advanced sonic distance toward the
Dardanelles narrows. The French
have cleared Cape Vtumkaloh on the
Asiatic aide of Turks;. '

Thc British lost heavily. Tbs allied

forcements reaching thc Turks. "
Thc British battleship Queen Eliza

? An official account- says the allies

tions ts claimed ?ere by the Turkish
official report from Constantinople to
day denlos .this and says that tho al
ites: forces oil both land and sea have
uict with reverses.
Willie tho reports are fragmen
tary and conflicting, tho British cri
tica declare that they indicate that the
British forcos' have established two
lines across the Gallipoli peninsular
on the European side of tho Darda
nelles, one near thc tip and tho second
at the other end near tho entrance
to tho sea of Marmora.
lan official report from Berlin,
based on advices from the Dardanelles
says the Severe fighting has occurred
at the town ot Gallipoli, which Ilea
on thc straits at tho entrance to tho
sea of 'Marmora. This statement tends
to confirm thc claim of tho British
that they have pushed their way
across the peninsula-at this point. If
such a line ls held it would'cot. off
the Turkish defenders of tho peninsu
la from assistance in the way ot sup
plies . and reinforcements from Con
BtaroUnople.
The Turkish official communication'
today, however, says that the antes'
forces which landed on the Astatic
sids of tho Dardanelles, have been
completely cleared away and that.' a
large part of the troops which In
vaded the Gallipoli peninsula have
been driven off and that sever?-* war
ships and transport of tho allies have
been damaged.
The official Belgian s tato ru ont says
a German attack from Steanstralt was
repulsed. This may refer to tho en

Desultory fighting continues In the
region'of the Sues caecal. It ts assert

MU8KOGKB, April 30.-Amor lea'?
key to thc door ot the vast foreign
trade I? greater Inland navigation, ac
cording John H. Bernard, manager of
the Inland navigation bureau of New
York, speaking before tho Southern
congress here today. - He pointed out
that the In i ted States has the great
est system of Inland water routes m
tho - world. " a system that is practi
cally idle because of the Indifference
of the public and the legal decisions
and r?gulation? of the government
bodies."
"Inland water routes are capable of
giving the United States a method of
transportation that la more ancient
and of a larger capacity than ts now
available at a cost from one-third to
one-fourth of the present railroad
cost," Bernard declared.
To reduce the coat Of construction
by the United States of -American
waterways and aa the beat method of
bringing about a great economy in
transportation be urged a system of
subsidies for the United States mer
chant marine, improvement of rivers
and harbors, forbidding of rall' rates
to meet water competition, construe
tlon of river terminals with belt rail
ways th rougit cooperation of the fed
eral-mid State governments and mu
nlclpalities an? a revision, of the
American navigation laws. He recom
mended that the Improvement of the
rivera and harbors be tn charge of a
special department of the United
States government with cabinet of
ficers at its head.
Various other speakers discussed
foreign commerce today. Tho final
aossion ot Ute congress will bo held
tonight.
Willard Straight of New- York,
member of J. P. Morgan A. Oe>j and
representatives of the Nationalr For
eign Trade council, told the South
ern Commercial Congress here today
that with conditions bound to arise
attor the European, war. negotiations
of reciprocal trade arrangements
should be facilitated, trade reprisals
should be made possible and that a
tariff board might be found necea ?
It is foolish." said he. "for us lo!
talk complacently of capturing Brit-.]
tah and German trade because Bu
ropje ia at war and because the 'Mon
