(See picture page 3.) By Associated Press. LONDON, Oct.

12.Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, 94, inspector general of oversee forces in the first World war and commander of Britain's 1015 Dardanelles expeditionary force, died at his home here today. The disastrous expedition made him both a hero and the center of one of the greatest controversies that grew out of the war. Conceived by Winston Churchill, then first lord of the admiralty, the scheme called for forcing the straits, capturing Constantinople (now Istanbul) and thus giving imperial Russia a supply route by sea as well as starting a great flanking movement on the central powers' lines across Europe by cutting the Turkish empire in twain. i Hopeless Task Abandoned.

Warships failed to get past the forts guarding the waterway and after long delays land troops es-1 tablished a footing on the western side of the Gallipoli peninsula in an attempt to reduce the fortifications from the rear. But the Turks, brought to fighting efficiency by German officers and led by Mustapha Kemal Pasha. who afterwards became Kamal Ataturk, first president of the Turkish republic, had been given plenty of time to organize resisttance. After four months of fierce fighting the British lines had been advanced six miles at a cost of 40,000 lives. Hamilton was recalled and eventually the hopeless task was abandoned.

Bore Storm' Brunt. Hamilton, as commander-inchief, bore the brunt of the gtorm of criticism that resulted. One of the chief arguments against him was that when he arrived at the Dardanelles and saw that all ment of surprise was lacking, he should have resigned his command rather than proceed with the costly fighting. No question of his personal conduct could be raised, and after a lengthy investigation by a royal commission, he was exonerated. He retired from the army in 1920.
