There must be no false Illusion as to
the big task before the allies The war
here is q question of how many men
you can afford to lose to capture each
trench and each kiIometer of soil Vic

The positions already won prove that
the Turk was justified in believing his
positions were impregnable.
The navy has achieved an equally
fine organization for the landing of d

tions. Piers have been built out into
deep water, so that the largest lighters
can come alongside Roads have been
cut along the cliffs to increase the area

efficiency.
"At night the southern end of the Cal
