Paul Stout, chief engine(- of ordnance,
?and Philip A. Kishei fo. .erly a petty
officer in the I'nited Stales Army, were
i killed to-day at the Redingt.m proving
grounds of the Bethlehem Steel Com?
pany while experimenting with a new
kind of high expios ve shell. Three
other men were rushed to St. Luke's
Hospital here in a ritical condition.
The steel company recently received
a large arder from England for shells,
and it is said 1'ie ? being tested was
of a new variety invented by the con?

in the "explosion, chamber" at the prov?

BRITISH HOLD
12-MILE FRONT
I onllniird from paar 1
forced to withdraw to positions close
by. These posit on? have been con?
solidated effectively.
The attack from Suvla Bay was not
developed quickly enough, and, as
recount?-*?.! on the luth, was brought
to a standstill after an advance of
about two and a half miles. The
ground gained by both attacks was
sufficient, however, to enable their
lines to be connected along a front
of more than twelve miles.
Further reinforcements having ar?
rived, a renewed attack was made on
the 21st on the centre of this new
and extended line. The Australian
and New Zealand troops successfully
advanced about three-quarters of a
mile and a strong system of knolls
and underfeatures was secured.
Fall Back to First Front.
On the rest of the battle front
advanced Tarkish trenches were
stormed. All the divisions engaged
reached points on the slopes and
spurs of hills which form the enemy's
centre, but after several hour, of
sharp lighting they were unable to
gain the summit and, the intermedi?
ate positions on this part of the line
not being capable of permanent de?
fence, they were withdrawn to the
original front.
The great power of defensive un?
der modern conditions accounts for
the difficulties of troops once the
advantage of surprise is lost. In
tlic close fighting, with the earied
fortunes of repealed attacks and
counter?attacki attending these bat
the loases inflicted upon the
enemy undoubtedly were much heav?
ier even than our own. The ground
gained and held is of great value,
but these facts must not lead the
public to suppose that the true ob?
jectives have been gained or that
further serious and costly efforts
will not be required before a de
eisivs victory is won.
FRENCH OFFKTAL.
The French War Office this after?
noon gave out the following report on
the Dardanelles operations:
The period of live days since the
issuing of the last communication
on the Dardanelles has bei'n marked
in the northern zone by further
progress on the part of the Rritish
left wing. These British troops have
occupied 80?) yards of enemy trenches.
In the southern zone the opera?
tions have been limited to artillery
actions and to fighting between pa?
trols.
During the night of August 23-24 a
French company was successful in
a surprise attack on a Turkish posi?
tion us?-?,I by the enemy for listen?
ing purposes. In the morning of
August 26 a detachment of Turkish
soldiers endeavored to rcoccupy this
position, but they were repulsed.
On August 20 our squadron bom?
barded with success a point of de?
barkment at Achachiliman, on the
Kuropean side of the strait, to the
north of .Vagara. In spite of the
violent tire of numerous hostile but?
teries one of our aviators was me
eessful m sinking, at its anchorage,
a large Turkish transport.

A silence absolutely churchlike be?

sound wafl the snapping of the pen?

The men talked in whispers, n?.t be?
cause an imperial ceremony was .-.hail?

ty of the picture made loquacity an
impertinence.
Setting Gigantic Details.
But there were moments in the slow
co-ordinating of certain gigantic de?
tails of the picture that compelled the
whispered admiration of even the men
who hate themselves for uttering ba
nalties in the face of a big proposi?
tion.
Mere wa? a cry of command, then a
scuffling of many feet that was hardly
more than a soft brushing sound. It
rose to a rustle and became a tram?

It made the plain tremble as bat
talion after battalion swung them
selves into new formations, and, lie

rank upon rank of gray, had been '
formed in a twinkling.
Tlie swiftness and nrecision of the

Then I caught the words: "Farewel

from the lines, mat shaped itself int
the words, "Adieu, your majesty."
The roar died away and the fai
carrying voice of an officer cam
crackling across the plain in the con
niand:
"Three cheers for our Kaiser!"
A Surge of Deep Cheers.
.'he cheers went surging from bal
talion to battalion like the throb ?i
artillery and blended grandly into th
strains o! the Kaiser anthem froi
the massed bands.
All through the anthem the Empero

! blazing with decorations, was very stil

, from letting go.
Like a brother the Emperor hai
spoken, and like brethren his troop
had received his thoughts. It had a!
been more a rite than a parade, an?
the keynote of it was an intimacy ??
tender and so sacred that finer fibre?
? foreigners present felt almost a sens?
I of shame in looking too sharply on.
Iron Crosses for Privates.
| The bestowal of honors followed th?
anthem. The Emperor gave iron crosses
for perhaps fifteen private soldiers inte
the hands of Hindenburg, and Hinder
burg pinned them on the soldiers
j breasts. There were honors for certain
generals, too, but I was too far away
to catch the drift of all that.
After the bestowal the Emperor
visited with much animation with many
officers, devoting much of his time and
to Hindenburg, who tow end
above him. Many officers also came to
pay their respects to Hindenburg. and
it seemed to me that they bent lower
over his hand than they did over the
Emperor's, partly, perhaps, because the
Emperor has a way of ehaking hands in
a thoroughly upstanding manner that
gently but firmly prev?ate an over
ob.?equious attitude. He is a man.
The Empercr appeared to be in
splendid condition. His voice was
strong and his hearing that of a much
younger man tha.i his grandfather.
The officer who followed him with a
cry for three cheers had to roar like
a bull, yet his words hardly came as
clearly to the car as had the Em?
peror's.
A Spaniard who stood next to me
said: "His majesty seems very joyful,
but Excellenz Hindenburg looks very
serious."
"Gatt Mit In?."

