A report gained credence today that Vice Admiral Car den, commahder-in-chief of the Anglo- French fleet engaged in operations ; against the Dardanelles, had been ' killed or wounded in the fighting of Thursday, when the British battle , sh,a4w.iJrcBj!ablftnd the Frenctf" battleship Bouvet were silnK.

Admiralty dis patches Indicated that'fe-rts Killd Bahr and Chanak were badly damaged by ftbe concentrated fire of 16 allied war- hips. Ilpatrthes from Athene carried the ''report tliat. despite the heavy losses V sustained, the fleet has re-entered the f Dardanelles and that the shelling of the forts onrboth sides of the Narrows has been resumed. At the same time, ' ? I an unofficial report from Petrograd states .that the Russian Black sea ; -"i fleet has appeared off the entrance to the Straits of Bosporus and that Its i appearance has occasioned a panic In Constantinople. This causes the be- lief that there has been a definite un derstanding that the' Anglo-French , fleet or one side and the Russian war- i ships on the other are to deliver slmul i taneous attacks on the defenses of v Constantinople In the expectation of hastening the city's downfall.

The seriousness of the danger from mines is emphasized bfy the frank admission or tne tiruisii aamiraity that the bat tleships Irresistible Jand Ocean and the French battleship Bouvet were sunk in areas previously cleared of mines.

J The computation is based for the fntire period on the current assess ment roll of .approximately $336, 000,000 and ori the assumption that the bonds will be sold at par bearing f-per cent interest. It is fair to assume that the ss- fessment will increase;. This will essen the amount' payable . on each $1000. of assessed property. It is also : reasonable to assume that the county will effect a more advan tageous sale of the bends than the pne assumed for the purpose of the fomputatlon. The bonds will probably be sold n installments so the interest ; for .the first six months poriord will not be the amount accrulmr on the en jtire proposed issue.
