Signalizing a Anglo-French Fleet Attempts to Force the Dardanelles Capture of Constantinople Is Aim of the Allies inumph of the inventive genius of the electrical wizards who have planned and executed this marvel of the twentieth century, the forty-eight, 36-inch projector searchlights were given full play by a force of sixty men after the crowds had watched the electric fountain and the scintillating Tower of Jewels for a full hour. The entire exposition burst forth into life at 7 o'clock, but it was 8 o'clock before the monster searchlights with their penetrating rays and their two and one-half -billion candle-power were operated for the benefit of the assembled throng. Many of the 400,000 visitors who had spent morning and afternoon within the gates lingered after nightfall for the grand climax of the day's festivities.

The much-heralded illuminative features proved equal to the stories told by the exposition boosters, and as the" monster searchlights played about the exhibit palaces and flashed through the already brilliantly studded zone, there Were eaSDS of SUrnrise anri1 nf nw nn tho nart nf of CWii .7 IPS n-ttM O-'. hi l--M-fcVv tI. i la.

It was agreed that It had been decided to force the etrails and capture There is no doubt that Russia has her hands full with the Austro-German forces and that little assistance can be expected from her at this time against the Turks. But whether the reduction of the forts fronting 'the Aegean sea would open the way through into the Black Sea was a question on which authorities disagreed tonight It would help, of course, but the entire Dardanelles is strewn with mines and the Turks can be depend e'd. on to strengthen their fortifications along the narrow waterway In every way.

That the attempt is to be made seemed certain and the admiralty was the center of interest throughout the evening.

LIFE AFTER SUN HAS SET, The exposition at night seems due to take a prominent place in the amusement life of the hav cities. It in nt nio-ht tkot zone is in full sway and tonight it remained open until midnight. The crowds that packed the exhibit palaces during the daylight hours were emptied into the amusement district just at dusk and they waited for the lights and the music and the sparkling, dashing, rainbowed fountains scattered all over the grounds.

The zone has come into its own. Although not all complete and with a number of concession' still in ha nut In nine on a others waiting to be finished, it proved-the magnet for at least half of the gay throng which spread itself over the Exposition acres today and tonight.

The presence of the submarine In the Irish Sea was an unpleasant surprise. He Is on the direct route of the fastest mail steamers in the world, channel steamers Ulster, Munster, Lelnster and Connaught, which carry malls and passengers from Klngs-tow'n, the Dublin suburb, to Holly-head. It Is supposed that these vessels are the prey being sought by the Germans. But he also commands the direct entrance to Liverpool and is a most serious menace. A flotilla of British destroyers and submarines, guarded by a Bquadron of armed trawlers, was tonight sweeping the Irish Sea looking for this submarine and otherH.
