that amount. This large capacity is
needed to control the great floods
that occasionally occur, the maxi
mum of which at Pittsburgh took
place in March, 1907, when a stage
Of 35.5 feet was reached. Even in

flood wave above the danger line at
Pittsburgh was only about 26,O00,000,-

Prove the Reservoir Claim.
The findings with regard to tho
1912 food at Pittsburgh are pecu.
liarly valuable in bearing out
the claims made as to the effective
control the reservoir system recon-
mended would have had over past
floods at Pittsburgh, had it been in
operation. These claims are based
on studies in which certain assump-
lions had to be made, because, az al
ready stated, complete information
as to the flow of the controlled tri.
butaries was not available. Gaug-
ing stations have now been in opera
ton for several years on all these
streams and the accurate data thus
provided for the study of the 1912
flood have most conclusively demon
strated the conservative character OF
the assumptions that had to be made.
The favorable bearing of this i'm.
portant paper on the storage reser-
voir recommendations is of special
interest at this time on account OF
the active awakening to the need of
water conservation in Pennsylvania.
The people in various parts OF the
state are giving serious study to this
question with the idea of having the
next legislature take some action
looking toward the regulation OF riv-
ers. The work already done in this
connection in Western Pennsylvania
will be important in the selection OF
a definite plan as it is generally be.
lieyed that what is feasible for the
rivers in that section can be applied
to streams all over the state having
flood or low water troubles.

ONLY ONE BRlToN WOUNDED
Official Report Issued In London Says
That Difficult Task Accomplished
With Aid of Navy-Greatest Defeat
of War for the Allies.

London, Jan. 11.-Sir Charles MOnro
reported on Sunday that the Gallipoli
peninsula had been completely evacu-
ated by allied troops.
All but IL guns were embarked.
They were blown up.
The casualties were one wounded.
There were no casualties among the
French.
General Monro states that the sue
cessful accomplishment of this diff
cult task was due principally to Gen.
erals Birdwood and Davies. Invalu-
able assistance was rendered in the
operation under the greatest difficult
ties by Admiral DeRoebeck and the
navy.
Amsterdam, via London, Jan. H.
The British as result of a violent
battle have completely evacuated Sedd-
ul-Bahr, with great losses, says a
dispatch from Constantinople. Not a
single man remained behind.
The dispatch adds that newspaper
reports from the Dardanelles say the
Turkish troops have completely
driven the French and British from
Sedd-ul-Bahr, and that Gallipoli PENN
sula lis now clear of the enemy"
A semioficial report from Constan-
tinople, according to an Amsterdam
dispatch to Reuters Telegram COM
pany, claims the capture by the
Turks of great enemy camp and
nine guns, and the sinking of an en-
envy vessel with troops near Sedd-ul-
Bahr."

In some quarters, in others it had
been believed that the Auglo- British

extremity of the Turkish peninsula

When the retirement of December
Fl took place the war Office let it be
understood that enough troops were
left on the peninsula to carry out sue
cessfully renewal of the offensive
against the Turks when the time was
propitious. From this announcement
it was understood that the troops
were not to be withdrawn.
Therefore the war Offices announce
ment adds the final chapter to what
is generally conceded to have been
the greatest defeat Of the war-a de-
feat that has cost Great Britain alone
more than 100000 men, six battle
ships, millions of money and the repu-
tations OF several military and naval
leaders. The French also have lost
heavily in men and sacrificed a bat
tleship in the futile effort to force a
way to Constantinople.

STATE LACKS AUTO PLATES
Contractor Delivers Number Tags Too
Slowly to Keep Up With the
Demand.

Madison.-Owing to the failure of
the contractor to deliver fast enough,
the state lacks thousands of automo-
bile license plates for 1916 licenses.
The law provides that where applica-
ton has been made for license, the
absence of the new plate will not SUBJ
ject the owner to a fine. At the office
OF the auto license clerk, secretary Of
states office, it was said that $4,000
or 10000 applications have been made
The plates are now promised at 1000
day, but this is too slow delivery, the
Office reports. The constructor had
agreed to have 10000 on hand Dec is.
There are about 100000 autos in the
state. Many owners do not apply for
licenses until spring, leaving their
cars indoors for the winter.
