DARDANELLES OPERATIONS CONTINUED.
ENEMY'S FIRE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT.
GERMAN AND TURKISH RANKS REMOVE THEIR GOER.
LONDON, March 14. - A French official communique states that two British battleships bombarded the light batteries commanding Morto Bay, at the entrance to the Dardanelles, in order to prevent repairs. The French division is continuing the operations. A message from Athens states that the Allies have destroyed a bridge near the town of Dardanelles, in the narrowest part of the Strait. The. bridge was used to transport artillery to and from the forts. The enemy's Are has improved, probably owing to the employment of German gunners. The newspaper "Giornale d'lUlia" says the Ottoman Bank, the Deutsche Bank, and the Deutsche-Orient Bank at Constantinople, have removed their bullion to Broussa, in Asiatic Turkey.
