LONDON, Aug. 25
General Sir lan Hamilton, in a tribute to General Von Sanders, says: “Ho was a most chivalrous foe, as all who fought him would agree. He might often have easily fired on our wounded. Yet he always avoided any breach of the rules of war. His name after the war, was listed among those to bo tried for their action during hostilities. I sent a. letter to “The Times” saying that I was assured I ,spoke for the Dardanelles troops in saying that they did not wish to see him tried. He was a clean fighter, and he played fair during our one brief armistice. He never shelled clearing stations or hospital camps.”
