Wounded in Five Days & BRITISH IN HAND TO ~HAND FIGHTING Fierce Engagements On Gallipoli Peninsula—Turkish War : _Minister Directed His Troops—Constantinople Says British Lost 10,000 Men at Seddul Bahr—Germans Took 1,000 French Prisoners at Le Pretre Forest— Forced French to Leave Their Trenches — Russians Have Lost 20,000 Men in Last Few Days. ' The campaign in the Dardanelles has | again been brought to the foretront by lan offi report from General Sir Ian | Hamilton, commanding the British forces, which tells of desperate fight- ing on the Gallipoll peninsula.. During a period covering five days from June 28 to July 2, five thousand, one hun- dred and fifty Turkish soldiers were, killed, 15,000 woundeéd, according to General Hamilton’s estimates, which he declares were checked and counter- checked from various reports of the officers reaching his hands. In the series of flerce engagements the allied troops were splendidly sup- ported by the British destroyer Scor- pion, which cut down' masses of the ‘Turks with its accurate fire. On occa- sions the British were obliged to yield ground, but the positions were retaken in hand-to-hand encounters with bay- onet and bomb, 3 General Hamilton reports that the ‘Turkish war minister, Envir Pasha, was in the Turkish “trenches on June 29 and that it was by his direct order that the three Turkish.battalions en- €aged undertook such an extensive of- fensive, which resulted disastrously. It is unofficially reported from Con- stantinople by way of Berlin that the British themselves lost 10,000 men during the last twelve days fighting eround Seddul Bahr, the climax of the carnage being reached on the morning of July 1. In the eastern war.zone the strong- est Russian opposition to the Austro- German advance is being offered be- tween the Pruth and Dniester river, At other points along the eastern front the progress of the Austro-Germans continues, and they are ‘reported to have reached the Russian line on the Ziot Lip river in Galicia. ‘While comparative calm has regn- ed, during- the past 24 hours in the western theatre, the Germans report a very considerable success on the previous day on the west border of Le Pretre forest, where the French were compelled to evacuate 'a number of trenches, 1,600 unwounded French sol- diers being taken prisonmers. On the Moselle a French blockhouse with the men occupying it, was blown up in a German attack. . SWISS-GERMAN "FRONTIER IS CLOSED. ' German Troops S: Agai [ London, July Citizens of Swit- zerland who have been trying to re- turn home across the border of the Swiss-German frontier report that the frontier has been closed. They as- sert that this is the result of .the massing of German troops preparatory to an effort to drive the French from Alsace, and is part of a plan to clear German and Austrian territory from the invaders. %he expected opposition to the Brit- ish national register ration 'bill' has elicited the statement from Premier Asquith that the gevernment does not contemplate the introduction of forced labor or conscription. Not in years has the American In- dependence day been less ~observed here. The time-honored dinner of the American soclety was not given and there was only an informal reception held by Waiter Hines Page. ‘The shops and hotels, usually gay with American flags flew the allied flags or none, London is keenly interested in one feature of American affairs, however, for the papers have devoted as much space to the shooting and wounding of J. P. Morgan, head of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Company, commercial agents of the British government, as they did to the resignation of William Jennings Bryan, as secretary of state. IN GRATITUDE' FOR : AID TO THE STARVING Belglans In Holland Celebrated Amer- - ica’s National Holiday.

The camp was decorated with Amer- ican, Dutch and Belgian flags. TURKS TO BE SHOT FOR LEAVING TRENCHES. 8hown in Captured Divisional Orders at the Dardaneiles. London, July 5, 10.15 p. m—In a:re- port from General Sir Ian Hamilton, covering the recent operations in. the Dardanelles, he quotes the following from divisional orders captured from the -Turks: . ““There is nothing that causes us more orrow, increases the : of the ene: and encourages to at- tack m froely, causing losses; the bad spell which he experienced this ‘morning.” 3 30, o= our men by those who escape from the trenches to avoid the rifle and machine gun fire of the enemy.

(Signed) “COLONEL RIFAAT, “Commander of the Eleventh Division.” Gen. Hamilton's repo-t says; “Prisoners - brought in stafe that three fresh battalions were employed in the main attack, which was made by personal order of Enver Pasha (the Turkish war minister, who defin- itely asserted was present in the trenches on June:29.) This is con- firmed by the statement of an intelli- gent Armenian prisoner captured on that date. According to him, stringent orders were recently issued that no further attacks were to be made, be- cause if the Turks remained on the defensive the British would be force@ to attack and would suffer severely, as the Turks hitherto had suffered, but Enver Pasha, when he arrived in the northern section, overrode the instruc- tion and orders were received by the prisonet’s regiment that the Austral- iang were to be driven into the sea. “On July 2, after a heavy bombard- ment of our advanced positions by high explogives and shrapnel lasting half an holir, the enemy infantry ad- vaneed, but were driven back to the main nullah, about a mile from our frorit, byt the accurate shooting of the Scorpion and by Zur rifle and machine gun fire. “About 7 p m. the Turkish artillery recommended their bombardment un- der cover of which two battalions emerged from the nullah to the north- east of our advanced trench and com- mencce+n attack across the open, ad- vancing_in. two regular lines. “The Turkish officers could be seen endeavoring to get their men forward, but they would not face the fire and retreated in disorder after suffering heavy casualities.

J. P, MORGAN I8 OUT OF ALL DANGER. In State of Collapse. Glen ~Cove, N, Y., July 5—Frank Holt, the university professor, who shot J. P. Morgan declared today that when he is arraigned on Wednesday he will tell the whole story of his life, particularly his recent movements which led to the placing of the bomb in the United States capitol and the attempted assassination of Mr. Mor- gan. Dr. Guy Cleghorn, the jail physician, said, however, that Holt is in such a Weakened condition that unless he shows decided improvement by Wed- nesday he may report it is inadvisable to remove him from the jail at Min- eola to the court house here. Mr. Morgan who wa shot twice b, Holt, last Saturday in the financier'’s home near here continued to improve today, so much so, that specialists in attendance announced that he was out of all danger.

Wood, assistant district ttorney of Nassau County, who said bhe was in the German department at Harvard in 1905-06, in the same class with Muuenter visited Holt today and then said that he was unable to identi- fy the prisoner as his classmate, but said he would see him again when the glnda.ges were removed from his ead.
