The Suvla bay and Anzac cove posi-
tions are on the north coast of CALI

sixteen miles from the tip. Suvla bay
is five miles farther on.
AS no mention is made in the British

the peninsula, it is not clear whether
the withdrawal of troops indicates a
decision to abandon the effort to force
the Dardanelles or means merely re-
adjustment of the allied forces.
Withdrawal Not Forecasted.
There had been no previous hint of
such a move, although the question
had been raised in England whether,
in view of the failure of the allies to
make appreciable headway at the Dar-
danelles and the urgent need for ad-
ditional troops at Saloniki. the OAR

ordinary, although this bombardment
may have been conducted to cover the
withdrawal. There are two fields of
operations in the near east to which
British troops Withdrawn from the
Gailipoli peninsula might be forward

Outnumbered in Balkans.
London looks for an attack on the
allied positions at Saloniki. There is
no official information as to the num-
Der of French and British troops in
Greece. which has been estimated re-
Gently at about 100000. Germany.
Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey have at
their disposal several times that num-
Der of men, although Greece is opposed
to the use of Bulgarian or Turkish
troops for an advance on Saloniki.
The allied troops at Saloniki are be-
ing reinforced steadily, but in view of
the recent decision of France and
Great Britain to continue the Balkan
campaign it may be assumed that
every effort will be made to concen-
trate considerable force on the
Saloniki base. This Greek port is
within easy sailing distance of the
Gallipoli peninsula. 1t is across the
northern end of the Aegean sea from
the peninsula, less than 200 miles dis
tant.
If recent unofficial advices concern
ing ths Egyptian situation are authen-
tic Great Britain may feel the neces-
sity of increasing her armed forces
there.
Egyptian Invasion Threatened.
1t has been represented that the Ger
mans and Turks are preparing a
formidable expedition to invade Egypt
capture the Suez canal and cut off
England from India.
According to one account this en-
terprise has been placed in the hands of
Field Marshal Won der Goltz. the Ger
man commander of the 1st Turkish
army. The Germans are reported TO
have constructed a double-track rail-
road to the Egyptian border through
southern Syria.
Some of the bitterest fighting of the
Dardanelles campaign has taken place
at the positions now abandoned by the
British. The AnZac region. which takes
it's name from the initials of the Aus
tralian and New Zealand Army Corps
has been the scene Of furious attempts
of the invaders to thrust back the
Turks. Here. as at Suvla bay. the allies
have been able to achieve no striking
successes, being held bv the Turks to
the zones protected by the guns of the
allied fleet. The loss of life at both
these positions has been very heavy.
