that TIE wage advances granted were
very small.
The increases aggregate, according

ALLIES PROGRESS
TOWARD NARROWS
Anglo French Troops Said to Be
Making Substantial Gains
Under Protection of
Naval Guns.

London. May 4.-No further official
announcements nave been made con-
corning fighting in the Dardanelles,
but unofficial dispatches agree that
the allies are progressing toward the
narrows under cover Of the fire of their
naval guns, which are inflicting great
damage on the Turkish d~efenses, in
Guiding the reported total destruction
OF the town of Dardanelles. A late
Turkish official announcement claims
q victory near Gaba Tepeh. in h Gal
lipoli peninsula, which is said to have
resulted in the retreat of the colonial
British troops to the shelter Of their
w%arships. This account, however, does
not agree with the British official re-
port published Saturday, which de-
clared that the British were resuming
the offensive, after a stubborn resist
ance on the part of the Turks.
According to British advices, the
bombardment of the Dardanelles forts
continued Saturday and that great
damage was inflicted by the allies. The
Turkish war office, however, asserts
that no action was undertaken on
that date. French troops are reported
to have made another landing on the
Asiatic side. after withdrawing from
the position first occupied while the
British were landing IN the opposite
side of the Gallipoli peninsula.
