Ing remained almost totally inactive
since March IS, the allies warships to-
day bombarded lightly what appears to
have been an untenanted infantry posi-
tion near tho advance to the Darda-
nelles.
Since March 1s the allies have not
made an attack OF any sort on the town
OF Dardanelles. Every allied vessel
which has penetrated the strait at
night has been met by firing from the
alert Turkish troops. and the result in
variably has been q quick withdrawal
Apparently no serious attempt to
sweep the mines from the DardaneIles
waters has been made by the allies
since March 15.
Their interest in tho Dardanelle. de-
tense works has not been lacking.
however, for every day an allied aviator
takes a fight spin over the outer end
OF the waterway.
Meanwhile weather conditions for a
bombardment have been Of the best.
Belief Is expressed here that the re-
sumption of the bombardment has been
delayed because. In addition to the ships
sunk March IS, most OF the other ves-
sells engaged were badly used by the
Dardanelles batteries. Turkish officers
say the allies are not likely to resume
their operations rs long as they are
unable to avail themselves OF a fre SUI
perior to that OF March IS, which, they
declare. was tremendous but totally In
capable OF coping with the situation.
