NEWS OF THE WEEK.
ON Monday evening Mr. Asquith in the House of Commons made the momentous announcement that our troops had been successfully withdrawn from Suvla, and Anzac, virtually without casualties, for only three men were wounded in the operation. We have expressed elsewhere our admiration for the splendid work thus accomplished by Sir Charles Monro and those acting under him. Here we will only say once more that it is a triumph for Staff work almost without parallel in military history. Only by tho most perfect Staff arrangements could such a withdrawal have been accomplished. We are not going to attempt to draw the veil and show how the thing was done. That it was done justifies the highest praise.
