Peninsula. Under a very heavy art'i-
lery fire by the French guns the British
troops advanced on June % west OF the
Saghir River In the neighborhood OF
Krithia for a distance variously an
nounced at from 1000 yards to little
less than one mile. The official state
ment OF the War Office here says 1000
yards. The French communique places
IL at 1900 meters G,666 yards).
In the advance the troops occupied
four lines OF trenches which were
found TO be full OF Turkish dead, the
result OF the effective French artillery
fire. They occupied height west OF
Krithia In all. an Athens despatch
comments. fully 5000 Turks were killed.
Announcement OF the victory has been
received with great rejoicing. for 1t has
been weeks since any satisfaction could
be gained from the dispatches from the
Dardanelles. Instead the operations
have been criticised not only in the
press hut in the House OF Commons,
1t was known that the Allies were
held by the Turkish forces very close
to the point Of landing and that they
have been suffering terribly. Neither
the warships, which take up the daiiN
round OF bombarding. nor the field
artillery seemed TO be able TO uncover
the Turkish batteries or dislodse the
troops.
