While this was proceeding. the 1eet,
besides covering the landing of the
troops. kept up a bombardment of the
forts in the Dardanelles and prevent
ed reinforcements from reaching Tur-
key from the sea of Marmora. One
Turkish troop ship was sunk by the
British battleship Queen Elizabeth,
which is believed again TO have been
firing her big guns across the PENN
sula, directed by airmen. The troop
ship was sunk OF Maidos. a town well
inside the Narrows, which later the
battleship Triumph bombarded and
set on fire.
The official account OF the landing
OF the allied troops does not bear out
the over-optimistic reports from Gree
ian towns which preceded II. and
which mentioned thousands OF prison
ers as having been captured. the total
of men taken by the allies being given
as 500. These were cut of by the fire
OF the ships.
Neither does the report mention
operations OF Smyrna or in the gulf
OF Saros. against the Bulair line OF
forts. but IL is certain that these points
are being watched to prevent rein
forcements reaching the Turks.
Besides the news from the Dardan-
Giles. the British public was supplied
with several sensations today. The
misleading OF the day French com
/ munication led TO the belief that the
barded Dunkirk on the North sea. in
France; but IL transpired that BY
some means. not yet explained. the
Germans had brought their big land
guns within range OF Dunkirk and
thrown shells into IL and killed twent,
persons and wounded as.
oisquieting Reports.
Another report had IL that the Ger
mans had been seen of the coast OF
Belgium, but as British war craft were
bombarding Ieebrugge during the
greater part OF last night. and again
today. this seems doubtful.
Another sensation came from ~,

Inolcalon in what force the Germans
