Both Home Government
and Military Leaders
Criticised in England

LONDON, January Both the home
government and the generals at the
front are severely criticised in the
London morning newspapers today as
the result of the publication of Gen.
Sir Ian Hamilton's report.
The authorities are especially blam-
ed for their failure to meet Gen. Ham
ilton's repeated demands for reinforce
ments, the lack of which caused the
collapse of the military plans. In con-
trast to what is termed the inefficiency
of the higher commands, the greatest
admiration is accorded the heroic con-
duct of the men under the terrible
conditions.
The Times censures the home au-
thorities for their failure to send re-
Inducements, and says it can find no
warrant for the assumption that the
great blow from the Anzac region fall
ed solely because the landing at Suvla
went amiSS.
Chief Cause of Failure.
"On the contrary" the Times ADDS,
"the chief cause of the failure seems
to have been not the inexperience OF
the troops or lack of water, but the
incompetence of some of the corps and
divisional commanders. And though
condemnation falls chiefly upon Gen.
Stopford, Gen. Hamilton himself can
not escape some share of the criti-
cism"
The Daily Mail in an editorial says:
The men were glorious. but their
generals lacked the insight, energy
and decision which are the divine parts
of a commander in war"
The Morning Post says the policy
was blind throughout and by turns
fmpulsive and vacillating. 1t says:
For months the government dallied,
delayed, talked and intrigued. They
would neither reinforce the troops nor
remove them. 1T is a black record

Simply Overwhelmed.

First our men were shelled by every
enemy gun he says, then assaulted
by a huge column consisting of no less
than full division plus three battal-
ions. The North Lancashire men were
simply overwhelmed in their shallow
trenches by sheer weight of numbers,
while the Wiltshires, who were caught
out in the open, were literally almost
annihilsted.
The ponderous mass of the enemy
swept over the crest and swarmed
round the Hampshires and Gen. Bald
wins brigade. which had to give
ground and were only extricated with
great difficulty and very heavy losses.
Now it was our turn. The warships
and the New Zealand and Australian
artillery. an Indian mountain artillery
brigade and the seth Brigade, Royal
Field Artillery, were getting the chance
of a lifetime. AS successive solid lines
of Turks topped the crest of the ridge
gaps were torn through their forma-
,ioa and an iron rain fell on them as
they tried to reform in the gullies.

LONDON, January Cen. Ian Ham
iltons report on the British operations
on the Gallipoli peninsula was publish
ed in the official Gazette. 1t tells the
story of the fighting on the peninsula
from the beginning of May to the mid
die of October.
Probably no more important contribu-
tion to the history of the present war
has yet been made. The report throws
light on the great landing at Anzac
cove and Sulva bay. August Z, which
has been the subject of strong attacks
upon the military admipistration OF the
government, the whole operations re-
quiring the combined action OF the
army and navy.
The handling of the masses or troops
within a limited area probably was the
most complicated ever undertaken, anu
military men are not surprised that
some important details failed to work
out as planned.
The Sulva bay landing failed to ac-
complish its object, the report shows.
partly because the force consisted
erals inexperienced in the new war
fare and partly through the failure
of the water supply. The suHerlngs
of the troops for lack of water make
painful reading.
No Reinforcements.
Gen. Hamilton bestows the highest
possible praise upon the bravery of the
men. He believes that after the mid
die of August the Turks outnumbered
the British and had plenty of fresh
soldiers and munitions, while the Brit
ish government was unable to furnish
him with the reinforcements he wanted.
The general strongly opposed the
abandonment of any of the bases held
by the British troops.
The most stirring passages of the
document describe the Inflated land
ing st Suvla bay and Anzac early in
August for securing command of the
heights. on the assault on the middle
of the peninsula and cutting off from
their base the Turkish forces at the
lower extremity, where the entente al
lied armies made their first landing.
This operation began on August s.
The climax was reached at daybreak
on the 10th, when the Turks made a
grand attack from the summit of
Chunnuk Bair hill upon a short front
held by two battlion of the 9Th North
Lanca shire and the 5th Wiltshire reg
iments. which Gen. Hamilton describes
as weakened in numbers though not
in spirit.
