London Jan. g, 1925 D. m.-The re- rnaining positions held by the allies on Gallipoli peninsula have now been abandoned with the wounding of only one man among the British and French. according to a British official statement issued tonight.
 This news has been expected for several days by the keener observers of the near eastern campaign, for the retirement of the troops from Anzac and Suvla Bay three weeks ago left no strategic advantage to the reten- ton of the tip of the peninsula. Never theless, the news was received with regret by the people of the British Isles as well as the colonies.
 Renewed Activity of Turks.
 Renewed activity. of various kinds noted by the Turkish official com rnunications in the past few days has presumably been in the nature of preparations for the final act of the Dardanelles tragedy. Tonight's Turk tsh official statement, covering the pc rfod from Thursday to Saturday, re- cords that in consequence of the rein- foreements, Turkish batteries have been drawing in and concentrating on the, allies remaining positions.
 British Subjects Regretfui.
 Another pang to the British public will be caused by the announcement
 
 King Edward VII. which has been blown up by mine. The brief official statement on this subject does not re- veal the scene of the accident and merely says that the disaster occurred in a heavy sea. despite which the en- tire crew was saved before the ship went down.
 British BattIeship Sunk.
 The King Edward VII represented an i'm nf was one of the finest of the last class of pre- e-dreadnoughtS corresponding in general to the American, ships of the New Jersey and Nebraska type, and was only slightly older than the Natal which was sunk by an internal expIo- sion about a week ago.
 No Developments of Importance.
 On the west and east fronts there have been no developments of large importance over the week end. The German communication announced that the Germans have completed the recapture of positions on Hartmanns- Weilsrkops taken by the French a few days before Christmas.
 Greek correspondents continue to as- sert that the Bulgarians and Germans are hastening plans for an attack on Saloniki. But the Austrians are fight ing hard against the Russians and Montenegrins and the Bulgars and are A@IGGly OCIuR1Su HI d ISSO1Ql6 dLl0IApL to reach the Adriatic. from which they Are only forty miles distant at Elhas- san, Albania.
 Eneland's Internal Affairs Quiet.
 England's internal affairs are quiet, pending the reassembling of parlia- ment There will De night debate on the compulsion bill Tuesday, with David Lloyd George, minister of muni- nons, and Arthur Henderson, labor member, who has just resigned from the cabinet, as the probable star speakers. Sir Henry Dalziel, who has been one of the most consistent critics of the government, will also give his reasons why he supports the govern ment on this matter.
 The labor party will meet early in the week to consider it's position. Un- less. however, opposition to the bill develops, a strength of which there is no indication now. there seems no likelihood that the government will feel need to appeal to the country.
