News received here from the Dardanelles is to the effect that the recent Turkish attack against the British troops near Kaleh Tepe by two Turkish divisions was carefully prepared by General LI man von Sand- era, the German commander, and his staff, not only with the object of in flicting a check on the allies, but with raising the spirits of the Turkish troops and reassuring public opinion, which is said to have been profoundly impressed by the heavy Turkish losses at the beginning of May. General von Sanders brn?Ht up the First Army Corps, a crack organiza- J tion which had been reserved fsr the defense of Constantinople. Two divi sions of this corps marched to Kaleh Tepe and attacked the Australians and New Zealanders the night of May 18-19. They were completely beaten, however, losing 2000 men killed and 5000 wound ed, the reports say. On the southern end of the peninsula the French troops faced strong de fensive works. At certain points they advanced to within a few yards of the Turks, and fierce bayonet and hand grenade fighting followed. In one of these harnd - to - hand struggles it Is asserted that a colonial infantryman named ,L.aborde spontaneously took the lead as his group was entering a Turk ish trench and, by throwing grenades, succeeded, unaided, in stopping a Turk ish counter-attack and preventing quick-firers being used until he fell wounded. CONSTANTINOPLE, via Amsterdam and London, May 25. Official an nouncement has been made here that an attack by the French, and British forces yesterday on the Turkish posi tions near Seddul Bahr, on the south ern end of Oallipoli Peninsula, had been repulsed. It is stated the allies left 2000 dead on the field. INJUNCTION IS REFUSED COURT, HOWEVER, DOES NOT DIS MISS INDIAN CASE. Ysklm's Are to Be Made Party to Suit Over Klablng Rights by ITnited States) Attorney. Although Federal Judge Wolverton Monday declined to grant a tem porary injunction restraining Frank A- Seufert, cannery operator of The Dalles, from operating a fishwheel at Lone Tree Point, fishing rights to which are claimed by the Government for Sam Williams, a Yakima Indian, the Judge also declined to grant the motion of Mr. Seufert's attorneys to dismiss the case. In his decision Judge Wolverton said that the act of Central Oregon Indians in a treaty of 1865 in relinquishing their right to fish on the Oregon shore placed a heavier burden on the Yakima Indians to prove their rights to fish there. The treaty of 1855 gave the Yakima Indians the right to fish at their "usual and accustomed" fishing places in com mon with white citizens of the terri tory. Judge Wolverton took the view that Sam Williams, although & Yakima Indian, became a naturalized citizen when he obtained his allotment on the Yakima reservation in 1906, and that Williams was therefore not In the posi tion of a Yakima Indian in suing for tribal rights. Assistant United States Attorney Rankin, who ably presented the Gov ernment's case at the preliminary hear ing, announced that the Government would go right ahead and prepare for the trial to determine Williams' fish ing rights at Lone Tree Point and that Judge Wolverton'a suggestion that th Yakima Indians be made a party to the suit would be followed. , DOCTOR REPORTED DEAD PORTLAND PHYSICIAN SAID TO BE WAR VICTIM IN SERBIA.

C, told the Southern Sociolog ical Congress, in a paper, what he be lieved would be the most serious con sequences of the European war.

HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY Baby Lions, Tiger and Elephant Alluring and Deeds of Daring More Reckless Than of Old Delight Spectators. BY LEONE CASS BAER. Oh, for a new way to begin to tell you about the Buffalo Bill show. Cir cuses are such fine ancient and honor able institutions since the wet day when Noah befjan the habit. Some heartless wretch has said that all babies are alike. Well, the same sore of wise cuy affirms that all cir cuses are alike. They aren't, you know no more than are babies. Each has its own personal ball marks, its own individuality. Buffalo Bill's show, for instance, isn't like any other tented show on earth. It may have points of similarity In tigers arra lions ana tigresses and lionesses and camels ami elephants, but the other circuses suffer by comparison, for they haven t Buffalo Bill. Nor have they Injuns or cowboys, not forncttinB a band of cowgirls in true Fendletonian Roundup atmosphere. Small Relatives In Demand. The littlest boy I know took me to the circus. A thousand or more little boys and girls took their aunts and grand-paws and whatnots in relatives. Into every speck of seat in the amphi theater we all crowded and extricated ourselves from between the" feet of gentlemanly ushers, who sold tickets for the grand concert. In our best lit tle day-coach-passenger style we ate peanuts and let the shells fall where they listed. Ice cream cones, cracker- jack, and pop venders plied their wares with profit, which proved that circuses are really table d'hote and you want all that's on the bill of fare. I wouldn't have been surprised to see palmiest fans wig-wagging or a flood of red lemonade. But Buffalo Bill (himself) told me that Oregon has ideal circus weather if it rains it doesn't hurt the show, and if it's sunny it's Just pleasant. They save the palmleaf stuff for Billings, Mont. Colonel Cody was trying to recover from the visit of an amiable seeker of acquaintanceship whose great-grandfather had fought Indians with him. We figured out that Buffalo Bill's age was 163. according to her count. Like David Warfield. the list of schoolboy friends grows lengthier earh visit and 10,000,000 men remember fighting with Cody. Lioness Longs for Quirt. From a visit to his tent we went to see the two baby lions, only 2 weeks old, the mother of which would bo glad to give up her professional life forever and live in peaceful domesticity. But she is one of the stars and twice daily she perforins in the arena. Madame Lucia Zora, intrepid and daring, gave an amazing exhibition with a herd of lions and a gang of elephants.
