Guns Used In Heavy
Bombardment.

II ONDON, March G.--(9:15 p. m)
L. The British battleships Queen
Elizabeth and Prince George and the
battle cruiser InfleXiDle, with their
eight 15-inch guns and an even dozen
12-inch guns, yesterday opened an at
tack on the principal forts on the Eu-
ropean side of the narrows in the
Dardanelles.
Two Of the forts were damaged and
the magazine of a third was blown
Up. These forts, which guard the
narrOWest part of the straits from the
European side, are believed to be the
strongest along the entire waterway,
although those on. the opposite side
Of the narrows almost equal them.
one Of these forts, marked on the
admiralty maps as H. is armed with
two 14-inch guns that could hardly
reach the Queen Elizabeth, which
fred 90 rounds from her 15-inch
weapons by indirect fire and had the
advantage OF aeroplGnes to direct her
gunners The two other forts are
armed with three 1l-inch guns ana
some smaller cannon.
Lighter Cruisers Active.
Meantime lighter cruisers continue
attacks on the fortihcations along the
coast of Asia Minor, from BeZtka,
which Is near the entrance TO the
DaIdaneles to Smyrna, doubtless with

being sent to the straits where there
already are a large number of Turk
ish troops with whom the marines,
who were landed to complete the de-
struction of the forts at the entrance
t. the straits, have been in contact.
1t was In this land fighting that the
allies suffered casualties, according to
the British report of l9 Killed, 20
wounded and three missing. The
Turks, however, place the British cas-
ualties at q higher figure.
Tonight's official dispatch from the
admiralty disclosed that the East In
dies fleet. under Vice Admiral Sir
Richard Peirse, who is flying his flag
or the Euryalus has Joined the allied
feet and that he undertook the bonn
bardment of the Notifications of
Smyrna, which was seriously dam
aged.
