1t Is a matter Of congratulaiion for
the citizens Of New York county gen.
orally that their Democratic fraction
nominated Mt the primaries such "

hcen named by the Democrats for
these offices at the primaries would
have won at the polls. The last Demo.

British and Union Army Losses.

As Premier .ASQUITH put into writ
ing for Parliament's Information the
British ca casualties incurred in the
great war up to October 8, the totals
may be regarded as authoritative. RI
comparison is made with Union army
losses in the four years OF civil war
IT will BIZ found that the British losses
In about fourteen months Of conflict
nre greater in wounded and almost as
heavy in killed.
Fox in his "Regimental Losses In
the American Civil War" gives the
Union casualties AZ 10000 killed in
battle or died Of wounds, and 275,175
wounded; total. 3s5, 245. The British
have already had 1O1 ,652 officers and
men killed Uncluding those mortnlly
wounded) and H7,465 officers and
men wounded. total 113.117. TO this
must now he added the casualties in
the twenty days since Octuler .,
which have averaged 5000 n day,

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-11-03

The very guarded expression of
Premier AsQUITH in the House OF
Commons yesterday that the situation
at the Dardanelles was receiving "anS.
ious consideration" In connection with
the large reQulsitlOn Of troops for tho
eastern theatre Of war" was practl-
cally accepted as an intention to aban-
don the Gallipoll peninsula and 10 send
forces to stop the Austrp-German
drive In the Balkans.
The Dardanelles campaign has come
In for more severe criticism than
other military manGuvrcs with which
the British forces have been con
nected. Besides the very evident pur.
pose OF opening a way for Russia
from the Black Sea and placing her
In more immediate communication
with her allies in the west It was
also designed 70 achieve the diplomatic
conquest of the halting Balkan States.
Had the first object. the opening Of
the Bosporus. been accomplished there
is no doubt that the Allies chances
for winning both Rumania and Greece.
perhaps even Bulgaria. would have
been greatly improved. But the fact
that the allied forces were unable to
make any advance here was used
with telling effect by the Austro.Ger-
mans 10 secure either Balkan aid or
neutrality.
The advisability Of the campaign
was in the first place questioned. as ii
was undertaken at the time that 1t
was considered Great Britain needed
all of her available troops in France
and Belgium. The conduct ~ the
campaign vas afterward ms severely
criticised upon the scores Of INSULT.
client preparation and inefficient man.
agcment. Those who held this view
found considerable support in some Of
the early reports from tbe scene of
action.
The British troops that have been
employed here are largely the Austria
Liam and New Zealand contincents.
Z The country yer which they have
fought has made their task q severe
one in the face of the strongly In.
trcnchcl German commanded Turkish
forces. The report indicates that tn
allied troops have struggled with
great bravery and perseverance. Int
ut the same time their advance has
not been sufficient 10 make the aban-
'lonment Of the campaign the loss Of
any highly valuable positions.
The situation in the Balkans Is
the most favorable opportunity that
has been presented for quitting the
narlancllcs. The success Of the
.Austro-'ierman drive and the inpcra
tive need Of saving her small ally are
res sons that nus appeal ~ most
plausible. I'VE cannot allow Serbia

nefarious combination Of Germany

AsQrITH's statement.
That the transfer Of the large force

in saving Serbia there is no doubt
That IL may also halt the Tcutoni'
successes and draw other Balkan
states into the strife is not altogether
unavoidable.
