- With the battle in Flanders SEEM
ingly at an end, says a London dis
patch Of yesterday, except for attacks
the allies are making to recover the
rest of the ground they lost last
week, the interest Of the public has
turned to the Dardanelles, where
French and British forces, with the
cooperation Of the fleet, are attempt
ing to force the straits and open the
way to Constantinople. How far these
operations have progressed only those
on the spot and the highest authori-
ties at home know. The British have
landed at three points on the Gallipoli
peninsula and have thrown line
across the outer point Of the peninsu-
la. Other British troops are threat
ening the Bulair line of the forts and
the French are looking after the
Turks on the Asiatic side of the
straits. The Turks report that all
the landing parties have been repuls-
ed but British reports, which are
brief, content themselves with the
statement that progress is being
made and ignore entirely the Turkish
claims. Along the western front in
France there is much activity but no
big battle is in progress, although
there are reports that the British have
begun an offensive in the neighbor-
hood of Armentieres. The Germans
apparently do not contemplate q
movement in force on the western
end of the line, as they reopened
yesterday, the Belgian-Dutch frontier,
always closed when the Germans are
on the move. Heavy fighting continues
i'm the Carpathians for Uzsok pass,
and in the direction of Stry, where the
Austrians are threatening the Russian
communications. Berlin reports that
the Austrians again have invaded
Bessarabia, but there is no confirma-
ton Of this i'm the Austrian official
statement received last night. The
Russians again have taken the Of
fensive against the Turkish invaders
of Persia and have driven them from
the border town Of kOtur. Dispatch
es from neutral countries report that
great concentration of Austrian
troops is taking place on the Italian
frontier as measure against the
possibility of Italy joining the allies
and that troops are being conveyed
by sea to every coast town i'm Dali
malta and lstria.

as Mail Matter of the Second Class
YORKVILLE. 8. c.,
FRIDAY, APRIL, 30, 1915.

There was a story in the papers
the other day TO the effect that Ger.
many was sending a fleet to attack
the coast Of Canada. There appeared
to be very little more to the story than
mere rumor, and we are inclined to
think that this is about all there Is to
it. Although England has lost many
ships, she is still able to outnumber
the Germans. 1t seems probable that
the German fleet will soon take go
at the British: but if so that go will
likely take place close to home.
