tention. In contrast with the armies

numbered not to exceed two hundred

fionting each thcr are as giants.

to exceed seventy-five thousand men

Ifader of his age.

nature. He stated that Sweden had
been unable to get any satisfaction

informing the United States of same.

Athens, June 21—It is generally
believed here that the Allies have
discontinued their attacks on the
Turkish fortifications and lines on
the Gallipoli, This is taken to show
that the claims of the Turks that the
Allies were unable to make any sub
stnntial advances is true. For three
month the pick of the British and
h tench fleets have been pounding a
way at the forts, supplemented during
the last two months with upwards of
a hundred thousand soldiers, and in
that time seem to have been unable
to make any great impression. Ob
selete fortifications heve been blown
up, and a few miles of the tip of
the peninsula have been occupied by
the troops, but in fact the Allies ar<
no nearer to Constantinople and the
Black Sea than they were when tliev
started. For five or six days last
week the full strength of the bat
tlships exerted the power of their
guns on the forts followed by a gen
eral attack of the land forces, in the
hope that they would be able to open
the way to the city of Gallipoli it
self. Defeat wag their portion, how*
ever, and now the conclusion Is that
th.> Allies will try to attack Constan
