DARDANELLES FIGHT
 FAVORS THE BRITISH
Public Cheered By Hamilton's Re-
 port-RuSSianS Gain Strength

London, Sept. 2, 11:50 a. m.-The British public has been greatly cheered by the version of the recent tained in the official report received last night from General Sir Ian Hamilton, the British commander in chief. This report had been awaited eagerly, in view of the assertions of Constantinople that the allies had been repulsed with heavy losses.
 Sir Ian claims that his forces oper- ating on the northern section of the line captured an important tactical point commanding the Buvuk Ana farta valley to the east and north, as well as making an appreciable gain along the Australasian front.
 Clear Road to Achi Baba.
 If the British colonials now dom mate Anafarta their guns should have a clear field to fire upon one of the main Turkish supply roads leading to- ward Achi Baba. The Turks, how ever, have an alternative line of com munication with this part of their front. Constantinople has admitted no advance on the part of the aI- lies.
 Russians Stronger.
 The Russians are developing unex- pected strength in the north, where, they state, they are not only holding Field Marshal Won Hindenburg but have gained a local success near Wilma. Various changes have been | made in the Russian command, the | most important being the return of ] General Ruszky to the leadership of l the northern army.
 Berlin Reports Reversal.
 Berlin wireless reports, which i usually are a day or two in advance of the Petrograd official communica- tions, announce a reversal in the Ga lician situation as the result of a vic- of Zborow.
 Von Tfrpitz Discredited.
 The English press is keenly inter- ested in the German promises of a change of tactics in submarine war fare, and attaches considerable sig nificance to the news that Admiral l Von Tirpitz is to have a vacation. This Is interpreted as indicating that Chan ,ellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg has won a definite victory over his naval colleague in the German cabinet.
