and at 1.30 a.m., the prelimi- nary bombardment began. All through the morning the cannonade went on. By noon the second division of French had en the left stormed and cap.tured all the Turkish trenches of the first two lines. Even the Haricot redoubt with its damnable entangle- ments and maze of communicating trenches was in French hands. On the right, however, the first division, after reaching ita objective, had been counter-attacked so effectively that they had fallen back. Again they ad- vanced, again they took the trenches and again they were driven out. It began to look as if the victory upon the left would be fruitless. That position would become an untenable salient and the Haricot redoubt re- vert to the enemy. At this moment a message was sent to say that the trenches must be captured and when recaptured, held. A Fierce Battle. There were still five hours of day- light for this battle of the longest day of the year. British guns and howitzers were asked for and sent at once, and the bombardment was re- sumed throughout the afternoon. At 5.30 it seemed as if every gun on earth were pouring shells on the Tur- kish lines. At 6 o'clock the third assault was delivered. In one trench there was a temporary shortage of ammunition, but the enemy fought even with stones, sticks and fists. A battalion came hurrying up from the Turkish right to reinforce it, and was caught on open ground by the drum- ming 75's and melted away. Thus GOO yards of Turkish trenches were taken, and still the bombardment cvontinued in order to ward off the counter-attack that was anticipated. In the morning we heard gladly that the enemy's counter-attacks had fail- ed and that our allies were indeed firmly established. The Turkish cas- ualties were at least 7,000. One trench 200 yards long and 10 feet deep was brimming over with dead. They had been valiant, those dead men. French officers who fought in the west say that as a fighting unit one Turk is worth two Germans; in fact, with his back to the wall, the Turk is magnificent. GERMANS FAIL TO SMASH FRENCH FRONT Attack by 40,000 Germans in Argonne Checked at. Second Line. A despatch from Paris says: The French forces in the Argonne have survived another great onslaught against their lines in the region of Four de Paris, with the result that the front is firmly established about 200 yards in the rear of the former first line trenches, which were com- pletely destroyed by German high ex- plosive shells of large calibre. This German attack, which was the fourth in two days, was- delivered by a force estimated by the French War Office at two divisions, or 40,000 men. The French front trenches had been previously obliterated by bombard- ment, and the troops who clung to the ruined position were forced to fall back by the employment of asphyxi- ating gas shells. When the German infantry rushed forward, however, and crossed the first French line with the intention of piercing the main â-  positions on the second line, they found themselves facing an immova- ble obstacle. The French second line nowhere yielded ground, and counter- attacks were immediately delivered and the enemy driven back to within a short distance of his original poai-. tiona. On the rest of the western battle front the fighting has b«e»i confined i to artillery duels, particularly to the north of Arras and on the Aisne front. Two German atUcks against the new French front in the V'osgea were at once repulsed. The Germans are believed to b« transferring large forces of troops from the Russian to the French front, as the closing of the Belg^ian- Dutch Border several days ago now has been followed by sinnlar mea- sures on the German-Swiss frontier. The Swiss-Baden line has been closed, also the Wurttemburg border. SWnZERLAND GUARDING HER FRONTIER Fear Teutons !Vlay Resort to Reprisals and Possibly Violation of Swiss Neutrality. BRIG.-GE.V. M.

