A TURKISH REPORT. Amsterdam, September 24. A Turkish communique states: "Our J Anafarta artillery on our left wing caused a conflagation in the trenches, which raged for two hours. The enemy exploded a mine near Ari Burnu on the night of September 21, doing a little damage, which was soon repaired. The enemy near Seddul-Bahr on the morning of September 21 vigorously bombarded and bombed our left wing. Our fleet on September 21 chased three Russian destroyers from coaling porta in the Black Sea."

Ours make daily flights, resulting in effective bombardments of Turkish headquarters and transports at the wharves. The activity of the British submarines in the Sea of Marmora is marvellous.
