BRITISH RETREAT DUE T0 TURKISH OFFENSIVE Heavy Losses Inflicted on Allies Who Were Driven to the Sea. Berlin, Dec. 21 (By wireless to Say- ville).—Constantinople dispatches state that the withdrawal of the | British from the Anzac and Suvla hay | districts of the Gallipoli Peninsula came as the result of a violent offen- sive on the part of the Turks, who in- flicted heavy losses on the British and drove them to the sea. According to Constantinople reports the Turks began a general offensive in all sections at the Dardanelles, says the Overseas News Agency. ‘“The fighting was violent.” “The Turks began their attack at Anafarta (Sulva Bay) and Ari Burnu (Anzac). The enemy launched counter attacks at Seddul Bahr (On the tip of the peninsula) which were repulsed. “The Turkish artillery inflicted heavy losses -on the enemy. The Turkish soldiers, who had waited months for this moment, shows im- mense enthusiasm. Finally the Turks defeated the enemy at Antfar- | ta and Ari Burnu.

On the con- trary, it is reported, the Bulgarians are entrenching themselves along the Serbo-Greek border. Bulgars and Greeks Clash. The first concrete evidence of fric- tion between Greeks and Bulgarians comes from Epirus, where Bulparian bands and Greek forces, according to press despatches have come in conflict. In an offensive movement toward Saloniki is undertaken it is hardly likely Greece will interfere, as she Fmust grant the same facilities to the Central Powers as she accorded the entente allies if the present policy of neutrality prevails.

Theé British statement said the withdrawal ' was accomplished “without the Turks be- ing aware of the movement.” London, Dec. 21, 3:55 p. m.—When the British forces withdrew from the positions at Suvla Bay and Anzac, on the western shore of the Gallipoll Peninsula, their total casualties were three men wounded according to an official announcement made this aft- ernoon. Six guns, which were destroyed, were left when the British withdrew from the Suvla position it was added.

Two Gigantic Strokes, Pari§ reports that Germany is pre- pating two gigantic strokes, one #gainst Calais and the other toward Bgypt, in the hope of ending the war s smashing blows at these vital ?’Megic points. German guns are . along the western front, but no further evidence has been received of an offensive there. Along the French frofmf an incessant fire against the Germans is being kept up.
