TURK SUPREME AT STRAIT
LONDON, Jon. 10.
Turkish force, cstlmntol nt more thnn
iSCOOO, have been released for use In other
theAtrea of war by the nctton of the Al
lied In completely nbnndonlnR the Dar
danelles campaign.
Thev comprise tlio nrlze corns of the
Turkish nrmy, haril fighters seasoned In J
fierce battles on Gallipoli. Tho greater
part of this force. It Is believed here, will
oe thrown at onco Into the proposed
1-Rytitlnn campaign or sent Into Mesopo
tamia to aid the attempt to drive tho Hrll- I
Ish out of tho Garden of Eden.
With them will ro several thousand
heavy guns and field pieces of all callbro
employed by the Turks In withstanding
the ntno months' nssault of the AnKto
French troops rrom Hcrtriul-Hahr and
Bulva Bay Loss than I0,WW men, It Is es
timated here, will be required to garrison
the Dardanelles fortB for tho remainder
of the war
No hint as to what disposition will be
made of the AnRlo-Krencli forces with
drawn from Gallipoli Is permitted to bo
mndc public by the censor. There Is con
siderable' speculation, however, ns to the
possibilities, both In the Balkans and In
Egypt. Climatic conditions In Gallipoli
have particularly fitted tho Dardanelles
troops for operations In Egypt should they
be needed.
A large fleet of battleships, cruisers,
submarines, destroyers, minesweepers
ami other war craft were set free for
operations elsewhere with the abandon
ment of the Dardanelles attempt.
Details of the evacuation of the last po
sitions at Bcdul-Bahr were still lacking
today. The public, however, takes no
stock In Constantinople dispatches trans
mitted through Amsterdam reporting that
the Allies' losses were extremely heavy.
The London Dally Impress, commenting
on tho ofTlclal report of General Monro
that British casualties consisted of one
man wounded and that the French suf
fered no losses, declared that tho with
drawal was ''tho most glorious failure In
history." pther papers voiced slmllnr ex
pressions of satisfaction that tho troon
had been withdrawn without heavy
slaughter.
That complete evacuation of the Gal
lipoli positions was Inevitable wns gen
erally understood hero after the surrender
of the positions at Suvla Bay and In tho
Anzac region to the Turks. The Turkish
commanders nt onco transferred their
Suvla Bn' forces to Scddul-Btihr and
were prepnrlng nn attempt to overwhelm
the Anglo-French troops nt tho tip of
Gallipoli.

Fronch withdrawal from Gallipoli
Peninsula, according to Constantinople
dispatches today, reporting tho greatest
Turkish victory of tho war.
"Turkish artillery sank nn enemy trans

reported. "All the enemy's positions were
occupied by Turkish troops and enormous
piles of booty, as yet uncounted, were
taken. In the final fighting a Turkish
aeroplane shot down nn enemy blplnno

MINE SWEEPERS COMB
WATERS ABOUT BRITAIN
(Loss of Edward VII Indicates
Presence of Fatal Explo
sives in Seas
LONDON, Jnn. 10, Mine-sweeping op
erations on a vast scale have been In
augurated 'since the destruction of the
Brtlsh battleship King Edwnrd VII. pre
sumably by a mine planted by n Ocrmnn
submarine.
Although all the members of 'the ship's
crew, 777 men, were saved, the loss of thq
King Kdward VII Is n serious blow to the
British fleet, for it was one of the finest
of the last class of predreadnoughts.
Since the German U-boats gave up their
campaign of destruction against mercan
tile shipping evidence has developed that
many of these underwater craft have
been equipped for mine-laying purposes,
and are carrying- on this work In the most
unexpected places around the British
Isles.
Tho King Kdward VII was the 22d Im
portant warship lost by England since
the war began.
The loss of the battleship comjng nt the
same time as the announcement that the
allied forces have completely evacuated
the Gallipoli peninsula caused gloom, but
Government leaders, referring to the old
adage, "It's nn III wind tnat blows no
good," believe that this dlsnstrous news
will have a good effect on recruiting and
further nllay opposition to conscription.

