ment Captured.

London. - The official press bureau
issued the following text of a report
on the Dardanelles operations receiv-
ed from Cairo:
"On the night of Thursday the
Turks, having heavily bombarded a
small fort at the front at the extreme
right Of the French position, which
had just previously been captured by
our allies, launched an infantry at.
tack, which was repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy.
AT the same time the Turks set
fire to the Scrubin front of the left
center position occupied by a British
division, and attacked at that point
without success.
ION Friday morning Sir Ian Hamil.
ton ordered general attack on the
Turkish trenches in the southern area
Of the Gallipoli Peninsula This was
preceded by a heavy bombardment
from all our guns, assisted by the
battleships, cruisers and destroyers.
AT a given signal our troops rushed
forward with the bayonet, and were
successful all along the line except at
one spot where the heavy wire en-.
tanglerlents had not been destroyed
by the bombardment.
1.-THE regular division made good
progress on the left center, capturing
a strong redoubt and the two lines Of
trenches beyond 1t, advancing about
500 yards from their original posi-
ton.
1.-THE territorial division in the cen.
ter attacked brilliantly, advancing 500
yards and capturing three lines OF
trenches, but though they advanced
and captured the enemy'5 rearmost
trenches and held it all day and half
the ensuing night, they had to be or
dered back in the morning to the
second captured line, as both their
TANKS were exposed.
1.-THE naval division on our right
center captured a redoubt and a for
midable line of trenches in three
tiers, 300 yards to their 'front.' but
they, too, had to be ordered back
owing to a heavy enfilading fire.
1.-THE French second division al
vanced with great gallantry and re
took for the fourth time that deadly
redoubt they call LeHaricott. But tia
Turks developed heavy counter-at
tacks through their prepared commu
nication trenches, and under cover Of
an accurate shell fire recaptured it.
I'VE captured 400 prisoners, includ
ing 10 officers. Among the prisoners
were five Germans, the remains OF {
volunteer machine gun detachment
from the Goeben. Their officer Wa,
killed and machine gun was de
stroyed."
