a battle of quite the fashioned type, only on a larger plane, jn which the commanders could dieet the movements of their troops through the telephone and field telegraph, not only an reports received from their Brigadiers, but chiefly from what they could watch going oa under their own eyes.

THE MAIN OBJECTIVE.-

The ultimate objective of this great offensive was to obtain possession of the height of Achi Baba But before this could be attempted it was necessary to obtain possession of the two great arms of that sombre mountain which strelch but the one to the Gulf of Saros and the other to the shores of the Dardanelles.

From a hill above the beach a perfect view is obtained of the entire battlefield, and it is from this standpoint that. I shall attempt to describe the pemorable weches which have occurred during the past few days, culminating as they did in the tremendous combined infantry assault on the enemy's whole line on the evening of May 8th.

On Friday, May 7th, at 10 am, our ships opened up a furious bombardment the right arm of Achi Baba, sweeping the broken country at the head of the great donge and the slopes-leading up to Krithin The shells smothered every yard of the ground, and it seemed impos sible for anyone to live within this zone, as the shrub and ravines were yellow with bursting lydtite-

Krithia is a fairly large village, made up of gesttered white hours, with red roofs, and a fringe of trees. Outside the trees are numerous. Rowed stone mills are the most prominent features of the land scape, and they take a lot of hammering from the ships'-guns.--
