BL AME CHURCHILL
He Alone Authorized Ill-Fated
Dardanelles Expedition.
British Admiralty Investigates
and Fixes Responsibility.

London, March S.-The Dardanelles
expedition, as far Great Britain
was concerned was undertaken on the
initiative of Colonel Winston Spencer
Churchill, then first lord of the adj
miralty, according to a majority re-
port of the commission appointed to
inquire into the responsibility for the
expedition which was issued today.
The report summarizes the conclusion
reached as follows:
THE question of attacking the
DardanelleS was, on the initiative of
Mr.. Churchill, brought under the con-
sideration of the war council Noven-
Der rs. 1914. as the ideal method of
defending Egypt. 1t may reasonably
be assumed that inasnuch all the
authorities concerned were prinla
facie in favor of a joint military rather
! than a purely naval attack. such an
attack, if undertaken at all would
have been of the former rather than
Q of the latter character had not other
circumstances led to modification of
proSra m. A communication from the
Russian government of January in
troduced a fresh element into the case.
The British government considered
that something must be done in re-
Spouse to it and iE this connection
the question of attacking, the Darda-
nelles was again raised.
COnstantjnople the Objective
Political arguments which were ad-
duc"d to the war council in favor Of
prompt and effective action. if such
were practicable, were valid and of
the highest Importance, but the prac-
tlcability of whatever action vas pro-
posed was of equal Importance Mr.
Churchill appears to have advocated
an attack by ships alone before the
war council, on a certain amount of
half-hearted and heSitating expert
opinions which favored a tentative or
progressive scheme, beginning with an
attack upon the outer forts. This at
tack if successful was to be followed
by further operations against the main
! defenses of the Narrows
There does not appear to have been
direct support direct opposition
| from the responsible naval and mill
tary advisers, Lord Fisher and Sir
James Wolfe Murray, as to the prac-
liability of carrying on the operations
| as approved by the war council viz
to lombard and take the Gallipoli
peninsula with Constantinople as the
objective.
1.-The secretary of state for war de-
| clared that there were no troops i'm
mediately available for operations in
the east and his statement was ac-
| copied by the war council. who took
no steps to satisfy themselves by re-
ports of estimates to what troops
were available then or in the near
future. Had this been DONE the COM
missioners think it would have been
ascertained that sufficient troops would
have been available for a joint mill
! tary and naval operation at an earlier
date

New York, March S.-If she can

line will sail for London today un-
armed The Manchuria is the first
vessel under the American flag to load
mails for a prohibited port since the
American line cancelled SailingS Feb
ruary 2.
The crew struck yesterday for IS
per cent war bonus. The company
had already granted so per cent and
declined to give any more on the
ground that further increase would
be unfair to the men who had sailed
two weeks ago on the Mongolia,
satisfied with a SO per cent bonus.
Officers of the company said they ex-
pected the men would come to terms
or they could get a new crew in time
to send the vessel out before sunset.

FOUGHT IN Vain
Compensation Act Passes Sem
ate Despite Getty's Efforts.
WyandOtte Senator Says Work
ing Men Will Regret 1t.

Striding over the dead bodies of
fifteen or more amendments offered
by Senator Getty of Wyandotte, the
new compensation act went thru the
senate today almost as it came from
the house. The only amendments
made were those suggested or offered
by Senator McClain of Allen. in charge
of the bill. The amendments are said
to have been agreed upon by the same
persons who agreed to the original
provisions of the bill and it is doubt
full if there will be any trouble in get
ting the house to accept them.
Few measures introduced at this
session of the legislature have had
more printed about them or been els
cussed to a greater extent than the
compensation act. 1t was drawn by
representatives of the different labor
organizations of the state in company
with representatives of employers. APP
parently both sides are satisfied. 1t is
known as an agreed bill The SEN
ate understood that, apparently, altho
most senators did not profess to I'M
derstand the multiplicity of detail con-
against it on roll call and they were
cast by Senator Getty of Wyandotte,
and Senator Anspaugh of Coffey.
Senator Getty did all that he had
promised He made a fight on the
provisions of the bill. He offered one
amendment as quickly as his previous
amendment had been voted down. He
voted for his amendment and everyone
else voted against it, with the eX-
ception of Senator Hickey of Usage,
who frequently voted with his seat
mate

senate and stated that he still be-
lieved in majority rule.
But" he said, Il will make proph-
ecy and 1 want you to mark my word.
Within twelve months from this date
the working men of this state will
learn what has been done and they
will realize that they have aided in
placing upon the stature books a meas
ure of which they will be sorry. This
measure will, perhaps, be of some pro-
lection to the workman who earns four
or five or six dollars a day but it alb
sol"tely removes protection from the
poor man who is skimping along on
So a day..
The senate even refused to permit
Senator Getty to exempt his own
county. He offered an amendment
making it possible for employees liv-
| ing and working in cities having a
population of 1905 or more to elect
as to whether or not they shall come
under the provisions of the act. He
alone voted for that amendment.
