May 6.-'Operations ill the Dardanelles are being pressed for- ward under llighiy ,satisfactory condi- lions, Premier Asquith told the House of Commons this afternoon in the course of a statement upon the com- bined naval and land attacks on Galli- poli Peninsula. The Premier spoke in part as follows:-" At daybreak on April 26 landing occurred of troops making use of six landing. places. By llightfall 29,000 men had been disem- barked in the face of a fire of opposi- tion by the infantry and artillery en- trenched behind successive lines of wire entanglaments. Landing troops of the twenty- llintb division were held up all day to the West of Seddul Bahr but at sun- set they succeeded by a fine attack along the heights which made possible the taking of a good position covering the disembarkation of the remainder of the division. Landing brigades of Australian and New Zealand corps were sent ashore at Gaba Tepe at half-past four o'clock in the morning in complete silence. The enemy open- ed a heavy fire at point blank range but the beach was rushed with cool effect and the attack carried out with the utmost dash up the slope. French fqrces effectefd a. landing at Kum Seale and advanced with great gal- iantry. Every report speaks of the magnificent co-operation of the naval forces. I regret that the casualties were very heavy including the death of Brigadier-General Napier. By evening. April 27th, the twenty-ninth division was firmly established across Gallipoli Peninsula, having advanced two milesffom the point of landing. They were Joined by the French troops who having fulfilled the task ‘of silencing llostilc batteries on the Asiatic coast which interfered with _the landing at Gallipoli Peninsula had recrossed the Straits. Australian and New Zealand corps defeated every counter-attack and steadily gained ground. Disembarka- tion continued on April 28 alld 29. By May 2nd further advance had been made by the French and British troops on the southern end of the Peninsula and the Australian and New Zealand corps had been reinforced by the Royal Navy division. Positions every- where have been consolidated. In successful performance of this one of the most difficult tasks was the land- ing on the beach in face of a deter- mined opposition. The troops en- gaged displayed courage and skill un- surpassed. Operations are now being continued and pressed forward under satisfactory conditions. CONSTANTINOPLE, via. Berlin and London, May 6.-The following official statement regarding the operations in the Dardanelles was issued this after- noon by the Turkish war office: “The unfavorable situation of the enemy in the Dardanelles remains un- changed.
