BRITISH FACE STRONG DEFENSE AT GALLIPOLI 2 ’gt%_oa 7 Purpose is to Play Pa. ~S°eiety stantinople Campaign—We.. tified in Every Respect. ~Con-| WILL HOLD TURKS IN CHECK Victory Will Go Down in History as| One of the World’s Greatest Military Accomplishments, "By J.'W. T. MASON. New York, April 29.—The allied army which ‘has landed on the Galli- poli peninsula to play a part in the new Constantinople campaign, is fac- of the earth’s surface. The long nar- row neck of land between the Aegean and the Dardanelles offers little room for maneuvers by an attacking force, in constant danger of being forced toward the bordering waters. Forts, batteries and trenches cover a large part of the peninsula, while for- tunately situated hills add to the strength of the defense. If the Anglo-French army were to} subdue Gallipoli, the feat would do down in history as one of the great- est military accomplishments of all time. ' It is impossible, in fact, that this is the primary object of Sir Ian Hamilton’s command. Rather, the Allies’ strategy probably has as its objective the separation of the Turk- ish armies protecting Constantinople, and the Gallipoli operations are be- ing directed primarily for this pur- pose.

Shepherd, United Press staff correspondent, is the only American represent- ing an individual news agency, now at the front with the Brit- ish army. The fifth story will appear tomorrow. By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD (Copyright, 1915, by. United Press) (Copyrighted in Great Britian) With the British army in Northern France ,April 17.—(By mail to New York.)—Spring has come! The com- plexion of war is changing. The fly- ing men come’'down with the news that every day the grass is getting greener in the ‘‘no mans” land” be- tween the trenches; no one dares to go out there to-tramp it down. Trees that were landmarks with the bare branches in the winter time are changing shape as their buds be- come leaves and the officers find themselves daily becoming more and more strangers to the landscape.

Unploughed fields are rarely seen, Ploughing and planting is going on (Continued on last page). COLONEL ROOSEVELT FINISHES TESTIMONY IN BARNES CASE (United Press) Syracuse, N.
