 rious attempt to ~ DpSe Darda nelles has been fairy launched.
 The Turks, under the guidance of their German officers, placed every (, tace in the way of the invaders, but against the fire of the allied fleet and the gallantry of the army. they were forced to fall back The British forces lost heavily ig the op- eration.
 Six points were selected for the landings, which commenced at day light of April 25. At five points they were immediately successful but at the sixth, Sedda Bahr, the troops were una0le to advance until the evening" The Australians and New Zealanders landed on the west coast u the Galhloli peninsula, directly
 oss the country from the strongly
 nI.ed Narrows, The other British
 disembarked at the extreme
 of the peninsula and by the 02Sth, when it was decided to give the men al rest and time to enable the positions to be consolidated they had reached Krithia, which is on the road ' which runs along the peninsula and over which they will join their com rades from the Domnions and attack the forts guarding the Narrows in the N rear.
 The French took possession of Ca Kun KaIeh after they had pre- viously attacked toward Yeni Shehr to the south on the Asia Minor coast While this was proceeding the fleet, besides covering the landing of the troops, kept up a bombardment of the forts in the Dardanelles and pre- vented achievements from reaching Turkey from the Sea of Marmora One Turkish troop ship was sunk by the British battleship Queen Eliza beth which is believed again to have been firing her big guns across the peninsula, directed by airmen. The troop ship was amk off Maidos, a town well inside the Narrows. which later the battleship Triumph bonn barded and set on fire
 The official account of the landing of the allied troops does not bear out the over-optimistic reports from the Grecian towns which preceded it and which mentioned thousands of prison CTS as having been captured the total of men taken by the allies being given as 500. These were cut off by the fire of the ships.
 Neither does the report mention operations off Smyrna or in the Gulf of Saros against the Bulair line of forts, but it is certain that these points are being watched to prevent achievements reaching the Turks.
 Besides the news from the Darda- nelles the British public was supplied with several sensations today The misreading of the day French off cial communication led to the belief that the German fleet was out and had bombarded Dunldrk, on the North sea in France, but it trans 9ired that by some means not yet explained the Germans had brought their big land guns within range of Dunkirk and thrown shells into it and killed 20 persons and wounded 45
 Another report had it that the Ger mans had been seen off the coast of Belgium, but as British warcraft were bombardng Zeebrugge during the greater part of last night and again today, this seems doubtful.
 Another sensation came from the east, where it is announced that Ger man cavalry which succeeded appar- entity in getting around the extreme right of the Russians had invaded the Russian Baltic provinces. There has been no indication in what force {t sc presumed here khat the cavalry is simply looking tnA. the ground to i'i' landed ''' '' '''' S''I 'i' '''''''' 'i';s
