RUSSIANS FALL BACK
80 NILES FROM TICRIS
Retreat from Intense Heat After
Meeting Huge Force.

London, July "A Petrograd dis
patch 70 1.-THE Daily Telegraph" says
that the Russians have fallen back al
most eighty miles in the Bagdad region.
The dispatch says the pressure Of
the Turkish forces was only one Of the
reasons which caused the retirement of
the Russians. The Turks are said to
have gathered a great army TO contest
the Russian advance. Among these
troops was the force originally destined
for the invasion Of Egypt, troops which
hai been in Bulgaria and an army OF
10000 men which was withdrawn from
the Salonica front.
The principal reason, however, given
for the retreat of the Russians is the
intense heat In MesOpotamia.

ALASKA'S GREAT GROWTH
 SHOWN IN INCREASED VOTE

The vote of Alaska at the election last week tells an edifying tale of the progress of the territory during the last two years, says the Juneau Empire of November l5. There has been an increase of approximately 40 per cent in the total vote cast. When the returns are all in it will be discovered tha. the total vote of the territory was nearly or quite 14,O00.
 This great increase has been mostly in the First and Third divisions The First division, until recently the smallest in the territory. and two years ago the second m size. has become the first. The Third dlvl- sion. formerly the third in size, has become the second, and the Fourth, which led at all elections before the present, is now the third in size, though it actually has in creased The Second, which was the second in size during its palmy days, IS now, as two years ago, the fourth.
 The First division cast almost 5000 votes, and at that the vote was more than 1000 short of the possibilities. The vote on Gastineau channel was considerably over 2,5OO, and 1t was more than 500 short of its full quota.
 There were more than 100 First division voters out of the territory whose voting place is Gastineau channel that were on the Sulzer lists alone.
 The population of Alaska IS growing at rapid rate, and Gastineau channel IS by long distance the leading center of popul1- ton in the territory

PENGUIN FRIED IN RUBBER
 WASFEATURE OF THEIR MENU

Life on Elephant is and, on the Antarctic as t was experienced by the marooned men of Lieutenant Sir Ernest ShacLletOn's eXpe dition, who were recently rescued and taken to Chile, is described in message recently received from Punta Arenas and published in the London Daily Chronicle.
 "The day began" says the description with breakfast, which consisted merely of penguin fried in blubber with a drink of water The morning duties consisted in clearing away snowdrifts and catching pen guin Lunch was served at 1 o'clock con sistng of a biscuit with raw bIubber. The afternoon was occupied with regular excr- else over z track 100 yards in length.
 At , o'clock, when darkness fell, came dinner, consisting of penguin breast and beef tea. Lacking tobacco, the men smoked grass from the padding in their boots, while the pipes were carved from birds bones and wood The members of the party took turns in reading aloud from the Bible, an en- cyclopedia, Browning, Bacons Essays, y and Carlvle's French Revolution Satur day evening was always marked by a con cert, the feature of which was banjo play ing A banjo was the only musical nstru- ment in camp.
 "On one occasion there was a welcome addition to the diet, when several undl- gested fish were found in the stomach of a eal and greatly enjoyed. These were the only fish obtained during our stay. In August there was change in the diet, when timpets were gathered and seaweed was available as vegetable.
 We were in the midst of these ljmpet and seaweed lunches when the rescue boat was Siehted.
 When was the war over?" was the first nuestiOn asked
