SAYS ALLIED FLEET
 WILL CHANGE ATTACK ON THE DARDANELLES
Witness of Recent Operations Says the Cheek by Turks Was of Grave Importance-New Plans
 Necessary

London, April S.-5:S7 p. m.)-A radical change in the operations of the allied fleet at the Dardanelles is forecast by the correspondent of the Star. who has been for some time at the straits. In a dis patch from Athens he says the check received by the allies at the narrows has been sufficiently grave to make necessary decided alteration of tactics.
 The present pause he characterizes as a prelude to new attack in what is con fidently expected, he says, wll prove overwhelming force. The loss of three warships was by no means unexpected, the correspondent continued, and though 1t entails delay 1t should not cause dis quietude. He asserts there are other means at hand for accomplishing what a direct frontal attack failed to achieve. He believes it not improbable that time will show the attack was justified by the Injury done to the Turkish defenses. It is his opinion that the Turks will find 1t extremely difficult if not impossible to re- place the big guns put out of commis- sion.
