Athens, June 21-It is generally believed here that the Allies have discontinued their attacks on the Turkish Qualifications and lines on the Gallipoli. This is taken to show that the claims of the Turks that the Allies were unable to make any sub stantial advances is true. For three month the pick of the British and French fleets have been pounding a. way at the forts, supplemented during the last two months with upwards of hundred thousand soldiers, and in that time seem to have been unable to make any great impression. Ob, selete Qualifications heve been blown up, and few miles of the tip of the peninsula have been occupied by the troops, but in fact the Allies are no nearer to Constantinople and the Black Sea than they were when thev started. For five or six days last week the full strength of the bat tlships exerted the power of their guns on the forts followed by a gen eral attack of the land forces in the hope that they would be able to open the way to the city of Gallipoli it. self Defeat was their portion. hows ever, and now the conclusion Is that the Allies will try to attack Constan- tlnople by way of Bulgaria.