HAYTIAN THREAT
I BRINGS DELAY
U. S. Grants Time for Dis?
cussion of Proposed
American Control.
Port-au-Prince, Iiayti, Aug. 25. The
government and Congress having
threatened to resign if the American
government iefuse.1 to permit of a <ii
cnssion of the proposed treaty which
would allow the United States ten
years' control of the sland govern
; ment finances, Wash'r.gton has agreed
I to permit a discussion of the conven?
tion.
The populace, which ha?l been agi
i tated, is now more tranquil.
The adherents of Dr. Rosalvo Bobo,
' the revolutionary leader, who left
Hayti following his recent defeat for
the Presidency, are still in arms.
? ??lonel Eli K. ?ole, of the United
Suit's Marine Corps, who has been
ror.ducting negotiations with them, has
made no progress. Dr. Bobo's support?
ers say they will not disarm so long as
their leailer ia denied the Presidency.
The American gunboat Nashville has
started for P?.rt-a-Paix to debark one
. hundred ma.-ines.
Hayti Will Accept
U. S. Control, Is Belief
: I
Washington. Aug. 2?r>. The time
given to the Haytian Parliament to ?et
on th" proposed treaty giving the
: United States a general supervision
i over the finances and custom houses
! of the republic for ten years has been
extended by the Si.'.te Department.
Charge Davis had given the Haytian
government until to-day to return an
an-wer.
While jt is known that many ele?
ments in the republic are opposed to
American domination, officials are con?
fident the measure will go through.
sin native leaders, notablv General
Bobo, are attempting to inflame the
: people and to advance their own in
, but it is expected here that
Wiser counsel will prevail when the
' real intentions of the American gov?
ernment are understood.
The State Department announced to
I day that the sole intent in assuming
control of Havtian finances was to
! protect the country from exploitation
' at the hands of unscrupulous rebels,
who seek oi If personal aggrandise?
ment and unlawful gain. There is no
thought, it was slated, of seising the
Mo|e St. Nicholas a? a naval base.
It was pointed out, unofficially, that
FaUropean nations with large interests
. in Hayti are out of patience with con?
ditions there and that l?verai of them
i have overtly threatened intervention.
I Hut for the Kuropean war. it was said,
i the Monroe Doctrine would have been
| put to a severe test.
The Haytian Minister, Dr. Solon
! Menos, called on Secretary Lansing to?
day and aiked that certain concessions
i be made in the proposals submitted by
this government. It is understood that
Dr. Menos particularly objected to the
1 appointment of a large number of
American functionarie and requested
that a majority of the positions I?
, filled by Haytiana.
Secretary Lansing is understood to
I have told the minister that the Ameri
I can government was asking of Hayti
i only what it considered to be the irre
! ducible minimum consistent with an
i efficient administration of the finances
; of the country. The negotiations are
| being conducted at Port-au-Prince by
i Charge Davis, acting for the United
States, nnd the State Department, Dr.
?Menos was told, prefers that sugges
; tions be submitted through Mr. Davis.
The plan of the American govern
, ment is to enter into a treaty with
Hayti granting to the United States
! the right to collect the customs and
administer the finances of Hayti for
; the purpose of guaranteeing the bonds
I of the Haytian government. The fre?
quent in'ernal disturbances in the re
' public result in the dissipation of the
j revenues, so that foreign creditors have
I no security against loss. Secretary
| Lansing said to-day i
"We have only one purpose that is
i to help the Haytian people and prevent
, them from being exploited by irre?
sponsible revolutionists. These are not
1 properly revolutions, thev are unor
? ,1 enterprises, which involve no
question of principle, ami thev are
, ruining the country. While they are
in progress, pe.? irving in the
streets of Port-au-Prince because thev
cannot seeure the supplies of food
which abound in the country. Things
have been going from bad to worse.
and something must be done. The ,

pose of aggreaaion and is entirely dis?
interested in promoting this protector?

Must Be Ready for Any
Foe, He Tells Gov?

