THE ORIENT.
QUIETNESS AT CALLIPOLI. WAR OFFICE REPORT. Received Sept. 28, 10.15 p.m. London, Sept. 28. The War Office states that the recent operations on Gallipoll have been mainly confined on both sides to aircraft attacks, and artillery bombardments and some mining. The Turks, on one occasion, by heavy artillery fire on the Suvla and Anzac fronts, apparently preluded a general attack. The only attack was that of a small force upon the right centre at Suvla, but our rifle fire easily dispersed the enemy. The same thing happened twice subsequently. Enemy aeroplanes more than once attacked our aircraft base, and dropped bombs, but without damage. We coun-ter-attacked, and our bombs blotted out a hangar, and damaged shipping at Burgaz.
The Turks, on the night of Sept. 24, let .loose watchdogs against the French ,patn>l dogs, but all were shot.
