Joy in ConstantinODIe.

Berlin, Jan. 10, by wireless to Say ville.-The news agency of the defin- ite failure of the Dardanelles expedi- tfon aroused enormous joy and satis- faction in Constantinople," says the Overseas News Agency in a message distributed today. Bunting was dis played and the schools were closed"
 'The Berlin newspapers" contin- ues the news 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 MT. Asquith in parliament Nov. 9, 1914, that the Turkish Empire had committed suicide and had dug it's own grave, and those of MT. Churchill at a later date, that through the Dar- danelles lay the shortest road to tri- umphant peace. The newspaper fur ther calls attention to the fact that important Turkish contingents are now free for action in other fields"

Superior Forces of Turks.

Recent despatches have indicated that the British expedition in Meso- potamia was confronted by Turkish forces of superior size and that it would have difficulty in maintaing it. self at Kut-El-Amara. The defenSeS of the city in fact, were attacked by the Turks some time ago, resulting in severe fighting. but the British were able to srepalse the assaults.
 The retreat from Kut- El-Amara- assuming the correctness of the un- official advices from Berlin-appar- ently means the abandonment by the British of any attempt, for the pres ent at least. of an offensive cam paign in Mesopotamia. It was in November of 1914 that an Anglo Indian force, starting from the Per sian Gulf, began marching north and west over the desert, following She Tigris and Euphrates rivers wherever possible The fighting was slow and exhausting. Tn September of 1915, the British reached -El-Amara They defeated the Turks there and advanced to Ctesiphon IS miles be- low Bagdad.
 The Turks sent up large forces and won victory over the invaders. The British fell back on Ku-El-Amara.

 SCULPTOR GAS VICTIM
Rembrandt Bugatti Found Uncon- scious in Studio With Jet Turned
 On-Dies in Hospital.

Paris, Jan. 10, 9:34 a. m.-The Italian animal sculptor, Rembrandt Bugatti, was found yesterday lying unconscious in his studio in Rue Jo- sept-Bava, the result of gas poison ing. A gas jet in the studio was turned on. Signor Bugatti was taken to a hospital, where he died.
 The work of signor Bugatti is rep resented in most of the galleries of Europe. When the war opened he was modelling animals at the Zoologi- cal Gardens in Antwerp. He gave up this work and devoted himself to assisting the Belgian ambulance corps. When Antwerp was evacuated he went to Holland and thence to Italy, but as his class was not mobilized he soon left Italy, coming to Paris.
 Of late Signor Bugatti was greatly depressed by the sufferings of the Belgians, for whom he had great ad- miration. He frequently pointed to the ribbon of the Legion of Honor in his buttonhole and said: "I ought to give it to some mutilated Belgian soldier."
 Signor Bugatti gave up some time ago his work in the specially which won his fame, saying: This is not the time to make animals He de- voted himself entirely to a new in depreciation of Christ. This work, now at the foundry, is his last.

Members of Mattabessett tribe, I. o. R. M., whether or not they are mem bers of the Swedish Lutheran church, feel that they have a distinct grievance against the pastor, Rev. Dr. s. C..

 When pr. Ohman arrived, he sought out the sachem of the tribe and informed him that either the Red Men must omit their service or he would refuse to perform the church ceremony.
