LONDON, Mnreh -L The allied
fleet this (Thursday) morning re
sinned their bombardment of the inner
forts of the Dardanelles, according
to n dispatch received by Renter's
Telegram company from its corre
spondent ut Athens. The text of the
dispatch follews:
"The bombardment of the inner
forts of tho Dardanelles was resumed
Thursday morning. Ten warships
took part in tho operations. Accord
ing to a Ilritisb officer, only two of
the Turkish forts remain intact. Al
lied lauding parties found the chnrred
remains of soldiers in the damnged
forts, showing that the .Turks had
uiuiieii uicir ueiKi uciurc cvaeaaims
these positions."
Wnrshliw Hatter nt Turks
While liritih battleships are bnt
tering fort No. S and fort No. !, in
the narrows of the Dardanelles, from
a point ten miles within the entrance
to the straits, French warships from
the Gulf of Saros are bombanling the
Turkish positions nt Hulair. A report
has been current in London that cer
tain big Krupp guns recently sent to
the Dardanelles are still unmounted
and an aerial nvoanaisauee made
over the straits last evening seems to
bnve confirmed this report.
The battleships of the allies, which
now show all tho colors of tho triple
entente by the addition of the Russian
cruiser Askold, undoubterilv have
turned the straits of tho Dardanelles
into an inferno, which, according to
Hritish nnd French claims, has spell
ed destruction to the Turkish de
fences. On the other hnnri, reports
irom Constantinople deride this uc
tivity ns ineffective.
Turks Still Hojiefiil
Tho Turks, however, do admit the
destruction of tho oner forts, which
they say they expected, but they rie
elaro tho inner works are impreg
nable. Tho Turks rely on mine, hut
mine sweepers of Ihe allies have been
busy within n milo and n half of the
forts.

make tho fleet of tho Dardanelles to
