TURKS ASKED TO PRESERVE THEit. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 15. General Godley, writing to the Dekfence Minister just prior to the Gallipoli evacuation, said; "I have written to the Turkish commander who will come in when we leave, asking him to take steps to preserve the graves of our men.
