THE DESPATCH REVIEWED.

WARM PRAISE FOR TROOPS’ GALLANTRY. RECRIMINATIONS DEPRECATED. GENERAL HAMILTON’S STIRRING STORY. LONDON, July 7. The “Daily News,” reviewing Sir lan Hamilton's report, says the landing was a teat of unparalleled daring. Hitherto the storming of the Heights or Abraham was regarded as the most romantic achievement of British audacity, but it offers no parity to the stupendous triumph that Sir lan Hamilton records Only tlie immensity of the stakes at issue made the challenge thinkable. The “Daily Telegraph” says the despatch is a vivid human document. . It lifts the veil completely. The heavy losses are •admitted and explained. Through the long, dignified narrative runs the golden thread of heroism. The “Daily Mirror” states whether the men came from Lancashire, Australia. Worcester or New Zealand, each and everyone was a hero. The glorious days of Drake were outdistanced by the splendour and bravery of the men on the rocky natural fortress of Gallipoli. The “Westminster Gazette" deprecates seeking scapegoats over the Dardanelles expedition. It states: The operations would not have been undertaken unless a good many people shared the responsibility. It is a public duty to support the Government in giving all possible aid to the gallant troops, and not to waste- time with recriminations.
