London. April 80 (10:30 p. nh
After serious nghting in which the
Turks offered stubborn resistance.
British troops, according 10 an official
statement issued tonight. have estab-
lished themselves on the Galllpoii
peninsula and advanced consider
able distance toward the narrows of
the Dardanelles, while the French
have cleared Cape Kun Kaleh, on
the Asiatic side of the straits, of
Turks. Thus, II may be said that the
second and most serious attempt to
force the Dardaneiles has been fair
~ launched.
The Turks under the guidance or
their German officers placed every
obstacle in the way of the Invaders
but against the fire OF thet allied
fleet and the gallantry Of the army,
they have been forced to tail back.
Tho British furces lost heavily In the
operation.
Landings Made at Six Points.
Six points Wer selected for the
landings, which commenced at day
light. OF April 25 At Eve points they
were Immediately successful. but at
the sixth. near seddul Bahr. the
troops were unable 20 advance until
evening. The Austfallhns aud New
zealanders landed son the west coast
Of the Gallipoli peninsula, The other
British troops dlsembarked at the ex-
treme end OF the peninsula and by
the 2Sth, when II was decided 10 give
the men rest and time tor enable

had reached Krithia, which Is on the
road which runs along the penlnsula,
and over which they will Join their

While this was proceeding the
fleet. besides covering the landing OF
the troops. kept up a bof1bardment
of the forts in the Dardanelles and
prevented reinforcenents from reach

The official account Of the landing
OF the allied troops does not bear out
the over optimistic reports from Gre
clan towns which preceded It anu
which mentioned thousands Of pri-
soners as having been captured, the
total of men taken by the allies be-
ing given as 500. These were cut Off
by the fire Of the ships
Neither does the report mention
operations off smyrna or in the gult
of Saros against the Bulair line OF
forts. but II Is certain that these
points ARE being watched to prevent
reinforcements reaching the Turks.
Land Guns Used at DunIeirk
Beside the news from the Darda-
nelles, the British public was sup
piled with several sensations today
The misleading of the day French
official communication led to the be-
lief that the German fleet was out
and had bombarded Dunkirk on the
North sea. but it transpired that by
some means not yet explained, the
Germans had brought their big guns
within range of Dunklrk and thrown
shells into it and killed twenty per-
sons and wounded forty-five
Another report had 1t that the Ger
mans had been seen off the coast OF
Belgium but as British war craft
we're bombarding Zeebrugge during
he greater part OF last night ana
,gain today. this seems doubtful
Another sensation came from the
,ast where Il is announced that GER
nan cavalry, which succeeded appar-
ha
light OF the Russians, has invaded the
russian Baltic provinces. There has
leen no indication in what force the
Germans are opera ling, but It is pre-
aimed here that the cavalry Is simply
oolSlng over the Russian Baltic pro-
,inces There has been no indication
n what force the Germans are operat-
ng but it is presumed here that the
avalry is simply looking over the
round to find out what opposition
Gree landed at Polangen. in the pro-
nce Of Courland, would meet with.
n military circles here 1t is asserted
hat this cavalry can, however, inter-
ere with the Russian oommunica-
ions and give the famous Russian
ossacks something TO do.
AT the other end of the Russian line
ne Russians are reported to be con
nulng TO make slow progress in the
zsok pass and to repulse Austrian at
leks on their flank in the direction
