TERRIFIC BATTLE IN GALLIPOLI

FEARFUL SLAUGHTER OF TURKS MASSED ATTACK CDT TO. PICES ' GALIGIAN STRUGGLE REPORTED DISMISSAL OF GENERAL VONHIDENMG ,r. 1 ' GREAT ACTIVITY ON WESTERN BATTLE FRONT - / 'In a glowing dispatch to-3ay the "Daily Chroniclo's" waf correal 'pondent in the Dardanelles tells tho story of what he describes as the . heaviest battle which has been fought sinoe tho Allies landed in Galli-' .poli. The Turks, after a spell of . "watchful waiting," and deceived : -by the tranquillity of the Allied line into the belief that our forces were short of ammunition, suddenly launched a heavy massed attack. The movo was detected in time to mass our guns in good , positions, and .the result was appalling.. The slaughterwas so frightful that it oven unnerved veterans of the fiercest battles in France and Flanders. The repulse of the attaok was followed up by a deadly counterattack, the grand result being a substantial advance forward, with enormous losses, to the enemy, and trifling loss to tho Allies. Great aotivity is reported at various points along the . Western front, par- • ticularly at Souchez and Bois-le-Pretre. From the Eastern theatre— the'late cable news brings 'something—-there is. nothing to report. A Paris newspaper reports the dismissal of Field-Marshal Von Hindenborg for daring to suggest to tho Kaiser tho advisableness of ', discontinuing the slaughter.