MASS AHACKS END IN FAH^URE Germans .Mowed Down by French Machine Guns on .Vblain Road. A despatch from London says: The Germans attacked the French line at several points, but in each instance were driven back. The strongest movement was directed against the road from .\blain to Angres, where the Germans moved forward in their favorite close formation, only to b>j mcvted down by the French machine gun fire and forced to retire after suffering heavy losses. A German battalion also attempted to storm the village of Fey, five miles west of Pont-a-Mousson and the Mo- selle River, but was forced to retire after reaching the French wire en- tanglements. In the fighting the French repulsed two German attacks in the region about Metzeral, in .Alsace, and main- tained all their positions in the Ar- gonne, where the fighting was ex- ceedingly fierce, the Germans claim- ing to have taken 2,556 prisoners in this regrion. The allied entrenchments in Flan- ders, especially in the region of Neu- ville, Ecurie and Roclincourt, were subjected to a heavy bombardment by the German guns on Saturday. Berlin announces that German air- men attacked Nancy and the railway station at Dombasle. a place south- east of the city, and that this result- ed in railway communication with Fort Remiremont. one of the French Lorraine defence works being sever- ed. A despatch to the Daily Chronicle from its correspondent in Northern France says: "Details supplied by a young woundeil French officer give a new and thrilling view of the almost incredible heroism by which the Laby- rinth was captured. ''Trench war- fare," he said, "is nothing to what we had to go through in those three weeks â€" three weeks, not in the open, not in the trenches, but in the under- ground lines of communication, nar- row galleries in the earth, with no light but tiny flickering oil lamps." J. P. MORGAN SHOT BY PRO-GERMAN Would-be Murderer Xlso Placed Bomb in Capitol at Washingtoiu A despatch from New York says: Frank Holt, a crack-brained teacher of German in Cornell University, ob- sessed by the idea that God bad ap- pointed him to stop the shipment of war supplies to the allies, tried to murder J. P. Morgan Saturday morn- ing after attempting on Friday night to wreck the Capitol at Washington with a dynamite bomb. The New York and Washingrton police have in- formation which leads them to believe that he planned next to go to Cornish, N.H., and attempt the life of Presi- dent Wilson. Holt forced his way into Mr. Mor- gan's house on East Island, three miles from Glencove. at S.'.^O Satur- day morning, drove the bul'.er before him by the menace of a revolver, searched the house until he found Mr. andMrs. Morgan on the second floor, and then, as Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan attempted to disarm him, fired two shots. One bullet en- tered the lower right side of Mr. Morgan's abdomen and lodged near the base of the spine. The other pierced the right groin, ranged down- ward through the flesh of the thigh and passed out of the body. The financier, who, as head of the banking house which is the purchas- ing agent of the British Government, had become an object for Holt's at- tack, is dangerously but probably not fatally wounded. This was the opin- ion, at least, of several of his part- ners and of his friends who had heard the report of the surgeons who ex- amined his injuries and who probed successfully for the bullet which en- tered the abilomen. He owes his life very likely to the courage and quick- ness of Mrs. Morgan, who, the first to detect Holt lurking in the shadows of the upper hallway, literally flung herself at the man and so disturbed his aim that he had no opportunity to shoot straight. A despatch from Rome says: Swiss troops have been massed on the .A.us- tro-German frontiers owing to the closing of the Swiss-German frontier by Germany and that country's re- fusal to explain the reason. It is feared that the German action is a prelude to a protest against the pro- posed imposts through which it is in- tended to cut off supplies from Aus- tria and Germany. Germany evident- ly has .-lecid'Kl to resort to reprisals and possibly to the violation of Swiss neutrality, since the Spanish .Embas- sador at Rome has been asked to look after German interests in Italy in case of a rupture between Germany and Switzerland. Germany's interests here are now in charge of the Swiss Minister. VONMACKENZEN FRENCH ViaORY . HASTENS SOUTH IN DARDANELLES r Trying to Reach Railway in Poland Sis Lines of Trenches Won From the While the Good Weather : Turks in the Quadrila- Holds. teral. A despatch from London says: The advance of the Austro-German forces in Galicia and Poland continues at a rapid rate, with the Russians every- where falling back, fighting stiff rear- guard actions as they go. The Teu- tonic allies claim in their official re- ports, which are largely confirmed in Petrograd's communication, that Gen. von Linsingen has gained the crossing of the Gnila Lipa River, taking 7,000 prisoners from the Russians in that quarter, while on the Vistula and the Bug in Southern Poland Field Mar- shal von Mackenzen's army is said to be pushing back strong Russian forces. The crpture of the fortress of Zamosc is announced, bringing the Germans to within about 37 miles of the city of Lublin. On the left bank of the Vistula sev- eral successes are claimed by the Austro-Germans. who say they have occupied Josefow, a town on the river. Frederick Rennet, discussing the situ- ation in a despatch from Petrograd to the Daily News, says: "Gen. Mackenzen's main army is hurrying as rapidly as the light caval- ry and artillery, picked troops and motor transports can go across the gap of broken country towards the junction of the railway at Cholm. The continued absence of rains in this district favor his project, yet the Ger- man General has before him a dan- gerous passage across the marshy fens in the region of Kovel. "Mackenzen's enormous forces are trying their utmost to pierce the Rus- sian line, but without success." THRin COMMIHEE NOW ORGANIZED 10,000 WORKERS ENROLL EACH DAY Turkish Transport Sunk by Submarine A despatch from London says: A . 42, which was full of troops, accord- British submarine in the Sea of Mar- ' iug to the .\thens correspondent of morn sank the Turkish transport No. ', the Exchange Telegraph Company. A despatch from London says: The seven days granted the trade union- ists by the Minister of Munitions, ' David Lloyd George, to make ^ood ' their pledge that they would prove ' they were able to supply the needed munitions workers without recourse to compulsion expired June 30. With respect to results, W. E. Mor- gan, who is Mr. Lloyd George's chief assistant in this department of his work, said: "The enrolments are so highly sat- isfactory that I think I can say that the voluntary system has justified itself as applied to munitions work- ers. During the last two days the enrolment has averaged 10,000 a day."'

