DAY AND NIGHT ATTACKS
In the Dsrdanelles the Allied Fleet Keeps Up a Constant Bombardment Fortified Forts to Overcome.

London March 4.-lO:3O D. m.- There has been very little change in the military and naval situation in the last 24 hours While tIe Hlssians continue their progress against the Germans in north Poland they are, according to their official report, pur suing and capturing many of the re treating Austriaus in eastern Galicta and are repulsing with heavy losses persistent day and night attacks oi the Germanic allies in the Carpa thians They have not by any means yet disposed of an yof the forces op posed to them
 It is the same with the allied fleet in the Dardanelles In their h0m bombardment the warships have made greater progress than was eX pected but they still have the mos, strongly fortified part of the straits 10 get through.
 Along the western front the French are continuing their attacks in Cham pagne and the Argonne, but beyond these the only movement of any con sequence has been made north of Ar. ras. where the Germans succeeded in capturing a newly constructed French trench
 The battles in the east and for pos session of the Dardanelles are creat ing a great deal of interest as they are considered to have a very marked bearing on the future of the war. Having pressed the Germans bacN from PrZasnysZ towards MlaWa the Russians are now eXerting their ef- forts, and according to their own ac counts with success. to drive them back in the district to the north from west of Koyno to west of Grodno and at the same time from in front of 1omza These movements, if success. full might naturally be expected to force the Germans to withdraw from in front of Ossowetz which fortress they continued to lombard with ther| heavy guns.
 The Austrans continue their fierce pttacks, despite the snow and cold, against the Russian entrenchments nI the Carpathiaus. while another ot their armies, confronted with strong Russian endorsements. is falling back in eastern Galicia
 Relays of battIeships keep mp an almost continuous bombardmelt against the Dardanelles forts. They have cleared the outer straits and are now attacking the forts which line the narrows and which are considered the most difficult to deal with.
 The destruction of what the British admiralty calls Fort No 9 was a nee essary operation before the warships could move further into the straits as it was this fort that was designed to protect one of the mine depots of the Dardaneles. It was built at the waters edge of the European side of the Kepez. More important still is the work being carried out by the French ships bombarding from the sea the Saros-Bulair line of forts which stretches across the peninsula of Gallipoli at a point where it is only three miles wide So long as the guns of the warships command this neck of land communication between the forts on the European side of the straits and ConstantnOple are cut off
 One of the most welcome effects Of the bombardment as far as England is concerned is the reduction in the price of wheat which sold today in the Bristol market at from 55 to 5S saili- ings a quarter as compared with sixty shillings and over less than a fort. night ago.
