London, June (i0.30 D. m.)--A
dispatch from Mitylene that COM
bined general offensive against the
Turkish positions began yesterday.
and Winston Spencer Churchill's
statement at Dundee that the allied
forces are within few miles of vie
tory are taken as an Indication that
things are moving a little more quick
ly on the Gallipoli peninsula, where
the Anglo-Freneh troops are fighting
for positions which will give them
command of the Dardanellcs.
These operations have been neces-
sarlly slow, After landing. the first
allied forces had TO be supplied with
necessary artillery and reinforcoments
TO enable them to attack the Turks
who occupied very strong positions
and have been delivering repeated at
tacks on the British and French lines.
Allies RepnIse Attacks.
Nothing official has been received
from either side for several days, but
dispatches from Athens state that the
allies have repulsed. all the attacks,
the last OF which against the Austria
lians and New Xealanders on Monday
resulted In very heavy Turkish losses.
A successful ending TO these opera
tions would he ioyfully received here
as an addition TO the heavy losses sus-
tained by thu land forces and the war
ships which are supporting them
are ia continual danger front German
~
mean an end to Turkey so far as Eu
rope ls concerned.
Turkey Is reported TO be at the end
Of her resources IN the Caucasus,
where the Russians are making steady
progress and the Turks may have to
meet an Italian landing In Asia Minor.
Heavy Fighting In Galicla.
Heavy fighting Is stil in progress
In Galicia. where the Austro-G Germans
are attempting an encircling move
ment against Lemberg. such az proved
successful at Przemvsl., In this, the
fortunes are fluotuating, The Austro-
Germans appear to be making pro-
gress from the southwest. while their
left wing Is held up on the lower
reaches Of the san river. and their
extreme right In eastern Galicia and
ed by the Russians.
Tho attempted German offensive In
the west seems TO have failed. as Ber-
lin admits today the loss OF the sugar
refinery at Souchea, which y consid-
cred an important position and TO gain
which many lives have been sacri-
ficed. Fighting. however. Is rtill go
ing on between the Germans and Brit
ish at IIooge, FIRST one and then tho
ether taking the offensive.
Submarines Active.
Although Mr. Churchill, the former
first lord of the admiralty, announced
that the submarine menace has been
fixed within certain limits, the Ger
mans have been very successful In
this warfare in the last few days, par
ticularly against fishing craft, al
though such craft, under The Hague
treaty, are supposed to be immune
from attack. Since Wednesday. the
Germans have sunk five steamers,
three Of which were British, one DAM
ish and one Swedish, twelve British
trawlers and two sailing vessels.
The German total for the week end
ing Wednesday was eight British ves-
sells, out OF a total of 1900 measuring
800 tons and over, which arrived at
or departed from British ports.
Concerning the operations on tho
italian frontier the advices are very
meager, but British military experts
gather from them that the Italians.
without much opposition are occupy
ing positions which are likely to prove
Of the greatest importance when tha
big battles begin.
