SAVIOUR OF TURKEY
MUSTAPHA KEMAL
ALL-POWERFUL
ASTOUNDING CAREER OF GRIM LEADER
(By CAMBELL DIXON)
[In the Oficial History of the Gallipoli Campaign, Brig.-Gen. C. F. Aspinall-Oglander paid a soldier's tribute to Mustapha Kemal'a "outstanding genius for command."
"Seldom in history," he wrote, "can the exertions of a single divisional commander have ex-
ercised, on three separate occa sions, so profound an influence, not only on the course of a battle, but perhaps on the fate of a campaign and even the destiny of an Empire."]
"Grecks and Turks alike fought with reckless courage, threw themselves into the storms of lead in a white madness to get at each other with cold steel A Greek regiment refused to take cover or use trenches; the divisional staf came up into the line with it, and both were wiped out by machine- gun fire.
"A Turkish battalion wavered: the brigade general ran forward into the open, pulled up tho colonel, blew his brains out with his revolver, steadied the bat- talion, and was himself blown to pieces by Greek riflemen. One division lost three-quarters of its men, another was blotted right out. Seven divisional generals were killed in close fighting.
