GALLIPOLI TODAY.
Two vears ago to lay. mon from
England Australia and New Zei-
and. and even from the high hills of
Nepal strove with a gallant foe
amid the dwarf holly bushes that
clothe the western slopes of the Gal-
lipoli peninsula says the London
Times. Today all 13 quiet at Gal-
lipoli. The rov.s on rows of wooden
ri oases at Anzac and Hollos nt Ni-
brunesi Point and Brighton Beach
look out ovet tiie Aegean doubtless
ns blue as ever it win; the dead wh »
lie beneath these little monuments
ot great deeds have reached their
rest. In the scrub Loe-Enficlds lie
rusting alongside .shattered Mausers.
The pebbles on th? long. bleak
beaches are niixel with shrapnel
bullets and in the sand of the dunes
vest of the Long Sap are buried
tones and scraps of lea*her clips of
corroded cartridges and shreds of
khaki clothing.
The “X inpyani” has blossomed and
‘he small green grapes cluster on the
vines. Ti e well by the Fisherman’s
’ ut has run sv eet once more. The
cave dwellings by bhrapntl Gully
Oulnn’s Post and Courtenay's are as
quiet and still as tombs. Grass and
veeds have crept oxer the winding
paths tha. thread (ho valleys an 1
skirt the hilltops. The sandbags of
’he traverses and trenches have rot-
ted and burst spilling their earth on
the litter of these battles of yester-
day. And out through the chessboard
field grave-mounds of earth that we
patted down with spade and cn-
trenching tool Eave blossomed with
wild flowers and green grass. The
warm tideless Aegean washes these
empty beaches where once thousand?
of men from the empire’s back-
tlocks made war as it had never been
n.ade before.
Two years ago 40000 men walked
these paths. They slept in these dug-
outs or in the trenches and the de-
tonation of the guns of the warships
shook loose the sand and earth above
them so that it rattled down on
their faces waking them from
• reams of home to an uncomfortable
reality. Think of those three days
tvo years ; go: Think of the water-
less fight for Chocolate Hill: of the
wounded lying in the brushwood and
waiting for the swooping grass fires
io reach their resting plate. Men
lay there unable to move some of
• hem not able to pull their water bot-
tles from their Webb slings. Think
cf them and remember them for in
all wars there was ne er a more gal-
lant forlorn hope than this one.

VON ECKHARDT MAKES
DENIAL OF ALL CHARGES
(Continued From Page One.)
our foreign diplomacy has occasioned
as in the course of this war are sur-
passed by this newest sensation” sal s
Vorwaertf. ' No word of rebuke or
condemnation is strong enough for
the man who in a responsible posi-
tion. forwards such irresponsible dis-
patches to his government. Setting
aside the moral aspect of the case for
the moment it is sufficient to sav
that he violated the very primary
dictates of prudence and caution for
after the theft of the Mexican dis-
patch Count Luxburg might have
known that his messages also were
likely to be intercepted which now
proves to bo the case.”
GOMPERS CARLES KERENSKY.
American Workers to Support Rus-
alan Provisional Government.
WASHINGTON. D. C- Sept. 15 —
Samuel Gompers president of the
American Federation of Labor has
cabled to Premier Kerensky a reso-
lution adopted by the Minneapolis
conference of the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy pledging
the support of the American work-
ing class to the new Russian de-
mocracy.
FRLM H ASK EXPLANATION.
They Are I'irst to Call Sweden to Ac-
count for Lutburg Affair.
; STOCKHOLM. Sept. 13.-(De-
layed.)—Diplomatic representatives
of the entente governments here up
to today had displayed only “natural
curiosity” as to the Swredish govern-
ments view ot the situation brought
about by the disclosures from Wash-
ington regarding cable dispatches
sent by the German minister to Ar-
gentina through Jhe Swedish legation.
From this attitude of waiting one of
action developed when the French
minuter E. Thiebaut. called upon
Foreign Minister Lindeman with a •
formal request for an explanation ot
the incident on behalf ot his govern-
ment. The other representatives of
the entente nations are expected to
follow Mr. Thiebaut’s action.
Envoys Consider Actlon-
The American. British French and
Russian ministers held a meeting to-
day. at which the situation was thor-
oughly canvassed.
News has been received of the
action of the Argentine government
in giving Count Luxburg his pass-
ports but the Argentine minister has
taken no formal steps in connection
with the affair contenting himself
with an informal discussion of the
situation.
Newspapers of pronounced Ger-
man leanings urged the government
to adopt a vigorous attitude toward
the country w hose practices they de-
clare "abusing the confidence of the
Sw«lish government and Involving a
friendly nation In a highly embar-
rassing pAsdicament are unpardona-
ble.” The German statement at-
tempting to evade the issue by rais-
ing the question concerning America
and giving no explanation or expres-
sion of regret for its own offense is
declared by the entire press includ-
ing these newspapers to be utterly
unsatisfactory and general demand
is voiced for a further statement
from the German foreign office.
Ask About Other Messages.
Much curiosity is manifested here
in the press and by the public as to
the contents of sixty-one other ca-
blegrams which as foreign dis-
patches point out were sent by
Count Luxburg through the Swedish
route and the natural suspicion has
been aroused that transcripts of other
embarrassing messages forwarded
through the Swedish intermediary
may be found in possession ot the
American governmnet.
SWEDISH AMBASSADOR GOES.
Count Wrangel Quits London on
la'ave of Alisence.
LONDON S-pt. 15.—Count A.
Wrangel. Swedish ambassador to
Great Britain and the Countess
Wrangel left London today for the
continent on a few weeks leave of
absence. Count Wrangel yesterday
had a long conference with Lord
Robert Cecil the British under-sec-
retary for foreign affairs presum-
ably on the subject of the Swediah-
Argentinian disclosures. W. F. Bost-
roem counsellor of the Swedish
legation here will take charge dur-
ing Count Wrangel's absence.

BUENOS AIRES. Sept. 15—The

ports to Count von Luxburg the
