ALLIES GET GRIP UPON GAL I I Turks Claim to Have Damaged Warships. GERMANS SHELL DUNKIRK German Cavalry Succeed In Getting Around Russian Extreme Right and Invade Russian Baltic Provinces. London. After serious fighting. In which the Turks offered a stubborn resistance, British troops, according to an official statement, have established themselves on the Galltpoli l'eninsula and advanced a considerable distance toward the narrows of the Darda nelles, while the French have cleared Cape Kutn Kaler, on the Asiatic sldo of the straits, of Turks. Thus, K may be said that the second and most se rious attempt to force the Dardanelles has been fairly launched The Tuiks, under the guidance of their Gorman officers, placed every obstacle In the way of the Invaders, but against the Are of the allied fleet and the pcillantry of the army they were forced to fall back. The British forces lost heavily In the operation. Six points were selected for the landing, which commenced at daylight of April 25. At five points they were Immediately successful, but at the sixth, near Seddul Bahr, the troops were unable to advance until the even ing. On the West Coast. The Australians and New Zealand era landed on the west coast of Gal llpoli Peninsula, directly across the country from the strongly-fortified narrows. The other British troops dis embarked at the extreme end of the peninsula, and by the 28th, when It was decided to give the men a rest and time to enable the positions to be consolidated, they had reached Krlthia, which is on the road which runs along the peninsula and over which they will Join their comrades from the dominions and attack the fortB guarding the narrows In the rear. The French took possession of Cape Kum Kaleh after they had pre viously attacked toward eni Shehr to the south on the Asia Minor Coast. While this was proceeding the fleet, besides covering the landing of the forts In the Dardanelles and the troops, kept up a bombardment pre vented reinforcements from reaching Turkey from the Sea of Marmora. A Troop Ship Sunk. One Turkish troop ship was sunk by the British battleship Queen Eliza beth, which is believed again to have been firing her big guns across the Peninsula, directed by airmen. The official account of the landing of the Allipd troops does not bear out the over-optimistic reports from Grecian towns which preceded It and which mentioned thousands of pris oners as having been captured, the total of men taken by the Allies being given as 500. These were cut off by the fire of the ships. Neither does the report mention operations off Smyrna or In the Gulf of Saros axainst the Bulair line of forts, but It is certain that these points are being watched to prevent reinforcement reaching the Turks. German Move In East Another sensation came from the east, where It is announced that Gor man cavalry, which succeeded ap parently in getting around the ex treme right of the Russir.ns, has in vaded the Russian Baltic provinces. There has been no indication In what force the Germans are operating, but it Is presumed that the cavalry Is simply looking over the ground to find out what opposition a force landed at I'olangen, in the Province of Cour land, would meet with. In military rircles here it is asserted that this cavalry can, however, interfere with the Russian communications and give the famous Russian Cossacks some thing to do. At the other end of the Russian line the Russians are reported to be con tinuing to make slow progress In the Uzsok Pats and to repulse Austrian attacks on their DankB in the direction of Stry.

Nothing of Importance has occurred along the. Western battle front. The Germans claim sUll to hold bridge heads on the Yser Canal, at Met Sas and Steenstraete. They are being at tacked by the Allies, who, according to all the official reports, are on the offensive at most points. The Ger man report repeatedly refers to the repulse of allied attacks. German submarines have shown a sllKht revival In activity. They have sunk the trawler Lilly Dale and the collier Mobile. German airmen.
