London, Dec. 20. -The British
troops at the Suvla and Am&b
districts of Gallipoli Peninsia
have been withdrawn. . M
a- '
The following official statement
was issued here today: "All the'
troops at Suvla and Anzac, ttK
gether with their guns and storey
have been successfully transfend
with insignificant casualties, o
another sphere of operations." ft
Operations in other sections bjft
the front on the GalHpoli penffJ
sular than those from whirh
troops were announced today ib
have been withdrawn are to fee
continued, it is intimated in an of
ficial statement issued tonightj
The withdrawal was affected with)
out knowledge of the movement
on the part of the Turks, it is de
clared, if
"Further details of the evacua
tion of the Anzac and Suvla zones
have been received, " says the of
ficial statement. "Without the
Turks being aware of the 'movej
ment a great army has been witM
drawn from one of the areas dceur-
pied on iisalfopoIriiinsSit'
although in the closest of contact
with the enemy. By thiscontrac
tion of the front, operations at
other points of the line will be
more effectively carried out.
"Sir Charles Monro gives the
credit for this skillfully conducted
transfer of forces to the generaU
commanding and the royal navy. "
The withdrawal of the British
troops from Sulva bay and Anzao
zone ends, more successfully than
most military men thought possi
ble, the most unfortunate chapter
ot the British arms in this war.
Thousands of lives were sacrificed
in gaining these positions, and
other, thousands in holding them
The question has has been con
stantly discussed why the-generais
commanding the Dardanelles ex
pedition did not try to make a
landing near the center of the
peninsula in . the. beginning and
cut off the Turkish troops on the
lower end.
W hen the attempt was finally
made to secure a foothold higher
up the peninsula, the Turks were
fully-prepared to meet it
this. Even the minds of " grand
father and grandmother go bacis
fifty years and they wish to be a
child, again. It is Christmas.
j Amid this happiness-we naturally
feel that it is Christmas every
where, but it is hot. .
..'The Chinese boyJuiows nothing
of Christmas,: neither does the
children of other heathern lends.
Did you ever. stop ;tb think , that
t'iree fourth&.of te 'people of the
world know nothing about Christ
mas? Why? Because they know
nothitig of Christ, ;V
Christmas is ; the :' birthday of
Christ and the country, that knows
not of Him knots' nothing of
Christmas. . Judging, from the
way some people celebrate Christ-
m s we would never RnowNtnat it
Wis the birthday of our Lord, but
woul 1 rather think that it was the
'birthday of Satan! .
Christmas' is a time of giving.
It was on thisf da'hTttHSod gaye
IJis Son to ( man The .wise, men
aye gifts to the Soh,,ana we give
Ijirietfd
we give to those who do not 'need
it. The wise men gave to the
Son. We might be wise and do
likewise. We want to make oth
ers happy by our Christmas gifts.
What would make one happier
than to tell him of Christmas who
never heard of it before? Five
or ten cents placed in the hands
of The Americ in Bible Society
will send a testament to a heathern
by which he may learn of Jesus,
and know something of Christ
mas. The best gift you can give is to
give yourself to (iod who gave
His Son to you. The poor can do
this as well as the t ich.

More, than any other, merchant is a jeweler dependent
upon the confidence of the public.
In what other line can you be shown two pieces of goods
one, to you, apparently as good as the ether, yet with all pos
sible difference in construction and wearing qualities.
We cannot conscientiously recommend goods above their
true worth and our honesty often costs us a sale.
It is not the purchase of the . moment we depend uponr
but your future buciness and' we must merit 1 your confidence
to get it.
That oux' efforts are appreciated is evidenced by a rapid
