HEAVY LOSSES REPORTED
Some Sensational Happenings. Turk
ish Troop Ship Is Sunk and Big
Warship Set on Fire.
Indon. After eriou3 fighting In
which the Turks offered a stubborn
resistance, British troops, according
to an official statement Issued have
established themselves on the Galll
poli Peninsula and advanced a con
siderable distance toward the Nar
rows of the Dardanelles, while the
French have cleared Cap? Kum Kaleh
on the Asiatic side of the Straits,
of Turks.
Thus, it may be said, that the sec
ond and most serious attempt to force
the Dardanelles has been fairly
launched. The Turks under German
officers placed every obstacle in the
way of the Invaders but against the
fire of the Allied fleet and the gal
lantry of the army they were forced
to fall back. The Er't;h forces lost
heavily in the operation.
Six points were selected for the
landings, which began at daylight of
April 25. At five points they were
successful immediately tut at the
sixth near Seddul Bahr the troops
were unable to advance until the
evening. The Australians and New
Zealanders landed on the west coast
of the Gallipoli Peninsula, directly
across the country from the strongly
fortified Narrows. The other British
troops disembarked at the extreme
end of the peninsula and by the
twenty-eighth wfeen It was decided to
give the men a rest and time to en
able the positions to be consolidated,
they had reached Krithia, on the
road which runs along the peninsula
and over which they will join their
comrades from the dominions.
The French took possession of Cape
Kum Kaleh after they had previous
ly attacked toward Yeni Shehr to the
south on the Asia-Minor coast.
While this was proceeding the
fleet, besides covering the landing of
the troops kept up a bombardment of
the forts in the Dardanelles and pre
vented reinforcements from reaching
furkey from tlie Sea of Marmora.
One Turkish troop bip was sunk by
t?ie Queen Elizabeth which is be
lieved again to have ftred her big guns
across the peninsukv directed by air
men. The troop ship was sunk off
Maldos a town well Inside the Nar
rows, which later te battleship Tri
umph bombarded and set on fire.

CAPTAIN DIES OF HEART FAIL
URE AS A RESULT OF THE
SHOCK.
FEW OF THE DETAILS KNOWN
Gulflight is Struck Off Scilly Islands.
Washington Believes It Was
Accident.
London. The American oil tank
steamer Gulflight which sailed from
Port Arthur, Texas, April 10, for
Roufi, France, was torpedoed off the
Sicily Islands, according to a Central
News dispatch.
The captain of the Gulflight, accord
ing to the same advices, died of heart
failure as a result of shock. Two sea
men jumped- overboard and wera
drowned.
The other members of the crew
were taken off by a patrol boat. The
vessel wa3 towed into Crow Sound
and beached.
The Gulflight was a steel vessel of
3,202 tons net and was built at Cam
den, N. J., in 1914. She was owned
by the Gulf Refining Company. The
vessel was 383 feet long, 51 feet beam
and 20 feet deep. She was aquipped
with wireless apparatus.
Washington. Press reports of the
torpedoing of the American steamer
Gulflight and the loss of her captain
and some members of the crew creat
ed a stir in official circles here.
The course of the Unite-d States In
the case of the Gulflight is not likely
to bo determined for several days as
some time probably wll be required
to get the facts. The possibility cf
any action other than a demand for
damages Is considered remote because
of the belief of officials that the at
tack on the Gulflight probably will be
found to have been accidental.
FIRST PLACE IN FINANCE.

great wars- He declared the nation
now was in a commanding position as
the only great world power not in-
vol'-a-d in war, and pointed to the big
trade balance that has been in favor
of the United States. This balance he
predicted might reach i.CO.OOO.CO1?
