WITHDRAWAL OF
BUSH HOPS
UPON GALLIPOLI
Forces at Anzac Cove and Salva Bay
Regions of Peninsula Successfully
Taken Away Long Expected Of
fensive by Germans in Flanders Be
gun Saturday With Repulse.
LONDON Dec. 20 Tlio British
troops at thu Stilvn mid Anzno dis
tricts T llio Gitllipuli iin1nsiilu lmvc
been withdrawn.
Tho following official statement
was issued here leduy:
"All the troops nt Sttvla nnd An
zac, together with their mini and
store., have been successfully trans
ferred with insignificant casualties
to another sphere of operations."
The Suvln Bay nnd Anzac Cove
positions arc on tlio north coast of
Onllipoli peninsula. Anzac Cove is
about -sixteen miles from thu tip.
Suvln is five miles farther on.
No Details Clvcn
As no mention is made in the Brit
ish announcement of the allied posi
tion in thu Scddul Bahr position at
the tip of the peninsula, it is not clear
whether tlio withdrawal of troops in
dicates a decision to abandon the ef
fort lo force the Dardanelles or
means merely n readjustment of the
allied forces.
There have been no previous hints
of such a move, although the question
had been raised in F.nglnnd whether,
in view of the fniltne of the allies to
make appreciable headway at thu
Dardanelles mid the urgent need for
additional troops at Salouiki, the
Jlaidanelles forces would bo with
drawn. ' Two official TurkiMi com
munications received today spoke of
heavy firing from land and 'sea by
the allies, but mentioned no move
ments out of thu ordinary, although
this bombardment may huo been
conducted to cover the withdrawal.
Destination I'liKiiown
Tlio war offieo statement leaves
thu public lo draw its own conclus
ion'' as to the destination of these
Australasian and I'nitcd Kingdom
forces which must be well over 100,
(100 strong. It is widely conjectured,
however, that any southward sweep
of tlio Teutonic or Bulgarian nnnicn
in the Balkans, whether the north,
wefct or oast, will iooner or lalor come
in contact with them, nnd that tin
transfer is connected with a deter
mination nu the part of thu entente
powers not to remain on the defens
ive in the noar eastern theater of war
longer than is requisite to nstiiro the
succeis of u lorwiud march.
.Mnccstoulu or Kg)pt
There nio two fields of operations
in thu near cast to which British
trooM withdrawn from thu Gullipoli
peninsula might be forwarded -Mnoedoniu
and JJgypt.
London looks for an attack on the
nllied positions nt Salouiki. There is
no official information ns to the
jitinibor of French mid British troops
in Greece, which lias been estimated
recently at about 200,000. Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey have
nt their disposal several times that
number of men, uud it may bo assum
ed that cery effort will lie made to
uonceutrato a considerable allied
force on the Salouiki buc. This
Greek port is within easy bailing dis
tance of tho Gallipnli peninsula.
