FORCING THE
DARDANELLES
While Germany and Austria have
been hammering the Russian armies
almost off the face of the earth, the
Allied powers have been concentrat
ing new efforts on the forcing of the
Dardanelles, with the Idea that the
capture of Constantinople would so
change the situation that the pressure
ou Russia would be Immediately re
lieved and a great change take place
in the general situation. The report
that England landed f.0,000 troops
ou the Galllpoll peninsula has been
officially confirmed and It Is already
evident that the augmentation of the
fighting forces In this direction Is
benoflclal, for considerable territory
was Immediately gained from the
Turks.
It has been evident, however, from
the beginning of the fighting at the
Dardanelles, that the Allies have one
of tho biggest problems of the war
before them in the attempted reduc
tion of the Dardanelles fortifications
and the capturo of Constantinople.
Some of tho most savage lighting of
the war has taken place there and
while this fighting has generally gone
against the Turks, they havo put up
a resistance that has been little short
of the heroic. There is no doubt but
that much of the effectiveness of the
Turkish resistance In the Dardanelles
Is duo to the ability of their German
commanders, and those Gorman coin
manders are pretty emphatic in the
prediction that tho Dardanelles will
never be forced by the Allies.
The Baker Herald says:
"The landing of the new British
force is pretty strong evidence that
there has been no abatement of the
Intention to force the Dardanelles by
the Allies. It is about the only man
ner in which they can give aid
Russia, and it Is likely that every pos
sible resource will be applied in thai
direction. In the meantime, negotl
atlons are proceeding which it is he
lieved will bring the Balkan stun
Into contest against Turkey and en
able tho menacing of Constantionpli
from another direction. The llulkar
states are trying to drive the best
bargain possible in dealing with tin
situation, and the potty Jeulousle?
existing between them hus so far pre
vented any 'definite conclusions.
It is evident, however, thut sonic
very Interesting developments are
about to occur In the Balkan coun
try, and It may exert a great Influ
ence on the future course of the war."
Portland on Sunday, at 10:30 a. in.,
ami the remains were Interred in the
Fnlrvlew cemetery at 2 p. m., at

1, 1916, was the promise made by W.
I). Campbell, assistant general mana
ger of the Southern Pacific, return
ing with a party of Southern Pacific
officials from a formal inspection of
the new Willamette Pacific.
Mr. Campbell complimented Chief
Engineer Hoey highly upon the work
done on the road.
"It's good railroad," responded
the engineer. "We could have built
a railroad from Eugene to Marsh
field in less time, but not this kind of
a railroad. It's better than many
trunk lines in the East."
Supt. Campbeell says: "I was
agreeably surprised to find such
splendid country through which the
new line passes, particularly about 1
Marshfleld and North Bend.
"The road passes through the most
delightful paces. I never saw more
beautiful locations for tourists than
along thoso lakes south of the Sins
law the shooting is good, tho fish
ing is good, the scenery is good, and
tho water Is excellent. '
"The country is susceptible to won-'
derful development." I
The rails will bo all laid south of
the Umpqua bridge long beforo its
completion, the ballast lias to com'!
from Eugene and this Is causing part
of the delay.
Mr. Campbell referred to the Hue
to Myrtle Point as a valuable feeder,
extending into the coal field am' tim
ber region.
