Why Colonel Consulted Barnes
Mr. Ivins picked up the autobiogra

Piatt's most efficient lieutenants being
men of the best character and the
highest standing in the community.
"Did you include Mr. Barnes' in

"Xo."
"Did,vou include him in that class

"No."
"if you did not so regard him why

rightly. Most politicians had two na
tures, however. I regarded Mr. Barnes
as a Dr. Jekyll add a Mr. Hyde. He]
had two sides, a good and a bad one
as other politicians had."

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Coatlnued From First Page.
Italy's participation in the war at
present was unlikely. Austria would
use every effort he said, to avoid giv
ing Italy reasonable grounds for war,
and would seek to place Italy in the
position of the aggressor If the nation
decide to take up arms.
The assault on the Dardanelles has
been renewed, although it is not ap
parent whether the allied forces are
ready to begin the expected general
attack. Four British warships entered
the straits yesterday and bombarded
the Turkish forts, which were sub
jected also to indirect fire across the
peninsula from the gulf of Saros. The
result of this fighting has not been dis
closed.
Bombardment of the Turkish forts
at Smyrna, Asia Minor, also is believed
to have been resumed. Tliere is noth
ing to indicate, however, that any move
has been made toward an attack by the
forces landed from the golf of Saros,
such as is expected to accompany the
next effort on a large scale to win the
Dardanelles
A long conference between the
Italian Foreign Minister and the Aus
trian Ambassador at Borne, Is accepted
as a sign that negotiations are still
under way between Austria and Italy.
It was reported yesterday morning Italy
had sent an ultimatum to Austria.
