HEM mm m THE DARDANELLES I A despatch from Alexandria says: The British and French line on the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Aegean to the Dardaneiies is confronted by rising ground that culminates in the centre with a flat summit, Aehi Babs, 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 , !__.«‘n 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 asâ€" 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 on the left stormed and‘ captured 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. 0n the right, however, the first division, after reaching its objective, had been counter-attacked so effectively that they had fallen back. Again they adâ€" vanced, again they took the trenches and again they were driven out. It MASS AWACKS END IN FAILURE 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 Abiain to Angres, where the Germans moved forward in their favorite close formation, only to be me“ ed down by the French machine gun fire and forced to retire after suffering heavy 1055025. raphic Account of Allies"Victory Peninsula.

In the fighting the French repulsed two German attacks in the region about Metzeral, in Alsace, and main- tained all their pasitions in the Ar- gonne, where the fighting was ex- ceedingly fierce, the Germans claim- ing to have taken 2,556 prisoners in this region. -.._ _,°,, The allied entrenchments in Flanâ€"‘ ders, especially in the region of Neu- ville, Ecurie and Roclincourt, Were subjected to a heavy bombardment by the German guns on Saturday.

There were still five hours of day- light for this battle of the longest day of the year. British guns and howitzer-s 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 i600 yards of Turkish trenches were taken, and still the bombardment cvontinued in order to ward off thc‘ 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 l-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. J. P.

A despatch from New York says: Frank Holt, a crack-brained teacher of German in Cornell University, obâ€" sessed by the idea that God had apâ€" pointed him to stop the shipment of war supplies to the allies, tried to murder J. P. Morgan Saturday morn4 ing after attempting on Friday night to wreck the Capitol at Washington with a dynamite bomb. The New York and Washington police have inâ€" formation which leads them to believe that he planned next to go to Cornish, N.H., and attempt the life of Presi- dent Wilson. vol“- rw-.. - W 1 The financier, who, as head of the banking house which is the purchase ling agent of the British Government, had become an object for Holt’s atâ€" tack, is dangerously but probably not fatally wounded. This was the opinâ€" ion, at least, of several of his partâ€" ners and of his friends who had heard the report of the surgeons who exâ€" ‘amined his injuries and who probed successfully for the bullet which enâ€" ltered the abdomen. He owes his life very likely to the courage and quickâ€" 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.
