it would be an exaggeration to say that the Expedition, considered as a whole, was a complete failure.”. It is only when the methods by which it was sought to atlain the object in view come to be considered that ground for adverse criticism is furnished. From the outset the desirability of carrying out combined aval and military operations seems to have been recognised. At all events, when the project, which was first mooted on November 24th, 1914, came up for re-consideration on January 2nd, 1915, Lord KITCHENER declared that troops were not available. The War Council's acceptance of this statement is described as “unfortunate, because investigu tion would have revealed otherwise.” At that time, however, Lord KITCHENSE occupied "a unique position." In the Fords of Mr. CHURCHILL, be absolutely it is purported to be founded, dominated our counsels, His decisions were invariably accepted as final. Scarce

THE DARDANELLES REPORT. The report of the Commission, which was appointed fast year to inquire into the Origin sad inception of the Dardanelles Expedition, goes a long way towards exonerating Mr. WINSTON CHURCHILL from the charge of having forced upon his colleagues in the Cabinet an ill considered venture in defiance of the warnings of his expert advisers at the Admiralty. It is true that Mr. CEUR CHILA was responsible for suggesting the Expedition, but there were admittedly powerful reasons of a military and political nature, to justify him in this course The Expedition was originally undertaken to create a diversion in favour of the Russians, and in this
