Object of Gallipoli Campaign.
Detailing the objects of the attack on
the Dardanelles, the Premier re-
marked:
"Tbe view was that it would influence
the Balkan situation, would open the
way for supplies for the Russians ana
strike blow at the heart OF the TURK
ish Empire.
NAVAL operations continued system
atically for month. and until they
eliminated in the attack on the Mar
rows, which resulted in a setback, IL
was then suggested that by aid OF an
adequate military force the attack
could be driven home with success
General Sir Ian Hamilton was sent
out. and reported he was in agreement
with the suggestion that JOINT naval
and military attack was necessary. In
the whole course of the war | have new
er sustained n keener disappointment
/ than in the failure Of these operations"
Mr.. Asauith pointed out that II the
efforts to force the Dardanelles mad
been successful they would have been
of immeasurable value.
"They did not succeed" he continued,
Notwithstanding the magnificent eX-
/ hibition and never surpassed gallantry
of our troops"
The Premier then said that in the
( Sea of Marmora up TO October 20 Brit
/ ish submarines sank or damaged two
battleships, FIVE gunboats. one torpedo
boat, eight transports and 1877 supply
ships. He alluded to the services Of
the novel monitors, which he said were
largely the creation of Lord Fisher.
100000 Turks Held.
"The results Of the August attempt"
continued the Premier, were disap-
/ pointing, but it must be considered
/ what would have happened if 1t had not
been taken The Russians might have
had a serious Turkish attack in the
Caucasus, and we might have had to
face attacks in Egypt and Mesopotamla.
/ Our force on the Gallipoli Peninsula
was holding up 100000 Turks.
"The situation in the Dardanelles is
receiving the most anxious consldera-
lated thing, but as a part of the larger
strategical question raised by reason
of developments in the Balkans. There
is a complete agreement between US
and France. both as to the end and the
means in the Balkans
The Premier travelled over old ground
in rehearsing the unsuccessful eforts
to promote a Balkan community of in
terest, pointing out that every step had
to be taken in consultation with three
and. latterly, four governments.
unlike the German government" he
said, 1--WE cannot barter away the prop
erty of our Allies behind their backs
When the Allies are reproached for not
acting with sufficient speed as regards
Serbia, it must be remembered that up
to the last moment there was the
strongest reason to believe that Greece
would act up to her treaty obligations
with Serbia.

premacy enables us 10 do this, and Tor
my part would not hesitate 10 INFORM
her that unless she was prepared TO
ioin the Allies in defence of Serbia We
would break of friendly relations.
Calls Policy Futile
"But TO send an army TO Egypt 10
await action. which may or may not be
possible on the report Of general
sent 20 Gallipoli, seems the most futile
and hesitating decision that could be
come to, and one calculated merely TO
lead to further dissipation OF our
forces.
~ do not believe that when Germany
has gained access TO the lines OF com
munication 10 Constantinople II will be
possible TO maintain our efforts in Gal
iipoli. Indeed, | doubt very much
whether our troops can stay there
until that event happens"
With respect TO the Dardaneiles
operations, Sir Edward said he could
not understand how at the very time of
a shortage Of ammunition the govern
ment took on such a military expedi-
ton, which had hung around our
nccks like a milestone all these
months"
He did not believe the government
was justified in entering on that ex-
pedition, which had cost 100000 men
m casualties, and suffering which
bafFed description, unless they had
assurances from their naval and mill
tary advisers that they were likely TO
carry the expedition to a successful
conclusion.
"Was there ever such a story of
miscalculations," he exclaimed, "as
those in the Dardanelles?
The failure at Suyla Bay he regarded
rs the most disastrous and vital OF
the war. From that day to this, under
the Cabinets system, they had never
been able to make up their minds
whether they ought TO proceed, with
those operations or boldly Withdraw
their men and save suffering and
further loss.

BARNES GIVES STATEMENT
Amendment Propositions Should Have
Been Offered Separately, He Holds.

William Barnes, in Republican state
headquarters, gave out the following
statement:
"Many Of the amendments which
were favorably acted upon by the Con-
stitutional Convention can still be in
corporated into the basic law Of this
state. That lots Of voters did not see
fit 10 adopt the constitution as a whole
is largely due, 20 my mind. to the fact
that the convention refused to present
It's propositions separately, so that a
discriminating vote could not be cast.
"On the last day Of the session Of
the convention ] urged upon it the i'm
portance of presenting separately TO
the voters the main features of the
constitution. Only twenty-seven men,
bers Of that convention voted in favor
of my motion. The result is that the
good in the constitution has gone down
with the bad

duty, so that these proposals may be

"In conclusion" he remarked, ITO
avoid any misconception. may l say
that I am entirely in accord win your
policy that the war must be fought TO
an end at any sacrifice, and until we

John F.. Redmond. the Nationalist

no weight in Ireland and that the

with reference TO the Cabinet was one

Sir Edward Grey then arose to cor
