U {| Graphic Account of Allies‘ Victory on the Gallipoli Peninsula. 'â€"A-despceeh from Alexandria says: The British and French line on the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Aegean to the Dardanelles is confronted by rising ground that culminates in the A FIERCE LEADEN STORM HELD HARICOT centre with a flat summit, Achi Baba, 800 feet high. On either side the vines and dry water courses called ground falls away to the sea in raâ€" Deres, which the Turks have had time to make impregnable to any except those superb troops that are now fighting to pass over them. There is no room upon the Gallipoli Peninsula to find peak points, and we are now in the position of having to storm an immensely strong fortsess, the adâ€" vanced works of which by an amazâ€" ing feat of arms we already hold and the glacis of which has to be crossed before we move forward to the asâ€" sault upon the bastion of Achi Baba and beyond to the final assault upon the very walls of that fortress.

On June 21 it was determined to straighten the line upon the extreme right and at 1.30 a.m., the prelimiâ€" nary _ bombardment began. _ All through the morning the cannonade went on. By noon the second division of French had on the left stormed and captured all the Turkish trenches of the first two lines. Even the Haricot redoubt with its damnable entangleâ€" ments and maze of communicating trenches was in French hands. On the right, however, the first division, after reaching its objective, had been counterâ€"attacked so effectively that they had fallen back. Again they adâ€" vanced, again they took the trenches and again they were driven out. It A despatch from Berlin says: A Bavarian courier reports that among the prisoners of war at Lerchenfeld (one of the quarters of Vienna) is a member of the Paris branch of the Rothschild family, who was captured while driving an automobile. The courier declared that efforts made through the Spanish Embassy to have special treatment accorded Mr. Rothsâ€" child resulted in his being compelled to go to work in the hay fields with other prisoners at 4 o‘clock the next morning.

That position would become an untenable salient and the Haricot redoubt reâ€" vert to the enemy. At this moment a message was sent to say that the trenches must be captured and when recaptured, held. A Fierce Battle. There were still five hours of dayâ€" light for this battle of the longest day of the year. British guns and howitzers were asked for and sent at once, and the bombardment was reâ€" sumed throughout the afternoon. At 5.30 it seemed as if every gun on earth were pouring shells on the Turâ€" kish lines. At 6 o‘clock the third assault was delivered. In one trench there was a temporary shortage of ammunition, but the enemy fought even with stones, sticks and fists. A battalion came hurrying up from the Turkish right to reinforce it, and was caught on open ground by the drumâ€" ming 75‘s and melted away. Thus 600 yards of Turkish trenches were taken, and still the bombardment cvontinued in order to ward off the counterâ€"attack that was anticipated. In the morning we heard gladly that the enemy‘s counterâ€"attacks had failâ€" ed and that our allies were indeed firmly established. The Turkish casâ€" ualties were ‘at least 7,000. One trench 200 yards long and 10 feet deep was brimming over with dead. They had been valiant, those dead men.

Mr. Lloydâ€"George‘s wit on the platâ€" form is well known, but Pearson‘s Weekly says that the following was one of the neatest retorts he ever made: He was addressing a meeting in South Wales when the chairman, thinking to be witty at the chancelâ€" lor‘s expense, remarked to the audiâ€" ence that he was a little disappointed in Mr. Lloydâ€"George‘s appearance. "I had heard so much about Mr. Lloydâ€"George," he said, "that I naâ€" turally expected to meet a big man in every sense; but, as you can see for yourselves, he is very small in staâ€" ture." Many an orator would have been grievously upset by such an unfortuâ€" nate beginning to the proceedings, but not so Mr. Lloydâ€"George. "I am grieved to find," he said, with mock seriousness, "that your chairâ€" man is disappointed in my size, but this is owing to the way you have here of measuring a man. In North Wales we measure a man from his chin up, but you evidently measure him from his chin down!" After that, the chairman made more personal remarks. Put Soldiers on Land. The extensive location of Canadian soldiers on western lands after the war, is foreshadowed by letters reâ€" ceived at Ottawa. As yet, of course, nothing definite has been arranged, but the suggestion is that the British Government may conclude an agreeâ€" ment with the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way whereby great numbers of reâ€" turned soldiers may be aided to take up C.P.R. or other lands and become homesteaders. This is regarded as a prectical way of assisting men to whom the Empire is indebted but who themselves would not have the capital required. at $14,994,000.

