Six Blocks of Thriving Town Prey to

ecedah.-Prac tically the entire
business section of this little town of
LOO inhabitants is a mass of ruins
as the result of a confiagrat!on that
had it's origin in a department store
and spread so rapidly that before 1t
could be controlled more than score
of business houses had been reduced
to ashes. Authorities would not make
a definite estimate of the damage al
though they believed the total loss
would be from 100000 to 100000.
Aided by an ever shifting wind, the
ness street, which is skirted on one
side by the river and on the other
by high bluffs, and for few hours the
battle to check them, participated in
by practically all the male inhabitants,
was almost without result. Tons of
water, poured on the burning build
ings, finally brought the fire under
control.
Hundreds of residents of the village
who lived above stores are homeless
the thermometer close to zero.
The fire is reported to have started
In the furnace room of the Greenbaum
department store, one of the largest
general stores in Wisconsin. In a
short time it had devastated six blocks
in the business section. Among the
places burned were the Necedah bank
and the postoffice. Some cash and
valuable papers were removed from
the bank but there was little time, and
the loss to the bank will be heavy.
Most of the buildings burned were
of frame construction and the fire
spread rapidly When it was seen the
Necedah fire department was power
less, calls were sent to departments in
the surrounding cities. The New Lis

London, Dec. 21.-The British troops
at the Suvla bay and Anzac districts Of
Gallipoli peninsula have been with
drawn.
The following official statement has
just been issued here:
"All the troops at Suvla and Anzac,
together with their guns and stores,
have been successfully transferred
with insignificant casualties, to anoth-
er sphere of operations"
Presumably the British troops are
being withdrawn for service at SalOni-
XII or in Egypt.
Affects 100000 Troops.
The withdrawal affects more than
100000 British troops who have been
vainly attempting for several months
to advance against the Turks in the
Suvla bay and Anzac regions on the
RI, Of in
No mention was made by the war Of
fee of any Withdrawals from the Sedd
el-Bahr region, at the southern tip OF
Gallipol, where French and British
troops hold lines near Krithia.
The withdrawal, however, may be
the forerunner Of abandonment of the
whole Dardanelles campaign in favor
of Balkan operations or to defend
Egypt against the expected Turco-Ger-
man invasion.
More than 100000 British troops,
made up largely of Australians and
New Zealanders, were landed on the
shores of Suvla bay and in the AnZac
region several months after the first
land operations against the Dardan-
Giles were begun from the region Of
Sedd-el-Bahr. Their object was to cut
the communications and drive across
the peninsula to an attack on the OAR
danelles forts from the rear.
UunabIe to Advance.
The attempt failed after nearly
meeting with success in a grand as
sault. The British were driven back
to their trenches close to the waters
edge. They have made no important
advance since the days Immediately
following the landing.
The Suvla bay and Anzac cove posi-
lions are on the north coast of CALI
poll peninsula. Amaze cove is about 16
miles from the tip. Suvla bay is five
miles further on.
Lord Kitchener, secretary of state
for war, recently made trip to the
Dardanelles to investigate conditions
there after General Monro, the British
commander, had recommended that
the campaign there be abandoned. The
present move, it is believed here, is
the result of Lord Kitchener's investi'
cation.
There are two fields of operations in
the near east to which British troops
withdrawn from the GallipOli PENN
sula might be rwarded-Macedoni
and Egypt.
