TURKISH ATTACKS FAIL.

AIRMEN BOMB CHANAK.

■United Press Association. (Received 12.45 p.m.) Loudon, July 7. The Turkish general attack on Monday was the most important yet. At four o’clock in the morning they open- - e t | with extremely heavy 'artillery lire against our first line, and attempted several infantry attacks, but none reached our trenches. Our artillery decimated them, and rifle-fire and machine-guns mowed down most of the '> rest. Tin* Turks were strewn over the field. The Turkish batteries on the .Asiatic side continuously co-cperated, also aeroplanes bombing our lines, and . a TUrkisfh battleship-was firing while -cruising, between- Maidos* and Chairak. Fifteen Allied- aeroplanes at nightfall bombed the aerodrome at Chanak, hit- : ting the principal shed.
