DESPERATE STRUGGLE
IN DARDANELLEiS

Paris. June 23.-The following COM
regarding the operations of
the French troops at the Dardanelles
was issued here today:
The expedtionary corps in the
east delivered an attack yesterday.
After preparation by the artillery our
infantry dashed from the trenches
with superb elan. Our left wing car
ried two lines of the enemy's trenches
at single bound and held them de-
spite several violent counter-attacks.
ION our right where the terrain
was more difficult. the fight went on
throughout the day on the lines of
demolished field works The enemy,
by sending fresh troops to the scenes
INCREASINGLY, had succeeded in retak-
ing his entrenchments when a battal-
ion of Zouaves and battalion of the
foreign legion reca ptured the posi-
tions in a bayonet attack of ten min
utes.
This brilliant charge made our
success certain and put an end yes
terday TO the efforts of the Turks to
retake the lost ground
In counter offensive this morning
on our right the enemys forces were
annihilated without having accom-
pnshed anything. In fine. the day
terminated with success for our arms
along the whole line.
In spite OF the desperate nature
OF the struggle, we captured severa'
prisoners. among whom were several
officers The battleship st, Louis eff
fectiveiy bombarded the batteries on
the Asiatic side of the strait.
"0n our left the British army gave
us efficacious Assistance. Everything
confirms the belief that the enemy's
losses were very hiRh.-The important
point is that we have occupied the
terrain commanding the head of the
ravine of the Kerevese River. which
the Turks had defended with despera.
ton for several months"
