Tie renewed attack agains: the
Turkish positions, which apparently
is in full swing, seems to be con-
certed one. Attacks are being made
at the tip of the peninsula along tho
Kripnia, where a gain Of 200 yards on
a front of 800 yards has been made at
Sarj Barre, where an important coast
has been occupied, according to Cen
eral Sir !. Hamilton, cOmmander-in-
chief of the British forces.
Land Successfully.
ELSEWHERE" General Hamilton's
report continues, "a fresh landing
has been successfully effected and
considerable progress made"
This landing evidently was a sur
prise to the Turks, as $50 prisoners,
a number Of guns and quantity Of
material are declared to have been
taken by the British forces.
A Turkish official report supplies
the localities of two landings. At Avi
Burnu the Turks admit that the land
ing was successfully carried out, but
they claim to .lave dispersed the
troops which came ashore near Kara
chali.
Zeppelin Raid.
In their latest aerial raid over the
British coast, which occurred Mon
day night and this morning, the Ger
mans lost one of tle Zeppelin airships

ed by guntire while on it's return
home, after having dropped bombs
and was so seriously damaged that
it fell into the sea and was tOWed
into Ostend, Belgium, where allied
airmcn attacked and destroyed it.
Big Storm on Coast.
1t is believed that four or five air.
ships took part in the raid. A dis.
patch from Holland, says five more
airships passed over that country,
going in a northwesterly direction,
this morning, so that another air raid
on England is expected tonight. There
was big storm on the east coast to-
day, however, and this might make It
dangerous for airships to visit that
locality tonight.
The Austro Germans are slowly
closing in on the portions Of the Rus

They also have captured the fort.

place are approaching the Bug river.
These points are not far from the

are advancing east of Warsaw. and
those which have crossed the Vistula

.. Believed to Be Safe.
The Russians, however, are belicv-
ed in military circles here to be- fair
ly safe by now.
On the western front, German at
tacks, according to the French re-
ports, have been repulsed in the Ar

Germans south of Hogge, untenable,
and evacuated them.

here today tells of an allied air raid
