NEW DEFENCES PROBABLE

It is in every respect a tion that is in progress, whether the attack is delivered by ships, or troops, or both, and the arrangements made for prosecuting it will be watched with solicitudo, since we cannot afford to fail when we touch upon the East. Nothing however, is impossible to the Allied Navies of England and Francs, and if they can master those formidable Straits, and appear before the walls of Constanti. nople they will have accomplished a feat of arms which will live in the history of the world.

SUPPRESSED GERMAN

Edmond Waller is described as a sub- lieutenant on the Gorman reservo Illst. On the outbreak of war in August last he was called out and ordered to Tsingtau, but soon afterwards he was released from service, and returned to Japan, where he has since been in the employ of Messrs. E. Kransa.

Adolf Keller is a corporal on the Ger- man restrvo list, and was for many years on the staff of the Military Cadet School in Tokyo as a teacher of the German language. During the recent campaign at Tsingtak be was serving with the ambu- lance corps in the Gorman field hospital thero. On the fall of the fortress he was released and came back to Tokyo,

The defouers of the Dardanelles formidable, and nothing is gained by donying the fact. The Straits are narrow, the channels are winding and they are mined.

giving high-angle fire for the attack on ships decks. It is useless to give the rames of the forts and batteries, or to suggest their present armament, because we have given Turkey six months in which to improve the defences, and within this period, thanks to General Limea von Sanders and the large number of German officers and men with him, it is probable that both works and armament have been transformed. Our War Staff will probably know these facts well enough, but it would only be misleading to give data which were true before the war but may no longer be true to-day It was certainly true before the war that there were not many really modern heavy guns in position, and that a part of the armament was out of date, but if we hope that this general situation has not been materially altered wa cannot count upon it until the Admiralty speak,

by dope A NAVAL ATTACESTE

Though we must view with a certain anxiety the risking of sea-going ships aguiust such a formidable position as the Dardanelles before the main bodies of the belligerent navies have met, there are several reasons why ships may be boit able now then formerly to compete with Coast hat erics with success. The heavy armament of ino.t must defences has not kept pace with the increased power of modern guns mounted on capital ships, and if this is true for us it is also true of the Turks. It is therefore open to us to hope that our ships, if adequate observation can be obtained, can destroy the enemy's exterior batteries at the mouth of the Straits, while remaining thomasives immune, and this appears to have been the result of the first day's Bombardment of the Sedi, Bahr, and Kum Kalch forts at the mouth of the Dardanelles

The best guns are of little use if badly sited, and it is part of the duty of intelligence officers to discover the uro of firs of every coast battery which may have to be attacked. The best guns are also of little avail unless range finding, observation, and con munications are thoroughly modern, and the whole personnel of coast batterics trained to their work These are aptitudes which are not common to Turkish troops, who will probably be cut classed in scientific gunnery and in all its branches. As for the guns and mor- ters for high-angle fire which the Turks are believed to possess, these are only of use in the middle and upper reaches of the Straits, and when the target is either stationary or moving very slowly.
