Division OF Races In the Territory
Claimed From Hungary.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS--Sir: In
regard to the controversy between Mr..
Hitchcock and Mr.. Lupsha beg to
refer TO a statistical table showing the
claims put forward by Rumania. Serbia
and the Czechs to Hungarian territory
IN square miles. population and divis-
ion as to nationality. The table is based
on the official statistics of 1910, there
being TO later figures TO go by, and is
part of a booklet entitled Some Facts
About the Proposed Dismemberment Of
Hungary" published recently by the
Hungarian American Federation, Supe-
rior Building. Cleveland. Ohio.
The table shows that Rumania claims
1879 square miles OF Hungarian ter
ritory with a population OF 6.S41.379, Of
whom only 2.ea9.20l. or 40 per cent, are
Rumanians The Czechs claim 25,540
square miles. with population Of
4.0Ts.51s, of whom only l.s53,S41. or
405 per cent. are Slovaks Serbia
claims. in addition to Croatia, whose
independence has been freely recognized
by Hungary. 1889 square miles OF
Hungary proper. with a population OF
2.950.457, OF whom only 427.s76. or 1tS
per cent, are Serbians. and 1882. or
as per cent. are Croatians.
Should all the claims be satisfied there
would remain to Hungary only 24,eo5
square miles out of los,2l6. with a pop
ulation of 5,50s.1ss out OF 1s.2e4.533,
Less than one half. or 4,s25.97l. OF the
Magyars would belong to the new Hun
gary, while the larger half OF the race.

countries or be forced to emigrate from
what has been their home for many
centuries.

How Shall the Railway Rates BE
Regulated?


down the backs Of railway owners,
managers and shippers at the Con-
gress talk of reenthroning the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
1t was the Interstate Commerce
Commission which began the national
transportation ruin. 1t failed to
measure up In any particular to the
great responsibility which was placed
upon Responsibility to the public
dependent upon the railroads as well
as to the railroads themselves. 1t
lacked the knowledge to Judge the
needs of the railroads. 1t lacked the
vision to see what, under its practice
of Government policy. was ahead of
the roads and of the country. 1t lacked
the courage, when the consequences Of
its timorous and niggardly rate max
ing were imminent, to try to undo the
mischief it had done.
When the crucial test came with
the war the American railway system,
thanks to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, was ready to collapse;
Government operation surely and
swiftly did the rest.
To-day, six months after the war,
the American railway system Is, from
the point Of view of service, a gro
tesque makeshift. From the point Of
view of investors 1t is financial
nightmare. From the point of view Of
the United States Treasury it is n
colossal deficit breeder. From the
point of view of the taxpaying public
1t is staggering burden. To tell the
railway shareholders, the railway
managers and the American people
that the roads should get more treat
ment by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, therefore, Is like Offering
to cure a sick man by feeding shim
poison.
1t has seemed to THE SUN that the
best hope of the railroads for fair
| treatment-necessary treatment to
preserve them and to serve the coun-
try-lay In a Secretary of Transpor-
| taton. As the Secretary Of the Navy
will fight with Congress, will fight
| with anybody, to get for his navy
what it needs. and as the Secretary
of War will fight likewise to get for
his army what it needs, so would a
Secretary Of Transportation fight to
get for the railroads what they need.
1t Is hardly to be expected, however,
| that Secretary Of Transportation
! would have or properly could have
the power to make railway rates at
his own will. Yet somebody must
make the rates.
If Congress should create both n
Secretary of Transportation and n
new and competent rate making au-
| thority this might be n solution. Yet
one shudders TO think the new one
might be only a duplicate of the old
Jack the Ripper commission.
| Congress can offer something better,
| for there is no doubt that the last
thing the long suffering railroads and
the heavily burdened American people
| want to see is the old Interstate Com
merce Commission, or anything like
the old Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, back in the power and the OPP
portunity to repeat the unreasonable
| harm from which the roads and the
nation have so terribly suffered.

