THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL.' PORTLAND, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1915. ALLIES RENEW ATTACK ON TURKS FOLLOWING HEAVY LOSS OF SHIPS Fresh Bombardment of the Dardanelles Forts Aided by New'Land Operations, LONDON GROWS" GLOOMY Become -FiimItto Over Slaktag- of Kajeetlo and Triumph b4uys Warship railed In Attack. London. May 28. (U. P.) Despite the loas of the British warships Tri umph and Majestic in the. Dardenellea " operations within two days the allied fleet is again bombarding the Turkish fortifications both from Inside the straits and from the Gulf of Sards, dis patches from Tenedos stated today. With the opening of a renewed bom bardment by the fleet the land forces moTed forward to news attacks which fare declared to have resulted In well sustained advances at several points The Australian and French troops swept forward in the direction of Krlthia, storming- Turkish trenches in rapid succession. , Other allied forces delivered fierce attacks near Bulalr and Oaba Tepe. ' m- : I Under German direction the Turks have converted the GalHpoli j peninsula ; into a maze of entanglements and en trenchments. Every Turkish position is also guarded by land mines which have resulted In severe losses to British-and French troops. 1 Night, attacks have proven costly owing tot the pow erful searchlights furnished by the Germans which 'Continually play upon the allied lines. The admiralty today had no further details regarding the sinking of the Majestic. No announcement has been is sued since the original statement of last night regarding- the Majestic de claring, that the vessel had been tor peoded off Sedd-el-Bahr and that a majority of the crew had been saved. Newspapers today : took varying views -a of this latest disaster. The Daily, New appeared pessimistic v slating: . v.v "The latest news does hot encourage hopes .of a speedy decision." HEAVIEST FIGHTING OF TURKISH CAMPAIGN IS ! BEGUN ON GALLIPOU ': Athens, May-28j (I. N, S.) Dis patches from Tenedos today declare the fighting on the GalHpoli penin sula is the fiercest since the allies' attack oh the straits began. Heavily reinforced, the allies are advancing from Krlthia, Gaba Tepeh and Bulalr, capturing several lines of trenches, 'despite the most bloody Turkish re sistance. In concert with the land advances jtt ; the allies, the French and British fleets are hurling, tons of shells on the Moslem lines, firing both, from . the Gulf of Saros and the entrance to the Dardanelles. - - , , - News that the allies are striking heavily from Bulalr indicates that they are now In position, if the as sault succeeds, to Isolate the whole tip of the GalllRoli peninsula by the - capture of the narrows of land which lie opposite Bulalr. If this can be done It will mean that it will be only a question of time until the Turks on the peninsula will be forced back toward the shore . of the sea of Mar mora, thus leaving the forts along, the northern bank of the straits without support from the land. This situa tion is taken here as marking the first "actual milestone in the reduction of the Dardanelles forts. Suggest Fight on Land. London, May 28.---(I. N. S.) Pes simism over the tesults to date of th naval operations in the Dardanelles . was greatly increased today In official - circles here by the fate of the battle ship Majestic, torpedoed in almost a - similar manner to the Triumph. It Is sow believed that It has been fully demonstrated that warships will not be ' the determining factor In forcing the passage to - Constantinople and strong pressure Is being brought to bear , on the new government to des patch 300,000 men to the straits to force reduction of the Turkish forts by land attacks from their rear. There is little criticism of the new Balfour policy, because It Is under stood the new head of the armiralty could jnot have put his plans Into oper ation yet, but the denunciation of Winston Churohill's, methods is grow ing fiercer hourly and it is now cer tain that had the cabinet change come after, the loss of the Majestic the former first lord of the admiralty 'would not have been retained In the cabinet. Officials today would not be quoted on the Dardanelles situation, but comment in official circles was gen eral to the effect that more land GREAT ENGLISH BATTLESHIP SENT TO BOTTOM , y ' s r ' , - . . by Russians Nearly i Capture Princes London. May I. N. S.) Petro grad dispatches chronicle the narrow escape of ' two members of the German nobility Prince Joachim - and Prince Lippe from falling into the hands of the : Kusslans" : at .

The princes fled precipitately to staff headquarters in the rear of the Ger- Si Z j The Majestic, which wag an old battleship of the 16 knot claBS, a nd .was completed in 1895. She had a normal complement of 757 men, and her armament included four 12-lncb guns, 12 6-incht 16 12-pounders, 13 3-pounders and smaller guns, together with torpedo tubes. Her displacement was 14,900 tons. . ' troops miist be sent there. The de termination of! the British ministry undoubtedly is as strong as ever that the road to Constantinople must be forced, and heavjr dispatches of regi ments from the forces held in Eng land are expected at once. . i . Berlin Rejoices. Berlin, via Copenhagen, May 28. (U. P.) All Berlin was jubilant to day as a result of the sinking of the British warships : TrluniPh and Majes tic In the Dardanelles. I It -was semt-officially stated that German submarines which destroyed the ships traveled ' 100 miles to ac complish the feats and returned safe ly , without revealing their base. The Majestic was hit in the stern and sank rapidly. -- The Tages Zietung today declares that the allies' Dardanelles campaign is doomed to failure. The Anglo-French losses on the GalHpoli peninsula have been so great that the allies asked for a truce during- which, they could oury their dead, tna payer said. Fighters Are Optimistic London, May 28 (I. N. 8.) The allies are ' described as "buoyantly optimistic" concerning the operations in the Dardanelles, owing to the dally arrival of r reinforcements of troops, ships and guns, in a dispatch to the Times from Moudros. : Men from) the front report that the Turks on May 21 attempted to capture Australasian positions at Gaba Tepe. The Turks lost 2000 killed and 6000 -wounded. The Australian loss' was heavy. , Majestic Sank in 18 Minutes. ' Constantinople, May 28. (L N. 8.) The British battleship MaJeBtio sank 18 minutes after she was hit by a tor pedo fired by the same submarine re sponsible for the loss of the British battleship Triumph a few days before. Today's bulletin from the Turkish war office announcing the exploit de clared that only one torpedo was fired, the explosion tearing an enormous hole In the stern of the battleship and caus ing, it Is believed, heavy loss of life. The submarine which dealt the fatal blow returned pafely to its base., SENATOR LANE URGES' METERS AS ONE STEP TOWARDS ECONOMY (Continued From Page One.)
