TENEDoS ISLAND
Strategic Value Of Approach to Dar-
danelles is Great.

Strategic Value Of Approach to Dar-
danelles 10 Great.
Among the advanced camps Of fore
most importance is the allied French
and English base on the small island
Of Tenedos, which lies just before the
Aegean mouth Of the Dardanelles.
The following description Of this point,
whence the great military and naval
attempt upon the formidably fortified
strait is being made. is given by the
war primer Of the National Geo.
graphic society:
1.-THE island Of Tenedos commands
the approach to the Dardanelles. lying
but eight miles southwest from the
mouth Of the strait and about five
miles from the coast Of Asia Minor.
Removed from the field Of the guns of
the Dardanelles forts, within short
steaming distance Of the waterway
under attack and within comfortable
reach Of the mainland. readily sup
piled with provisions from the neigh
boring islands and mainland ports of
Greece, surrounded by deep water,
and having an ideal anchorage for
battleships, Tendos admirably fulfills
the requirements of an advanced
base. For months now this little is
land has been abuzz with activities in
cident upon one of the most stuped-
Gus undertakings Of the allies.
"Tenedos, despite it's insignificant
size, commerce, population count. and
productivity, has been visited by many
an imposing hostile fleet and army,
brought thither by it's strategic value
as forepost on the worlds most dis
puted waterway. Aeolians originally
settled here and Persia, Athens, Rome,
Byzantium, Venice, Geno, Ottoman
Constantinople and, now, France and
Great Britain have successfully
brought it under their control. The
island has been an Ottoman posses
sion since 1922, being included under
the administration Of the archipelago
vilayet.
Uneven, rocky, almost mountain
Gus in parts, there are yet within the
16 square miles Of the islands area
some very fertile soil. There is some
fruitful garden land and rich pastur-
age, but the most important product
is wine, Of which some 100000 gal
Ions are exported each year Tenedos
supports a population Of about 1000,
only one third of whom are Moham-
medans The only town, Of the same
name as the island, Is enclosed by
roughened walls, and shelters, among
other remains from times long past,
great storehouses erected by Justinian,
storehouses, mayhap. that now are
doing service as modern arsenals."
