 For sane time the news from the Dardanelles from the British stanc- point has been more cheerful. While no details of the operations there have been given out, the public mas been allowed to learn that hope TOT successful issue in the fighting on tns Turkish peninsula was brighter. The renewed attempt against the Turkish positions which apparently Is in fui. swing seems to be concerted. One at- l tack is being made at the tip of the peninsula along the Kreitchia road. A gain of 200 yards on a front of 300 yards, has been made at Saribar where an important crest has been occupied, according to General Sir Ian Hamilton commander in chief of the British forces.
 Elsewhere" General Hamilton's re- port continued, fresh landing has been affected and considerable pre- gress made"
 This landing evidently was a sur prise to the Turks as 630 prisoners, number of guns and quantity of ma terials are declared to have been taken by the British forces. A Turkish of- ficial report supplies the locality of two landings. According to this forces were put ashore in the evirons of Parachali, a town on the road which skirts the north shore of the gulf cf Saros, opposite the end of the Gallipoli peninsula and near Ari Burnu. This latter place although it is not shown on available maps is be- lieved to be at the foot of Sarl Bar just north of where the Aussrlans are holding strong position. At ATT Burma the Turks admit the landing was successfully carried out, but they claim to have dispersed the troops which came ashore near KarchOchili. It is believed in military circles here that the landing at Karachali was only a scheme to disguise, the real inten- tion of the allies although it is saio that the putting ashore of strong force at this point might result iDl working around and cutting the Turk ish main line of communication with the Gallipoli peninsula above the peninsula.
 The fcrcing of the Dardanelles is realized by the military critics to be of the greatest importance for they as- sert that it is the only way that the allies can render immediate aid to the Russians and repay her for the great sacrifices she had made for the common course. In addition it is be- lieved by the military observers that success here would bring the Balkan states definitely over to the side of the entente powers in the war. Italy is understood to be prepared to lend a hand in the Dardanelles operations.
 In the latest aerial raid over the English coas., which occurred Mon- day night aLd this mOrning,the Ger mans lost ono Zeppelin airship which took part in it. It was attacked by gun fire while on its return home. af- ter having dropped bombs and was so seriously damaged that it fell into the lsea and was tawed into Ostend, Bet gium, where allied airmen attacked and destroyed it. It is believed tha, four or five airships took part in the raid. A dispatch from Holland says that five more airships passed over that country going in northwesterly direction this morning, so that another air raid is expected:
 The continual bad weather which has been prevailing in England it was believed would prevent the -Zeppelins from ccening last night and this morn in but their appearance shows ordI- narily adverse weather conditions are not a detriment to them. There was a big storm on the east coast today however and this might make il dangerous for airships to visit that locality tonight.
