Graateat Naval Power of World Now Attampting to Raduc* Strongest Land Fortification*—Mehmed V. Grants In- tervlew to Correspbndents and Lauds Valor of His Troops and the Germans.
Constantinople.—One of the most In¬ teresting developmenta that the war has brought about i» the great effort of the uliies to force the Dardanelles strait and* the superb resiHtance that the Turkish defenders, a.sslsted by the Gentian officers, iiave Ijeen able to dis¬ play. This bombardment, in which the strongest narai powers in the world are attempting to reduce the strongest land fortllicntions In the world, will go down in history as the most spectacular naval engagement of till time. 0
Ka< b shot fired by the allied fleet is felt Id all parts of the world. Stored away In Itus.sia, without an outlet, there are tliousnuds and thousands of bushels of wheat that the world is clamoring for. Unless the forts are forced it must remain there, for there is no other outlet. If the strait Is peu- ctrated, however, this grain will flood the world's markets aud the price of wheat will be reduced all over the globe. The allies are confident that they can reduce these remarkable fortifica¬ tions. The defenders are likewise cer¬ tain that the task is impossible. Thi.'* is what the sultan of Turkey said to a group of Ainerlcaii con-e.spondents:
"I am convinced that the Darda¬ nelles cniinot be forced. The brave conduct 't the Turkish troops In the recent operations against the strait permits me to conclude that although the allies bend every effort nnd use every menus at their dlsjio.sui they will bo unable to achi(>ve their purpose."
The various phases of the bombard¬ ment were discussed by his majesty In a manner demonstrating that he was well informed on the affair.
Mohmed V. was in a most cordial fniuie of luliiii. Mauy of the incidents reiatwl l)y the corrcsiiondciits brought to the sultan's face broad smih's of satisfaction, aiipreclatioii and amuse¬ ment. How the corresiiondents had l)een obliged to naaie a hasty retreat when Kale Snltania was riniched by tbe allies' slielis appeared to be of spe¬ cial Interest to his majesty.
When one of the correspondents told the sultan that lie had been made ner¬ vous In Chanak ka Essi by the explo¬ sions of large shells, which impelled him to stoop at every detonation, and how an old interpreter, who also was retreating, touchcKl hlni on the arm each time, saying. "Yock kismet," the sultan was much amusinl nnd touched the newspaper man on the shoulder in a most fatherly fashion and proce9ded to explain that the use of the word "kismet" was Improper under such cir¬ cumstances.
"The old man should have used the word 'kader,' because that term ex¬ presses more fully what he wanted to convey,"' said his majesty. "The word 'kader" means that our fate Is in the hands of n superior force and that what is to happen will happen anyway. The Idea is known among you, I believe, blh fatalism. But 'kader' alone will not do. We also must work."
This incident disposed of, his.majes¬ ty asked the correspondent to continue his description of the sinking of the French warship Bouvet and the British Irresistible. That the Bouvet had dis¬ appeared within three minutes brought a look Into the kindly gray eyes of his majesty as if he regretted that so many human beings had perished without a chance to flght for life.
The sultan then asked if his troops appeared to be happy and contented. The answer being emphatically In the affirmative, a new smile of satisfa<*tlon lit up'bls face.
"It has been said that it was the factor of luck that made our victory on March 18 so complete and great," he remarked, "but we lu the Turkish have a saying, 'Luck Is infattiated with the efficient.'
"It appears very unjust to me that the allies want to force the Darda¬ nelles aud take Constantinople Just to import foodstuffs from Russia. But our army and coast defense force have «hown their nbllity and willingness to do their duty. I am speaking here not alone of the Turkish defenders of the Dardanelles, but also those Germans who have so efficiently and bravely co-operate*! with tbem.
"I would thank you if you would say for me that my admiration for the German troops in the east and the west is so great that it is impossible ^or uic to express in words my hijjh iililiii'.m (.f their valor and efficiency. (•iiiv ..;,,.j; tliolr chief commander, r.;! • \\'illinm, I can onlyi say that t^^' !¦: I ^. -y pray that he thny enjoy li!' '1 -: I r lie;ilth for many years." T'li' •j'.ltaii was' Informed that Em- I m: Willi.im was sending with Field I;ir-.'ial von der Goltz Iron crosses of he fii-st and second I'lnsae.s. with which he intended to decorate his majesty, tnd the sultnn api>eared hUfhly plena- ed. *'I am proud of tieing presented irlth medals which decorate ao many >M*ve men," tie said.

Getting Away From Land. The question has been asked. Is It possible to sail 1.0(X) uilies from land? This can Iw done at several jioints. By leaving San Framiscij and sailing northwestward into the north raclflc a spot is reache<l wliere there is no land, not even an islet, for 1,000 miles in an.v direction. So. too, sailing from the southern P'^hil of Kamchatka soutliwestward shii)s reach a point equally distant from land of any kind, the nearest to the north tieing the Aleutian Islands and to the south the outlying members of the Hawaiian group. In the southern Indian ocean it Is possible to sail 1,(XK) miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand and still be as far from any other land, and the same may be done In a westerly dlreitlon from C'ai)e Horn. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reached, for the southern Pacific be¬ tween the Horn nnd New Zealand cov¬ ers n space of 80 degrees of longltu<le and 40 of latitude of absolutely un¬ broken sea. making its Central iioint over 1,200 miles from anywhere.

PLAYS TUBA ALL DAY LONGL
After Twant)-seven Hours ef Slewing He Orank Gallons of B*er.
New York.—I-ambaertus Johannes de Jung Ha.ts he ia tJie champion tuba player of the world. He plays tbe big bom in the band of the Holland-Amer¬ ica liner Potsdam, recently In port here. Lambaertus says be won tbe championship about a year ago In a rontesi at Rotterdam with Rintje Vou- terlnus. also a celebrated Holland tubist.
In this conteat De Jung played for twenty-seven hours continuously, easi¬ ly outdistancing his competitor, who blew himself out at something over twenty-three hours, .\fter this long period of playing Lambaertua said he was not particularly tired but very thirsty nnd had thirty-four seldels. which was also a record. It was said, even for Rotterdam.
From constant iilaying the lung pow¬ er of I.ambaertus has developed to such an extent that he oftcu has to ruiy'around the de<k several hours lie- f<^ playing. Otherwise, he says, the tremendous pressure might blow the. lining out of the tuba. When steam is low in the boilers he Is often called upon to blow the Potsdam's whistle. This is especially helpful In a fog. economizing on steam.
I.aiubaertUH halls from Leyden aud has been an expert on the tuba ever since he can remember, as his father was before him. He has many decora¬ tions and is al.so barrel shaped to a great extent, as tuba players often be¬ come, according to Dr. Taft, the ship'.-; surgeon. This makes him an expert wrestler. He has phiyed the PotsdMiii in and out of Hobokei» for six years.
