PREDICTS NEW AND MORE
INFLUENTIAL TURKEY

BERLIN, January 13-"The vice
president of the Turkish parliament,
Husseln Djahid, has contributed an
article to Turkish newspaper under
the ironical caption. Come Again,
Gentlemen upon the evacuation of
Gallipoli by the allies" says the Over
seas News Agency. He sees in this
event not merely the withdrawal of
British and French troops, but turn
ing point in history. He predicts that
a new. victorious Turkey will emerge
and take up her position at the gate
way of Asia. This new period will
bring liberation for oppressed Turks
from English influence.
"Exuitant shouts of joy. the vice
president says, already are heard In
every wretched corner of Asia The
basis for an Independent Asia has been
laid by the sacrifices of the Turkish
army. and therefore all Moslems, and
with them all Asia, greet with shouts
Of derision the retreat of England and
France from the Dardanelles, driven
out by the Moslems."

ROME. January 13.-Two Italian
steamers, the Brindisi and the Citta di
Palermo, have been sunk by mines In
the Adriatic sea.
Half of the passengers on board the
Brindisi were lost. The crew was

Palermo, which was an armed vessel.
were saved.
The Brindisi was sunk January 6 and
the Citta di Palermo, January g. The
Brindisi was a vessel of S63 tons and
was owned at Bari. The Citta di Pal
ermo was built in 1910 and was of 3,415
tons gross. She was a turbine vessel
and was owned by the italian state rail
way of Palermo. This vessel should
not be confused with the vessel of the
same name which is owned by W. F..
Becker of Messina and which sailed
from Galveston January for BARGE
Iona by way of Norfolk.

KITCHENER IN AWE
At GALL|POL| TASK
Had Never Dreamed of Condi-
tionS So Terrible and
Overwhelming.
GEN. SIR CHARLES MONRO
REPORTS ON EMBARKATION
Admits British Losses in Fighting
Which Preceded Retirement
From Peninsula.

LONDON, January 13-Walter Hume
Long, president of the local govern
ment board, speaking at a meeting at
Westminster Tuesday night on the
glorious achievements of the Aus
tralians and New Zealanders in
Gallipoli." said that when Earl
Kitchener, secretary for war, re-
turned from his eastern tour he
told him nothing he had read or
seen in pictures conveyed tho lightest
appreciation of what the real facts
were as he realized them during his
visit to the Gallipoli peninsula
Earl Kitchener declared he had not
believed conditions so terrible. so diff
cult and SO overwhelming in their ma
ture could exist, Mr.. Long said.
Details Of Embarkation.
An additional report from Lieut.. Gen.
Sir Charles C. Monro concerning the
evacuation of the southern tip of the
Gallipoli peninsula and the fighting
that preceded it has been made public.
1t says:
The Turks attempted a heavy attack
on our lines January I. between 1:30
and pm. Our trenches were con-
tinuously shelled, and from to 4 pm.
the bombardment became intense. The
Turks also opened a heavy musketry
fire.
'At o'clock they sprang two mines
near the western Bird Cage and Fusi-
lier Bluff. A quarter of an hour later
they fixed bayonets all along our front.
Their officers were seen apparently en-
deavoring to make their men assault.
They were only successful in doing so
opposite 9TH avenue, and Fusilier
Bluff

Turkish Attack RApulsed.

The Staffordshires completely re-
pulsed an attack and a large propor-
tion of the Turks who attacked were
killed or wounded. Our casualties were
five officers and 130 men killed and
wounded
"Aeroplane reports show that the
naval fire on the left bank was most
accurate, and it is probable that the
enemy suffered considerably.
THE night of the 7th was fine
The evacuation and operations were
quietly and successfully continued. The
sth was fine, with the csea calm un-
til after pm. when the weather
suddenly grew worse. At II pm the
wind had increased to thirty-five miles
per hour
From midnight onward it was only
just possible to use the piers and
lighters, and impossible to carry out
the program of embarking the troops
in destroyers alongside the sunken
ships at West Beach, owing to the
connecting piers being washed away.
The embarkation at Gully Beach be-
came Impossible. One lighter went
ashore there. and the remaining troops
| had to march to West Beach for en-
barlcafion.

Difficulties Were Overcome.

TN spite Of these difficulties. the pro-
gram at West Beach was completed
by 2:30 am, and the troops from Gully
Beach and all the beach party had en-
barked by o'clock.
"a hostile submarine was reported off
Cape Helles about 8 pm. The Turkish
artillery was practically silent the
whole night until the stores were fired
simultaneously by a time fuse after
the evacuation was completed. The
Turks then fred red lights all along
the line and opened heavy shelling on
our beaches and second trenches. The
red lights continued one and a half
hours and the shelling until after day
break.

when the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on We'd
nesday the Democratic managers an
nounced their intention to demand a
recount in every close state.
"AIl we desire is to make sure that
the vote be counted as cast"
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. TO-
Complete returns from 1888 out of
1886 precincts in California at 9:2O
today gave Wilson 466,752 and
Hughes 462,859, a lead for Wilson of
1898.
The reductions in the total vote
for Wilson was caused by a corTec-
ton made by County Clerk Kay OF
Humboldt county, which showed
Wilson had previously been errone-
oOusly credited with 1000 votes. In
sending returns to the United Press
from IA precincts, Kay gave these
figures: Hughes, $3.50; Wilson, 5,O14.
He declared this morning that Will
sons total should have been 4,O14.
Two additional precincts in Hum
boldt county brought Wilson's total
to 4,O49 and Hughes to 5,732. An
additional precinct from San Ber-
nardino county gave Wilson Ais and
Hughes 152.
This leaves only % precincts in
California ODE heard from. The re-
vision of the Humboldt county vote
will not change the general result in
California.

F. Murphy of Tammany Hall, Tom
Taggart of Indiana and Roger SuIli-
van of Illinois.
Only one other PRESIDENT Re
publican-has ever been elected
without the vote Of New York. He
was Rutherford B. Hayes, and his
election over Samuel ]. Tilden in
1876 is the closest parallel in Ameri-
can political history to the close race
of 1916.
Politicians all over the country will
await, with interest the administra-
TONS treatment of the New York
city, Illinois state and Indiana state
Democratic organizations.
Of scarcely less interest among
politicians today than discussion Of
Hughes apparent defeat, even
though carrying New York, Indiana
and Illinois, was what happened in
California. 1t was agreed that
Hughes must have suffered a ire
mendoUs cutting there, since Gov.
Hiram Johnson, senatorial nominee
on the same ticket and idol of the
Progressives, ran nearly 100000
ahead Of him.

answer to tie complaint served on YOU
By the Recdy River Power Company
tiiat the defense of fraud be interposed,

Now, therefore, finding myself un-
able to agree with you in your course
in this action, | deem it wise to tender
to you my resignation as City Attorney
as could not conscientiously under
take to SET up this defense and, there
fore, will not hamper you in your eff
forts to contest the case on this
ground
IN Justice to myself will ask that
this letter be spread upon the minutes
