SMITH MFG. co. ON
IO-HOUR SCHEDULE
Looks for Far Greater Demand Com
ing Year, Although Had All it
Gould Do During Past Year.

The S. A. Smith Mfg. Co. began
running this morning on a 10-hour
schedule. Since about two weeks be
fore Christmas the firm has been
operating on an S-hour schedule. While
this is the same as was done a year
ago and while the company had all the
business it could handle the past year,
it is expected that the demand the
coming year will far exceed that Of
1915.
Frank L. Hunt, who was in New
York last week, says that there is
more confidence among business men
and that buyers are placing orders
ahead whereas last year they bought
by the hand-to-mouth process up to
the first Of August.
Approximately 100 hands are being
employed by the local concern at his
factory on Frost street.

HAVE EVACUATED
GALLIPOLI PENINSULA
Complete Abandonment of the Cam
paign on the Entente Allies Against
the Dardanelles.

LONDON, Jan. 10. - 1t is officially
announced that the complete evacua-
tion of the Gallipcli peninsula has been
successfully carried out. Only one
British soldier was wounded in the
operation, there were no casualties
among the French, and all the guns
were saved, except II WORKOUT ones,
which were blown up.
With the withdrawal of the British
and French forces from the southern
tip of the GallipoH peninsula following
the evacuation of the Anzac and Suvla
Bay portions en- the western coast in
the middle of December there has come
to an end a movement which was be-
gun with expectations of achievements
which would have a great bearing on
the outcome of the war.
Thousands upon thousands of men
were killed in the enterprise of effect
ing landings on the Turkish coast and
in the fighting since. In addition, a
number of battleships and smaller war
craft of the entente allies have been
sunk or damaged as they bombarded
the Turkish fortifcations in an en-
! deavor to aid their forces on shore.
The chief military purpose of the
| IDardanelles campaign, which was begun
| in February, 1915, with the lombard
ment of Turkish forts at the entrance
to the Straits by entente allied war
ships, was the capture Of CONSTANT
nople, and the opening of the Bospho
rus, which connects the Mediterranean
with the Black sea, so that Russia
might have an avenue for the recent
of arms and ammunition and also fol
the expectation of Russian grain. Fo1

great that it lifted ferry boat just
