5000 TURKS ARE
Slaughtered BY
ALLIED ARMIES
Reports Indicate British Oc-
cupation of Sea Side of
Gallipoli Peninsula
Guns OF WARSHIPS
Smash SULTAN'S Defense
By Mo United Press.


ATHENS, April 30.-Reports here
indicate that the occupation of the sea
side of the Gallipoli Peninsula by the
allies is practically complete The
British forces on the European side
have defeated with heavy losses,
every attempt by the Turks to turn
them back on their ship. The casual
ties among the Turks in killed and
wounded number 5000 and many pris-
oners have been made.
The British have entrenched their
various bases and are slowly feeling
out the fortified positions along the
peninsula. The heaviest fighting has
taken place in the territory between
Cape Sulva and the southern extremity
of the peninsula. There the Turks had
strongly entrenched themselves, util-
izing entanglements and masked pits,
but the big guns of the warships
smashed the traps and opened the way
for the British advance.
On the Asiatic side the French
troops are progressing along the
lines planned and in every way are
cooperating with the British. It is
stated here that the French have cap
tured more than 5000 Turkish pris-
oners.
Following the all-day bombardment
Wednesday of the forts, the heavier
ships of the allied feet remained in the
straits all night and resumed the bonn
bardment Thursday. II is stated here
that number of the Turkish batteries
in the vicinity Of Karatina have been
silenced.
The prisoners taken on the Euro
pean side are being sent to Tenedos.
