LONDON, July 7.--(s p. m.)--The
Turkish forces completely failed in
the attack which they began July 4
against the AnglO-French forces on the
Dardanelles. according to statement
issued today by the official press bu-
reau, which added that the Turks lost
heavily.
The text of the statement follows:
General Sir Ian Hamilton reports
that the night Of July 3-4 was quiet in
the northern section. but at a. m. the
enemy started a heavy bombardment
of the trenches. All the guns used
previously against us and some new
ones were in action. but the lombard
ment died away about a. m. with
out doing much damage. During the
bombardment about twenty 11.2-inch
shells were dropped from a Turkish
battleship in the straits.
'"In the southern section the Turks
kept up a heavy musketry fire along
the whole line during the night and
did not leave their trenches. At 4
a. m. their batteries started the most
violent bombardment that has yet
been experienced. At least 5000
rounds of artillery ammunition were
expended by them.
:. m sanwhils ffiis shelling OF our
lines on the peninsula proved the pre-
liminary to a general attack on our
front. with special efforts at certain
points. The principal effort was made
at the junction of the royal naval di.
vision section with that of the French
Here at 80 a. m. the Turks drove

royal naval division. Some fifty

supports and the men who had retired

again.
Another attack on the right of the
Twenty ninth division section was
practically wiped out by rifle and ma
chine gun fire On our left the Turks
massed in a nullah to the northeast
of our newly completed trenches ant
attempted several attacks. None o
these were able to get home. owing tt
the steadiness of our troops and ou
effective artillery support The BON

made on our line. the enemy added

casualties. II seems plain from tn
disjointed nature OF his attack tha
he is finding it difficult to drive hi
infantry forward to face our fire.
