This is the reason why any allied progress is hailed with great satis- faction in England. Praise for Tarks. It {8 interesting to note the tributes to the Turks' bravery and even gallantry paid In atmost every dispatch from the | British correspondents at the Dardanelles, At no time during the peninsula fighting have the Turks been accused of atrocities, The munitions measure giving David Liloyd George, minister of munitions, wide power to whip up the ammunitions sup- ply, passed the House of Lords today, and will be a statute when the king fixes his signature.
