The enemy saw that success for our attack against the north was unavoidable and embarked the night of December 39-20 with haste a part of his forces.

Colonel House said he expected to sail from here within the next two weeks and would be in iiurope probably about six or eight weeks.

John J. Dervin of Pcultney, a. brother-in-law, was the first word relatives have received from John J. Murphy, former treasurer of the Marble Savings bank of this city, who mysteriously If ft Rutland November 2f and has not bfen heard from since, except that It had been learned from examination of hotel registers and Information furnished by acquaintances, that the missing young man, wboe home is in West Rutland, had been in New York, in Philadelphia and in Columbus, Ohio.

While the telegrarrf" said little. Or. Dervin, who has been one of the leaders in conducting the countrywide search, feels that Mr. Murphy is now in his right mind and probably without sufficient funds to come to Vermont. Dr.

Tervin left for Louisiana a few hours after receiving tho message. Relatives iind frienfls of the young man have entertained the theory along that Murphy's disappearance was due to a temporary derangement of the mind and their belief i that ids brain assumed a normal state.

Thev point to tho fad that his thought was of homo, as tho telegram indicates. Mr. Murphy's mother has been prostrated with grief ever since her son left Rutland and thft shock of joy whi nhe experienced this morninc affected her nearly as much as the original news of his departure. She rallied somewhat this afternoon. Murphy's disappearance was one of tho strangest affairs of the kind which ever happened in Rutland.

Having a responsible position in thn hank and being associated with the management of the New Hotel Hard well, he had a wide acquaintance and he was looked upon ns one of ho most promising young men in the city After attending a picture show on November L't! he left Rutland in his automobile nl ten o't-lnck at ninlit and drove to Manchester, where he left the machine in a Ma niRC and took the sleeper train for New York.

In the British attack on the Seddul-Bahr front which preceded the withdrawal from the other sectors the British suffered enormous losses, it is declared. The statement is as follows: "Turkish troops, during the night of December 18-19, after heavy artillery preparation, began an attack against the enemy's positions near Anafarta and Ari Burnu. The enemy in order to check this attack, made a general attack along the whole Seddul-Bahr front which completely failed, with enormous losses.

"In view of the certainty of Turkish success in advances toward the noith, the enemy during the night of December hastily withdrew part of his troops. The enemy was unable to Impede the pursuit by the Turkish troops, so that no enemy troops now remain at Anafarta or Ari Burnu. "Enormous quantities of ammunition, cannon and tents were taken.
