THE ORIENT.
AT THE DARDANELLES. THE APPROACH OF WINTER. London, Sept. 26. Reuter'a Dardanelles correspondent, in a message dated Septcmcer 10, says:— There is a decided fall of temperature and the equinoctial winds have commenced. The north-easter sweeps the peninsula, ibut the cliffs afford shelter and the landing-places, even upon the Suvla beaches, arc, safe, as the forco of the wind is broken. The nights are cold. The troops are still barekneed and in the lightest clothing, which is becoming uncomfortably airy. There will soon be an urgent demand for winter clothing, overcoats and blankets The country provides only water; timber, nails and roofing for huts must be landed. The Turks have abandoned their exchanges with the warships, which are constantly shelling the 'batteries. Bursts of Turkish fire are their only guide. The Turks have the advantage of a bird's eye view of our position. We must ensure that the winter shall find the Allies ready.
