FRENCH CAPTURE TURK STRONGHOLD Enos Occupied and Moslems Driven to Interior. FORT ON DARDANELLES YIELDS British Forces on Gallipoli Peninsula Are Assaulting Sidd El Behr, Another Stronghold—Turk" Resistance Futile—Allies May Have 200,000 Men—Other Points Taken. London, April 28—Troops have been landed on both sides of the entrance to the Dardanelles in the face of , a fierce but futile resistance by the Turks and the general attack by land, sea and from the air is well under way. The French forces-have been assigned to the Adriatic and the British to the European side which is jthe i Gallipoli peninsula. An unconfirmed report fropaFAthens says that the allies have occupied Enos and driven the Turks into the interior. The inhabitants, according to this information, were ordered to leave within twenty-four hours. This was on Sunday, the day when the admiralty says tiie landing of troops was commenced. Land Amid Hail of Shells. The landing was made under most trying circumstances by both armies. At Kum Kaleh, a town at the very tip of the land which forms the straits, the French warships drew up and began a heavy bombardment of the nearby forts while the transports lying out in the Aegean were emptied of their troops under the protection cf the naval bombardment. The Turkish fortifications responded, however, ■with all of the fury of which they are capable. On the side of the Gallipoli peninsula the circumstances surrounding the landing were much the same. The British troopss had picked Sidd El Behr, a town exactly opposite Kum Kaleh, as their objective ; and were protected so far as possible from the time they left their transports by the fire from English warships. French Occupy Kum Kaleh. Kum Kaleh was speedily taken and occupied by the French forces despite the heavy artillery fire directed against them. But whether or not the British landing party succeeded In taking Sidd El Behr is not known, the admiralty so far having maue no at nouncement outside of the fact that troops were landed on both sides of the straits. The advance troops consisted of infantry supported by light artillery. There was severe foot fighting on both sides. The French forces took 500 prisoners. The Turks, according to an official statement from Constantinople, made 200 prisoners, including both English and Australian troops, and succeeded, so. they say, in pressing the enemy upon the shore. Think Other Points Taken. While there is no official information to indicate that forces were landed at points other Sidd El Behr and Kum Kaleh. dispatches from SaIcnica report that transports are at anchor along the Gallipoli shore on the gulf of Saros and are sending their men gshore hs quickly as possible at a various number of places. The number of men constituting the allied armies is being carefully guarded. Most estimates, however, place the probable combined strength of the French and British at 200,000. Turks Confirm Allies*) Landing. London, April 28. —Aij official announcement from the w£r department at Constantinople says that “the enemy attempted to land troops at four points” at the Dardanelles.

LONDON — The landing of a large force of British troops on Gallipoli peninsula, the western shore of the Dardanelles, and the resumption of the fleet’s attack an the Turkish forts, as announced by the war office, indicates that the allies after a month of lethargy are about to begin the final smash to force the straits. The landing of an army on the peninsula confirms the belief expressed by military critics that th« British war office realizes that the Dardanelles cannot be forced until the peninsula of Gallipoli is wrested from the hands of the Turks. It is understood here that the army landed is under command of General Sir lan Hamilton, and it is believed to number between 100,000 and 200,000 men. 4 The war office announcement is said to prove that a large part of Kitchener’s new afmy, which was supposed to have been sent to France, has been dispatched to the Dardanelles.

For the use of these armored trains the Germans have, consolidated, and strengthened the system of light railways, uniting a number of small towns in the neighborhood of Ypres, tc which they have added strategical branch lines. “The thirty French gunk which the Germans claim to have captured north of Ypi%s are not in German bands, although the Frenc hwere forced to abandon them.

DANIELS REPLIES TO NAVY CRITICS Secretary Compares Work with That of His Predecessor. POINTS OUT NUMEROUS GAINS S h ows That More Ships Are Building Than at Any Other yime—Munitions Increase in Greater Proportion. Facilities for Turning Out Supplies Much Enlarged. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary of the Navy Daniels made public a long review of his two years’ administration of the navy department, defending the navy from the charges that it is not properly prepared for war. The secretary’s statement is in the form of letter to Henry J. Garfield, president of Williams College, who wrote to Mr. Daniels that he wished to be in a position to meet statements of Representative Gardner, that the U. S. is not at present prepared for military emergencies.” Secretary Daniels eagerly took tills opportunity to play to tfie- critics. Mr. Daniels declares that the last two years have been “epoch making in he navy, distinguished by more wise and progressive naval legislation than any previous like period, thanks chiefly to a patriotic congress.” Os his critics the secretary says: “Certain persons, ignorant of their ignorance and for selfish partisan reasons, have busied themselves with misrepseniing the true condition of the navy thereby causing some good people to fear that the navy is not ’now as in the past the strong effective arm of the republic.” Compares Work With Predecessors, Mr. Daniels compares what has been done in his administration with that v-liich was done in th e last two years of Mr. Meyers’ term under the Tuft administration l c says: “There are now in, active service fully comnuniss’cned 225 vesels of all characters, which s 36 more than were fully comm’sslt tied when I began as secretary There are also 101 vessels of various types in reserve and in ordinary and under commission, capable of rendering service in war. We have under construction and authorized 77 vessels, 9 dreadnaughts. 23 destroyers, 38 submarines and 7 aviatories as compared with 54 vessels, 5 dread naughts, 14 destroyers, 23 submarines, three gunboats and 9 auxiliaries which were under construction on March 1, 1913. “All vessels enumerated are supplied with munitions of war.. It may he said, however, that within the last two years the quantity of all has been steadily and greatly increased. For example we have increased the number of mines,jMuJ|and and in process of manufacture by 244 per cent." “By the enlargement of naval power factory we 5 shall soon be able almost to double its former capacity and like enlargement of the torpedo works and the equipment of a plant to construct mines will still further im crease, at decreased cost, the quantity of such stock, 8 ad the possession of these plants in times of emregency will enable the department to be in a state of preparedness as regards the supply of ammunition.” ROBERTS OUSTED AS MAYOR Terre Haute Executive is Impeached By City Council.
