EE ————————— EE ——————— Lose Four Ships | in Dardanelles. The Turkish Gunners Let the Boats Come In Close and Then Opened a Heavy Fire Upon Them. Several Americans are reported te have been killed in a battle with Mex ican bandits, who raided the town of Dwyer, in Grant county, N. M., south: ! east of Silver City. They lost three mine clearing ships and one sailing vessel. Considerable damage was inflicted on one British cruiser, under whose protection the operations were undertaken. The iden tity of this cruiser has not been es tablished. The British vessels arrived well in side the entrance to the Da.danelles, off ‘Kuni Kale. The cruiser imme: diately began a heavy bombardment of the searchlight positions of the Turks. This was continued for some time, but without effect. At three o'clock in the morning the mine sweepers wera sighted from shore. The Turkish gun ners permitted them to come in close and then opened fire, sinking the three mine sweepers and damaging the cruiser. The sailing vessel had been sent into the mine field to take observa: tions. She struck a mine and sank The cannonading was unusually heavy. No° further bombardment was un: dertaken by the allied fleet for the day. One warship entered the bay in the afternoon, but withdrew shortly afterward. On March 8, 9 and 10 there was no bombardment. Only unimportant operations have -been undertaken by the allied fleet for the past few days. The activity of the warships has been limited to de monstrations. Two new attempts by cruisers and destroyers to approach the outer fortifications and clear the channel of mines are reported to have been futile because of the effective fire from the defenders. The Vali of Smyrna went on board the British flagship after the bom: bardment of that port and held a con: ference with the British commander, during which the shelling was sus pended. No agreement was reached, . and the Vali on landing gave ont a proclamation saying he would resist to the end. MIGHTY BATTLE NEAR Allied Operations Prelude to General Offensive on Western Front. Neuve Chapelle and St. Eloi, in the west, are pivots of the battle areas in which struggles that may mark ime portant milestones in the war are now being fought. ; : "The outcome of the ‘Fight ‘for Neuve Chapelle, from which the British have driven the Germans with a loss of nearly 20,000 men, should prove, in the opinion of British observers, whether the Germans can mass men and retrieve ground lost by them with the same battering tactics they em: ployed last year. If the British can hold the positions gained by them it will go far toward attesting what may be expected when the allies begin their spring advance. It may now be stated authorita | tively that the next two or three months of the war will see the open: : ing of the greatest offensive move: ment in history. Present armies, | enormous though they are, will be so! far eclipsed by the forces that will be sent to the front that even the battle | of the Marne will resemble a skir mish in the comparative number of men engaged. The British casualty list for the five | days from March 10 to March 14, in- | clusive, during which the battles of Neuve Chapelle and St. Eloi were | fought, show that 112 officers were killed or died from wounds and that! 193 ofiicers were wounded or are mis. : sing. | The list of casualties among the men has not been published as yet, nor have any figures been given out; | but some ccmpetent critics estimate them at about two-thirds of these suf: | fered b ythe Germans, which Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander-in-chief, said were be: tween 17.000 and 18.000 Millinery Announcement. the Trustee of said estate of the balance to and i nia, on Friday, the 9th day of April, 1915, A.
