("The Times" correspondent, writing from the Dardanelles, cm Dec. 29 says : —"Martial law is being enforced with great rigour, particularly in the Greek towns and villages of the European and Asiatic shores of the Straits, whoire inhabitants are known to sympathise with the enemy and are suspected of supplying him with information. After dark no lights are allowed in their windows, and everyone must keep within doors. If more than men stop to converse with each other in the streets tliry are arrested, haled before the nearest Court-martial, and heavily fined. The whole population of Crithia, a town of . 2000 inhabitants on the European headland, have been made to clear out of house and home and migrate to Tchanak, the reason given being that in the probable event- of fighting in that quarter they would be exposed to excesses from infuriated troops.
