the secondary defenses of the straits
have suffered from the bombardment
OF the allied fleet; the other forts in

finds confirmation in the present

the Balkan states are no nearer in

were when the battleships OF the al

In spite of the optimistic tone oi

toward active participation in the
struggle.
