was given striking evidence here this
afternoon by the passage of reso-

this session to at least 81, 600. 900.
This is nearly 100000 less than was
appropriated last year and over
Sl,100, 900 less than is asked for this
session. With this idea of pruning
in mind, the ways and means COM

ALLIES ABANDON
GALL|POLl PENINSULA
LARGE BRITISH BATTLESHIP
KING EDWARD VII BLOWN UP
BY MINE--CREW SAVED.

London, January 9:-The remain
ing positions on Gallipoli peninsula
held by the allies have been aban-
doned with the wounding of only
one man among the British and
French. according to a British Off
cial statement issued tonight.
This news has been expected for
several days, for the retirement of
the troops from Anzac and from
Suvla Bay three weeks ago left no
strategic advantage to the retention
of the top of the peninsula.
Nevertheless, the news will be re-
ceived with pang of regret by the
people of the British Isles, as well as
the colonies.
Renewed activity of various kinds
noted by the Turkish official COM
munications in the past few days
has presumably been in the nature
of preparations for the final act of
the Dardanelles tragedy. Tonight's
Turkish official statement covering
the period from Thursday to Satur-
day, records increasing effectiveness
of the reinforced turkish batteries,
which have been drawing in and con-
centrating on the allies remaining
position.
Another pang to the British public
will be caused by the announcement
tonight of the loss of the battleship
King Edward VII, which has been
blown up by mine. The brief Of
ficial statement on the incident does
not reveal the scene of the accident
and merely says that the disaster
occurred in a heavy sea. despite
which the entire crew was saved be-
fore the ship went down.
The King Edward VII represented
an investment of nearly 81 800 900,
and was one of the finest of the last
class of pre-dreadnaughts, cores
ponding in general to the American
ships of New Jersey and Nebraska
type, and was only slightly older
than the Natal, which was sunk by
an internal explosion about a week
ago.
