the Dardanelles March 18.
The crews of the two British ships
were virtually all saved, having been
transferred to other ships under a
hot fire, but an internal explosion
took place on board the Bouvet after
it had fouled the mine and most of
its crew was lost. The Bouvet sank
within three minutes of the time that
it was hit by the mine.
The waters in which the ships
were lost, had been swept of mines,
but the British admiralty asser.s
that the Turks and the Germans set
floating containers of explosives
adrift, and these were carried down
by the current onto the allied ships
gathered inside the entrance of the
straits.

old ones, the Bouvet having been
completed nearly twenty years ago
and Ocean and Irresistable in 1898.
They were very useful, however, for
the work in which they were en
gaged in the Dardanelles. The sunk
en British ships are being replaced
by the battleships Queen and Im
placable, vessels of a similar type.
They are said to have started some
time ago for near eastern waters in
anticipation of just such losses as
have now occurred.
Two other ships engaged in the
fighting, the British battle cruiser In
flexib'e and the French battleship
Gaulois. were hit by shells and dam
aged. The British casualties, accord
ing to the British official report,
“were not heavy considering the
scale of the operations.”
The damage done to the Turkish
forts by the heavy bombardment has
not yet been ascertained. It is stat
ed that the operations against them
are continuing.
Tells of Allies’ Loss.
Berlin. (By Wireless to Sayville, L.
I.)—The Oversas News Agency gave
out the following item regarding the
operations in the Dardanelles:
•‘Turkish headquarters reports that
an enemy destroyer has been sunk
in the Dardanelles and that one
British battleship has been disabled
and another damaged. The Mills
agency of Constantinople reports
that two British battleships of the
types of the Irresistable and Africa,
which had already been damaged,
were sunk by the fire of the Turkish
batteries. A Turkish aviator has as
certained that one battleship of the
Cornwallis type has been towed by
several ships to the island of Tene
dos.”

thieves had broken into a mail car in
which 225 bags of mail from the
United States to points in Germany,

which had been acting in concert with
the Karlsruhe.

twenty in this city is a cigarette
smoker, according to an estimate
after investigation by Alice Clement
and Mary Riley, policewomen.
