The news from Gallipoli, as far as it goes, is

satisfactory. We have made.a slight advance, but, what is more important, the Turkish oonater-attacks have shown very little deter- mination. In this connexion we may mention that a Reuter telegram from Paris states that an officer of the Italian Army has arrived at the headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force " in order to concert measures for co-operation with the British and French of an Italian force, both naval and military, in the operations against Turkey." That, if true, is excellent news. The fact that the telegram was passed by the Censor would seem to guarantee its genuineness.
