Foresaw Failure
At Dardanelles
g CAPTAIN GRANVILLE FOR
-3 TESCUE foresaw the Allies’
Sdlnoter at .the Dardanelles last
; August. This is shown by the fol
lowing paragraphs in his dispatch
§ es to The Sunday American, sup
) pressed by the British censor:
“Within a month the gales will
break down the Allies’' line of
{ communications. When the
i weather roughens in this part of
\ the world, landing from small
) boats will no longer be possible,
* When the gales reach their cli
{ max, troops on the Gallipoli Pen
-7[ insula will be marooned. With
{ the failure of ammunition and
¢ supplies, the Mediterranean army
! will be at the mercy of the Turks.
. “Here is a situation that calls
for immediate remedy. Unless
some vigorous action has been al
ready decided upon it may be
even now too late to save the rem
nants of one of the most gallant
armies the world has ever seen.
It may be taken for granted that
with the failure of the Suvia Bay
attacks, the Dardanelles offensive
will completely break down.”
