BRITISH CHANGE PLANS.
The withdrawal of British troops
from the Sulvia bay and Anzac dis
tricts of Gallipoli peninsula indicates
an important change of policy in con
ncctioV with the Dardanelles cam
paign. The hopelessness of carrying
this campaign to a successful conclus
ion, at least along in i u..- -Wen
followed, has been apparent for
some time. It now is conceded, in
fact, that the attempt to gain control
of Gallipili peninsula by ft land all
tack from the west was a grievous
mistake, a blunder that has cost the
British dearly, without anything to
show for it. Moreover, it is further
held by military experts that the sit
uation of the large British forces in
the Snvia and Anzac districts was
f li.rvt neril and likely at
VlitJ I ,
any time to develop into a genuine
