A sever? arraignment of the Illinois police pension1, law is also contained in a report. lVniftn l'aw is Had. '"The purpose of the pennon law is admirable," says tim report, "but the law itself is an exjunple of very bad legislation. In the. first place it does more than retire worthy veterans who have passed the poriod of their usefulness and provide for those Injured or the widows and children of those killed on lutv. It permits any man who has served 20 years on the force, to retire on a life annuity of not less thin $600. Suppose a man enters the pel-vice at 21 years of age. At 4 1 years of age. right in the prime of life, he may retire and thus nearly 20 years of service will tp lost to the city while he is perfectly competent to support himself and family retires and receives a pensimi from the public.

Printing Point Does Not Bot Up and D own

In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter the point on the paper which is to receive the type impression is stationary at the instant the type hits. The carriage does not bob up and down when the shift is made to write capitals. Why? Because the type is shifted not the carriage. The only movement of the carriage is back and forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways and this does not take place while the print is being made. There is no lifting of the carriage. This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, typewriting is free from blurs and every letter in the right place.

ers. the Plymouth marine battalions and the royal naval division succeeded in establishing themselves on the

heights west of Krithia. loiter in the 'Faults upon the British line. The day (of April 23) a large force of British repeatedly counter-charged Turks was seen advancing upon the with the bayonet and always drove off

the enemy for the moment, but the Turks were vastly superior numerically. "Fresh troops took the place of those who from time to time fell back temporarily and by 7 a. m. of the 26th only half of the Scottish borderers remained. The landing at Tekkeburnu was made . by the First Royal Fusilllers, who were towed ashore from the 11. M. S. Implacable together with a beach working party about 6 a. m. H. M. S. Implacable, with great boldness, stood close to the beach, firing rapidly every gun she could bring to bear. Thus seconded, the fusilllers made a good landing with little loss. "The battalion advanced to the attack of the Turkish trenches on Hill No. 114, but were heavily counter-attacked and were forced to give ground. Two moro battalions followed them and by evening the troops had established themselves in an entrenched position. Losses Arc Heavy. The collier River Clyde vas run ashore landing on.lho beach immediately west of Sedd-el-Bahr. Up to the last moment jt appeared that this landing was unopposed, but the moment the first boat touched bottom, the ttorm broke and a tornado of tire swept over the beach, the incoming boats and the collier. The fusilliers and the naval boat crews suffered extremely heavy losses while in the boats. Those who succeeded in landing crossed a strip of sand and managed to gain some cover. None of the boats was able to ct off again. They and their crews were destroyed upon the beach. "A company of Minister fusilliers led the way, but few reached the farther side of tho beach through the hail of bullets which poured from both flanks and the front. "As the second company followed on an extemporize pier, the lighters gave way in the current and the end nearest the shore drifted into deep water. Many of those who escaped from the lighters were drowned by the weight of their equipment, i Third Company luuls. "The lighters were again brought into position and a third company of Munster fusilliers were rushed ashore suffering extremely heavy losses from shrapnel, rillo. pom-pom and machine gun fire. "The situation probably was saved by the machine guns on the River Clyde keeping down the enemy's lire. "It is my firm conviction that no finer feat of arms was over achieved by British soldiers than the storming of the Turks' trenches from open boats on the beach immediately south of Tekke-burnu. As soon as the first boat touched the ground, a hurricane of lead swept over the battal'on of fusilllers. who literally hurled themselves ashore. "Fired at from right and left, the center commenced hacking its way through the wire entanglements. The long side of men was at once mown down as by a scythe, but the remainder were not to be denied. "Nerved by the fire of the warships, they broke through the entanglements and collected under the cliffs on either side of the beach. Here the companies were rapidly reformed and .ont forth to storm the enemy's entrenchments. Mines, .rv Kvphxlctl. "Several land mines were exploded by the Turks during the advance, but the determination of our troops was in no way affected.

later a junction was effected with the troops who landed on the beach and those from the Implacable. "The Australians landed to the north of Kaba Tepe, approaching the land in silence In the darkness. They were close to shore before the enemy stirred. Then about a battalion of Turks was ?een running along: the beach to intercept the lines of boats. At so critical a moment, the conduct of those of all ranks was most praiseworthy. Not a word wns spoken. Everyone was quiet, awaiting the enemy's fire, which opened, causing manv casualties. Turks rirv. "The moment the boats touched land the Australians' turn came. Like lightning they leaped ashore and each man went straight as a bayonet for the enemy, h'o vigorous was the onslaught that the Turks made no attempt to stand, but lied from the ridge, pursued by the Australian infantry. "From 11 a. m. to p. m.. the enemy, reinforced to 20.0CK). attacked our whole line. This counter-attack waa handsomely repulsed with the help of his majesty's ships between 5 and 5:30 p. m.
