A WAR ZONE i ' • * • ;, • WIDE AREA OF NORTH SEA IS DECLARED “DANSEROUS” FINLEY IS BURIED Great Britain Warns Neutrals That Belligerent Activities Make Re- gion V n safe—Barred Waters Like- t ly to B© Mined Up to Coast of Den- mark and Holland—-Washington is Notifled. Important naval developments in the European war are presaged in an innocent-looking British ad miralty statement declaring an en larged area of the North Sea dan gerous to shipping on account of belligerent operations. t The announcement 6f the admiral ty is forwarded here by the embassy at London. Heretofore the pHnci- pal area, banned as .dangerous by the British' authorities was a rectan gular mined area extending from the mouth of the Scheldt River opposite Flushing to the . Kentish Knock Lightship and Goodwin Sands Light ship, opposite the* entrance to the Thames. This mine field was estab lished to bar the entry, of German naval forces into the Strait* of Davis and the English. Channel. The new “dangerous area” is 'apparently designed to serve as a bulwark against the egress of the German fleet from the Kiel Canal and its various bases on the North Sea coast of Germany, for it is so delimited as to make a large an a pf water' opposite these German bjisos dangerous to shipping, mer- civaut captains being warned not t<r> enter this ngion except at. their H*k. Late Congressman is Laid to Best at Yofk on Sunday. Simple funeral, services preceded the burial of the late Congressman Finley in Rose HilLCemetery at York Sunday morning. Approximately two thousand people from N all parts of the Fifth Congressional District attended the funeral. A special train brought several hundred people from Lancas ter and Rock Hill and a special from Chester brought numbers vrom that section. - The congressional special arrived at eleven o’clock. The congressional delegation consisted of Senators Till man and Smith, Hustings of Wiscon sin, Fernol of Maine, Robinson of Ar kansas, Champ Clark, Speaker of the House; the South Carolina congres sional delegation and Representa tives Bell of Georgia, Moon of Ten nessee, Cox of Indiana, McClintock of Oklahoma, Lloyd of * Montana, Randell of California, Goodvdn amd Wingo of Arkansas, Madden of Illi nois, Steenerson of Minnesota, Evans of Montana, Robert Gordon, assist ant sergeant-at-arms. ? The body was brought from the home to the church shortly after eleven o'clock, Chester Commandery, Knights Templar, acting as an hon orary escort. Following simple ser vices of A. R. P. Church, the funeral procession of several score automo biles proceeded to the cemetery, where the body was interred in the family burying grounds. Hundreds of beautiful floral tributes from friends over the State and nation covered the grave. The congression al special returned to Washington Sunday afternoon. .

One man in England; and only one, seemed to grasp the meaning of the eastern theatre of war—Wih- ston Churchill—and, if we, may judge by the length of time which elapsed from the* day war was de clared until a definite move was made in the ea^t, his realization came but slowly. That he did see, however, is* proved^ by the venture cf Gallipoli. , This was the first of th© Alllee* blunders in the east. From a mili tary standpoint there was nothing incongruous in the idea of forcing the passage of the strait and cap turing the Turkish capital. Nor was there the slightest exaggeration of the Importance of the success of such an enterprise. The fault was in the manner of execution of the idea. In other words, the strategy was good but the tactics poor. The first mistake lay in the belief that the British navy was amphi bious. No other explanation seems to fit in with the idea piat the navy alone could take and hold land posi tions. But the navy was sent alone, and only after it was demonstrated that the assigned task was impossi ble was the military force put in4- transit for the peninsula. But the Talks had had their warning as to w'hnt was afoot and had established across the narrowest part of the pen insula a series of defensive positions which were too -strong to break. This was finally realized and a new’ effort was made . in another direction—at Suvla Bay. This mere ly furnished the opportunity for an other error in judgment.* As in the first" attempt also it was an error of tnctics rntner ttrairat strategy: "The *idea in this effort was to Land in rear of the Turkish line of defense and Hank it out of position.
