Reported That 20,000 British and French Have Been Landed Near Enos, In Europe.

j£ NEW ASSAULT ON STRAITS EXPECTED AT EARLY DATE

A »T

Great Activity Shown Among English Forces on Island of Lemnos, With Transports Arriving Daily.

A land and sea attack on the Dardanelles on a larger scale than at any time since the allies began their effort to win Constantinople apparently is imminent.. Berlin reports that 20,000 British and Frenoh troops have be«n landed on the north shore of the Gulf of Saros, European Turkey, indicating that land operations are under way. This force presumably will be employed for an attack on the rear of Turkish fortifications at the same time that a bombardment from the sea is undertaken by the allied fleet. Additional British troops are arriving daily from Egypt on transports at the island of Lemnos, west of the entrance to the Dardanelles.

No heavy fighting has taken place since the attempt to force the straits a month ago, in which two British and one French battleship were lost. An official statement from Constantinople says that six torpedo boats attempted to penetrate the straits on Monday night and yesterday there was an engagement between warships and Turkish fortifications, presumably in connection with the landing of troops.

BERLIN (via wireless to Sayville), April 21.—The Tages Zeitung today publishes a special dispatch, the origin of which, however, is not given, saying that 20,000 British and French troops have been landed near Enos in European Turkey, on the north side of the Gulf of Saros. A heavy cannonading took place between the Turkish batteries around Enos and the warships of the allies.

A dispatch received in Berlin from Athens says great activity has been noted among the British forces on the island of Lemnos, which lies to the west of the entrance to the Dardanelles. Troop transports are arriving daily at Lemnos from Alexandria, Egypt the censorship is more rigid and all indications point to strong action against the Dardaneles at an early date.

A dispatch received in London yesterday from Dedagatch, Bulgaria, a short distance to the west of Bnos, said a violent cannonading occurred on the Gulf of Saros Sunday evening. The firing was so heavy that buildings at Dedagatch were shaken.

BATTLE AT STANDSTILL.

Little Headway Made In West By Either Belligerent. LONDON, April 21.—Dispatches reaching London from the French front show considerable military activity, with the artillery taking a •f' ^prominent part in the attacks made

one side or the other. There is little evidence, however, that either side has gained but whatever small hfi advantage has been reaped seems to j||l rest with the Germans between the

Meuse and the Lorraine frontier. The French have made a slight adjf|i vance at Flirry but their report sugb~,' gests that the gain was not propor5,"" tionate to the effort put forth. Berlin -Vi. claims several minor successes, one being the recapture of a small village

Another attack in the Pont-a-

J"? Mousson district appears to have made an advance. The English newspapers today are devoting columns to comment on the optimistic speech delivered at Newcastle last night by Premier Asquith. The utterances of the prime minister are in substance the putting into effect of a sort of industrial conscription by which employers shall forego some of their profits, the trade unions agree to sus-

DANGEROUS DEBILITY

Debility may result from a number of causes—worry, after-effects of acute illness, lack of nourishment due to disordered digestion, or anything that .maRes the blood thin, thereby presenting it from carrying health and nourishment to the tissues of the body.

The symptoms of debility vary but weakness is always present, often a tendency to fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, black spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wakefulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep.

Debility is dangerous because it weakens the body's defense against disease. For instance, debilitated people take cold easily and winter is always a trying time for them. When one cold follows another the system surely needs building up.

The treatment of such run-down conditions with Dr. Williams' Pink 'Pills is based on sound medical principles and common sense. The®e pills build up the blood so that it nourishes every part of the body, nerves as well as muscles and brings vigor, strength and health.

Bell and was a relative of the late Sheldon and the late O. D. Bell, whose graves are in the same lot.

IMPEACHMENT PLAN NOT OFF, SAYS SKEAN

Continued From Page One.

Wednesday evening for the purpose of issuing warrants for the presence of witnesses in the impeachment of Mayor Donn M. Roberts, which,-will be called at 10 o'clock Friday morning. The law provides that the council meet in session to take this action. City Clerk George A. Moorhead issued the call for the meeting Wednesday morning.

President Harry Skean of the council stated Wednesday morning that nothing except action in regard to the impeachment proceedings will come before the aldermen Wednesday night, but that all plans for the trial as far as the council's part is concerned will be completed at that time.

There were rumors Wednesday morning to the effect that the entire impeachment action had been called off, hut President Skean branded this report as false. He said that there could be nothing to the report, as he knew the sentiments of the members of the council in regard to the matter.

People about the city hall Wednesday morning seemed inclined to believe that Mayor Roberts will be here when the trial is called, but none could give any substantial reason why he thought so.

Parade Moves Promptly.

The parade moved promptly at 2 o'clock from Eighth and Ohio streets, with Grand Marshal Walter Himmelbauer in charge. A motorcycle delegation aoted as escort to the high mogul, who was followed by President Webb Beggs, Manager "Lefty" Gilbert and Harry Cliff in the "Blue Goose." The Ford section came next, followed by the motor truck department. The Apple club and Rotary club members occupied trucks, while ESd Sparks. Rotarian leader, could be seen with Walter Evans in the latter's motorcycle side car. Art Steumpfle, Apple club guardian, mingles with his fellow members.

The Ringgold band was next in line, being conveyed in a big auto truck. Employes of the Terre Haute Malleable & Manufacturing company, numbering 225, were next with employes of the Model Ice Cream company following in the big Model truck. The students and faculty of Brown's Business college occupied trucks, while City league club members occupied several autos.

The players had a conspicuous place in the procession, riding in autos donated by the faithful fans. A motorcycle delegation brought up just ahead of a Jitney turnout and was composed of Harley-Davidsons, Excelsiors and Indians.

The parade moved rapidly and the line of march was traversed without mishap to the railroad crossing where the procession broke up in a scramble to be first to reach the battle field. The usual warming up stunts kept the fans on edge and the umpire's cry of "Play Ball" was greeted with a tremendous cheer.

Both managers were confident of the result and their sayso "just before the fray" had the proper ring. Here's how: "Lefty" Gilbert—"We are ready for the bell and once the game is on we will be out there battling every inch of the way. I am satisfied with my team and expect to give the fans what they have long longed for—a pennant contender."

Bade Myers—"While I know only too well that Gilbert has a mighty strong team banded together, I expect to have my Cubs on top of the heap after today's game. I hate to disappoint the Terre Haute fans by defeating their favorites, but It's got to be done."
