MAJESTIC SINKS j
' IN DARDANELLES.
BRITISH BATTLESHIP TO RPEDOED
BY SUBMARINE?MOST
OF CREW SAVED.
Locfon, May 27:?The torpedoing
and sinking of the British battleship
Majestic is announced by the admiralty
in the following statement:
"An enemy submarine torpedoed
and sank H M S Majestic,. Capt j
H F G Talbot, this morning while it
was supporting the army on the
Gallipoli peninsula.
"Nearly all of the officers and
men were saved."
The battleship Majestic was a vessel
of 14,900 tons and of 10,000 horse
power. Her officers and crew on a
peace footing aggregated 7-57.
11
The Majestic, which was built in j
1895, carried four 12-inch, 12 6-inch
and 16 3-Inch guns and 12 3-pounder j
guns. In addition she was armed j
with five 18-inch torpedo tubes.
The sinking of the Majestic makes
the fifth British'battleship lost in
the Dardanelles campaign, and the
third by a hostile submarine, the
Triumph having been s?nt to the
bottom in the Gulf of Saros last
Wednesday and the Goliath a few
days before. The French also have
lost one battleship in the Turkish
campaign?the Bouvet.

property shortage was originally
$104,000, but this has been settled,

Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and

This is a remedy that every fam- J

during the summer months.
Think of the pain and suffering that (
must be endured when medicine <
must be sent for,or before relief can
be obtained. This remedy is thoroughly
reliable. Ask any one who j
has used it. Obtainable everywhere. '
Never judge a newspaper by its
lack of ads. Judge the merchant by 1
