AN AT GALLIPOLI FIASCO (Continued from First Page.) ““the Dardanelles marked a -very criti- cal stage df the whole operation.’ I ought to have been clear that when tygs was once done even if troops were not actually landed, it would be apparent to the world that a serlous attack was _intended and a with . d#awal could not longer be effected ‘withqut running serious risk of 1oss of prestige. At that moment, as time was all. important, no compromise’ was possible between making an immed- jate and vigordus effort to’ ensure stic- % cess gt the Dardanelles by joint naval and military occup&fion and falling on the original intention of de- ving a naval attack if the exper- _gained~ during. the bombard- fherit were unsatisfactory. ° “On Feb. 20, Lord Kitchener de- ed that the twenty-ninth division. : the u-om which, by the de- sion of Feb. 16, were' to be sent to e East should-not be sent at that ime, and Col. Ejtsgerald instructed [ the director of naval tradsport that ‘transports for that division and the rest of the expeditionary force ‘would not be required. This was done with- ut informing the first lord and the tch of troops was thus delayed three weeks. This delay greatly com- robability of success of attack by Jand forces and’ ma- teriaily increased “the ‘difficulties en- eountered in' the -final attack some dilitary authorities on the ecision to abandon:the naval attack r the bombardment of March 18 as inevitable. There was no - meet- #ing of the war council between March © 19 and May 14. Meanwhile import- agt land operations were undertaken. e thought that before h opera- flmul were commenced the war coun- cil should have carefully reconsidered ;tht ‘whole position.- In our opinion the _jprime minister ought to have sum- Zmoned a meeting of the war council if not sum- of the . war 4 for such meeting. We think that was a seri- s omission. We consider that the r nsibility of those members of the binet who did not attend the meet- s of the war council was limited to e fact that they delegated their au- ty to their colleagues who at- ded those meetings. . % ™we are of the opinion that Lord Eitchener did not sufficiently ayail 1f of the services of his general , with the result that more work a8 undertaken by him than it was “possible for one man to do add want of efficiency resulted. I.*We are unable to concur in the w set forth by Lord Fisher that it 2. his duty, if he. differed from the fhief of his department, to maintain ce at the council or to resign. We #iink that the adoption of any such principle generally would impair' the efficiency of public service. #*'We think that when the main ob- Ject was not attaiged certain import- st political advantages upon the na- fure of which we have already dwelt vGre secured by the -Dardanelles ex- tion. Whether these advantages ‘worth the loss of life-and treas- rn involved is and must always re- a matter of opinion. .-» Lord Kitchener’s Role. The report of the commission says * Lord Kitchener’'s premature h and the death of his secretary, or Fitzgerald, renders it impossi- to state with the same confidence fn:the cases of lving witnesses opinions and aims of Lord Kitch- at différent periods of the pro- dings. The commission does not jeve that even deference to the mory of the illustrated dead would iify it in abstaining from corre- indent revelations of his course. report adds: it is mecessary to do justice to: &o as well as to the dead.”” for that purpose and, igioned, other’ membe: 2 . ‘Churchill inferred thats rd mner's personal qualities gnd: ) pai It Is Good Business - Insurance to have a depositary for your working capital upon which you can depend for Safety and Efficlency.

He was never overruled by the war council or cabinet in any matter, great or small. Scarcely any one ever ventured to argue with him in the council. Major General Chase Caldwell, who was director of military opertions at the war office at the time of the Dar- danelles expedition, testified that deral staff virtually ceased to exi because it was not consulted. The principle of centralization, the réport say, was pushed to the ex- treme point by Lord Kitchener. proved successful in the minor opera- tions in the Sudan but in ln;‘et operations it threw on one man more work than any individual could cope ‘with. The report is an interesting one dealing exclusively with _the origin and inception of the attack upon the Dardanelles. It is signed by Lord Cromer, who was chairman of the commission; Andrew Fisher, repre- unun; Australia; Thomas McKensie, representing New Zealahd; Sir Fred- erick Cawley, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster; James A. Clyde, lord advocate; Stephen L. Gwynn, nation- alist member of the house of com- mons; Rear Admiral Sir Willam H. May, Field Marshal Baron Nicholson and Justice Pickford. In addition to the dissenting not of Mr. Fisher and Mr. McKensle, - a separate report was presented by Wal- ter F. Roch, liberal member of the h:;::e of commons from Pembroke- 8] 3 issued with the dissents from the jority that the naval .advisers should ‘have expressed their views at the war council and from the opinion of the majority that Lord Fisher was not justified «in remaining silent. - Mr, Fisher says: “I dissent in the strongest terms from any suggestion that depart- mehtal advisers of a minister in his company at council meetings, should express any views at all other thgn ta. the minister and through him, un} specifically instituted to do so. I am of ‘the opinion that it would seal the fate of responsibjlity givén if the ad- vantage of the were to re the responsibility of ministers to parlia- wment and to the people on matters of public policy. The minister has command of the opinions and views of all the officers of the department he administers on matters of public icy. Good stewardship demands frem ministers when frank, fair and full statements of all . opinion of trusted and experienced officials to the colleagues when they have direct reference to matters of hikh policy.” Thomas McKenzie, high commis- sioner of New Zealand in London, takes similar oWjections to those of ‘Mr.. Fisher and to the conclusions of the Dardanelles commission regarding Lord Fisher’s eventual advisers. ‘He also expresses the opinion that the commission is not yet justified in coming to a decision as to what the results accomplished.

