NO AUTO SHOW HERE
Suitable Room For Exposition Can
not be Obtained.

Oskaloosa people will feel keen dis
appointment in the announcement
that the contemplated 1916 auto show
will not be staged.
True, we have the dealers, and the
machines in number, nor is enterprise
lacking, but the place for holding
such a show is wanting. Not in all
Oskaloosa is a suitable location for
an automobile show to be had and
hence the dealers must be- content
to exhibit cars from the floors of
their own garage and to attract peo-
Pile as best they may.
Several times previously Oskaloosa
has enjoyed an auto show, but that
of last year, held for whole week
in the Jones-Reigel building on High
avenue west, was the largest show
of the kind yet attempted and hosts
of people visited the place. Dealers
say they benefited by the show and
intention existed to duplicate the show
again this season.
No room however is now available
and this lack of suitable location is
at the foundation of the abandonment
of the enterprise. ~ y. ~ 5....
And again is stress and emphasis
laid upon the fact that Oskaloosa is
without a place for large public gath
erings. Company H, Third Regt., l.
N. G., needs an armory and the public
needs a place for such occasions as
the automobile show. Need or such
a place has been felt before, but here
we have a case of a desirable enter
prise failing for the lack OF suitable
housing.

ALLIED FORCES ! :

Peninsula Completely Evacuated,
Says Gen. Monro.
ONLY ONE BRIToN WOUNDED
otfieIai Report Says That Difficult
Task Was Accomplished With Aid
of NaVy-Greatest Defeat Of
War for the Allies.

@-A-~
London, Jan. 1O.-sir Charles MonrO
reported that the Gallipoh peninsula
had been completely evacuated by al
lied troops. ..
All but II 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
fessful accomplishment Of this difficult
task was due principally to Generals
Birdwood and Davies. Invaluable as
sistance was rendered in the operation
under the greatest difficulties by Ad-
miral DeRoebeck and the navy.
Move Surprises Many.
/ While this move had been expected
in some quarters, in others 1t had
been believed that the Anglo-British
force was to be left at the southern
extremity OF the Turkish peninsula
ito keep the Turks bottled up"
} When the retirement Of December
81 took place the war office let 1t
were left on the peninsula to carry
out successfully a renewal Of the
offensive against the Turks when the
time was propitious. From this an
nouncement 1t 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 defeat
that has cost Great Britain alone more
than 100000 men, six battleships, mil
lions of money and the regulations OF
several military and naval leaders.
The French also have lost heavily in
men and sacrificed battleship in the
futile effort to force q way to Constan-
tinople.
Retirement Great Feat.
Despite the ignominious nature OF
the glo-French defeat in the OAR
danelles, much satisfaction Is ex-
pressed In military circles over the
complete success Of the retirement,
which was accomplished with almost
mo casualties and, according to all re-
ports, without the death Of single
soldier. This achievement 10 counted
as one of the most wonderful feats of
the war.

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity Of Obtaining Air In
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person In
a thousand knows how the seal of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice.
The small, spotted seal, which Is q
hair seal, and not a fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic, the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
Ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages 1t; and although he is
obliged to work most of the time, be-
cause the surface of the hole is con-
tinually freezing, he keeps 1t open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill In
this manner through 30 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seaI holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply of meat.

Twelve EXPELLED
FROM RUSS OUMA
MEETING OF THE RUSSIAN PAR,
LAMENT is ATTENDED BY
VIOLENT DISORDERS.
Premier TrepoH Has Hostile Greet
ing and as Result Leaders Of the
Socialist and Labor Parties
Are Expelled.

Petrograd.-The eagerly awaited re-
assembling of the duma took place
December 2, without any promise of
final settlement of the dispute be-
tween the government and the rep
resentatives of the people. Leaders
of the duma said they are uniformed
as to the attitude adopted by the gov
ernment and did not look for any inns
mediate clearing of the political at
mosphere.
When Premier Trepoff mounted the
tribune in the duma to read the gov
ernment's statement, the parties of
The extreme left began a hostile dem
onstration.
M. Trepoff thrice appeared on the
tribune, but as often left, owing to
the turmoil.
The president of the duma there
upon proposed expulsion for eight sit
tings of twelve leaders of the social
ist and labor parties, including the
leaders, Tcheldse and Krenski. This
proposal was adopted and the premier
delivered his speech.
M. Trepoff expressed satisfaction at
the patriotic activities of the munich
palities, and said that the government
would take all possible measures for
the establishment of settled order be-
hind the army. In the present time,
the premier said, this lack OF order
had been felt in questions of supply,
with the result that the population in
many regions was experiencing diff
culties as regards foods. 1t might
be necessary, he said, to renounce
the system of restrictions.
The premier declared that transport
difficulties necessitated an examina.
ton into the railway construction. He
declared tht measures must be taken
to increase the production of metals
and fuel, and that the construction
OF factories was imperative.
