The Dardanelles, the narrow chan
mel separating Europe from Asia and
uniting the Sea of Marmora with the
Greclan archipelago, is the bone of
contention that has caused the Brit
lsh naval demonstration at Mitylene.
Several treaties between the five
great powers and Turkey have con-
tirmed the provision that no shin of
war belonging to any nation save
Turkey should pass the Dardanelles
without the express consent of Tur-
key, all merchant ships being also re-
quired to show their papers to the
Turkish authorities.
A Russian vessel coming from the
Black Sea recently was not permitted
to pass, on the ground that she was a
war transport and had soldiers on
board. Russia protested, the ship
was allowed to go through, and the
Sultan Of Turkey practically apollo
gized. England views this action on
the part of Russia as an effort to get
in the thin end of the wedge that
the provision of the treaty may be-
come a dead letter. The Mitylene
incident is to show both Turkey and
Russia the British lion is going to

look after his own interests at all
hazards.
There is probably no part of the
world that so teens with historical
and mythical associations as the Oar
danelles. While sailing through the
channel and stopping at the forts, as
all vessels are obliged to, one feels in
sacred waters. 1t is the ancient
Hellespont, widely known from the
story of Hero and Leander and from
Lord Byron's successful attempt to
rival the ancient swimmer. Here
Nerxes crossed by means of bridge
of boats, and Alexander the Great
performed a similar exploit. XerXes
crossed $50 B. G. to enter Europe, and
Alexander almost at the same spot
to enter Asia nearly $50 years later.
Now the Dardanelles is strongly de-
Tended on both sides with fortiflca-
tions mounting many guns of more
or less power, but some Of them being
of immense caliber.
Easily as this narrow passage is de-
Tended, nevertheless in 1907 the En-
glish Admiral Duckworth made his
way past all the fortresses into the
Sea of Marmora. The feat was also
accomplished by a Russian squadron
in the wars of the last century, but
it is probable that modern artillery
well directed would make it an al
most impossible attempt. The Brit
ish fleet in 1878 had orders to force
it's way through if permission were
refused by the Turkish authorities.
There are several forts and castles
on both sides of the Dardanelles, but
the two most important ones are
Chanak kalessi and Lilid Bahr.
| They are distant but a short mile
from each other. From the entrance
the European bank is the higher,
rising abruptly but not precipitously
from the waters edge to a height OF
from 100 feet to 200 feet. At kilid
Bahr there is low ground between the
water and the hill behind, and metal
glistening in the sunlight reveals the
fact that there are powerful batteries
almost flush with the water. On
these are Acton Krupp guns, some OF
which are mounted on earthWorls,
others on barbette.
Above on the crest of the hill some
hundred feet above the water are
most formidable batteries. These
constitute the greatest danger to an
advancing fleet, as from their eleva-
tion the shot of the fleet would pass
over them, while they would be able
to play upon the decks, the most vital
part of ironclad ships. The current,
