BATTERED TO PIECES
TURKISH FORTS IN THE DARDANELLES TERRIFIC ONSLAUGHT HINT OF THE LAND FIGHTING . ARTILLERY IN 'ACTION There is still no news of the New Zealanders or the Australians in the Dardanelles beyond the merest hint of the disembarkation of a portion of the Australian troops, and action by artillery on the extreme tongue of the Gallipoli Peninsula. There have been further attacks on tho censorship in the Fedoral House, but tho Government stands firm by the British authorities. The "Daily Chronicle's" correspondent sends a graphic account of tho terrific bombardment with which the massed warships opened the ball for the great attack on the Turkish stronghold, and which, presumably, covered the landing operations. The Turkish defences wore literally battered to pieces, and tho enemy's mobile artillery driven from pillar to post liko rabbits hunting for cover. The attack is described as the most powerful offensive ever launched by warships: it lasted for twelve hours, and was most destructive iD its effects.