Bloemfontein, June 30. â€" General Barend Wessels, ex-member of the Council of Defence of the Union of Soi'th Africa, was acquitted at his second trial on a chargre of treason. He was convicted at hiB first trial, but secured a new hearing. GERMANS LOST A BATTLESHIP Pre-Dreadnouifht Torpedoed by Sub- marine off Port of Danzig. .A despatch from London says: A German battleship of 13,000 tons was attacked by a submarine and blown up at the entrance to the har- bor of Danzig, Prussia, a port on the Baltic Sea. .A.t the same time a Rus- sian destroyer rammed and appar- ently sank a German submarine which came up to attac's the Czar's vessels. This information is con- tained in a Russian official statement issuetl in Petrograd. which says: "The Russian cruisers Rurik, Makaroff. Bayan, Bogatyr and Gleg encountered the enemy at eight o'clock in the morning between the Is- land of Oeland and the Courlaml coast. The enemy consisted of a light cruiser of the .\ugsburg class, a mine layer and three destroyers. "The sea was shrouded in a fog. so dense that the ships frequently were swallowed up in a darkness, and therefore the gunfire inaccurate. The Russians, attempting to intercept the enemy's retreat, were attacked by the torpedo boats, but were unharm- ed." A despatch from London says: The Parliamentary campaign for national war thrift will be carried out under the auspices of a large committee, of which the joint presidents are Pre- mier .A.squith. .\ndrew Bonar Law^ and .•Vrthur Henderson. Its members will include some of the leading members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Public meetings will be held, a personal canvass will be made, and pamphlets bearing on the subject will be distributed. -A despatch from London says: An official statement given out by the British Government announces the capture of certain trenches in the Dardanelles operations which com- plete the capture of that part of the Turkish line gained by the French on June 21. I Sir Ian Hamilton, commanding tha I allied land forces, in his second official , despatch of the week, records the re- , pulse of a vicious counter-attack by [ the Turks, who were bent on recover- ! ing the lost ground south of the forti- j fled hill of .\chi Baba and the strong position at Krithia, which the British , have for some time been attempting ; to envelop. Despite the hard fighting ever since the landing on .Epril 25 the Franco- British expedition only lately has achieved anything notable toward strengthening its hold on the tip of I the Gallipoli Peninsult, A»hi Baba be- ing a small Gibraltar, bristling with ! machine guns, surrounded by barbed ' wire and terraced with trenches. This is the reason why an allied progress i is hailed with great satisfaction in England. _- + . A WONDERFUL HEALTH RECORD .A. despatch from London says: Sir William Osier, speaking at a meeting o; the Research Defence Society, said the fact that there had been only ' 1.000 cases of typhoid fever during ' the period of war among the forces ' of the Empire was something which only those who understood the history ' of t>-phoid in other wars could appre- ciate. It was a matter of much satis- I faction that at least 60 per cent, of j the wounded return to fight. "We ar« i going for the first time to have a war : in which the bullet will be accountable for the larger number of dejiths, and not disease," he said. YUKON QUICK-FIRING SECTION. Force of Fifty-six Men Training at Shorncliffe. .â- V despatch from London says: Fifty-six men, comprising the quick- firing section organized in the Yukon, have arrived here from Dawson City, under J. W. Boyle. They are now training at Shorncliffe. Further re- inforcements are expected shortly..

The Austrian U-U w<;s one of th* newest of .Vustrian submersibles and displaced about 860 tons. She was supposed to carry a crew of about 25 men. Many a patent leather shoe hides an aching corn. GERMANY'S TRADE WITH UNITED STATES A despatch from Berlin says: D'jr- ' , int; tho first six months of this year there was exported to tlTO United States and .\merica possessions from Hamburg, Luebeck and Kiel goods to the val-ie of 1,153,000. Statistics on ; this trade for the first six months of i 1914 show the export of goods valued at $14,994,000. The decrease in 1015 thus amounts to about 92.3 per cent This information is taken from the first of the .\merican Consular re- ports' on trade from Germany to the United States issued this year. It was prepared by Consul-GeneraJ Henry H. Morgan, of Hamburg.