When Doctor Tuckerman was in London for his health, he consulted Doctor Abernethy, and, oblivious of scowls and jerks f the body, expaâ€" tiated on the importance of health to him, as the pastor of "a little parish in Chelsea, Massachusetts," until the physician lost his patience completeâ€" ly, and cut him short with: "No matter about your little parâ€" ish; go home and build a barn!" The celebrated Doctor Abernethy, who lived more than a hundred years ago, not only loathed cireumlocution in others, but avoided it himself. The Rev. Doctor Tuckerman of New Engâ€" land had all the selfâ€"absorption that seems to have been a trait rather common in the last century, and on these two bits of charterization hangs an amusing story. efi the advice, and found it perfectly adapted to the case! He got plenty f_f outdoor exergise and a mechanical employment that occupied his mind. When the barn was finished, his health was restored. â€" The demand for sincerity is far in excess of tha visible supply. 6 United States Markets. A Novel Prescription. Winnipeg Wheat.

The torpedo is a living, selfâ€"conâ€" trolled â€" instrument of destruction and death. And England is the home of the torpedo. Whitehead torpedoes, the most perfect, are made at Newâ€" castleâ€"onâ€"Tyne. German naval experts are great believers in the efficacy of the torâ€" pedo, and were quick to adopt it. The German type is larger than that used on American ships. The Germans also plan to make more use of torâ€" pedoes than either the British or American ships. The big ~German battleships have from four to six torâ€" pedo tubes. The maximum number on the new United States dreadâ€" noughts is four. Some British ships have five tubes, In the engineâ€"room of the modern torpedo is a small gyroscope which is set spinning in the plane of the course determined for the torpedo. Once launched this gyroscope keeps the torpedo on its course. The slightâ€" est inclination to swerve from that course is checked by the rudder movâ€" ed by the gyroscope. The cigarâ€"shaped case of the torâ€" pedo is divided info three compartâ€" ments. The forward compartment contains the explosiveâ€"in the case of the modern torpedo about 300 pounds of guncotton. Here also is the trigâ€" ger machinery that explodes the gunâ€" cotton when the torpedo strikes its victim. The second compartment is kgoufi _as the secret or immersion chamber. Stored in it is the hydroâ€" Every torpedo released during the present war costs from $5,000 to $8,â€" 000, and the great majority of them never find a victim, but go to the bottom after their motive power is exhausted. The gyroscopeâ€"controlled torpedo is the most improved type. The British torpedo of this type has a range of more than six miles. What range the Germans have developed in this war is not known. The average speed of the torpedo is 40 knots an hour. Steer Themselves. Its motive power is exhausted at the end of its range, and The Hague convention required that it be so constructed it would sink when its propellors â€"stopped. Otherwise _ it would float until it collided â€" with some substance to explode it. The victim might be a neutral or merâ€" chant ship. ht The United States Government owns a big torpedo plant at Newport, and the result has been to reduce the cost of torpedoes there to $3,200 each. The maximum range of British torâ€" pedoes is 11,000 yards. The German torpedoes have a range at best of 7,000 yards, and the American torpeâ€" does are limited to 4,000, according to the latest figures compiled by naâ€" val authorities. The most modern torpedo, without doubt the type which sank the Lusiâ€" tania, is fitted with a gyroscope conâ€" trol. It is doubtful if any other type could have hit the Lusitania except by the merest accident, because of her speed and the consequent treâ€" mendous displacement of water. This latest torpedo has a vertical rudder controlled from within its own body and directing its own course. Before such a rudder was fitted to torpedoes they were aimed according to a recognized speed gnd distance scale and the rest left to chance. Selfâ€"propelled. Before it is launched the torpedo officer determines at what depth under the water it is desirable to have the torpedo strike the target. He fixes a control screw that operates the static piston which regulates the depth under water at which the torâ€" pedo runs. . HONOR FOR COMMANDER OF THIRD INFANTRY BRIGADEF BRIG.â€"GEN. M. S.

TORONTO A despatch frem London says: Sir William Osler, s%aking at a meeting o‘ the Research Defence Society, said the fact that there had been only 1,000 cases of typhoid fever during the period of war among the forces of the Empire was something which only those who %derstood the history of typhoid in other wars could appreâ€" ciate.

"We are going for the first time to have a war | in which the bullet will be accountable for the large® number of deaths, and |\not disease," he said. hydrostatic piston. Inside the piston is a spring which presses the piston against a leather diaphragm in the bulkhead of the chamber. The piston is connected with the horizontal rudder. When first launchâ€" ed this piston meets no resistance from the leather diaphragm and the horizontal rudder is elevated and the torpedo dives downward at _ an acute angle. As it sinks water passes through a valve and pressure is exâ€" erted on the diaphragm. The hyâ€" drostatic piston is thus forced back until the horizontal rudder with which it is connected assumes a normal poâ€" sition and the torpedo then goes forâ€" ward on the level which it has found. The last of the three compartments contains the engine which drives the torpedo forward. It is operated by compressed air. When the torpedo is forced from the tube, usually by compresed air, triggers on the outsire of the shell are caught and these set the interâ€" nal machinery of the torpedo going. A WONDERFUL HEALTH RECORD A despatch from London says: The Parliamentary campaign for national war thrift will be carried out under the auspices of a large committee, of which the joint presidents are Preâ€" mier Asquith, Andrew Bonar Law and Arthur Henderson.

