The Dardanelles.

A GERMAN REVIEW. [United Press .Association.] Berlin, September 21. The Lokal Anzeiger, in a review of the Gallipoli fighting, says that the approach of the equinox with its south-westerly storms does' not give the Allies much time, and thus the Turks expect a general offensive immediately. Later on, the weather will impose a calm for the winter, as although the sandy ground offers a good anchorage, the strongest ships can only stay in the Gulf of Saros during h :stornl by straining; thqir engines to their utmost activity. Lighters will be out df the question for days and weeks, and it is easy to see what this means for an army on a small strip of land. The conditions of'the Anglo-French camp after a five days’ storm are, says the paper, terrible to contemplate. Hence one great attack is expected, and then “finis.” The elements will do the work, supported by the bayonets of the gallant Turks. (?)

MISSING MEN. Paris) September 21. The problem of the, the Allies’ forces who are missing at Gallipoli is arousing anxiety, especially as to whether help can be sent to the prisoners. M. Toussainfi,! jiresidqnt of the Nouvelles Dusallat, is attempting to trace the names of the missing through the Geneka Red Cross, which is communicating with the Vienna and Bucharest Red Cross Associations and the Catholic missions in the Levant. -
