"Not here Billy did the Turks pay dearly for their recapture of the vital "Now it was our turn. The war- ships and the New Zeoland and Aus- "ralian artillery, an Indian mountain artillery brigade and the 69th Bri- gade, Royal Field Artillery were get- ting the chance of a lifetime. As suc- cessive solid lines of Turks topped the crest of the ridge, gaps were torn through their formation, and an iron rain fell on them as they tried to re- form in the gullies. _ "The ponderous mass of the enemy swept over the crest and swarmed round the Hampshire: and Gen. Bald.. win’s brigade, which had to give ground, and were only extricated with great dimculty and very heavy losses. "First our men were shelled by every enemy gun," he says, "then as- saulted hy a huge column consisting {of no less than a full division, plus ‘three battalions. The North Loner shire men were simply overwhelmed in their shallow trenches by sheer weight of numbers, while the Wilt.. Shires, who were caught out in the open, were literally almost annihilated. l I This operation began on August 6. The climax was reached at break of lday on the 10th. when the Turks made 'tt grand attack on the summit of ;Chunnuk Hair hill upon a short front 'held by two battalions of the Sixth ‘North Lancashire and the Fifth Wilt- 'shire Regiments. which Gen. Hamil- ‘ton describes as weakened in nuin-r §bers, though not in spirit. ! The most striking passages of the documents describe the ill-fated land.. ing at Suvla Bay and Anzac early in August for securing command of the heights on the middle of the penin- sula and cutting off from their base the Turkish forces at the lower ex- tremity where the allied armies made their first landing. l The Suvla Bay landing failed to ac- complish its object, the report shows, partly because the force consisted largely of untried troops under gen- erals inexperienced in the new war- fare and partly through the failure of the water supply. The handling of the masses of troops within a limited area probably was the most complicated ever under- taken, and militarly men are not sur- prised that some important details failed to work as planned. " "On the 11th of October your Lord. F ship cabled asking me for an estimate of the losses which would be involved ‘in the evacuation of the peninsula. I :replied in terms showing that such a ;step was to me unthinkable. On the l 16th of October I received a cable re- lcalling me to London for the reason, law I was informed by your Lordship i on my arrival, that his Majesty's Gov..

Hamilton strongly opposed the abandonment of any of the buses held by the British troops. A despatch from London says: Gen.

The Car'- troops have captured strong positions near the city, and the fall of the capital of Bukowina may be expected at,any time.

No advance has yet been made by the Central Powers in Saloniki, and the Allies' position there is now con- sidered impregnable.
