TURK LANDING
PLACE SHELLED
Defenders of GallipOli
Forced to DiSembark
by Night.

Paris, Sept 24.-The fire Of the Al
lied fleet has forced the Turks TO aban-
don during the day the work of debar-
kation Of supplies and reinforcements
in the Bay of Akbachi Sliman. SO
many vessels were sunk at this point,
which is the principal landing place in
the southern zone. that the Turks dis
embark now only at night.
This announcement is made in an
official review of the operations at the
Dardanelles. which says:
"In the Dardanelles the last weeks
Of August saw little activity. They
we're marked chiefly by artillery duels
and sapping and mining warfare. On
August 80 our mountain cannon forced
the defenders of field fortification To-
Gated in the Valley of Kereves Dere TO
evacuate tho work, and when night
came our soldiers finished its destruc-
ton. During this time our artillery
continued its fire upon the batteries
located by our aviators in the stone
fortifcations Of Achi Bsba and on the
Asiatic coast.
"The Turkish artillery is capricious.
On certain days it appears TO be lack
ing in ammunition, and its silence, es-
pecially that Of the heavy guns, is al
most complete On the other hand, at
other times its bombardment OF our
zone is as abundant as possible. We
have suffered only material damage.
"The work of our aviators on the
Bay of Akbachi Sliman, the principal
point of debarkation for Turkish sup
plies and reinforcements for the south
ern zone, has been happily completed
by the fire of the feet. Many vessels
have been thus sunk by our Allies, and
the Turks have been forced to abandon
the work Of debarkation during the day
time.
"The British submarines, whose ac-
tivity in the Sea Of Marmora is mar
vellous, have accomplished even in the
strait some particularly difficult opera
tions. On August 90 they sank two
Turkish transports in the Bay of Ak
bachi Sliman and two others between
Niagara and Gallipoli.
an the northern zone our valiant
Allies obtained on August II par
ticulerly advantageous result in effect
ing the junction Of the troops debarked
at the Bay of Suvla with those occu-
pying the heights dominating Gaba
Tepe."
