SUPERIOR Turkish Forces.

Recent dispatches have indicated that
the British expedition in Mesopotamia
was confronted by Turkish forces OF su-
perior size and that it would have dif-
ficulty in maintaining itself at kut-El-
Amara. The defenses of the city. in fact,
we're attacked by the Turks some time
ago, resulting in severe fighting, but the
British were able to repulse the assaults.
The retreat from ut-El-Amara-as-
suming the correctness Of the unofficial
advices from Berln-apparently means
the abandonment by the British Of any
attempt, for the present, at least, at an
offensive campaign in Mesopotamia.
1t was in November of 1914 that an
Anglo Indian force, starting from the
Persian gulf. began marching north
and west over the desert, following the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers wherever
possible.
Within Eighteen Miles of Bagdad.
British pushed northward steadily un-
til, in September of 1915. they reached
Kut- -El-Amara. which is go miles
northwest of the head of the Persian
gulf They defeated the Turks there
miles below Bagdad.
The Turks sent up large forces to
save Ba gdad, and after an initial de-
feat again attacked and won a victory
over the invaders. The British fell
back on Kut-El- -Amara. 105 miles
southeast of Bagdad. but there has
been no previous intimation that they
intended to abandon this point.

Joy in Constantinople

The news of the definite failure OF
the Dardanelles expedition arouses en-
ormous JOY and satisfaction In Constan-
tinople," says the Overseas News
Agency in a message distributed to-
day. Bunting was displayed and the
schools were closed.
The Berlin newspapers" continues
the agency message. point out the loss
of prestige which this means for the
British. besides the enormous losses OF
men. ships and money. They recall the
proud words of Mr.. Asquith, in parlia-
ment, on the 9Th of November. 1914,
that the Turkish empire had committed
suicide and had dug its own grave, and
those of Mr.. Churchill, at later date.
that through the Dardanelles lay the
shortest road to triumphant peace. Tho
newspapers further call attention to
the fact that important Turkish con-
tingents are now free for action in
other fields"

Announced in London.

LONDON, January 10.-It is officially
announced that the complete evacua-
ton of the Gallipoli peninsula has
been successfully carried out.
Gen. Sir Charles Monro, according to
the official statement, reports that only
one British soldier was wounded in the
evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula,
that there were no casualties among
the French and that all the guns were
saved except seventeen wornout ones,
which were blown up.
The official communication issued last
evening says:
Official British Statement.
Gen. Sir Charles Monro reports
the complete evacuation of Gallipoli
has been successfully carried out.
"Ml the guns and howitzers were
got away, with the exception of seven
teen wornout guns. which were blown
up by US before leaving.
Our casualties amounted to one
member of the British rank and file,
wounded There were no casualties
among the French.
Gen. Monro states that the accom-
plishment of this difficult task was due
to Gems. Birdwood and Davies, and in
valuable assistance rendered in an op-
GRAFTON of the highest difficulty by Adj
miral de Robeck and the Royal Navy"
Evacuation Brings Relief.
The London morning papers comment
with satisfaction and relief on the sue
cessfui evacuation of Gallipoli They
consider despite Gen, Monro's generous
tribute to Gems. Birdwood and Davies,
that credit for the remarkable double
retirement should be attributed to
Gen. Monro himself The Times says
editorially:
Twice within a Few weeks Gen.
Monro has managed TO remove his
men and guns under the eyes of the
Turks and their German officers. We
doubt if precedent for such an
can be found in the an.
nails of war.
The extraordinary freedom from
casualties at Helles is explainable to
some extent by the fact that, unlike
Anzac and Suvla. it gave us one beach
sh..ered from the enemy's fire. But
neither operation would have been pos
sible with any but the boldest and
steadiest troops. The government may
be congratulated on their prompt de-
cision of the complete evacuation of
the peninsula"

FRIDAY, OCTOBER Q, 1910.

II is unfortunate that 80 many mae
curate rumors have found their way
into print in connection with the eXper'
fences of the First Vermont Infantry
on their trip to the border There Is
always more or less grumbling about a
military camp, just as there is at
woman's sewing circle, but the grump-
lers in neither case represent the geo.
eral sentiment 1t is not true that the
men did not have sufficient or suitable
clothing and shoes at Eagle Pass. The
ouartermaster, Capt. Harry NJ East
man. was one of the most efficient OH
GERS of the regiment. 1t was under
stood that if any quartermaster couId
get through requisition promptly, he
could. The regiment was well clothed
and comfortably shod, and the word oil
Col. Reeves that the First Vermont
was better equipped when they arrived
on the border than was his regiment OF
the regular army in the Santiago cam
paign in 1898 should put stop to all
cavl.
Neither is it true that the students OF
the University of Vermont were all
"grouchers", complaining of the hard
work that falls to the lot of the soldier,
whining to get home, and vowing that
they would never enlist in the militia
again. Company C had its full share OF
the work and under Captain Cootey
acquitted itself creditably If they had
been let alone, without home pressure
to get back to college, they would have
stood to their tasks as Loyalty as any
one. Any one who knows the spirit OF
college students knows that the Uni
versity boys would respond to another
call just as eagerly.
Vermont must keep up its military
spirit. The First Infantry should be
maintained in its present high state OF
efficiency. Some day, and perhaps not
very far in the future, President OF
steady purpose will send out a call tC
the colors, and then Vermont must be
ready.

Try as you will, after an application
OF Dande7ine, you can not find sin

and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most, will be after a
weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but re-

A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty Of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, Just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazing-yo hair will
be light: fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance of abundance; an incom-
parable lustre, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get 25.cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
