But we are in no hurry because we can achieve that without making the sacrifices which might still be neccssary to get rid of the enemy,’ The supreme commander of the Turk- ish forcex on the Gallipoll peninsuwa is & man somewhat advanced in years, but re- markably well preserved. He is about #ix feet tall, and well proportioned In body; there iw a soft quality in the lnes of his face and the expression of his eyes. Liman Pasha came to Turkey in the summer of 1613 to assist, as head of the German military mission, in the reorgani- zation of the Ottoman army. He has been an indefatigable worker in that ca- pacity, and the splendid conduct of the sultan’s troops in this war may be said to be largely due to the reforms insti- tuted on kis advice. In his conversation with the Assoclated Press correspondent. Liman Pasba out- lined briefly the conrse which military events on the peninsula had taken since the landing in the last week of April Allles Los! Ground, “In forty-nine days (tha interview oc- curred on June 11) the allles have done little beside loring ground steadily,” sald the commander. “Thelr offensive collapsed as soon as we were able to counteract thelr tac- ties. Tt must be borne In mind that this happened despite a superiority in artil- lery that left our own arm of that char- acter no chance whatever. For days and days the allled ships bombarded and searched every part of the peninsula with an ertillery fire ns severe and inces- sant ag, on the whole, it was unprodue- tive of results favorable to the British and French troops. I will say that the moral effect of a heavy bombardment is not as lusting in the case of Turkish troops, as the allles may have expected.

The shell contained an inner tube filled with an explosive About noon Fssad Pasha, commander of the third army, and during the late Balkan war, defender of Janina, was met by the correspondent. General Essad is a man of medium helght, slightly gray about the temples, of dlgnificd, military appearance and courteous demeanor and Sid-el-Bahr is very favorable,” sald. ‘“The British and French have been obliged to assume the defensive, which, 1 should say, Is not what they landed for. We hope to get them out and be- fore long. The allies have come to re spect the bayonts of our soldlers.” Bayonet Charges. Essad Pasha then recounted what some of the British prisoners thought of the mighty bayonet charges by the Turks. st of them did not like the experience. “I admit there is something uncanny in men rushing a trench silently with bayonets fixed. Nolse has a stimulat- ing effect at times, while its absence acts in an opposite direction,” he said. The afternoon was made interesting by a visit from a British aeroplane, which dropped three large bombs. Throughout the day the sniping from both trenches continued. A Turkish Lat- tery on the British left flank added to the picture by taking a pot shot at some part of the opponents’ trenches. British pleces on land aid not reply for some time, but finally were also heard from. No British or French men-of-war could be seen near Kaba Tepe, their former station. A single hospital ship, painted gray, lay off shore. The allled War veasels had ‘been driven to cover by the German submarines, opined the Turkish officer, and then pointed in the direction of Imbros island.