A journalist belonging to a neutral nation gives this description . of, the manipulation of information by the authorities in Germany: o When I entered Germany I believâ€" ed myself able to take a detached view of the war. Careful study of the different official communiques had, I imagined, enabled me to get at the truth in its essential features. Nothing, I was convinced, could influâ€" ence my deliberatelyâ€"formed estimate of the relative value of the informaâ€" tion officially and semiâ€"officially disâ€" seminated from the various belligerâ€" ent countries. Constant reading of all the large newspapers published in belligerent and neutral States had made me confident of my ability to distinguish the realities behind news and opinions, and had made me proof against "atmosphere." After a month in Germany I found I was mistaken.

It will be remembered that, on the outâ€" break of war, the whole German press was turned against England overâ€" night. Twentyâ€"four hours after having praised the vigorous efforts of Grert Britain to prevent war, it denounced Sir Edward Grey as the moving spirit in a conspiracy to assail Germany. None but distorted views from abroad were allowed to be published. The German people were told only what it was desired they should believe. All unfavorable _ information was treated as "lies," and a thoroughlyâ€" organized press campaign was carried on in neutral countries in the same sense. The "neutral" opinions thus inspired were reproduced in Germany as evidence that impartial foreign opinion supported the German view. By these means the warâ€"mind. of ! the German people was created and fashioned. The process still goesl on, though, as I have before remarkâ€" ed, the French, Russian, and British communiques are now regularly printâ€" | ed in the larger newspapers, and are frequently criticized in the communiâ€" | cations from the German headquarâ€" . ters staff. But foreign reports have no influence whatever upor, the Gerâ€"| man mind. The Germans are so conâ€" vinced of the accuracy of their own official versions that no other repom‘ count. It is the same with enemy | newsâ€" papers. In the Victoria Cafe at Berlin I was able to read, day by day, the French, Italian, German and neutral journals.

A blizzard was shricking across the prairie when I drew my cutter into the black shed and stumbled into the great living room of the long, |low, log dwelling of the "kaiser" of |the community. The instant the door \was closed I could feel my ears and \nose tingle and burn as they began to thaw. My host, a tall, angular, ‘bearded man, and his "vrouw," who \ was short and dumpy, were very soliâ€" iciwun in helping me out of my halfâ€" | frozen buffaloâ€"coat and woollen mitts, ‘and inquiring through the medium of 'a buxom daughter, after my health. A â€" Most Economical and Efficient Heating Apparatus. About forty years ago the Menâ€" nonites immigrated and settled in the Dakotas and in Manitoba, where the Canadian Government set aside for them a great block of prairie, forty miles long by twenty wide. Here they laid out their curious villages, which had only one street, and that often a mile long, with log houses set back from the roadway at the town ends of the long, narrow farms. Here they lived and waxed fat, following their oldâ€"country customs, and became solid and progressive citizens. But while the old people still lived, they ruled, and the old ways were strictly followed in the household. I rememâ€" ber, writes a Youth‘s Companion reader, how curiously their method of heating the houses struck me when I observed it for the first time. which Gen, When the girl arrived with the steaming bowl of stew, I asked her where the heat came from. She pointed then to a long, narrow, boxâ€" like structure that ran the entire length of the room. I touched it, and hastily snatched away my blistered hand. That was only another ancient Mennonite custom. These Mennonâ€" ites have one stove for cooking, at the end of the great room, and another for heating. The latter is really a long clay fiue, whitewashed like the rest of the interior. It extends the full length of the house, about four feet above the floor, against the wall. It ends in a chimney at one end, and at the other in a clay furnace box. When the house is to be heated, a fire of sticks is kindled in this box, and stoked until the flames roar the entire length of the flue. Then halfâ€" dried stable refuse is heaped on the flames, the door is seailed, and the dwelling is warm, or rather suffocatâ€" ingly hot, for the rest of the day. For a country that has such cold winters as have Manitoba and the Daâ€" kotas, it is a most economical and efficient heating apparatus. But it has one drawback. The clay is just porous enough to allow part of the fumes of the slowly burning refuse to seep through, and consequently, when the heat is at its greatest, the air is fairly saturated with their punâ€" gent, sickly sweet odor. "What‘s on the carpet toâ€"day, my dear?" asked Mr. Wombat, who is flowery of speech. "More mud that Johnny has trackâ€" ed in, I s‘pose," responded literal Mrs. Wombat.
