AT THE DARDANELLES.

EACH SIDE ACTIVE. IMPORTANT DAMAGE TO TURKISH WORKS. PARIS, December 3. An official communique says: "The artillery is active at the Dardanelles on both sides. We have caused important damage to Turkish works. "The weather has been severe, but is now milder." AMSTERDAM, December 3. .' A Turkish communique says: "We .captured a portion of. the enemy's entanglements and trenches near Anafarta. "An enemy cruiser opened fire on our left wing, but retreated before our torpedo craft." TURKS LOOK AHEAD. HELP FROM GERMANY. \ SALONICA, December 3. Mr Ward Price reports that Greeks who have arrived at Salonica from Constantinople say that food is very dear there. The casualties of the Turks at the Dardanelles are estimated at 200,000. Many sick and illclothed men have arrived at Constantinople from Gallipoli Peninsula. The Turks maintain that the Dardanelles cannot be forced. They are looking forward to the time when

heavy supplies of German ammunition will enable them to drive the Allies off the Peninsula. One Greek said that a battery of German lOin guns has been sent to Chanak. It will most likely be five weeks before railway communication with Austria is re-established, the Serbians having greatly damaged the Nish-Bel-grade section.'
