landon, Deo. 20. The British
'troops in the sutva ana Ansae dis
tricts of the Gallipoli peninsula have
teen withdrawn. The following offi
cial statement in regard to the opera
tion has been issued:
i "The allied troops at Sulva and An
ise together with their guns and
stores have been successfully trans
ferred with insignificant casualties to
another sphere of operations. ." .
4 London, Dec. 20-The withdrawal
of British troops from the Anzac Cove
and Suvla Bay regions of the Gallipoli
peninsula is announced in a brief offi
cial communication' this afternoon.
Beyond the statement that the move
ment was effected successfully and
with small loss, few details are given
and no allusion was made to the allied
troops on the Seddul Bahr front at the
tip of the peninsula.
Some Indication of the long expected
offensive by the Germans in Flanders,
where the massing of Teutonic troops
was said to have been in progress for
several weeks, was contained In offi
cial British and French reports, which
'stated that under a cloud of gas the
Germans attacked the British trenches
northeast of Ypres. According to
these reports the Germans failed so
completely that few emerged from
khelr trenches and those that did were
fcut down by artillery Are of the allies,
i Later in th eday the Germans dis
played unusual activity, directing
heavy bombardment against the Brit
jish line near Ypres and the French
'position at Messienes. ; - ,
I Mines wore exploded before the
trenches at Armentieres, and the Ger-
Jman infantry attempted unsuccessfully
to occupy the craters thus opened.
On the remaining western front the
interminable artillery duels continue
with the French guns hear St. Mihiel

The Russian and Macedonian front,
!o far as the public are advised are
itlll comparatively quiescent. ; The
rosition of Greece is still regarded
vith keen anxiety by both sides.
The Gounarls party is reported to
mve been victorious in the Greek elec-
ions, but the expected change of
leaders is riot accepted as implying a

Chicago, Dec 20. According to a
statement today by a man financially
Interested in the negotiations, repi'C'
sentatlves, of the Federal, National
and American leagues signed a peace
agreement at the New York meeting
Insuring the withdrawal from Uio
field of the Federal league without
the assumption of contract obligations
with its players by the older organ
izations, r
According to this authority the
agreement provides that the Federal
league retain its players until the
opening of the 1917 season, paying all
salaries called for by contract sand re
imbursing its backers from the sale of
players to clubs in organized base
ball. Another provision of the agree
ment, it was said, was that the Wards
of Brooklyn, were to be reimbursed
for their outlay in the Federal league
by the American and National
leagues. This stipulation previously
had been announced.
According to the authority quoted
above the meeting to be held at Cin
cinnati Tuesday has only details to
oonsider. Among these It - was tild
was the disposition of the Baltlmoio
Feder.aJ.xlub, which-i reported tOMjc

ganization. Other questions involving
the minor leagues would be discussed,
It was said. 1 "
According to the statement no men
tion was made in the peace agree
ment of the sale of any National or
American league club to Federal
league backers. It was said this was
left to individual negotiotions. It was
reported here today, however, that
Charles Weeghman, of Chicago Fed
erals, and Harry Sinclair, of the New
ark club, were almost certain to buy
the Chicago Nationals and the St.
Louis Federal league owners were ex
pected to negotiate for the purchase
of the St. Louis Browns.
New York, IDec. 20. The depart
ment of Justice, through William M.
Offley, head of the bureau of investi
gation today continued searching for
evidence In regard to the action of
Paul Koenlg, Richard Leyendecker
and Frederick Metzler In the alleged
conspiracy to blow up the Welland
canal. Koenlg and Leyendecker are
at liberty on ball, but Metzler is in
custody of federal officials and has
not been arraigned.
It Is understood that the purpose of
delaying Metzler's arraignment Is to
prevent his whereabouts from becom
ing known to the other alleged con
spirators in the hope that Metzler may
disclose to federal agents the details of
the conspiracy. It is said that possibly
Metzler will become a witness for the
government. .
It is reported that an examination,
of the books and documents seized by
the government agents in the offices
of Koenig and Leyendecker may re
suit in a large number of additional
arrests.
-. Three witnesses for the Welland
canal Investigation have arrived from
Niagara Falls. They are Daniel W.
Schwartz, a hotel man, John
Schwartz, master mechanic at ' the
power plant and Mrs. Llsette Fuchs,
step mother of George Fuchs, one of
the local men detained by the federal
agents as a witness.

will only go after It, declares Charles
Lyon Chandler, South American agent
for the Southern, railwayf Queen and
Crescent, and Mobile and Ohio; who
has Just returned from a 17,000 mile
trip occupying six months, during
which he visited the phlncipal cities
of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentine, Chile,
Peru, f and Ecuador. The trip was
made entirely at the expense of the
railways represented by Mr. Chandler.
"The countries of South America,"
says Mr. Chandler, "are rapidly re
gaining their : financial stability and
are looking to the United States to
supply their wants because of their
Inability to buy from Europe. Europe
Is pouring money Into South America,
especially Argentina and Uruguay, for
meat and other foodstuffs and this
money is ready to be exchanged in the
United States for manufactured goods
and other products which are essential
in the every day life of the South
Americans.
He personally interviewed over 500
merchants and buyers, learned of
more than 1000 specific trade oppor
tunities for southern manufacturers,
and gathered a vast amount of first
hand information which is now at the
disposal of southern business men who
wish tp enter the South American
field. He collected samples of cotton
fabrics that are wanted in South

and other books of great value.

