In regard to the Dardanelles there is little to report,

but that little is good. Every day makes our position from the military point of view more comfortable, and every day also Increases the difficulties of the Turks both in defending their trenches and in keeping their men supplied with food, and still more with ammunition. By sea we have had a positive success of no small importance. It was reported earlier in the week that our submarines bad dived under the minefield, come up in the Sea of hfarmora, and torpedoed and sunk several Turkiah transports. On Thursday came the further official news that on Wednesday morning "one of the British submarines operating in the Sea of hfarmora torpedoed a large German transport." This, we take it, is in addition to the Turkish losses.
