Captain Bartlett made a statement
! to thl effect during the course of a
lecture on the Dardanelles Thursday !
night and as the officer is himself an
I expert in matters pertaining to mili
tary operations his words have had a
most depressing effect on the public
who have continued to believe that
the allies would ultimately fight their
way to Constantinople. Captain Bart
lett said that although the allies were ’
| firmly establishd on the Gallipoli pen
insula he did not think that there was
| any chance for the armies to make
further udvances in the direction of the
capital beacuse of the Truks being too
numerous und skillful. The only rea
json that the allies had been able to
gain a foothold on along the Dardan

■ lack of experience on the part of tljo
! Turkish commanders. Bartlett also
(denied the stories that the Turks have
been short of ammunition stating that
Uuch shortages as were apparent were
confined to shells for the heavier ar
tillery and the defending forces had!
