British Send Troops to Orfano and

Off Asia Minor.

London, Dec 31-Two new land
ings by the Allies in the near East
are reported The British have trans
ferred some troops from Saloniki to
Orfano small Greek port, 60 miles
east of Saloniki, with the intention
of thus checking any possibility of a
hostile advance from this quarter.
The second landing was made by the
French on the Greek island of Catel-
lorizo, off the southeast coast of Asia
Minor, not far from the important
seaport of Adalia.
An Athens dispatch says that the
occupation of Adalia is the object OF
the landing. A railway runs north
of Adalia and the presence there of a
strong allied force would menace the
communications of any hostile force
operating against Egypt or the lower
Tigris region.

sponded to be told by Julius A.

winfield Scott Hammond had been
stricken by death and that it had
thereupon become imperative that Mr..
Burnquist, as lieutenant governor,
dress and journey to the states capt

When Mr.. Burnquist took that

Then and there the political COM
