The British battleship Goliath was torpedoed and sunk at the Dardanelles last night by a Turkish destroyer with the loss of about 500 lives. Of fcial announcernent to this effect was ' made teday in Lon adpn.4 4taaat aer sNita, the statement that two Turkish gum boats and a Turkish transport had been sunk -..
 A British submarine made its, way entirely through the Dardanelles straits into the Sea of Marmora, where it attacked the Turkish vessels.
 Allies Win Successes.
 The French war office announced that, successes had been won in the new offensive movement of the allies just south of the French border. It is said the French yesterday captured the fort at Notre Dame De Lorette, with many trenches: the village of Carency and most of the village of Neuville, and that hundreds of Ger mans were bayoneted and 1,500 taken prisoners.
 A despatch from Tarnow, Galicia, says the great battle in that region is nearing a conclusive phase. Terrific fighting continues to the east of Tar now. Along the Carpathian front the Austrian advance is believed to have placed the Russians in danger of be- ing surrounded.
 To Repatriate Aliens.
 The growth of anti-German feeling in England since the sinking of the Lusitania led to the announcement by Premier Asquith today of the gov- ernment's decision to repatriate all aliens over military age from coun- tries with which Great Britain is at war, as we'll as alien women and chill dren in certain cases.
 Unofficial reports from the Darda- nelles state that the allies have won important successes in their cam paign for possession of Constantinople. The Turks are said to be losing ground steadily in the land fighting, and the effectiveness of their forts is reported to have been impaired greatly by the fire of the allied warships French and British ships entered the Darda- nelles again yesterday and bombarded forts as far up the straits as the mar rows.
 The possibility of final Austro- German victory in Galicia as result of the advance from Cracow is said by the war office at Petrograd to have been eliminated. The Russians, strongly reinforced, are now occupy ing advantageous positions, the war office states. and are preparing to seek revenge. The German victory is at tributed to the concentration of more than 150, 900 of the finest German troops along short front in the neighberhood of Krosno for the sud- 1 den blow struck at the Russian line.
