DETAILED ACCOUNT
 OF SUVLA RETREAT
 IS ATLAST GIVEN OUT
(Continued from Page One)

SuvIa area was visible to them and the main embarking beach could be overlooked from Snipers' Ridge, HOO yards away.
 During the days preceding the with drawal the Turks kept up the usual daily quantity of shells at the usual intervals and the British guns replied. On Sunday this fire was as usual
 Sunday night the greatest activity began secretly in the British camps. By f o'clock in the morning every body was off but the parties sent in to search for stragglers who were taken off as late as in the morning. At 3:26 in the morning sappefs at An zac exploded a huge mine between them and the Turks on RusselIs top. which is a neck between the two, along which it was not desirable that the Turks should follow the retiring Anzacs
 HAD DESIRED EFFECT
 This had the desired effect. The Turks thought the Australians were attacking and maintained a furious rifle fire for 40 minutes. Shortly after ward tongue of flame shot up from the beach on the south of Suvla bay. A great pile of abandoned foodstuffs, soaked with petrol, had been fired. Soon afterward more flames made their appearance on the west beach and dur Ing the AdSt two noufS Ol tue HlSHL huge waves of flame reddened the sea and sky for miles around and columns Of thick, black smoke lowered hun dreds of feet high in the windless air.
 Surely everyone thought, this will wake the Turks up They were well come to make their discoveries now. But even the angry glare of the sky which must have been visible for many miles failed to attract the attention of the Turks.
 'At daybreak every transport was clear of the bay, and only the warships re- mained. These began to fire on the beach breaking up the piers sunken ships and water tanks, on the general principle of leaving nothing but firewood for the enemy.
 At length, the Turks awoke. They saw the fires and began to fire on them They must have seen that the ships were firing on their own positions, but perhaps they thought the 'Anzacs' had gone mad and were firing on one another
 'rhe Turks in Suva bay for long time had no inklirg of the reality, as they pastered the British positions. where there was not now soul, with high ex- plosves for hours, and were still doing si when the battleship from which the correspondent was watching the enter tainment departed at o'clock.

 '"The Turks were somewhat spryer in the Anzac zone. They could be seen climbing out of their trenches and peep ing into ours soon after da aybreak, but the shells of the warships sent them back in hurry. The heritage of the Turks amounted to few picks ond shoves and a number of hospital tents. All the guns were brought off except five which were destroyed. including two worn-out howit- Zers

nPOLOGIZING TO
BOWED.

WE don't know quite what to make
of the report from Washington that
the German embassy is indignant at
the mention of Capt. Boy-Ed's name in
the federal trial of a group of Ger
mans for conspiracy against American
neutrality, and that Ambassador Bern
stroff may demand an apology from
the government.
Somehow, IL seem a bit prCsump-
tuous for the German embassy to find
the United States guilty of less
majesty on any grounds whatever. We
didn't suppose the Kaiser had any
Jurisdiction in America. and particu.
larry over American courts of justice.
The facts are plain and simple Q.
nough. Representatives of the Ham.
burg-American line. acting under or.
dcrs from Germany last year. fitted
out ships in our ports and sent them,
with false clearance papers. TO pro-
vision the German raiders. They have
admitted It. They have explained that
the expenses were paid out of q fund
handled by Capt. Boyd. of thc Ger.
man embassy al Washington. and Boy.
ED admits that. The procedufe Is dc.
clared TO be q violation of our neutrali.
~ laws. Capt. Boyd. being n diplo.
mat, is immune from prosecution. Ills
embassy, apparently. thinks that nc
should also he immune from criticism
even by implication.
Tho nation may continue to overlook
the fact that Capt. Boyd has been
an active propaganda in Germany's
behalf. against the spirit If not the
letter OF our laws. and contrary to
diplomatic p%ropiety. ever since the
war began. II may continue to toler.
ate his anti.American activities. But
as for apolohizing-the nation will be,
gin TO think about that when Germany
has made apology and reparation foi
killing 10 Americans on the Lusitania
and has called of it's subsidized cam
paign OF violence against Legitimate
hmeican business on American soil.
