This ncws has hccn cxpcctcrl for scvcrnl days by kccn ohscrvcrs of thc Ncnr Iiustcrn cnmpztign, for thc removal of troops from Anzac and Suvlzt Bay, three weeks ago, left no strategic advantage to thc retcntiotr of thc Peninsula. Ncvcrthclcss the ucws will be rcccivctl with n pang of rcgrct by the pcoplc of thc British Isles as well as thc Col- onics:

'l`hc rcncwcd activity of various

kinds noted by Turkish official communications in the past few days has presumably been in thc nature of preparations for thc final act of the Dardancllcs tragedy. To-nlght’s Turkish official state-

ment, covcriug thc period from

Thursday to Saturday, records thc increasing effectiveness of thc rein- forced Turkish batteries, which have been drawing and concentrat- ing on the Allies’ remaining posi- tions.

Anothcr pang to thc British puh-

lic will hc cnuscd by the nnnouncc- ment to-night of thc loss of thc bztttlcsliip King I'Id\vz1r<l VII., which has been blown up by :l minc. The llritish official stntcmcnt on this subject docs not reveal the

sccnc of thc disnstcr and merely says that it occurred in n hcavy sea,

despite which thc entire crew was saved before thc ship \vcnt down. 'I`hc King Erlwartl Vll. rcprcscut- cd :tn investment of ncnrly i,600,- ooo pounds sterling and was one of thc finest of the latest class of prc- clrcadnoughts. She was only slightly older than thc Natal which was sunk by :tn intcrnzil cxplmion about at wcek nge.

(_)n thc wcst :uni cnstcrn fronts

there have been no developments of large importance ovcr the week- end. A German communication unuouuccs that thc Germans have complctcd thc recapture of posi- tions on IInrtmnuns-Wcilcrkopf taken by thc French 11 fcw days before Cltristmas.

Grcck correspondents continue

to assert that Bulgarians and Ger- mans are making plans for an attack on Saloniki, but the Aus- trians nrg fighting hard against the Russians and Montcncgrins, and thc Bulgarians arc largely occupied in a resolute" attempt to reach thc Adriatic, from which they are only forty miles distance, ot' Elbassan, Albnnizt.

LONDON, Ian. 8-The Austro-

Germans are messing heavy artil- lery at Guevgeli, for an early drive on Saloniki. A despatch to thc Paris Tctnps from its Saloniki cor- rcspondcnti last night said that Allied aviators, returning from n reconnaissance over the Gcrmnn lines, state that large numbers of twelve-inch inortars are arriving at the Greek frontier from Nish. Field Marshal Von 1\/fackenzen will command the combined army of Austrians :md Germans, Turks and liulgarinns, in their campaign against the Allies.

Despatchcs yesterday definitely

located the noted German Com- mander on the Greek frontier. He had previously been reported with- drawip to Bcssarabia. Despatchcs from three sources indicated that thc drive on Saloniki is at hand.

LONDON, Jan. 5.- The British

government today definitely embark- ed upon u policy of compulsory milit- ary service, when Premier Asquith submitted to the house of commons a bill drafting eligible unmarried men to military duty, and championed the measure in tt stirring speech on tho necessity of this trip to mcct the grow- ing exigencics of the war.

The scene within the house of com-

mons was one of the most notable in the history of that body, with the benchw packed with members, all the ministerial seats occupied, and the galleries overflowing.

With the prospect of at keen duel

between the prime minister and his former colleague, Sir John A. Simon. over the momentous issue which caused the late home socrctury's re slgnation, the biggest ussoxnlxlutzo of commoners since the outbreak ot' the war faced Mr. Asqnith when he in~ troduced his mtlfitary service bill.

John Simon, the only member ol' thc cabinet whose resignation has been precipitated by the compulsory bill while in the gallery, ilnmedintely fuc- ing the premier was the genial.ourncst face of the Earl of Derby, who has been the central figure leading up to today‘s climax.
