LONDON, August 1.-THE allies are
working feverishly and with considerable
success to open the Dardanelles, through
which they hope to pour into Russia much
needed munitions of war.
Since Saturday night, when fresh Brit
ish forces were landed on the Gallipoli
peninsula. there has been almost con-
tinuous fighting on the Krithia road In

Zealanders in the "Anzac" region, a name
taken from the initial letters Of the words

however.

These actions are believed here to
be preliminary to aa-much more ambf-

omcial Announcement.
The official announcement given out
last night in regard to the Dardanelles
follows:
1.-THE latest report from Sir Ian Ham
ilton states that severe fighting con-
tinued yesterday in the Gallipoli penin-
sula, mainly in the Anzac zone and in
that to the north. The positions occu-
pied were slightly varied in places, but
the general result is that the area held
at Amaze has been nearly trebled, owing
chiefly to the gallantry and dash of the
Australian and New Zealand army
corps.
"While to the north no further prog
ress has yet been made, the troops
have inflicted heavy losses on the
enemy, and the French battleship st.
Louis Is reported to have put out of
action five out of six guns in the Asiatic

The aboVe-mentloneu conference HAS

that any act or design
which might mean an Interference in

Once the opinion of all were united
