The news from the Dardanelles is still very meagre, partly

because the stormy weather has continued, and partly also, no doubt, owing to the fact that the Allies are preparing, but not yet ready, for another big attack. There has, however, been a good deal of big-gun firing within the Straits, and at the same time the Russian Fleet has been active at the Black Sea mouth of the Bosphorus. It is highly probable that by the time these pages are in our readers' hands we shall hear of great events from the Dardanelles.