OFFICERS TAKING
LESSONS FROM WAR
Executives Witness Sham Attack
on Flagship Wyoming and
Escape a Torpedo.
Boston, Aug. 25. A navy, steadily in?
creased in size and efficiency so that it
will be ready to defend the ccuntry
against attack from any quarter, is the
aim of Secretary of the N'avy Josephus
Daniels, he declared before the Gover?
nors' conference to-day. He spoke at
an adjourned session on board the flag?
ship Wyoming, of the North Atlantic
fleet, in Massachusetts Bay.
For two hours the Secretary stood on
the bridge of the flagship while Ad?
miral Ln?teher pat the fleet through
intriente man?uvres illustrating at?
tack and defence. Then he joined the
Governors in the admiral's cabin and
told them why he had made them his
guests for the afternoon.
"The navy must abide in the hearts
of the whole country if it is to be
strong and powerful and made great,"
the Secretary said. "It is for the peo?
ple, not the President or myself, to sav
| how great it shall be. As you go to
your homes you will speak the word
that will help to determine this ques?
tion.
"The greatest things that the navy is
doing are not heralded. Since the war
began there is not an officer in anv
department of the r.aw who has not
'aken advantage of the lessons taught
by the war. Experiments arc proceed?
ing day and night, and to-day in everv
element our navy has no superior in
the world. We do have superiors in
size and numbers, and it is for us to
continue to strengthen our navy.
Should He Ready for Attack.
"I believe we ought to increase our
navy steadily so that in time of stress
and emergency the real first strong
arm of our country will be ready to
defend our country if it is attacked
from anv quarter."
The Wyoming picked up the Gover?
nors at the t'harlestown N'avy Yard and,
taking a position a few miles east of
Boston Light, became the target of at?
tack by twenty-five torpedo boat de?
stroyers after they had passed in re?
view with ten battleships.
Admiral Fletcher had prepared sev?
eral surprises for his passengers, who
included the wives and staffs of the vis?
iting Governors ami former Governors.
The torpedo boat flotilla passed the
flagship at a distance of 300 yards and
then disappeared. They were followed
in double column by the battelships,
headed by the Arkansas and the I'tah.
After the review appeared to have been
ended, the destroyers suddenly reap?
peared in the east.
On the flagship a general alarm
against torpedo attack was sounded,
and soon the big guns of the Wyom?
ing began to fire blank shots at the
onrushing destroyers. The latter cir?
cled the flagship, pouring forth dense
volumes of smoke made by excessive
use of oil. Soon the destroyers were
hidden behind the black cloud that
isolated the flagship.
Dodges a Torpedo.
While interest was absorbed in this
man?uvre, the smoke screen suddenly
was broken by the destroyer Ammen,
which was observed dashing head on
for the Wyoming. The guns of the
latter were immediately trained on the
attack ship and thundered away. The
destroyer, however, came on, and when
she had approached within 3,000 yards
discharged a torpedo.
The missile was seen to strike the
water and then, submerged, made its
way toward the flagship. The latter,
however, on the instant had been put
slightly to starboard, under a full head
of steam, with the result that the speed?
ing torpedo passed a few feet astern.
I.ater the party went to the Eastern
Yacht Club, at Marblehead, where they
were entertained at dinner by the Bos?
ton Chamber of Commerce. Secretary
Daniels responded to a toast to Presi?
dent Wilson, declaring that the Presi?
dent had left nothing undone to put
the country in a proper condition ?>f
defence.
During the dinner telephone connec?
tions were established with Sacramento,
la!., SO that Governor Walsh of Massa?
chusetts could exchange greetings with
Governor Johnson.

which Premier Vivian! would reply to
criticisms of the conduct of the war.
Several departmental and general
councils have pronounced against such
a step.
The Republican and Democratic left
groups have decided to oppose a secret
session, the Radicals are hesitating and
the Socialists are divided. The gen?
eral opinion of the Socialists seems
?to be that they should vote for the ap?
propriations for Under Secretaries of
War for Sanitation and Commissary
and then propose to hear the reports
of the Chamber's budget and military
committee? at a secret ses-ion later,
with the possibility of a debate.
The party organizations will caucus
to-morrow morning to decide what to
do. Premier Viviani, it is believed,
will take the floor soon after the ses?
sion opens to state what the govern?
ment will agree to do. leaving the
Chamber to decide on its course.

ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The official statement from the gen?
eral headquarters says:
In the Tonale zone, after careful
artillery preparation, our troops car?
ried on the '?Ist Pele Vallestino
i Noce i and compelled enemy detach?
ments occupying it to retire, leaving
in our power eight sheds. The enemy
immediately opened an intense ar?
tillery fire against the conquer? . po?
sition and then directed an infantry
attack against it, supported by ma?
chine guns. This was repulsed, the
enemy suffering considerable losses.
Quantities of arms, ammunition and
various materials have fallen into our
hands.
On the I'pper Cordevole, the enemy
attempted by artillery and hand gre?
nade throwing to damage our posi?
tion on Coldilana, near Salasei and
Agasi, but the attack was effectively
answered by our tire and he soon was
obliged to cease his efforts.
On the Isonzo, particularly around
Tolmino and Plava. and on the Carso
front, the enemy's artillery has been
very active against our works. An
attempt on his part to repair a road
previously cut by us along the Na
bresina line, eRSt of Monfalcone,
failed owing to our unrelaxing
watchfulness.
This morning an aeroplane flew
over Brescia and, evading the tire of
our anti-aerial guns, threw down
four bombs, killin;? six persons and
wounding several others all of them
civilians.
