TURKISH DEAD IN HEAPS IN BATTLE ON GALUPOU PENINSUU Correspondent Describes the Desperate Battle for Possession of Sari Bair Hill A despatch from London says: The battle for Sari Bair hill, which the Aastralian and New Zealanders cap- tured, bat were compelled to evacuate because the troops on their left did not advance far enough, was a moat desperate one, according to the corres- pondent, who says: "The dead lie thick everywhere. The Turks came down in great num- hers from the ridge above and tried to sweep our men off the hill entirely. They themselves were driven back, however, with frightful losses. Being unable to bury their dead, the Turks i throw their bodies down the gully un- til they are stopped by the nature of ' the ground, while others thrown after them are stopped by the first Con- ' sequently the whole gully is choked with Turkish dead. "The Australians and New Zealand- â-  ers have gained another addition to I their newly-occupied territory. In ; their narrow position they now have ' elbow room and are in touch with our posts across the plain to Suvla Bay. .\nd what is not their least important advantage, they have a supply of ' fresh water within their own posi- â-  tion." DAUGHTERS OF THE KING OF BULGARIA IN ROYAL GARDEN ALLIES SHELL THE ENTmE BATHE LINE And Use Aircraft in Large Numbers to Bombard the German Barracks. A despatch from Paris says: The artillery has been the chief mode of warfare on the western line for the past few days. The most activity has been displayed by the guns of the allies, which have been shelling vir- tually the entire German line. In ad- dition the allies have been using their aircraft in large squadrons to bom- bard German barracks and positions. It is being vaguely hinted here that mid-October has i)een chosen as the time for the long postponed "big push" of the allies, but the point at which an attack is to take place is not being mentioned. The general public does not expect a strong offen- sive movement as yet, but in some circles there would be no surprise should Gen. Joffre, the French Com- mander-in-Chief, find it possible to- attempt some kind of a forward movement before mid-October. The French launched violent artil- lery attacks upon the German trench- es in Flanders and the Arras region, and silenced Gennan batteries at four points in the .^rgonne. From the ad- missions of the German official report h is apparent that the French were niccessful in an attack with grenades near Linopkopk, in the Vosges. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting for the possession of excavations left by mine explosions occurred at Marie Therese and west of the forest of Mallncourt. The French troops, having first gain- ed a footing in these excavations, re- tained possession of them in spite of the numerous German attacks. i That there is little danger of any more German aircraft dropping bombs | on Paris was evidenced recently when six German military aeroplanes were 1 put to flight, one of them being de- stroyed, on their way to attack the city. * SURVIVORS AWARD HONOR BY B.\LLOT A despatch from London says: The Victoria Cross has been awarded to Capt Willis, Sergt. Richards and Pte. Keneally, of the Lancashire Fusiliers, by an interesting, though not unpre- cedented, method of suffrage. The comrades of the 1st battalion of Oxt Fusiliers displayed extreme valor during the landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula last April. The King awarded three crosses. The survivors elected Willis, Richards and Keneally as having performed the most signal acts of bravery and devotion. $200,000,000 ANNUALLY FOR SOLDIERS' FAMILIES A despatch from London says: In sentencing a soldier for fraud in con- nection with separation allowances. Magistrate Sir William Trcloar re- marked that he understood the nation was now payin|; something like £40,- 000,000 ($200,000,000) a year in these allowances to families of sol- diers absent at the front. ZEPPELIN RAIDS AN UTTER FAILURE Although Berlin Is Told That L<mdon Has Been Partly Destroyed by Them. A despatch from London says: A very decided campaign in favor of more air raids on England is being carried on in the latest copies of the German newspapers just arrived. The leading Berlin journals urge the Gov- ernment to turn all attention possible to attacks on the British people in their homes, and openly declare that nothing less titan the destruction of London will satisfy Germany. The leaders of this propaganda call upon the Government to send the en- tire fleet of Zeppelins to the heart of England to create havoc and ruin that cannot soon be forgotten. Perhaps the most fiery demand upon the Gov- ernment is printed in the Taglische Rundschau. "Justice, every element of human justice," says this paper, "demands the destruction of London. There Is In the whole world no better target for aerial attack than the City of London, that gigantic, complex as- semblagre of lofty ancient warshouses with their enormous stores of all de- scriptions and their inviting situation in narrow streets. If only such raids can be repeated again and again the result will be assured." The Neuste Nachrichten encourages its readers by asserting that London already has been partially destroyed by the Zeppelin raiders and declaring that the remainder is soon to go. "Our brave air heroes," says the paper, "are not inspired by blind hatred or raging anger, but by a solemn and religious awe at being the chosen instruments of a Divine wrath. When they see London breaking up in smoke and fire they will live through a thousand lives of immeasurable joy which all at home must envy. At last the long-ye*rned-for punishment will fall on England and its people." + Carelessness in Firing Clearings. Prosecutions of settlers for care- lessness in farm clearing and setting fire to adjacent forests have been undertaken with great vigor through- out Quebec Province. No less than seventeen such prosecutions have been , ordered by the St Maurice Valley Forest Protective .'Vss6ciation alone. One was brought to trial at Three Rivers on .\ugust 20, and the settler was forced to pay a fine of $10 and costs of more than than |90. The charge was setting out fires without a permit, such as is required by law. Other cases awaiting trial have to do with deliberate firing of the forests, done in some cases to provide work as fire fighters. The Quebec Govern- ment, aided by the lumbermen's pro- tective associations and others, have determined to stamp out the enormous waste of forest from these causes, and magistrates have supported the fire rangers and inspectors to the full extent of the law. ITALIANS TO AHACK ASIA . ;*^,. MINOR AND SYRIAN jrtBl Two More Hours of Darknes5 and Turks Would Have Been Cut Off on Gallipoli A despatch from Paris says: The Official Journal publishes the declara- ' tion of a blockade of the coasts of ' .A.sia Minor and Syria from the island of Samos to the Egyptian frontier, to date from August 25.
