IMPERISHABLE NAMES AND EXPLOITS.

ANZAC'S EPITAPH

(Received Wednesday, at 9.50 a.m.)

LONDON, Tuesday

The Pall Mall Gazette states that the Dardanelles will always evoke memories of unparalleled valour, but the enterprise has been a case of "too late" and "too little."

The Westminster Gazette says that brave men have not died at Gallipoli in vain. As long as the British race lasts Suvla Bay and Anzae will be imperishable names full of proud memory for the Commonwealth and New Zealand, which sent their sons to the Old Country's call, and an undying inspiration to all who come after to emulate their example. The Manchester Guardian says that the first landing at Gallipoli is now recognised as the supreme exploit of the British infantry in the whole of its history.

A London correspondent quotes an Eye Witness, who declared that probably there was never such resourceful, fearless fighters as the splendid Australians and New Zealanders. Troy, across the Straits, never echoed with the feet of such heroes. He quotes the lines, ' 'All was done that men could do, but all was done in vain." He adds: "That's Anzae's epitaph."
