SAY BOMBARDMENT
COMPLETE FAILURE
Turks Along Dardanelles Claim
Victory in First Attacks

?On the shores of the Dardanelles the
claim is heirs made today that the bom
hardnietit h\ the allies, which came to its
conclusion .March 1 resulted in a com
plete victory for the defenders of the
straits.
This coin lusiott is reached liy a com
parison of the losses. The allies are'
known to have lost three battleships sunk,
the Bouvet, the Irresistible and the Ocean,
an<1 possibly the Gaulois, which. it is said
here, had to be beached at Tenedos. One
destroyer and one torpedo boat 01so went
down, as well ns a mine sweeper. The
destnation of these vessels was accom
panied by the loss of life, the details of
i-'which are not known here, but they are
believed to have been n<?t less than l.i'OO.
T hp mmtlit-r of wounded is .said to be high.
Here is the damage done by the. fire of
the allies along the shores of the straits:
In the towns of Kilid Hahr and Tschanak

Damage to Turk Artillery.

? somewhat old manufacture, lightly dam
[aged in the carriage; one piece of large
I caliber, comparatively long range and
| modern origin, lightly damaged, but re
, paired; another piece lost its ammunition

'another had its turrets indented The

little damage was done to the coast de
.onse works themselves. The masonrv
or the positions had suffered, on the
whole, only slightly, and several large

were easily filleo.

features of the aftermath of the bom
bardment has been the alacritv with

nave again brought even the "face" of
their works back t<. its old and rather
pleasant appearance.
Few Guns Employed.
How many guns the Turks employed
against the ships of the allies March 18
cannot be revealed at present. The
.Associated Press correspondent knows,
however, that the number was small
.compared with the armament employed
j by the allies, which would appear to
nave numbered no less than L'76 pieces
of a caliber greater than six inches. Be
tween three -nd four thousand shells
were thrown by them within the space
of seven hours, according to the latest
figures obtained here. In armament
the allies lost on the Houvet, Irresist
ible, Ocean and Gaulois 134 pieces, of
?which lift y -eight were pieces of the
largest caliber.
I In visiting the works about Tschanak
j J\ a lessi it was found that the rather
j ancient earth traverses of one of them
had resisted the shells of the allies in
almost marvelous degree, though for a
j the fire had been fairly accurate,
j The effect of the allied fire on another
i position on the Asiatic side had been
the same, more or less.
| <?,, this fort the superdreadnaught
, Queen Elizabeth had concentrated her
j fire. i'he yard was pretty well cut up
J and many shells had fallen short in
the water in front of the position.
W hile the traverses had been hit sev
eral limes, the shell had penetrated in
only one instance far enough To do
i damage. Another shell had passed be
! tween two traverses and done some
j repairable damage to a piece of small
caliber and comparatively short range,
j Many of the shells intended for this
fort llew so high that they struck more
than two-thirds of a mile behind the
town.

DISPLAY OF VALOR
UNDER HEAVY FIRE
British "Eyewitness" De
scribes Latest Stages of
Battle of the Ypres.
INSISTS GERMANS USED
ASPHYXIATING GASES
Says Turning Point Came April 26.
When Teuton Rush Was Met by
Counter Attack.
May 4.? That the German*
used asphyxiating: gases, not only on
the flrst day of the battle of Ypr<??i
hut repeatedly afterward, and that,
many of their infantry were affected
and unable to join In the charges,
declared by the British "eyewitnc?* "
in his story of the latest stapes of the
hattle.
The turning point hi the battle, he
says, came on the afternoon of April
2?>, when, after the Uernians had de
livered a number of fierce assaults and
had pierced the allied lines near
Broodseinde, a strong, combined coun
ter attack was carried out bv the
French and British along the whole
front, from Steenstraate to St. Julien
This caused a definite check to the
German offensive, relieved the pressure
ami gained a certain amount of ground.
"During this counter attack." sa>*
the chronicler, "the guns concentrated
by both sides on this comparatively
narrow front poured in a great vol
ume of fire. From the right came the
roar of the British batteries: from the
left the rolling thunder of the *Soi\
ante-quinze' (French 7.j? centimeter
uuii). and every now and then, above
the turmoil, rose a dull boom, as a
huue howitzer shell burst in the vi
cinity of ?Ypres.
Infantry Storms Trenches.
"(Hi the right our infantry stormed
the German trenches Hose to St. Julien,
and intheevening gained the southern
outskirts of the village. In the cen
ter they captured trenches a little to
the south of the Bois des Cuisinirs,
west of St Julien, and still farther
west more trenches were taken. This
represented an advance of some 600 01
TOM yards, but the gain in ground could
not at all points he maintained.
"Opposite St. Julien we fell back
from the village to a position just
south of the place, and in front of
the Bois des Cuisinirs and on the left
of tlie line a similar retirement took
place.
"The enemy made extensive use of
his gas cylinders and machine guns
placed in farms and at other points ??f
vantage. None the less, the situation
at nightfall was more .satisfactory. We
were holding our own well along th*
line, and had made progress at some
points. On the right the enemy's at
tacks on the fj^>iit of Gravenstafel
ridge had all been repulsed.
"In the meantime the French had
achieved some success, having retaken
I,izern, and also the trenches around
Metsas, captured some -.">0 prisoners,
and made progress all along the west
bank of the canal.
"Heavy as our losses were during the
Jay, there is little doubt that the
enemy suffered terribly. Both sides
r ere attacking at different points. The
fighting was conducted very largely in
the open, and the close formations of
the Germans on several occasions pre
sented excellent targets to our artil
lery, which did not fail to seize its
opportunities."
Describes Another Counter Attack.
The eyewitness describes briefly an
other counter attack on the 27th, and
adds.
"But the situation remained very
much as it had been on the previous
day. The Germans doubtless were
much encouraged by their initial suc
cess, and their previous boldness in
attack was now matched by the stub
I born manner in which they clung to
their positions."
After that the Germans did not in
' terfere with the allies, which, says ih??
chronicler, "was not surprising in view
of the fact that they had been fighting
for over five days."
Pays Tribute to Airmen.
Vaying tribute to the work of the
aviators, he particularly mentions an
unnamed airman who lost his life in a
raid on Courtrai.
"The aviator," says the writer,
"started on the enterprise alone in a
biplane. Oil arriving at Courtrai he
glided down to a height of 300 feet
and dropped a large bomb on the rail
way junction. While he did this he
was the target of a hundred rifles and
machine guns and of anti-aircraft
armament and was severely wounded
in the thigh.
"Although he might have saved h'S
life by at once coming down in the
enemv's lines he decided to save ins
machine at all costs, and made for the
British lines. Descending to a height
of only 1 on feet, in order to increase
his speed, he continued to fly and was
wounded again- this time mortally. H
still tlew on, however, and withou
coining' down at the nearest of ou:
ae: odroines went all (he way back to
his own base. where he executed
perfect landing and made his report.
He died in a hospital not long after
w ard "
Work of Machine Guns.
Mention also is made of a machine
gun detachment, the men in which
kept their gun in action until all wets
dead or wounded.
