THE DARDANELLES.
LIGHTNING ATTACK POSSIBLE. GERMAN NAVAL MOVEMENTS. (Rec. 1.45 a.m.) LONDON, July 30. The Ankara correspondent cf the Associated Press says that diplomatic dispatches from Bulgaria report that German naval personnel have arrived at Varna and Burgas, possibly to prepare for operations against the Russian Fleet or the Dardanelles. Travellers report seeing 120 naval signallers, engineers and officers aboard a train en route to the Black Sea. Several hundred others are understood to have been assigned to Bulgaria. Turkish officials regard the Axis menace to the Dardanelles as premature but many observers consider that a lightning attack might be made in September, depending on Germany’s progress against Russia. *
