considerable weight to this operation

FORECAST
British Check Grave Enough to War
rant New Tactics.
LONDON. April 3. A radical change
in the operations of the allied, fleet
at the Dardanelles is forecast by the
correspondent- of the Star, who has
been for some time at the straits. In
a dispatch from Athens, he says the
check received, by the allies at the nar
rows has been sufficiently grave to
make necessary a - decided alteration
of tactics.
The present pause he characterises
as & prelude to a new attack in what
is confidently expected will prove over
whelming force. The loss of three war.
ships was by no means unexpected, the
correspondent continues, and though it
entails a delay, it should not cause dis
quiet. ' He asserts there are other
means at hand for accomplishing what
a direct frontal attack failed to
achieve.
He believes it not improbable that
time will show the attack was justi
fied by the damage done to the Turk
ish defenses. It is his opinion that
the Turks will find it extremely alt-
ficult if not Impossible to replace the
big guns put out of commission.

"There is nothing to show that the
