CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 19.—The
withdrawal of the allied troops on the
' Gallipoli peninsula has been almost
, coincident with the arrival at the
II Turkish front of heavy German and
. Austrian batterfes. which are so for
midable that the people of C'onstanti
, nople believe there is no longer the
( slightest doubt as to the ability of
the Ottoman army to clear tne pen
insula of the invaders. Large ship
ments of ammunition for the Turkish
artillery also recently reached the1
Dardanelles coast batteries, and the!
field guns, and according to indiea- j
tions In the Turkish official report,
the Ottoman troops are constantly in
I creasing their effectiveness In artil

—The fears, early In the war, that
I Holland would be drawn into it soon-1
j er or later, have been gradually al- j
i layed, and now practically, nothing is.
iieard of such a probability, but pre ;
jpaiedness for any eventuality contin !
I ues to be a popular policy. The Dutch j
i Red Cross lias been completely reor- ’
1 ganized under the superintendence of
high officials of the army and navy
medical corps, and some of the most ]
prominent civilian medical authori-,
| ties. The headquarters of the society, |
which have been In an Inadequate!
■ building near the United States le
gation here, are to be moved to a |
large mansion on Prinsessegracht. the
former home of an old Dutch aristo
J cratic family, which is a gift to the]
[Red Cross from four wealthy resi-!
dents.