Raleigh, Dec, 20. Parker Ander
son's story on the tenth district con
gressional fight gets added color from
lawyers of that division who have
been here more than a week, some
of whom are yet in Raleigh.
Ten days ago when the Raleigh cor
respondent mentioned the. pressure
under which Judge Mike Justice de
clined to entertain the talk of nomi
nating him, the tenth lawyers accept
ed it as final. Some of them went
home and came back. Friday one of
them said that he thought a new story
might be written within a few days.
He felt morally certain that Judso
Justice would allow his name to go
to the primary next spring if the dis
trict does not happen to be crowded
with candidates.
Former Solicitor Hall Johnson and
J. Will Pless have been given a good
deal of favorite support. Each has
said "much obliged" but talked for
Judge Justice. Either would rather
see Ed's wise father run than to take
a chance himself. They believe that
Judge Justice would eliminate every
possibility . of factionalism, attract
many republicans and overturn the
last republican small majority by a
heavy democratic predominance.
And it is the opinion of these law
yers that Sol Gallert of Rutherford -ton,
Julge Justice's home, R. R. Wil-
Jlams, -of -Buncombe- and -Senator" Zeb
Weaver of the same county would re
tire if Judge Justice comes out. Sen
ator Weaver has been at work. Every
county In his district will testify to
his running and working powers.
Resident tenth district officials
here were greatly , interested in the
Washington story as well as thoae
several days ago suggesting that a
big Justico sentiment had been
sweeping the district. They believe
now that if he would agree to make
the race the democrats would mako
the nomination unanimous and that
the party would win an overwhelm
lng victory.

The bonds are in $1,000 denomina
tion and are due in 1945 . The suc

crued interest, his interest beginning

having died of heart failure.
W. W. Horn was about 70 years
of age. He had been in declining
health for several years and while
his death, as happened, was a shock,
it was hardly unexpected. Mr. Horn
conducts a large country store In u
few hundred yards of his house and
he left his home well as usual Satur
day afternoon. His body was found
about 5 o'clock by a customer who
hannened along about that time. It Is
ft suposed that life had been extinct
about two hours as his body was still
warm.
Mr. Horn served in the civil war.
Just after the war,-he went out west,
but returned to his native state af
ter a few years. Up to his death he
had resided In tta same place for 35
years. Here he had been engaged in

Second Largest Hid.
The firm of Sidney Spitzer com
pany of Toledo made the second
largest bid for the bonds, offering a
premium of $12,461.92. When It 'vas
found that the firm of N. W. Holsey
and company of New York had been
awarded the bonds, the agent of the
former company stated that he would
increase his bid if allowed to; that
he was very anxious to secure the
bonds and that. .his-,, .company, had
made-an extraordinary good offer
for them.
While all of the agents who were
present for the different bond com
panies seemed to be very anxious to
get the bonds no other one offered
to increase his bid, realizing of course
that it was useless.
O. Brewster Chapman of Ashevllle
and New York was present during
tne opening of the bids, being an un
successful bidder.
The largest uremlum ever paid for
Ashevllle bonds before was around
$2,000, it Is stated, while the largest
amount ever psid for any North Car
ollna municipal bonds was secured by
for losing the district this year. Every
body brings a message of peace and
harmony growing out of the dissen
sions of 1914. Factions apear to

"More Tooth Than Teddy."
Democrats desperate for a striking
campaign slogan, one matching the
old "Full Dinner Pall" of the repub
licans, stumbled upon a genius yes
terday evening who discovered one of
fine alliteration.
We can win next year with this
picture of Wilson and his bride to
day," this Democrat said. "How
would 'more teeth than Teddy?' do
for something to offset the barnstorm
ing of Roosevelt? I really think the
democracy would find thla a great
turn on Teddy."
But the less desperate could see
little In the pictorial device to help
the president. Critics of such papers
as have animadverted sharply on the
president occasionally were happy
that these did not carry the picture.

to stir up the native chiefs of Arabia
against England and to organize the
"holy war" in those parts has been
made during the last ten months by
Karl Neufeld, once the Mahdl's pris
oner at Khartum. Neufeld, a German
by birth, has spent most of his life in
Sudan. During the twelve years of
his captivity he lay in chains, but af
ter his liberation In 1898, as the result
of Ixrd Kitchener's victory at Omdur
man, he travelled extensively In the
Sudan and In Arabia, always living
among the natives, and speaking their
language.
After the outbreak of war Neufeld
returned to Berlin to place his services
at his government's disposal, and In
December, 1914, he was lent to the
Turkish authorities for special service
In Arabia. Ills Journey through Ara
bia lasted from January to October,
and he arrived In Constantinople at
the beginning of this month to report
progress and to receive instructions
for a new expedition of the same kind.

The attorney general has presented

both Mrs. Warren and S. P. Christy

copious exceptions to offer in support
of their appeal for a new trial.
These prisoners who were to have)

the chief reason for a new trial, 'the
circumstances under which Christy
was arrested In Texas and shown the
accounts of the murdering of Mrs.
Warren's husband given to those pa
