SWEPT BY BLIZZARD
WINTER PROVING TO BE SEVERE
TEST FOR TURKS AND
AUSTRALIANS.
MANY POSITIONS EVACUATED
Claims Prisoners Taken BY Austra'-
ians Are Poorly CIad-It ls Also
Reported Turkish Troops Are
on Half Rations.

LOndon.-Winter in the Dardanelles
Is proving to be a severe test for the
Australians and Turks alike. Reuters
CORRESPONDENT at this front reports
that the first blizzard OF early Deem
Der found the Turks unprepared. 1t
was necessary for them to evacuate
several positions, as the trenches were
flooded.
The bodies OF several Turkish SOL
diers and many dead mules were
washed into allied trenches. Prisoners
taken by the Australians were poorly
clad and, the correspondent says, re-
ported the Turkish troops were on
half rations.
The colonial troops, including the
Maoris from New Zealand, withstood
the cold. although many of them had
never seen snow before. The British
authorities believe that owing to their
hardy physique and excellent equip
ment, the colonials will get through
the winter satisfactorily.
Turkish activities recently have
been comparatively unimportant.
Such attacks as have been made have
not been pushed. Severe weather is
expected through January and Feb
ruary.

both celebrated about December 25 and later,

day became to be known as the Birthday OF the

When all is ready the beaming host says

feast?" And with great dignity he leads them
with the guest of honor on his arm, followed by
the older people and the children.

knife. but do not take OF the leg.
Then lace down both sides of the breat bone
and open the breast pinion. but do not take it
on. Then raise the Merry Thought between the
breast bone and the top of it," and SO on till
the turkey is boned. While this is being done
the Christmas bowl is passed.
After they are helped to turkey and pig they

The Correct Manners.

The children were kept in order. In all the

At last. when they have eaten to the extent Of
their capacity. the plum pudding blazing and

in and eaten with brandy sauce. Then the toasts

 Owing to the painful injury of Charley Carroll in batting practice it is likely that Cecil Coomhs will adorn the initial sack for the next few days.
