GALLIPOLI REVISITED.
LONDON, Nov. 2. A special correspondent who visited Gallipoli says: There is still much to remind one of the terrible days of the past. The trenches at Lone Pine are intact, even the tunnels have not collapsed. Elsewhere the trenches have not greatly deteriorated though overgrown with weeds. The sunken ships still lie round the coast, though they are breaking up in the calm and beautiful waters. Recently Indian troops were sent, to disintetvand bury at sea the remains of their compatriots- The correspondent pays tribute to the Australian Cerps responsible for the work over the whole of Gallipoli, and which is now constructing permanent cemeteries. Probably it will take three years. There is no reason why arrangements should not soon be made for civilian pilgrimages.
