China, Eki Hioki, and the Chinese for

IN EFFORT TO REACH coNsTAN
TlNoPLE ALLIES ARE BAT
TERINe AT TURKS.
DRIVE ON CALAIS STOPS
Germans Gain Ground About Ypres,
But England Resumes Offensive
and Retakes Much Lost
Ground.

London.-On the narrow, rocky Gal
lipoli Peninsula in Turkey and on a
restricted front stretching northward
from Ypres in Belgium, two of the
most vital struggles Of the war are in
progress. Neither has reached stage
which would permit of prediction OF
the ultimate result.
In the Gallipoli Peninsula fight,
picturesque assortment of allied
troops landed Sunday, supported by
the fire of the warships, are trying to
batter their way through thousands
of German-officered Turks in an eff
fort to force the Dadanelles-the main
gateway OF the Ottoman empire-and
reach Constantinople.
According to the British claim, the
attack is progressing, but a Turkish
communication claims that, although
the allies landed forces at four points
these forces are being beaten back to
the coast, while the Moslems in the
French ranks are deserving the tri
color and casting their lot with their
co-religionists.
Equally contradictory are the Off
cial statements concerning the fight
ing in the vicinity Of Ypres, 1t would
appear that the German offensive
north of that city, which brought them
a gain of nearly three miles, has now
reached its limit, and that although
the Germans hold most Of the ground
they gained, the question now is
whether they can retain it.
The British troops are now said to
have taken the offensive and are strlk
ing toward st. Julien, which the Ger
mans captured, while the French on
the British left not only have pushed
the Germans from Lizerne, their new
Judgment on the west bank of the
canal nearest Calais. but have crossed
the canal and hold Het Sas, ON the
east bank.
The German official communica
ton, which records no progress for
the German troops, admits that the
British took the offensive toward st
julien, but insists that the successive
attacks broke down.
