cia,ed In the direction ard manage

will be made during the visit.
The coming OF man OF Mr..

future operations upon the new rail-

nation he came to Grants Pass In
his special car and made a trip by
auto over the route Of the new line
to Crescent City. Two weeks later
no returned again, his car stood up-
on the siding here for several days,
and his investigation OF the district

Saloniki. Dec. 20.-Mrs. Walter
Farwell. Chicago society woman and
newspaper correspondent, was
handled roughly. and DR.. Harry ..
Forbes, American Red Cross doctor.
Of Boston, was attacked when Bull
garian forces raided American Red
Cross headquarters at Monastir.
Likewise. they ripped down the
American flag and seized Serbian re-
lief stores for the Bulgarian army's
use. Then stationing sentries. the
Bulgars virtually held Mrs. Farwell
and American Red Cross workers as
prisoners.

Through Consul Kohl here that Mrs.
Farwell and DR.. Forbes be allowed
to leave. The. Red Cross worker who
reported the attack said that the
couple were safe Wednesday. but that
their situation was growing un-
pleasant,
The conduct Of Forbes and Mrs.
Farwell was heroic. Forbes had
purchased "a carloads Of -four from
the Serbians before they evacuated
the city. This he stored in Red Cross
headquarters and was distributing
small portions daily to 1000 i'm
poverished families within the town.
Repeatedly the Bulgarians demanded
that Forbes sell them -four and offer
ed him double what 1t cost original
lily. He refused steadfastly, explain
ing that the -four was American
property for civilian distribution.
Then the Bulgars threatened.
! So Forbes. thinking to protect his
stores and himself, hung the stars
and stripes above the door of his
headquarters. Suddenly several Bull
gar officers. with 80 soldiers, des-
cended upon the building and ripped
down the flag. One officer. who said
he was a former deputy sheriff In
Kansas. exclaimed to Forbes: Il
know that rag. It's only good enough
to scare Mexicans--not Bulgarians."
Thereupon several Of the soldiers
sprang at Forbes, and in the struggle
an officer hit him with the butt Of
his sword. At the same time. Mrs.
Farwell. calmly and showing no signs
OF fear for herself, attempted to take
a picture of the fight. AS the camera
clicked, three soldiers seized her by
the neck and arms and smashed her
camera.
They then seized two carloads Of
flour and warned Mrs. Farwell and
the doctor not to attempt to leave.

QUIT TIM c
TURK SOIL
Forces Of More Than lOO,-
600 English Soldiers Leave
the DardaneIles Operations
for Saloniki or Egypt

London, Dec. 20.--British forces In
the Suvla Bay and Anzac regions OF
the Dardanelles. together with their
guns. have been transferred to "an-
other sphere OF operations" 1t was
officially admitted today.
The statement declared the trans
fer was accomplished with ,'insigni-
ilcant casualties" indicating that the
Turks had attacked during the re-
embarkment.
The objection to abandonment Of
the Dardanelles expedition had been
a fear that Turkish artillery would
slaughter them In the small boats
leaving for the transports. Hence. It
Is assumed that allied warships must
have covered the retreat.
These forces presumably withdrew
for service at Saionilsi or in Egypt.
The removal affects more than 1907
900 British soldiers who have been
vainly trying for months to advance
on Anzac and the west shore Of CALI
poii peninsula. The message. how
ever. did not mention Withdrawals
from Sedd- -Ul.Bahr.
Possibly the step is the forerunner
OF abandonment OF the entire Oar
danelles expedition, In favor Of Bal
kan or Egyptian operations.
Reports were current recently that
England intended to make such a
clearance. Then Lord Kitchener
went into the near-east. and subse-
quently the Dardanelles operations
took. at least temporarily, new
lease OF life. thus creating the i'm
preston that the possible abandon
ment had been completely side
tracked. Ws5
More than 100000 troops, mostly
Australians and New Zealanders,
landed In the Suvla bay and Anzac
regions several months after the first
Dardanelles attacks began In the re-
gion Of Sedd-Ul-Bahr.
Their object was to cut the COM
munications and attack the Turks
from the rear. They failed after be-
ing nearly successful In grand as
sault The Turks drove them back
close to shore. and their advance
since then has been unimportant.

A telegram to r. X. Jayne from
his cousin, General Evans. an
nounces the death of the latter's
mother, Mrs Mary kennon Evans
which took place at Portland
Oregon, last Friday. Mrs. Evans
was well known here, where she
spent her young womanhood and
was married and where her son
was born. She also was we'll
known at Oxford, Brandon,
Minter City and elsewhere in this
State, and it may be safely said
that none knew her but TO love
her.
She visited her son, then
stationed on the Pacific slope,
some thirteen years ago. and a
fall, which crippled her prevent
ed her crossing the divide again,
though her general health and
her mental faculties were unim-
paired. Though over nirtety-one
years Of age. she corresponded
with her family and friends up to
within a few weeks since. Her
death was as the going to sleep
of one who was weary of the toll
and labor of the long day, and
as with a full knowledge OF the
glorious sun rise Of the morrow.

up TO his death. The Lodge ex-
tends its sincere sympathy to the
bereaved wife, children, aged
mother, sister and two brothers,
and trust that they will net sor-
row a. those who have no hope,
but will rest in that glorious hope
that Christ will soon come to-
gather up his jewels and in their
glorified bodies they will worship
Him who died for them where
there will be no parting in sorrow
or death.
