LONDON, July 2—A despatch re- ceived last night from Athens says that the allies have taken the Turkish stronghold of Krithia, on the Gallipoli peninsula, to the western edge of which Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton's report of yesterday carried his forces, but there is no confirmation, Gratification over the British prog- ress in Gallipoli is hardly more pro- nounced than the realization of the tremendous 'task which faces England and France in their attempts to clear the Turks from their natural defenses barring the way to Constantinople. The expeditionary forces on the Gallpoll Peninsula are now faced with the problem, says the Alexandria cor- respondent of the Chronicle, of storm- ing the Hill of Achi Baba, 800 feet high, which dominates the whole lower peninsula and has been fortified by the Turks until it is a position of immenee strength. “On either side” eays the corre- spondent, “the ground falls away to the sea in ravines and dry water- courses, called deres, which the Turks have had time to make almost im- pregnable. There is no room on the peninsula to find the weak points, and we are now in the position of having to take this lofty position by storm.” The Times, referring editorially to the list of British casualties at the Dardanelles, which up to May 31 numbered 38,636, including 496 of- ficers and 6,927 men killed, criti- s the Government for having “hopelessly mismanaged” the ex- pedition ‘from the outset. “Our difficulties at the Dardanelies have arisen chiefly because the naval and military forces were not effec- tively combined in the earliest stages,” the Times says. “The navy attacked far too soon and the troops arrived far too late. During the in- ALBANIA INVADED BY GREEK BANDS, IS ROME REPORT Villages Said to Be Occupied in Advance Toward Berat. ROME, July 1 (via Paris July 2).— A despatch from the Tribune from Antivari, Montenegro, says two large Greek bands are advancing toward Berat, Albania, after occupying the villages along the way. Serbian forces are marching across Central Albania to effect a junction with the Montenegrins in a combined assault on the seaport city of Alessio, according to advices to the Montene- grin Legation this afterpoon. WASHINGTON, July 2.—Greek of- ficlals here expressed the belief to- day that the reported occupation of parts of Albania by Greek troops, !f authentlo, referred to border raids by Irregulars. No official notice of any such military activity has reached , the legation. It was pointed out that it Greece decided to enter the war she would declare Kerself openly as a belligerent, and If she remained neu- tral she would not run the risk of incurring unfriendly criticism from any of the belligerent nations. , ‘The fact that Albania has been con- | — sidered in some quarters as under the jurisdiction of Turkey since the uprising under Turkish leadership would make it possible for the latter country to seize the invasion of Al- bania as a pretext for a declaration of war against Greece. Official de- spatches to the Greek Legation state that the King, whose condition is! greatly improved, ill leave shortly! for his country place in the vicinity of Athens. | There have been no previous re- ports of an intention on the part of | the Greek Government to lay claim to a section of Albania. Albania al- ready has been invaded by Serbian and Montenegrin troops, while Italian forces have been stationed there for some time.
