Turks Lose 2,000 in
Attack on Gallipoli
(By International News Service.)
CAIRO, May 22.—Two thousand
Turks were killed and 5,000 wounded
In an attack by the Turkish troops
against the fortified positions of the
Austrian and New Zealand troops on
the penisula of Gallipoli on May 18,
says an official statement issued here
to-day. The British lost 500 men.
Impeachment proceedings will be
preferred against Mayor Woodward
at the adjourned meeting of the City
Council Monday afternoon, in all
probability.
Following the action of the confer
ence of Councilmen in the office of
Alderman Albert Thomson Friday
night, which was attended by ten
members. Councilman Charles W.
Smith and Alderman C. H. Kelley,
acting as a committee appointed oy
the conference, proceeded Saturday to
draw a bill of impeachment against
the Mayor. It will be on the grounds
that the Mayor failed to do his duty
in declining to preside over the •lec
tion of a City Purchasing Agent.
In addition to the ten men who at
tended the conference, the opponents
of Mayor Woodward claim nine more
certain votes, and they state they are
confident of securing the necessary
additional one.
The Mayor's Views.
Friends of Mayor Woodward, who
have oeen inclined to treat lightly
the impeachment talk, said Saturday
that they now realized the situation
to be serious. Mayor Woodward him
self said:
“It is entirely too much fuss over
such a little matter. I declined to
preside over the election because
Council's authority to elect a Pur
chasing Agent was not brought about
in a legal way. 1 know there are
some members of Council who would
put me out without any charges, if
they could; but I know' there are
enough conservative men there to
block any foolish action.”
Some w'eeks ago City Purchasing
Agent W. E. Chambers, on the advice
of Mayor Woodward, turned down the
lowest bid for brick for the pavement
of South Pryor street, the low bidder
being Shelby Smith. Council had
asked for the bids, and Council pro
ceeded to override the Mayor and ac
cept Mr. Smith’s bid.
Immediately after this action,
Councilman Smith offered an amend
ment to the ordinance creating the
purchasing agent which would take
the appointment of the agent from the
Mayor and make him elective by
Council. Under the old law, the pur
chasing agent served at the pleasurt
of the Mayor, but the amendment fixed
his term at two years.
Vetoed by Mayor.
Both branches of Council voted to
gether for the amendment, but when
the aldermanic board met the follow r -
ing Thursday it passed it again. May
or Woodward vetoed the ordinance
some days after the meeting of the
aldermanic board.
The real fight started at the next
meeting of Council, when the point
was made that the minutes of Coun
cil showing the paper to have required
separate action were incorrect. The
point was sustained by a majority
vote of Council, and the amendment
declared a law because the‘.Mayor had
not disapproved it within the legal
time limit. As a precaution. Council,
with both bodies again voting togeth
er. later went through the form of
overriding the Mayor’s veto. j
Two weeks later, which was Mon
day. Mayor Woodward declined to
preside when Councilman Smith call
ed for an election of a purchasing
agent.
Both City Attorney James L. May-
son and Assistant City Attorney W.
D. Ellis, Jr., sustain the action of
Council, and they have advised that
Council must submit or start im
peachment proceedings.

LONDON, May 22.—Lord Kitch
ener has refused to retire from
the war secretaryship under fire.
He has decided to fight his foes to
a finish. His friends declared to
day that Kitchener had the full
backing of Premier Asquith, For
eign Secretary Grey and Chancel
lor Lloyd-George, the powerful
“triumvirate” o* the Cabinet, and
that they had indorsed his inten
tion of staying in office.
By J. L. GARVIN.
(Editor Pall Mall Gazette.)
LONDON. May 22.—We refrained,
in the public interest, from writing
yesterday. Matters then were not
quite w'hat this morning’s newspa
pers suggest. In the interval they
have altered still more, and for the
worse. Astounding newspaper at
tacks upon Lord Kitchener have cre
ated an overwhelming sentiment of
public Indignation and have moved
the Secretary of War, whp seemed
weaker on Wednesday, more power
ful and popular than ever to-day.
There is no mistake about that.
No matter how circumstantial the
suggestion may seem at the moment,
it must not be assumed that Sir John
French is in any complicity, direct or
indirect, with these attacks on his
chief. The scandal, however, must
be probed to the bottom and certain
steps have been taken to do it. It
seems to have been forgotten that
Lord Kitchener is still Minister of
War, with full powers (has it been
remembered how wide they are?) be
longing to that office. In other words.
Lord Kitchener, under the King, is
head of the army, at home and
abroad.
Fundamental Issues Raised.
Coming concurrently with other
things, fundamental issues, duty and
discipline in connection with both
services, are raised. These Issues
must be clearly settled in such a
fashion that the principles of discip
line and duty involved shall never be
questioned again.
We can not have moral anarchy in
this nation in time of war. or any at
tempt to play fast and loose with re
sponsibility.
The opinions of Lord Roberts are
quoted, but they are not fully quoted.
We are in possession of another opin
ion which was held by Lord Roberts.
The country is confronted by a po
litical situation of far greater diffi
culty and danger than was expected
last Tuesday. To find the right so
lution, it would require greater
statesmanship and good judgment as
well as thorough courage and deci
sion.
We said Wednesday that the alter
native was coalition or chaos. Now,
unless we are very careful, we shall
have both coalition and chaos. There
is no object in coalition—it could only
compromise the statesmen forming a
part of it—unless it is to mean a
definite Increase In both executive ef
ficiency and national union.
