dispatches today assert that there are
i vldetices that the allies are preparing
l ) withdraw from the Gallipoli cam- i
paign and abandon the attempt to reach
t'oiis autinoopie. The reports says j
hat transports are arriving on the!
(I,df of Haros and the allied reserve
troops are apparently falling back at
several points as If in preparation to
embark on the troop ships.
It is anticipated here that the with
drawal of the hostile forces from that
section will result in the practical
abandonment of the German plan to
cut a way through the Serbian terri
tory. It is not accepted that the "con
qtu st of Serbia will be stopped us every
effort will be made to take possession.
The withdrawal will, however, have
the effect of allowing the withdrawal of
a large number of men for use on other
fronts and it Is expected that this
will have an Immei se influence on the
future of the war.
