Sulva and Ansae districts have been
withdrawn and will be transferred to
other points outside of the Gallipoli
district.
It Is stated that part of the allied
forces will leave at once for Salonika
ami the remainder to Egypt. As the
fences lately occupying the districts
named represent the larger portion of
the British forces on Gallipoli it Is
believed that their withdrawal means
nothing less than that the campaign

be utterly inadequate to operate ef
fectively against the p itverful Turkish
army opposing their advance. Military
■ rltlcs are today pointing out that the

tlfty thou9ajid Turkish soldiers thus
greatly Increasing the effectiveness of
