SAYS TURKS WILL DRIVETHE ALLIES
 FROM GALLIPOLI.
Ottoman Field Marshal Pre- diets Humiliation of Op-
 posing Forces.

Constantinople, Jan. 1.-The with draWa1 of a large portion of the AL lied troops on the GaIIipoH Peninsula has been almost coincident with the arrival at the Turkish front of heavy German and Austrian batteries, which are so formidable that~the people of Constantinop1e believe there is no longer the slightest doubt as to the ability of the Ottoman army to clear the Peninsula of the invaders. Large shipments of ammunition for the Fur kish artillery also recently reach ed the Dardanelles coast batteries and the field guns, and according to indi- cations in the Turkish official report, creasing their effectiveness in arti1- F1ery fire.
 Field Marshal Iiman von Sanders Pasha, recently pointed out that with sufficient artillery at his disposal the Allied troops would find difficult to remain on the Peninsula, especially if their artillery was able to keep the British and French men of war from coming too close to the coast.
 AS pointed out in previous despatch es, the lack of sufficient artillery and ammunition proved at times a sore problem for the Turkish troops. The Turkish artillery fire was always weak and the Allied Warships were able to take the Turkish positions under the most ga1Hng fire without running the slightest risk, except that occAsioned by the presence of German suDrna- rines. It was only occasionally that one of the Allied ships, venturing in too closely was hit. The fire of the British monitors, also, by reason of being Thigh curve'' made certain ex- posed trenches of the Turks next to, untenable. But the Turkish infanZ it has become a popular saying in Con- stantinop1e that they defended Galli- poll with their naked breasts
 The installment of the heavy Ger man and Austrian guns will make it necessary for the British monitors, torpedo boats and cruisers to keep at a respectful distance after this. With the Allied trenches. also exposed to the fire of heavy mortars, it is de- cIared that the fate of the British and French troops on the Ga1Hpoli Penin- sula is sealed. In fact, say the Fur 1kish authorities, to take them away while there is yet a. chance would be an act of mercy. The prospects of success for the Allies are declared to be So slight that it would require an as great as has already been made to bring the British and French any clo- ser to Constantinop1e.
 Although tens of thousands of the Turkish infantrymen fought for some time with rifles of the antique Snyder type, they nave all now been eQu1ppeO with modern models, notably the ride:, taken from the Russians. The great scarcity of machine. guns in the Ot- toman army is also a thing of the past. Everything that could tend to place the Turkish army on an equal footing with the best organization in Europe has been rushed here since the opening of traffic on the Danube.
 To-day it has become question whether or not it is possible for the Allies to remove the rest of their troops without losing a great share of
