$ LANDED AT STRAITS WITH GREAT DARING Allies Establish Themselves on 4 the Shores of the Isthmus STUBBORN FIGHTING Casulties of the Allied Armies ^ Described as Heavy in These Operations. "The disembarkation of the army in the Dardanelles began before sunrise April 25. Six beaches were used and the operation was covered by the $ whole fleet. "The landing was successful immeditely on live beaches, although it was opposod with vigor by a strongly entrenched enemy in successive lines, protected by barbed wire en* tanglem.ents, in some places 50 yards Pwide, and supported by artillery. On the sixth beach, near Seddul Bahr, J* the troops could not advance until " evening, when a fine attack by the British infantry from the direction of Cape Tekeh relieved the pressure on their front. The arrangements for landing had been concerted in the utmost detail between the fleet and tin cu my. rrin*n?\ t? * a v _ ? m a will V?1? "The result of the first day's operah tions was the establishment of strong forces of British, Australian and Now Zealand forces at three points, namely, the Australian and New Zealand troops on the lower slopes of SariHair, north of Baba Tepe; of British troops at Cape Tckeh, at Cape Holies and near Morto bay; and of a French force on the Asiatic shore at Kum 4/ Kaleh, after a gallant attack toward Yeni Shehr. "During the afternoon of the 25tl strong enemy counterattacks began . and hard fighting took place. MeanwK.c ,ne disembarkation of the army proceeded. "At day break on the 2<>th the en omy was still holding the village am' positions of Sedclul Bahr, which was ^ a labyrinth of caves, ruins, trenches pits and entanglements. Aided by thr fleet, this position was stormed by the British in frontal attack through undamaged wire entanglements. Sc<"' dul Bahr was taken about 2 p. m.. <> four pompoms being captured- The situation at this end of the peninsula t^us was definitely secured and the f disembarkation of French and B; ish forces proceeded. Still Further Advance. "On the morning of the 27th after repulsing a Turkish attack upon their left towards Cape Helles, the allies advanced and at 8 p. m. were estabished on entrenching line running I from a point about two miles north I ^ of Cape Tekeh to a small plateau I about De Tott's battery. From this I ^J.jne nn advance since has been made I p to the neighborhood of ICrithia. lb "Meanwhile the Austrians and New Zealand troops at Sari Bair, who .-.ushed nn witli i hr> litmncl hnldnna? ^l^ter the landing on the '25th had jl n engaged almost constantly with ^ pwyVmemy, who made strong repeated 4 Counterattacks which invariably were ^ tall/, ^sed. The Austral an ahd Newl ind troops fought with a line ) .?'Spirit of determination. "On the morning of the 27th a ' fresh Turkish division was launched against Sari Hair, preceded by a heavy artillery fire. A hot engage^ ment followed. The enemy came on boldly ,time after time, but the Aus( tralian and New Zealand troops defeated their every attempt and by 3 p. m. had resumed the offensive. "The French troops at Kum Kaleh also were four times strongly coun Iterattacked on the 26th but retained all their positions. Five hundred Turks, who in the course of one of 4" these counterattacks were cut off by \ the lire of the fleet, were made prisoners, "The operation of the landing army in the face of modern weapons under sea as well as on the land, and in spite of wire entanglements and of land mines and deep pits with spikes jpt their bottoms,, thus has been accomplished. "The casualties in the army necessarily have been heavy. Th Casualties in^he fleet were not enormous. I They appear to have been confined to 1 torpedo boat destroyrs and to boats' crews engaged in landing operations, in which merchant captains and officers and crews of transports also have taken part. WASHINGTON WAITS. Administration Officials Much Interested in Results of West's Mission to Mexico. ] Washington, May 1.?Administration officials are awaiting with inter- ] est the return to Washington of Duval West, President Wilson's person- f al representative in Mexico, who sailed from Vera Cruz today. ^ Mr. West has had personal interviews with Gen. Carranza, Gen. Villa 1 and Gen. Zapata and many of their supporters and administration ofcials are keenly interested in his forthcoming report. Today's advices to the state department indicated an impending battle near Aguascalientes between the forces of Villa and Obrcgon. German warning goes unnoticed Washington, May 1.?The state department has not decided to take any action, so far as could be learned to-; . night, over the German embassy ad-, vertisement in numerous newspa-! pers warning American travelers of', the risk they ran intravelling the war; zone in merchant vessels belonging to Germany's enemies. It was understood that the British and French embassies mentioned the advertisement today to departmental officials though in an informal way. The attitude of the state depart-' ment is said to be such that it may take no notice of the advertisements unless formal complaint is made. The usual course of a diplomatic i agent of a foreign government in Washington who wishes to commu- J nicate with the American public, it was pointed out, is to present a suitable request to the state department. It admitted, however, that since the beginning of the present war, virturally all belligerents have made free use of American newspaper adver Using without reference to the department in urging their nationals to return to their home countries for military service. o IS M & M M m M M M M M 011 SB M ODD BITS OF NEWS.

CHINA FLATLY REFUSES Rejects Group of the Japanese Demands Recently Made of the Flowery Kingdom. China has definitely refused some :>f the most important demands made by Japan. On learning of China's decision the Japanese minister, Eki Hioki, said to -r :? ? t I v_/hiiivoc lurvign minister, 1AI Cheg Hsiang, "I am sorry. I believe my government will be bsap pointed." The Chinese foreign minister at a meeting recently of representatives of the two governments, presented China's reply in the shape of a formul note. It announced China's rejection of group V of the Japanese demands in its entirety. This group, as originally submitted to China, contained what are perhaps the most important demands made by Japan, it provided, among other things, for employment by the Chinese government, of forceful Japanese" as political, financial and iViilifnrv "wKricrkvo ?vo .w i .. ,, |?ti in. ipaiiun i)%\ the Japanese in the police administration of various important places; Japanese supervision over manufacture or purchase by China of munitions of war, and for the granting to Japan of concessions for railway construction and mining and harbor oporations. The new draft of the Japanese demands which was presented on Tuesday reconstructed group V in a manner which the Chinese representative declared was more menacing. The Chinese refusal was modified to some extent by an offer to meet the revised wishes of Japan in regard to the province of Fukien, providing that China shall give Japan a pledge that no foreign power shall receive a concession and no foreign capital shall be employed without Japan's consent in that province. o g HORRY COUNTY g g TRUST COMPANY | [fix L.
