London, Jan. 10.-Premier Asquith,
in announcing the withdrawal of the
last British troops from the Dar-
danelles at Sedd-el-bahr, to the
house of commons this afternoon, re-
ferred to the operations together with
those by which the withdrawal at
Anzac and Suvla was accomplished as
deserving of an impressive place in
English history.
The house will learn with extreme
gratification," he said, "of the retire-
ment of the force at Cape Helles, 'at
the tip of the Gallipoli peninsula' with-
out the loss of a single life.
English Loss Negligible
"Of 11 guns left behind 10 were
worn-out 15-pounders which were ren-
dered unfit for further service before
they were abandoned. All stores of
reserve ammunition which could not
be removed were set afire before re-
tirement. The whole retirement was
conducted with minimum loss. These.
operations, taken in conjunction with
the earlier one at Suvla and Anzac
are, I believe, without parallel in mili-
tary or naval history.
"That they should have been carried
out without any loss considering the
vast number of persons and amount
of materials involved is an achieve-
ment of which all concerned-the com-

At a recent nieting of the regents,
the manuscript proceedings of the re-
gents from 1537, t') the present time,
were ordered printed. At the time this
printing was ordered, the existence of
these earlier records was 'entirely un-
known, and it is tiought that when
the whole is published, including those
found last week, the records will be
complete.
Among the documents found is a
land grant, dated May 15, 1824, and
signed by James Monroe, deeding cer-
tain lands to the University. It is
probable that this will be photo-
graphed and framed, after whch it
will be placed in the reading room of

This followed two explosions in the

Charles F. Morgan, Jr., of Phila-

Union Opera, will arrive in Ann Ar-
bor this morning for a four days' vis-
it, during which time he will take
charge of the weeding-out process of
the cast and chorus tryouts. Morgan
comes directly from New Haven,
where he has been directing a the-
atrical production.
The new director comes to Ann Ar-
bor 'with a host of recommendations
and a list of successfully directed
plays that assure the entire campus
that this year's opera will be one of
the best that has ever been given.
Morgan's latest successes are the
"Rosemaid," "All forathe Ladies'"
with Sam Bernard, and ":Princess
Pat," which has been running in New
York for the last six months.
Yiauy Appear at Tryout
The chorus tryouts held at the Un-
ion last night dre-w out a crowd of
more than 120 men. The names of the
successful candidates will be posted
in the Union today. Owing to the
large number of men out, the judging
.committee was unable to try the
men's voices, and another tryout will
be held in the near future.
The judges for the poster contest
are as follows: Professors S. F. Kim-
ball and E. Lorch and Mr. L. A. Ma-
kielski of the architectural depart-
ment. The decision of the poster
judging committee will be announced
in a week or so.

London, Jan. 10. -An official report
given out by the British war office to-
day makes the first official admission
that the British army in Mesopotamia
which was driven back from the ap-
proaches to Bagdad and took up a
stand at Kut-el-Amara, is in desper-
ate straits.
The report says that a large relief
force moving up the Tigris from the
base at Bazra has been in contact wtih
a Turkish army at a point about 50
miles below Kut-el-Amara:
Turks Report Victory
A semi-official Turkish statement is-
sued today corroborates this state-
ment reporting the defeat, of a
British relief force at Sheiksaid. This
relief force, the Constantinople state-
ment says, started out from lami-ali
gharbison the Tigris about 50 miles
south of Kut-el-Amara.
Other Turkish advices quoted by the
Berlin Overseas news agency today
assert that the entire British army at
Kut-el-Amara is now surrounded by
the Turks.
Of the total, which is estimated at
45,000, Constantinople and Berlin de-
clare that 10,000 have been left for
the defense of Kut-el-Amara, while
the remainder is in retreat southward

Frederick Palmer, who comes to
lecture on "My Year of the World
War" in Hill Auditorium next Wed-
nesday night, has probably seen more
modern warfare than any other Amer-
ican writer.
As war correspondent he went
around the world with Admiral Dew-
ey, saw service in the Philippines,
was with the expedition that went to
the relief of Pekin, represented "Col-
lier's Weekly" and the London Times
in the war between Russia and Ja-
pan, sailed around the world with the
American battleship fleet, and went
through the Turkish revolution and
the Balkan war of 1912.

sizes the fact that the issue as now

that no addition to this number can

in the year, that all'those desiring

sometime this week.

provides for a deposit of 50 cents at
the time of subscribing, the balance,
$2.00, to be paid when the book is de-
livered in the spring. The place of
delivery in the spring will be an-
nounced later. If, by chance, there
