London, April 3.-While the campaign
OF the allies against the Turks in the
Dardanelles theater has not been aban-
doned, it was admitted in admiralty cir
Giles today that the reduction OF the Turk

much larger force than was original

The comparatively easy reduction Of

strength of the inner works. The Anglo

both powerful and cleverly constructed,
