DARDANELLES ATTACK
PROVES intermittent
Admiral Bettolo. Former Italian
Minister Of Marine, Says Strong
hold Can Be Taken.

LONDON, April 1o.-Four battleships
and four cruisers conveying several
transports were seen yesterday from
Dedeaghatch steaming toward Enos, or
the Gulf of Saros. according TO . dis
patch to the Times from Sofia. The
warships opened fire on Turkish posi-
tions at a distance of what appeared to
be three miles After the lombard
ment had continued for about two
hours the squadron withdrew in the
direction of the Dardanelles.
The allied fleet bombarded the forts
in the Dardanelles all day Sunday and
during part of Wednesday, but Thurs
day everything was quiet IN the
straits. according to the Daily Tele-
graphs Mitylene correspondent
Says Straits Can Be Forced.
ROME. April 10.-Admiral Bettolo
who several times has been Italian
minister of marine. is quoted in an in
teryiew as declaring he always has
believed and still believes the Darda-
nelles can be forced, although the diff
culties naturally are greater than they
were few years ago. because of i'm
provements made in the defenses under
the direction of German officers.
After describing the land and sea re-
sources of the Turco German forces
Admiral Bettolo added that in spite of
this formidable array ships could tri-
umph in the end over land forces be-
cause the long range of their artillery
would enable them to destroy the coast
batteries while they were in such a
position that shells from the enemy S
guns could not reach them. One of
the essentials to success in such an
operation, he said. was the complete
destruction of each fertilization at
tackled and the humiliation of its gar
rison by the landing of troops.
Importance Of Troops.
In explaining the necessity for send
ing troops ashore to aid the feet the
Italian admiral said they would be ex-
pected to complete the destruction OF
fortif1cations. pursue retreating forces
and discover the points from which
mines and torpedoes were launched
Such a campaign, he said, should be at
tempted only after thorough prepara-
tion.
1t should be executed with daring
tempered with prudence, both of which
qualities he believed were possessed
by the British and French.
Occupation of the European shore
would be indispensable to the mastery
of the Dardanelles in the opinion OF
Admiral Bettolo, since the capture OF
Constantinople must be the ultimate
aim of the operation.
Possible Position of Russia.
Once Constantinople is occupied" he
said, the least Russia could be expect
ed to ask would be a free passage
through the straits. Her appearance in
the Mediterranean would be prepara-
tory to becoming a great naval power.
She is well equipped to assume this
position by reason of her powerful
fleet. which would be able to face the
greatest navies in the Mediterranean.
From the Mediterranean she might be
expected to expand her operations to
the oceans"
