THE RED CRESCENT.
CONSIDERATE ACTS. There have been a great many rumours of atrocities on the part of the Turks at Gallipoli, but one incident (says the special correspondent of the Argus) is rather contradictory. In the course of their heavy work after the fight at Cape Holies the Australian ambulance service had 400 wounded men collected on the beach awaiting attention, on which the enemy's fire '\a.s turned in such a direction that* it was .-fuite in-possible for the surgeons to roach them. The injured men lay without attention for a wK'le. hut a. detr-chment of the Red Crescent medical officers was seen to c.)irie down to the beach, and they dressed all the wounds, after signalling that if a boat were s»nt ashore th? patients might bo remove*!. This was done without nnv misnap, and if' was afterwards found that the incapacitated soldiers received the best- possiblo attention.
