Modern System.

To meet the demands of the larger
cities for a modernization of the ac-
counting system prescribed by the
state, State Auditor A. " Donahey
promulgated an optional revision of
the accounting system established in
1904. AS is explained by the state
auditor, the new plan is optional, as
the cities are given the alternative of
continuing the present plan.
The general difference in the revi-
sion offered from the present system
in vogue is that the new plan de-
velops accounts along the lines of ac-
crued revenue and incurred obliga-
tions instead of operating the accounts
upon a purely cash basis. 1t was pre-
pared by State Examiners Foster and
Thomas, who have been aided by civic
and public bodies in various parts of
the state.

BRITISH WITHDRAWN FROM THE

Forces at Suvia. and Anzac Districts
Have Been Transferred, Says an
Official Statement.

garding this step was issued here on
Monday:
"All the troops at Suvla and An
zac, together with their guns and
stores, have been successfully trans
ferred, with insignificant casualties,
to another sphere of operations"
Operations in sectors of the front
at Gallipoli other than those from
which troops have been withdrawn are
to be continued, it is intimated in an
other official statement. The with.
drawal was effected without knowl-
edge of the movement on the part of
the Turks, it is declared.
Further details of the evacuation
of the Anzac and Suvla zones have
been received" says the official state
ment. Without the Turks being
aware of the movement, a great army
has been withdrawn from one of the
areas occupied in the closest of con
tact with the enemy. By this contrac
tion of the front operations at other
points of the line will be more effec
lively carried out.
Sir Charles Monro gives great
credit for this skillfully conducted
transfer of forces to the generals
commanding and the royal navy"
