 The statement refers to an att tack on batteries commanding the Bay of Morto, at the entrance to the Dardanelles and. to mine sweeping operations in the first mine field. Previous official re- ports gave the impression that the forts at the entrance of the straits had been badly damaged if not destroyed; that the de- fences at the naTrowest part of the passage were under attack. and that one-third of the straits had been cleared of mines.
 The German movement in Northern Poland is developing rapidly strainins the resources of the Russians to prevent a further advance and the penetration of their fortified line.
