ON THE EASTERN FRONT.`

RUSSIANS' BRILLIANT RETREAT.

LONDON, Aug. 20. The Russinus are still stubbornly contesting the enemy's advance while retiring to new lines.

Two German armice are closing in on Bialystok from the west and north. west, but, like the evacuation of Darowicz, the vacuation of Bialystok will be a natural aequal to the withdrawal to the right bank of the Niemen.

On the other hand, the Russians will probably continue to hold Crodno, which is strongly fortified, until the bulk of the armies have reached their appointed positions eastward of Vilna.

A Carinan communique reports that the advance of Mackenson's army ngainat Brestlitovak has further progrossed from the North and South-West,

THE LANDING AT SUVLA BAY.

FORTHER DETAILS.

"LONDON, Aug, 26.

A despatch from Reatar's correspondent at the Dardanelles shows that the landing at Surla Bay was accompanied by a demonstration on a large scale by the forces before Achibalin, in order to hold the enemy and prevent him from sending back roinforcements from this front to protect his threat- ened dauk. The Turkish Army is stretched along the hills and valleys of the Peninsula from Belair to Acbibata like a monstrous sarpent, with the armed head facing us on the slopes of Achifiaba, Our duty was to keep this head occupied. It was known that the enemy had been massing troups on this front for some time, and it was generally believed that he meant to mako an attack himself at some time. The belief was amply confirmed by the vigour and doggedness which the Turka-obviously the enemy's freshest or best troops displayed both in attack and defence,

A TERRIFIC BOMBARDMENT.

Our guns or the morning of the 6th instant battered the enemy'a trenches in front of Krithin, and this way followed in the afternoon by a bombardment lating for two boura, surpassing anything yet seen on the Peninsula, The enemy's trenches were cocceated by a veil of smoke from bursting shalls. Occasionally a heart-quaking roar overhead indicated the passage of a heavy abell, which would alight with a torrific burst on Achibabi, making the hill lock like a volcano in eruption.

A telegram from Sydney says that General Sir Ian Hamilton has cabled the Commonwealth Premier that the Australians and New Zealandera cannot be praised too highly. Their magnificent night march was so near impracticability that the Turks did not believe such a feat would be attemptal. Their dash and vigour in attack reflect credit on the officers and men.

FRENCH HEAVY ARTILLERY IN ACTION.

The next morning the French started with a dozen rounds from the heavy artillery, soon after dawn. At the same hour troops were being rushed ashore at Suvla Bay. It was more than ever important to keep the enemy engaged on the southern front. Accordingly our guns threw a hurricane of shells into the Turkish tronches. Our infantry attack was launched about 9.50. Line efter line of brown figures ran through the smoke to the main Turkish trench, which was captured in great style, the Turks retreating across the open under fire. The position was now the aime ns on the preceding day. After the attack, in which as much damage as possible was done to the saemy, our troops were withdrawn to our first line. The enemy continued a storm of rille-fire all through the night, but he bad had enough for one day, and tired not counter-attack,
