FLEETS OPERATIONS
HINDERED BY GALE
Workmanship of Allied Gunners is
Spoiled Also BY Heavy Mist
Turks Will Gain On Delay.

London, March 2. The operations OF
the French and British fleets against
the Turkish fertilization on the Dar-
danelles which, during the past week,
have taken the warships of the allies
some fifteen miles through the narrow
waterway are at standstill to-day on
account of gale and heavy mist
which interfere with the Workmanship
OF the naval gunners.
The respite is likely to prove OF bene-
fit to the Turks, but the allies realizing
the necessity of pushing any oriental
movement with energy, viii resume as
soon as possible.
