TURKS AERO GUNS STOP
DEPREDATIONS OF AVIATORS
CONSTANTINOPLE, April It Aero
guns and anti-aeroplane artillery have
been mounted on nearly all mosques
and buildings having towers or min
arets in the Ottoman capital and every
preparation has been made to repel
the many attacks of hostile airmen
which have resulted in the destruction
of no little property in, the past few
weeks. Since their installation the new
guns have been so effective that aero
craft from the English and Hussion
Iteeets have been unable to get within
range of tlie city except in a few in
stances. Several aeroplanes have been
destroyed by the Turkish tire and in
one instance a hostile aircraft was
brought to earth within a few rods of
Hie Sultan's palace. The Turkish mil
itary forces arriving from Asia Minor
ar>‘ being rapidly distributed along the
defenses of the Dardanelles and lios
phorus in anticipation of land attacks!
from tlie allied powers. The military'
authorities are straining even effort to
place the partially destroyed defenses
along the Dardanelles in a condition
to withstand attack should the allied
fleet resume the bombardment and
scores of guns of all calibres are being
transported to the rehabilitated forts
along the waterway.
