London, April 2S.-Ihe Allles nave
now stretched the lines of their land
ing columns entirely across the CALI
poll Peninsula preparatory TO an ad-
vance on the Turkish Notifications
which line the European side of tho
Dardanelles Straits. They are estab-
lished from a point northeast of Eski
Hisarlik, which is about five miles
from the tip of the peninsula on the
Dardaneles side, to the mouth of
stream on the Egean coast.
The War Office report, issued to-
night, which contains this information,
also says that the Allies have driven
off the Turks at Sari Bair, and are
continuing their advance.
A Berlin dispatch states that HALL
Bey, former president of the Turkish
Parliament, who is now in Berlin, re-
ceved a telegram from Constantinople
last night stating that 5000 French
and British soldiers had been driven
to the sea, and that 10000 had been
captured by the Turks as result OF
the attempt of the Allies to land forces
to attack the Dardanelles Notifications.
Turks Claim Victory.
Another Berlin telegram states that
a we'll authenticated report has
reached the German capital that the
left wing of the Allies landing force
on the Gallipoli Peninsula, which Cen
eral Liman Won Sanders, the German
commander of the Turkish forces, re-
ported yesterday as holding out, has
now surrendered to the Turks. Still
another, sent by wireless from Con-
stantinople, declares that General
Liman Won Sanders has announced that
the centre and right wing of the Allies
have been completely defeated, and
that there is hope that the left wing
also is beaten.
The British War Office official state
ment makes no reference TO the re-
ported surrender of allied troops.
1t is expected that the operations
against the Dardaneiles will proceed
slowly, as the Turks are strongly in
trenched, and their wire entanglements
and trenches will have TO be heavily
shellod before the troops can make any
serious attempt to advance.
Column Across Peninsula.
Following is the bulletin issued to-
night by the War Office:
an the face of continual opposition
the allied troops have now established
themselves across the end of the Gall
lipoli Peninsula, from point northeast
of Eski Hisarlik to the mouth of a
stream on the opposite side.
They have also beaten off all attacks
at Sari Bair and are steadily advancing.
"The Turks have made considerable
preparations to hamper any landings.
Wire entanglements under the sea, as
we'll as on land, and deep pits with
spikes at the bottom were among the
obstacles overcome by the troops"
Porte Announces Success.
An undated official communication
from Constantnople which was re-
ceved here tonight through Amster-
dam says:
The enemy has renewed his at
tempts against Kaba Tepeh and the
south coast Of Gallipoli, but was sue
cessfully repulsed.
Fresh forces Of the enemy yesterday
attacked near the coast at Kun Kaleh.
but were obliged 20 retreat, abandon
ing three machine guns
A Reuter- dispatch from Athens says
adyices from Constantnople state that
the Turkish authorities have arrested
about four hundred Armenians there,
including the Patriarch, on the pre-
text that it has been discovered prep
arations are under way for rising in
the Armenian provinces.
