TERRIFIC FIGHTI
NOW IS PROGRESS IN
DIRDMIELLES REGION
Both British and Turk Forces
Claim Success in Present
Engagement
TURKS HAVE LOST HEAVILY
German Advance in Flanders Re
ported Checked by British
Commander
Turkish and British reports of the
land operations in the Dardanelles re
gion again are In direct confliot. From
the Turkish version it would appear
that the Anglo-French land invasion
ha* resulted in disaster for the allies.
Further claims to victories are made
in an official report from Constantino
ple to-day. It is said the forces which
landed near Kaba Tepeh were forced
hack along the whole front with heavy
losses, Tour brigades being driven into
the sea and others surrendering. One
transport is said to have been sunk.
British official reports give no hint
of a defeat. The latest statement from
London say the land forces have suc
ceeded in establishing a line across
the Galllpoli peninsula, on the Euro
pean side of the straits and are ad
vancing steadily.
An unofficial dispatch from Athens
states that the allies were victorious
in a battle on the west side of the
peninsula, inflicting serious losses on
the Turks and capturing one battalion.
Fighting Lews Severe
The battle of Flanders has passed
the high point of intensity and is be
coming less severe. An official Bel
gian statement speaks merely of the
activity of artillery and aviators along,
the part of the front held by the Bel-|
gian forces. Field Marshal Sir John
French, the British commander, has
announced that the German advance
has been checked definitely.
In the Russian campaign new battles
are developing in the north, alone the
east Prussian border. Petrograd dis
patches speak of various encounters.

TO IMPROVE FORTIFICATIONS
By Associated Press
Washington, April 29.—Secretary
Garrison was to-day arranging for fre
quent conferences with his immediate
advisers in the war department re
garding plans for a permanent nation

In connection with the plan the secre

those fortifications.
LEGISLATURE!
ON HOME STRETCH
Looks Very Much Like May 13
Will See the End of the
Present Session
BIG BILLS GOING ALONG
j
Next Week Will Be Marked by |
Action on Child Labor and
Compensation
The end of the legislature of 1915 is
in sight and it looks as though the
Senate would next week amend the
House resolution fixing May 6 as the
date of adjournment to read May IS.
The action of the House to-day in
pushing through the appropriation
bills and the activity of the chairmen
in framing the general appropriation
act indicates that the finish is not far
off and neixt week will see action all
along the line.
Monday night the child labor bill
will have Its third reading in the Sen
ate and the people opposing the Gov
ernor s plan will make their final on
slaught. It is freely predicted that
the bill will pass as desired by the
Governor and that on Tuesday the cor
porations committee will make some
amendments to the workmen's com
pensation bills and that they will get
to a vote soon after. The plan is to
get the bills to the Governor about
May 10.
Thus far Governor Brumbaugh has
given no sitn about appointments, all
of the Ten.r appointments having been
help up at his request and the public
service nominations being considered
as withdrawn, opinion is that the
Governor will "loosen up" the last
week.
The amended automobile registra
tion bill, which increases automobile
licenses to get money for road con
struction, did not come out of the
House committee in charge to-day, but
is due Monday and will be fought.
The other revenue raising bills are not
in good shape, to be frank about it.
The manufacturing capital stock tax
bill has been sent to a crypt and the
stamp tax is dead. The four mill
bond tax does not look very robust.
If the revenue raisers fail the only
hope for money for road construction
will be to reduce the general appro
priation bill and some of the others.
It begins to look as though the
legislators wanted the highway de
partment to make bricks without
straw.