"The Dardanelles Campaign"

silence led to the tragic consequence that
Winston Churchill believed the two Off
GERS to be in favor of his plan!
Mr.. Nevinson's method of dividing up
the attacks by the British forces on the
Turkish positions chronologically is an
admirable one and a novelty in descrip-
tons of battles that makes for ease of
understanding them more clearly. II was
generally accepted by military writers
that the Allies lost one opportunity to
gain the passage Of the Dardaneles by
not sticking it" for one more day in
the first purely naval attack. But it
probably is not so well known by what
narrow margin they stood to win the land
campaign on that morning Of August Q
when Major Allanson and his men stood
between Chunk Bair and Hill O, saw
the Dardanelles below them, "the aim and
object Of ll these battles and sudden
deaths" Allanson and his men had taken
the height, and then they dashed down the
slope after the fleeing Turks only to be
overtaken by that supreme tragedy of war
a salvo of shells which Nevinson declares
probably" were British. That burst of
shells settled for the second time the near
triumph of the Allies in that campaign;
for the Turks promptly took advantage
Of the confusion into which the British
troops had fallen and drove them back
over the ridge mo soldier in our army
was ever to behold that triumphant pros
pect again"
Every one who has read some of the
many tales of this campaign can but
wonder how a nation that could so trag-
ically mismanage the beginning Of cam
paign could work itself up to so high a
pitch of effectiveness as marked the oper-
alton of the evacuation Of the peninsula.
Even a German war correspondent was
moved to write of this last event. $50
long as wars exist the British evacuation
of the Ar Burnu and Anafarta fronts
will stand before the eyes Of all strategists
of retreat as hitherto quite unattaned
masterpiece"
Yet it did the one and the other; and
between, thousands of gallant men gave
up their lives to attain great object that
through every imaginable error was
brought to naught. OF plan and failure,
of gallantry that has no parallel in the
war, Mr.. Nevinson gives his readers the
most complete picture we yet have had in
any one volume, book recording "the dis
astrous and tragic disabilities of our race,
but on the other hand its versatility, its
and its happy though silent well
come to any free sacrifice involving great
issues for mankind"
THE DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN. By
II. W. NEvINsoN. Henry Holt 6 Co. S..
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-29


L n paign was fought as recently as
1915, thirteen books had been written
about it before H. w. Nevinson set about
presenting his account of that greatest
British failure of the war. Moreover, ow-
ing to the habit of lo-Saxons of wash
ing their military incompetency linen in
public, we have the extraordinarily
frank and comprehensive Dardanelles
commission report, Sir Ian Hamilton's
dispatches" and Sir Charles Monro's
despatch on the evacuaion-the famous
document which begins with the calm but
damning statement that the British posi-
ton at the Dardanelles had every defect
known to military science" In a sense
the story of this campaign has been set
down more extensively than any single
feature of the war; for not even the re-
treat from Mons has had more books writ
ten about it.
Yet the defect of this matter is that it
is too abundant and scattered. And the
merit Of Mr.. Nevinson's work is that it as
sembles all the facts Of the campaign into
one volume, presents them in a well
ordered sequence, stripped of much Of the
passion that has attended most of the
stories or military accounts of this great
strategic enterprise, as it unqueStionably
was.
To those whose business it was to fol-
low the military and naval operations of
the war professionally there will be little
that is new in this volume Nor will the
general reader, as most of us were during
hostilities, find that Mr.. Nevinson has any
fresh tales to tell. The great merit of
this book, and it is a very great merit in
deed, is that it begins the story of the
operations at the Dardanelles at the very
beginning, with Winston Churchilrs in
ceptiOn Of the plan on September l,
1914, and follows it through its terrible
yet gallant course until the last man with
drew from that scene of death and desc
lation, in a military sense, on January 9,
1916.
His minute details of the succession Of
events within the British War Council
leading up to the final decision to make
this attempt to force the DardaneIles and
seize Constantinople are so clear in their
sequence as to set every one stranght in
this matter for, all time to come Par
tlcularly British is his presentation of the
fact that when Lord Fisher then at the
head of the Admiralty, went to the ses-
sions of the war council attended by two
technical advisers, these two naval officers
never spoke at the sessions, since no one
addressed any questions to them. They
thought it would be 'bad form" for them
to give advice until it was asked, and their
