London, Jan. 1.-THE British retire

dressing the house of commons.
"The house will learn with extreme
qualification of the retirement of the
force at Cape Helles (at the tip of the
Gallipoli peninsula), without the loss
Of a single life." the premier said
"Of eleven guns left behind ten

"All stores of reserve ammunition

afire before the retirement. The
whole retirement was conducted with
minimum losses.
These operations. taken in coniunc-
tion with the earlier ones from Suvla