Continued from Tage One
sections of the big plant noticed n ter
rific flare from tho "sweetie" building.
This wns followed a frnctlon of a minute
Inter by a terrific explosion, which caused
the small brick building to collapse. Two
minor explosions followed, hurling bricks
and debris for several hundred feet.
UODin.S DISMEMBERED.
The flro compnnles at the plnnt nnd the
emergency hospttnl corps rushed to tho
scene and the work of searching the ruins
began, It was not until daylight thnt the
three bodies were taken from the ruins,
dismembered and burned beyond recog
nition. Tho flaro nnd the force of the explosion,
mennwhlle, hnd nnnkencd hundreds of
persons In Wilmington nnd nearby town.i
and those whose relatives worked on tho
first shift hurried to Carney's Tolnt for
news. An extrn gunrd wns thrown
around tho plnnt, nnd others, employed In
IMnnt No. 1, wero told to go home nnd
keep their mouths shut.
Several workmen, who drpped their
tools nnd attempted to get near tho
burning building, wero ordered from tho
grounds. Sovernl who persisted In stny
lng wero promptly discharged.
Tho ferryboat Arctic, which runs be
tween Wilmington nnd Carney's Point,
wns In midstream when tho explosion
occurred. Several panes of glnss wero
shattered and one or two persons wero
hurled to the floor so great wns tho
shock. It was at first thought that tho
engines of the boat had exploded nnd
there was a general rush for tho doors.
Prompt work on the port of . the deck
hands nnd the Illumination of iht sky
prevented n panic.
Tho numerous oxploslons which hnve oc
curred during tho last year In tho various
plnnts of the company, the presence of nn
neroplane, which wan seen hovering
nround Chester on Frldny, nnd the mys
terious warnings which were posted on
trees nnd telegraph poles on November
30, Inst, following the explosion at tho
Brnndywlno plant, which cost 32 lives,
gave rise to tho bomb plotters story,
which wns freely ctrculnted nmong tho
workmen todny.
EXPLOSION ACCIDENTAL.
One man pointed out that tho mysterious
notice warned tho workmen that "30 men
wero killed yesterday. Those who do not
want to die between tho 1st nnd 15th of
January quit your Jobs at once." These
rumors, however, wero laughed at by the
officials, who said today's explosion was
purely nn nccldent.
AIoslous McNnlly, who lives at 81st
street and Gibson avenue, was notified of
the death of Mb stepbrother, Richard J.
I.arney, this afternoon .McNnlly snld
that Lnrnoy had lived In this city about
bIx years ago, but had separated from
his wife and throe children. When last
heard from ho was living at Delaware
iuy. .v siaior, Margaret L,arney, is a
nurse at the Chester Hospital.
Edward It. Stoever, supervisor of No. 1
plant, said that the explosion occurred In
what Is known as the packing house, ac
cording to his mother, Mrs. William B.
Stoever, of the Delmar Apnrtments, Ger
mantown. Mrs. Stoever said thnt her son
reported for work at midnight and that
she was In grave apprehension nbout him
until tho receipt of a telephone message
shortly before noon. He declared that
earlier nccounts wero exaggerated and
that only four men were employed In tho
building which he designated as the
"packing" plant.
Officials today said this was the first ex
plosion of Its kind to occur In the
"sweetie" plnnt. There were about 1000
pounds of powder In the machines at the
time. The machines are used for glazing
and cutting the "yellow" powder In small
lengths before it goes through the
vacuum process to toe used In the manu
facture of small arms ammunition.
There are two machines In the building',
separated by a wall. Evidently, according
to the officials, one of the needles in a
machine broke, causing a spark which
Ignited the powder. The flames, it is be.
lleved, spread to the second machine, and
the terrific heat from the burning powder
caused the explosion.

hanging nre Is the phraseology of the
note. As the document submitted by tho
Ambassador Is Informal, It can be changed
If tho President so desires without Jeop
ardizing Anal settlement. And ofllclala

So far a3 tho Persia sinking was con
cerned, there havo been no new develop

ing word from tho Austrian Admiralty,
llut odlclals say that they now are con
vinced that the sinking of tha liner with
the loss of two American Uvea probably
never will bo fully explained. But that
this Incident of tho war no longer Is con

States Is best Indicated by the tacit agree
ment on tho part of tho Administration
leaders that no further effort will bo mado
to gag Congress In discussing tho Inter
national situation.

Proud of the Change
What the Quick Service man did was
nothing more than to place, a nev mantle
and adjust the lights so they would be bright
and clear. The only charge was for the man
tle. Yet the result will be cheer and eye
comfort for all in that home.' Well worth
the little trouble of notifying us, wasn't it?
We are glad to render the same service
for any of our consumers.
