LOST IN THE DARDANELLES.
LIFE COST OF THE FIGHTING.
87,630 KILLED, WOUNDED AND MISSING.
RUSSIA'S STUBBORN RETREAT. The naval force operating at the Dardanelles has suffered another loss, submarine E7 having been sunk and her crew of 28 captured. The losses of the British and overseas forces at the Dardanelles total nearly eighty thousand, the killed numbering 17,608 and the wounded 61,630. Another d-ispatch from Sir lan Hamilton has been received in London, and will be published in the course of a day or two. There is a feeling of . optimism in London as to the issue of the campaign, and news i of a big movement is daily anticipated. Fierce fighting continues in Russia, and the Czar's forces, . though compelled to give ground at certain points, are on the •whole offering a very stubborn resistance to the invaders. The shortage of munitions has been overcome to a great extent. ' The Germans report further progress in the Pripet marshes, but their advance has nothing of the lightning stroke qualities < which characterised the earlier portion of the great drive. During the past week British airmen attacked 21 of the ' enemy planes over their own lines and brought 11 down.
