WHOLE BATTALION
OF ALLIES LOST

Official announcement was made
in u despatch from Constantinople
that severe losses had been inilict-
ed on the French and British
troops, which landed on the CALI
poll peninsula. j.. II is said That one
entire battalion was annihllated
in an attack on the allied left
wing and that in another engage
ment the British lost heavily,
both men and war munitions.
Reports reaching London from
the Dardanelles, while containing
no details of the land lighting. say
the bombardment BY the allies
feet of Turkish fortifications is
proceeding successfully and
number of forts on both sides OF
the straits up to the narrows are
said to have been silenced.
Hopes that Italy would settle
peacefully her differences with
Austria are apparently fading as
rapidly as they We're revived a
few days ago. The Austrian gov
ernment is said to have informed
Italy of extreme concessions she
is willing to make and Austrians
and Germans in Rome are repre-
sented as having lost confidence in
a favorable outcome.
The exact status of affairs in
the great battle of western Galicia
remains in doubt, but German and
Austrian reports of spectacular
victory are increasingly optimistic.
