the pole mast at the stern is just visible through the mass of white vapour which is rolling from the bow away from the spectator.The vessel\u2019s 8-in.guns are pointing high in air as the starboard side of the vessel rolls into view.Water is just streaming off the upper edge of the bilge keel, which would lead one to think that the motion away from the spectator was fairly rapid\u2014the vessel probably took a sudden lurch into the position seen in the actual picture.The upper portion of the tripod mast has been shot away, leaving only the steel yard-arm protruding.Some of the men are actually falling into the water, others can be seen grasping the torpedo netting poles.It is interesting to note that the portion of the vessel shown in the picture does not reveal any actual damage to the hull from shell fire.No holes in the armour are anywhere visible; the black marks are men falling or jumping into the water.It is also interesting to note that water is pour- IN UNCLE SAM\u2019S BIGGEST BATTLESHIP.\u2014The Super- Dreadnaught Pennsylvania, the largest ship in the ing from he two stern vents in OFF TO GUARD THE PANAMA CANAL\u2014United States soldiers of the 29th Infantry on board the transport Buford at Weehawken, New Jersey, United States Navy, was successfully launched last week at Newport News in the presence of an immense considerable volume.en route for the Panama Canal.Previous to boarding the transport the regiment marched through the streets of New York to the great de- crowd, a portion of which is seen in the illustration.light of an enthusiastic crowd.At the Canal the officers and men will guard the great waterway for an ind=finite period.le ts i's nt L ns TT lpn THE OBJECTIVE OF THE MIGHTY FLEET THAT IS NOW POUNDING ITS WAY UP THE DARDANELLES.\u2014A general view of the Golden Horn at Constantinople, showing the German cruiser Breslau at the left and the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh at the right.The Breslau, with the Goeben, was chased into the Dardanelles last autumn by the Allied Fleet, and it was reported that both cruisers had been turned over to the Turks.The Breslau, however, is still commanded by German officers.The Hamidieh was the first Turkish cruiser to open fire on Russian towns along the Black Sea Coast. gp SEA \u2014\u2014 2 2 THE STANDARD, MONTREAL, CANADA, MARCH 27.1915.eo En With the Cheers of Hundreds of Their Compatriots Ringing In Their Ears the Officers and Men of Ca\u201d.A MODERN VALLEY OF DEATH HE war has resolved itself into a struggle for the attainment of ap- FRENCH-CANADIAN BOYS WHO WILL AID BRITAIN IN SUPPRESSING GERMAN BARBARISM.Amherst, N.S., en route to the firing line in France.of the most popular officers in the Canadian Militia.it now occupies more commodious quarters than it had at St.Johns.each one of these points round which a desperate strife is waged from time to time, may make the whole difference to the security of some part of the Allies\u2019 lines or may just afford them the means of placing the enemy at a disadvantage.Those localities which have For several hundred yards in rear of the front trenches there is not only, needless to say, no living thing above ground, but there is not an object left standing which is not shattered in some way or other.All the ground near the front \u2014The above remark This Battalion is composed entirely of French-Canadians, in fact, In its ranks are many representatives of families famed in Canadian history.The Battalion will cross the ocean when the next detachment of those of the enemy wind in every direction.In a sheltered spot there is a little graveyard where some of the British dead have been buried, their graves carefully marked, and a rough square of bricks placed round them.In front of the trenches the « 9 SH wT wy Ï f 1 { i } - ve ve we we + young German officer, who came on gallantly waving his sword.He almost reached the barbed wire and then fell dead.For i two days he laid there still with his sword in his hand and his 30 men round him.It was the same all along the .front in this quarter;

Q.M.S.Rebjohn, of the 20th Hussars, and his wife and baby, escaped by a miracle.They did not hear the sound of the machine, but the explosion more or less blew in the back of the cottage, and the sergeant is carefully preserving a piece of the bomb, which missed him and Mrs.Rebjohn by inches.It pursued a curious course, penetrating into the front room, and striking a side wall, smacked against the door and ricochetted back.Passing close to Mrs.Rebjohn, it struck a picture of Carisbrooke Castle, splintering the glass, and then fell to the ground.\u2018While the baby\u2019s pram was wrecked; while a shed was smashed; while windows were cracked in every direction; while, indeed, part of the ceiling \u201cof the room in which the child was sleeping in a cot fell down, the slumbers of Sergt.Rebjohn\u2019s baby were uninterrupted.Mrs.Rebjohn\u2019s coat hanging on the kitchen door, was afterwards discovered to be full of holes.The yard outside the cottage presented a deplorable appearance after the bomb had done its work, its surface being covered with all sorts of debris\u2014bricks, stones, beams, boards and glass.The baby\u2019s perambulator was completely wrecked and had the little tot been sleeping in it at the time, it's life would have been snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye.Some idea of the damage caused by the bomb can be formed by a glance at one of the illustrations on this page, the picture having been taken on the morning after the raid.Ce bataillon est compose entierement de Canadiens-francais, en effet, c\u2019est la premiere unite canadienne francaise que le Canada envoie sur le front.Dans ses rangs sont representes plusieurs familles celebres dans notre histoire.Ce bataillon traversera l\u2019Atlantique avec le prochain detachement du deuxieme contigent canadien.CANADIAN HEROES NOW ON THE FIRING LINE IN FRANCE\u2014George Mcinnerney of Rexton, N.B., who is now on the firing line in France Sa force est de 1,200 officiers et soldats et son commandant est le Col.Gaudet l'un Il est pret a bien faire les choses quand il rencontrera les Huns modernes.Trois trains speciaux ont ete requisitionnes pour son transport a Amherst THE EYES OF AN ARMY.