The statement had hardly been made when: tije war office issued an account of a successful British attack on the Turkish trenches on either side of the Krithia Nullah, which led to the belief that Lord Kitchener, who. is on the peninsula, and who went out after General Munro’s report had been re- ceived, had decided to persist in the operations. Andrew Bonar Law, the coionial sec- retary, assured the house of commons that the decision would be left to the military experts and the question of loss of prestige would have no weight. As to Greecs, it is reported in des- patches from Rome that immediate ac- tion will be taken and no deiay will be tolerated. It /is .said that ltaly will take ‘an impoftant part in the forth- coming developments. The action will naturally depend upon the attitude which King Constantine and his min! ters assume toward the entente pPow- ers.

Imparcial says the Spanish gov- ernment, in consequence of represent- ations by Great Britain, has increased its watchfulness against German sub- marines, being supplied from th Moroc- can or Spanish coasts. 1t is common knowledge in Spain that the government has never been able to prevent smuggling, especially of tobacco, and that many admentur- cus seamen make a living by running cargoes of contraband in small sailing craft. The residents of the adjacent coasts protect the smugglers and hence the government, it is believed, will have great difficulty in preventing the illieit outfitting of "German and Aus- n submarires./ A despatch to_the Paris Journal from’ Madrid Wednesday said that requested Spain to keép a strict’ watch along the coast- line, especially that of Morocco, to revent violations. of neutrality by frman ts who were believed to be supplyl bmarines with fuel and food. - .

The day is certain to come when by the normal economic processes the losses of this great war shall be dis- tributed and in one or another way we shall have to bear a part of them.
