Across the valley" running inland from the bay, the opposing guns were at work The ships, too, were busy, and the searchlights' wandering glare could be seen picking out targets for the great guns to batter to pieces "So continuous and heavy was the fighting, at times one could discern the outline of the valley across which the two land forces were con tending. Shrapnel, top, was bursting in the night sky, and often the whole valley seemed to be transformed into a river of fire. "During Monday, as 1 learned la- ter, the Turkish position ran roughly from the crest above Maidos to that above Boghali, our forces being along the seashore and occupying the re- glon which is mapped off at Hazmak Valley. Our left had been thrown, along the northérn and commanding ridge toward Boghalli, and the ene- my's left advanced westward along the southern ridge in an endeavof to drive us back and cut our forces off. The warships met the advance with shrapnel,.while .the. land forces on the opposite ridge rained down a hail of deadly shells upon them. It was generally these operations outlined inthe flashes of flame which 1 -wit- nessed from the bay during the hours of darkness between Monday and Tuesday. 27 A Modern Artillery Duel. "For almost the whole might the fire was kept up, and from an excel- lent point of vantage on Tuesday morning 1 saw an artillery due in modera style going on. Puffs of smoke, evidently from our guns, in- | dicated that we had held and extend- | ed our position along the northern . ridge. Here and. there at intervals the Turks would reply feebly from farther inland and from the southern ridge, but the latter position had now become extremely dangerous be- cause it wag commanded by the ships out at sea and the valley end. and by the land forces on the heights op- posite, "This artidery duel continued in termittently for the greater part of the day, the Queen Elizabeth--or it may have been a sister ship--joining in, and at the same time, engaging in indirect fire on the enemy's posi- tions on the southern ridge. Late in the afternoon the Turks made an- other attack, but no advance could be noted on their part. "During this time the ships away at the entrance of the Dardanelles were very active bombarding the Nirrows, and, judging by the smoke I could see rising beyond the penin- sula, a good deal of work was going on inside the Straits. "Soon after five o'clock 1 witness- | ed anpther extraordinary artillery duel. A heavy raincloud swept down suddenly from the north, enveloping | the whole region in a dense mist. Un-~ | der cover of this the Turks ran their | guns along the southérn ridge and suddenly opened a heavy fire across the valley. They were promptly ans- wered by a fire of our guns, which a profited by the darkness to| change their position. 0 Turk Fire Ineffective. Turkish fire, therefore, was effective. Owing to the fact and because the obsturity had pre- vented any observation from being | taken, the ships off shore had per- | force' to remain inactive, and the duel' had been fought*out by land batteries alone. Vivid flashes of flame lit up both sides of the valley, shrapnel bursting everywhere. For | twenty minutes this duel in mist and | darkness continued with the utmost ferocity, and by the end of that time the enemy's fire had slackened and the southern ridge had been searched by our guas with blazing shrapnel. "The Turkish- object was evident. Our transports had been moved north to that part of the coast, and the | enemy evidently had the double in- tention of driving us back to the | shore and of preventing the landing of supplies under cover of night. '"Again, throughowt the next night | the ships' batteries and the land guns | were 'busy, and daylight, when it | came, seemed to indicate that our | forces were masters of all the ridges. "Wednesday the point of interest wag the southern portiun of the pen- insula Forces had evidently been landed in Morto Bay, between the headlands of Sedd-el-Bahr and Es- | ki-Hisarlik, and also north of Cape Teke., This (Wednesday) forenoon [they seemed to be occupying a line astride two roads leading to the lit- tle town of Krithia, and about a niile and a half from the extreme point | of the peninsula. "About midday our guns could be seen advancing and the Turks reply- ing from their position, rather more | than a mile from the town¢*which {the guns from the fleet had set on fire earlier in the day. "Furt'yr up the peninsula, but more to the east, Is Achi-Baba, or | Tree Peak, 730 feet high. This {height dominates the region. and, obviously, is the chief obstacle to our advance, "The 10f very A Fascinating Spectacle. "A thick cloud of dust marked the Turks" retreat along the coast road, and when they reached the position just mentioned the artillery duel could be easily followed. Most of the movements of the batteries on both sides were quite visible, and the fascination of the spectacle was in- creased by the heavy shrapnel fire o the Queen Elizabeth, whose shell burst well over the enemy's lines and in front of the advancing guns. i "By one o'clock it could be seen | that our forces had established right across the peninsula on a line a mile south of Krithia, Matters remained comparatively qulet until about 3 o'clock, when the flashing and smok- ing of the guns indicated a further slight advance on Krithia, which was | still burning furiously. "A little more than an hour later | there seemed to be indications of a PEPIERPPTRPTSPIE FESR | Turkish retreat behind the burning There was no evidence, how. ever, that the Turks' position had been wholly abandoned. The ships were now actively bombarding, and about five o'clock the enemy's line appeared to be only three-quarters of a mile Trom Krithia. Up-to that time our advance must have beeu mile and a half, "Such was the position when dark- ness fell. In the afternoon there had been some sudden activity from the northern position. From what I could see | believe we have made town. {continued good progress in throwing a force across the peninsula at that point with the object of commanding the Narrows from the hill above. Heavy firing was noticeable, but no definite result could be observed. "Late in the afternoon a cruiser and a destroyed steamed north. into Sulva Bay, Boats ¢ould be seen mak ing for the shore, and then the ships, with others stationed there, opened fire on what appeared to be a strong | column of the enemy that seemed to be neither retreating nor advancing, but was most likely coming south as reinforcements The fighting was | soon over, and it appeared to have achieved its object. "That part of the Peninsula is | easily commanded by the fleet's guns, which keep the northern landing force free from attack in that direc- tion. To-night it appears certain that the firm footing which our two landing forces have secured has giv en us practically. command of the exireme point and also at the west ern side of the Peninsula; and that their operations may at any moment ! have di important eect on the at | tack as a. whole." WAR BULLETINS. Japan on Thursday night sent an ultimatum to China demanding a satisfactory reply to its demands by Sunday or Japan will use force. A decisive reply from Aus tria expected at Rome Friday. All Germans and Austrians have left Rome for home. The Russian War Office an- nounces that Turkish troops, defeated in Caucasus, are re. treating slowly. Vienna and Berlin despaighes claim the Russians are being pressed back all along the line. Pp JANJURIES TO SOLDIERS. Accidents Responsible Fof Disability Of Many Men. London, May 7.--That bullets and shrapnel are not the only physical dangers arising from life in the trenches is shown by the fact that many of the men invalided-home are suffering from hernia and other forms ol muscular strain. At the Mount Vernon Military Hospital, Hampstead, a correspondent found some Canadians suffering in this way. Corp. F. C. Hijton, F Com- pany, 4th Battalion, Hamilton, and Pte. Herbert Harper, Toronto, of the same battalion, were with a party conveying provisions to the trenches when machine guns were turned on them. A bullet hit the cart at one time, and they were obliged to take shelter. In doing =o they both re- ceived internal injuries, Harper fall- ing into a deep "Jack Johnson" hole near the road. sn sitssstnssanctn ---- About 60,000,000 salmon are cauglit yearly in the waters of Alaska.

Amsterdam, via London, May 7.-- The German papers are beginning to display anxiety regarding Italy's at- titude The Vossische Zeitung, the Lokal Anzeiger and the Tageblatt all emphazize the fact that negotiations between Italy and Austria-Hungary have net yet been definitely broken, and that therefore there is still justi- fiable hope of a satisfactory solution. They admit that the situation is ser- lous, however, but at the same, time insist that Italian intervention on the side of Germany's enemies would make no difference to German deter- mination or confidence in the final result.