\u2014A French Hussar re- connoitreing near the German lines in France.LES YEUX D'UNE ARMEE.\u2014Un Hussard francais en reconnaissance pres des lignes allemandes en France.ee nl ) T hey may forget \"whats rump\u201d bat\u2014 Îlhe never @rget fhat open boss ef » {| vMMEnE The -onov uen FAILED TO KiLLDuns hr: OÙ LES \u201cTUEURS DENFANTEONT DATE LEUR COUP Pad || mettle] @ Chocolates cent German air raid on Colchester, a bomb was dropped on a house where a baby was sleeping in a perambulator.Fortunately the little innocent was uninjured by the flying fragments of the bomb although the perambulator and the ceiling of the room were badly «damaged.une bomb fut lancee sur une maison ou sommeillait un enfant dans une voiturette.Le petit innocent fut par bonheur epargne par les fragments de la bombe, bien que la voiturette et le plafond de la chambre eussent ete serieuusement avaries.THE ALLIES.\u2014General Serra, recently promoted to high rank in the Italian Army.General A strong Ally for the successfiil hostess Serra is married to Miss Joseph, of Montreal.2 \u201cvu \u2014 Ae i a _-\u2014\u2014 Pa La Rie.= DE \\ [4 ; CN Ne k DARING PHOTOGRAPHER MAKES NEW YORK GASP.\u2014While hundreds of New Yorkers gazed skywards, Nelson Edwards, a daring photographer, swayed from a rope on the top of the new 30-storey Western Union building in Fulton street and made photographs of the city below.The stunt included taking views from a precarious position on a slender beam, fifteen feet out from the edge of the building.Once the nervy photographer slipped and the crowd below gasped, but he managed to grasp a beam and pull himself back to safety.THE FORCING OF THE DARDANELLES (See Page 1.) \u2018WO objects are sought by the Allies in attempting to force the passage of the Dardanelles.The first is to have a passage open through to the Black Sea, and to enable the Russians to export the enormous quantity of grain now lying in South Russia ready for shipment to Western Europe.The second is of not less importance.It is to divide the Turkish army in Asia from the one in Europe.Britons must not be in too great a hurry to see the Allied Fleets making their way triumphantly across the Marmora to Constantinople.Their greatest difficulty will be to force the Dardanelles.The guns on some of our ships will carry 15 miles, while it is doubtful whether the Turkish guns will carry more than 10.The Dardanelles, from their entrance at Kum Kale to Gallipoli, are about 27 miles long, and vary from less than a mile wide off Nagara Point and at the Narrows opposite Chanak,which is the most important town on the Dardanelles, to an average width of between two and three miles.The strongest fortifications are at the Point of Nagara Just mentioned, where the Straits turn almost at right angles, and at Chanak and the opposite, that is the European coast.The fortresses at the entrance to the Dardanelles from the Aegean are at Kum Kale on the Asiatic, and at Cape Hellas on the European shore.Both these forts have been destroyed, the first in the last days of November, and the second by Admiral Carden last Friday week.The method of the procedure of the Fleets thus far has been as follows: With their long- distance guns our ships silenced the forts, the Turks being unable to effect any injury to the Allied ships.Before advancing into the Straits boats crews were sent under cover of the guns to see that the forts were destroyed beyond possibility of speedy repair.Dredging operations immediately commenced after the forts were silenced.The mines being swept up, the ships advanced over the cleared space in order to attack other forts.Twelve miles progress have brought them actually opposite the powerful guns which have been in position during the last down channel, appears like a long neck of land stretching more than halfway across the channel.The current during at least 300 days in the year runs strongly through the Dardanelles to the Aegean at a rate of rarely less than five miles an hour, and at peninsula which forms the Northern point of the Straits is at its narrowest, and it not more than four miles across.But a range of hills extends virtually along the whole length of the Straits on the European side, varying from 250 to 600 feet in height.It THE STANDARD, MONTREAL, CANADA, MARCH 27.1915.A MOTHERLESS HERO OF THE WAR.\u2014Pte Roland Lefebvre, of the Regt.d\u2019Infanterie who insisted on accompanying his father to the front, and who was wounded in the head while performing little commissions for the men in the trenches.before the war broke out.DARING PHOTOGRAPHER MAKES NEW YORK GASP.\u2014One of the startling stunts r grapher, from the top of the new 30-storey Western Union building in New York.four years, about two miles to the south of Chanak, and, indeed, well within the range of both the Chanak and the Nagara guns and those on the European shore at Kiliji Bahir, and into the very thickest portion of the minefield.The clearing of this field has proved a big undertaking.Most of the 300 mines are contact mines, and were brought down almost ostentatiously from Constantinople in September and October.Hard fighting has already taken place in the Narrows and off Nagara Point.This point to travellers coming either up or INE CNTF TA DY XA RUE fl PEU 5 oN iy {ira A > ESA NN : y es) 3 D, Assy WG > Amy > Xl ;
