SEVERE FIGHTING ON TUESDAY.

DASH AND GALLANTRY OF
COLONIALS.
(Received August 12, 2.30 p.m.)
LONDON, August 11.
The Official Press Bureau states that Sir lan Hamilton reports that severe fighting continued yesterday at Gallipoli, mainly at Anzac, in the northern zone. The positions occupied were slightly varied in places, and the general result is that the area held at Anzac has been nearly trebled owing chiefly to the gallantry and dash of the Australian and New Zealand army corps.
There was no further progress to the north, but the troops inflicted heavy losses.
It is reported that the French battleship St. Louis put out of action five out of six guns in the Asiatic batteries.