GOODRICH, vgm WILLIAM GOODB.!CH. wl Steel and Pig Iron Markets New York, March '8,—The Iron Age says: Belief in early government purchasing on a war footing scale seems to be underlying reason for the sharp _ advances and continued strength of both iron and steel mar- kets. Facing the . possible govern- ment pre-emption of space in miills, after suffering the curtailment of output, particularly throughout Feb- Tuary, amounting to perhaps 30 per cent. as an estimated average, both Pig iron and finished steel are sensitive to even expected buying aof consumers, In all this any check due to di- minished exporting is discounted. In some lines inability to supply on ex- port orders serves to reduce unwel- come high pressure on mill operations. Big sales have not been the order but interest in protection for late 1917 and early 1918 needs, with blast. fur- naces and steel mills well booked for much of these periods. i Spot buying of iron has taken a second place to contracting for late this year and for the first half af 1918, Prices are in a state of ebullition with Southern iron though most difficult to establish, sales occurring -with a Tange as high as $7 pér ton and with substantially no- difference between spot and forwdtd business. Resales are responsible for some of the price irregularities. The. ‘Alabama irons are clearly rising to a parity with Northern irons. Sales have been made of No. 2 foundry at $28, Birm- ingham. Virginia foundry iron has brought $21 at furnace for the first half of 1918. Bessemer iron is fully $1 per ton higher. How serious has been the coke shortage is indicated in the pig iron production figures for. February, which give the month’s output at 2,637,042 tons or a daily production of 94,180 tons, the lowest since August, 1915, when the ayerage daily output was 89,666, For September, 1915, the output was 95,085 tons per day. The February output compares with 101, 643 tons per day in January, or over a 7 per cent. drop. Three more fur- naces were in blast on March 1, 315 in all, than on February 1, b\lt the rate at which thby were making iron was ' 96,874 tons a dly against 101,866 tons on February 1 A rapid recovery may \lndoubtedly be looked for, as coke -production is better and rallroad transportation is improved. This fact is shown In easier prompt coke prices. Pittsburgh sales being $10 against 312 last week. Wiré and wire products and lron and steel pipe are $4 per ton higher light rails have been - advanced $5; last week’s rise of $5 per ton in bar iron is more general; some ferroal- loys are $2 and $3 per ton higher; some grades of scrap material are commanding 50c and $1 above last week’'s quotations, and several plate mills are asking 6.50¢ on ordinary tank quality and 7c on ship plates, these representing advances of $10 to $20 per ton. As a prelude to a probable advance in its prices of bars, shapes and plates, which are of course generally understood to cover deferred shipments, mostly in 1918, the steel corporation has withdrawn quotations. It appears that the late buying of ag- ricultural bars cover shipment to a large extent in the first half' of 1918. The advance in wire brings wire nails, for example, to the high level of January, February and March, 1900. The advance in wrought pipe applies not only to line pipe and ofl- country goods, which have long been in strong demand, ,but it covers butt- weld pipe which has also advanced, out of consideration of costs, in spite of the country’s large capacity and the relatively early deliveries obtain- able. The advances in light rails re- sult also from the cost of semi-finished steel. Semi-finished steel affords the one negative feature. Several thousand tons of billets, have been offered at $60 per ton, or $5 below the Pitts- urgh quotation, and resales of Bes- semer billets have been made at this price for export. Wire rods, on the contrary, are strong out of sympathy with the advances in wire products. Small lots of high-carbon rods have sold at $125 per ton. The week's big sales have occurred chiefly in export business. For France 10,000 tons of rails have been placed, leaving 50,000 to 100,000 tons under negotiation. Some 14,000 cars also for France have been bought. Japan has paid 6.50c, Pittsburgh basis, for 10,000 tons of ship plates. Export inquiries for iron easily total 40,000 tons, all Bessemer, and a fresh inquiry for 20,000 to 40,000 tons of shell bars for the last half has come from France. The government naval program will take all of 200,000 tons for 1917, exclusive of armor plate. STEAMER MONGOLIA SAFE Was ¥irst American Vessel to Carry Mails Through Submarine Zone— Cretic Docks at Naples. New" York, March 8—The Ameri- can steamship Mongolia of the Atlan- tic Transport line, which left here on February 20, with cargo and 1,200 sacks of United States mail, first American vessel to leave with mail since the German war zone declara- tion, arrived safely at London on March 5, according to cablegrams re- ceived here today.
