Anzac ione ends mof successfully than
most military men thought possible the
most unfortunate chapter of tho British
arms In this war.
TUItKS'SAY STRAITS COULD
HAVE BEEN WON IN MARCH
VIENNA, Deo, 81. Had ths Allied fleet
returned to Its attack upon the Darda
nelles batteries on tho day after tho great
bombardment of March 19 last, the water
way to Constantinople would have been
surely forced, In the opinion of n number
of artillery ofllcers of the defense works
near Tschnnek Kale, expressed to an
American correspondent, who hns Just
como from tho Dardanelles front to
Vienna.
Ono of the principal batteries had for
threo of its larpo calibre guns Just four
armor-plerclnff shells each when night
ended tho tremendous effort of tho Brit
ish and French fleet. For the fourth gun
flu ehlli were left, making for tho en
tire battery n totnl of 17 projectiles of the
sort which the aggressors had to fear.
Tho battery in question wni the ono
which had to bo given tho widest berth
by tho allied licet.
During tho evening of March IS the
correspondent talked to several artillery
ofllcers from tho battery In question.
"Better pack up and bo ready to quit at
daybreak," said one of them. They nro
euro to get In tomorrow.
"We'll hold out well enough to make
them think that thoro Is no end to our
supply of ammunition. But it can't be
dono If they go about their work In real
earnest. With our heavy pieces useless
they can reduce tho batteries on tho
other shoro without trouble. Tho caso
looks hopeless. You had better take my
advice."
Tho correspondent arose early next
morning ami packed his few belongings,
keeping mennnhllo an eo on tho tower
of Kalo Sultnule, where tho Hag showing
that tho nlllcd licet was nnr was usually
hoisted. But tho morning hours pnsscd
nnd still tho danger signal did not ap
pear. Tho allied fleet evidently was not in
clined to risk more such losses bb thoso
of the previous day, when the Bouvct,
Irreslstlblo nnd Ocean went down and
five oilier ships were badly damnged.
And yet even with tho 11 remaining ships
It appenrs from tho Turkish ndmlsilons
that tho Dardanelles could havo been
forced on Mnrch 19,
This was realized In tho Turkish capi
tal. Tho court made arrangements Tor
its transfer to Ksklshchlr, Anntolln, and
tho German nnd Austro-Hungnrlnn Em
bassies also were ready to go to this
undent sent of the Ottoman Government.
In short, everybody understood that a
calamity was Impending.
