* WHAT ENGLAND IS DOING. Parliament Returns Thanks to All; the Fighters. I The British parliament recently adopted a resolution presented by Premier Lloyd George expressing the thanks of the parliament to the navy and the army, including the overseas troops and the mercantile marine, for their services in the war and to the women in the medical and other auxiliaries, and expressing sympathy to the relatives and friends of those who have given their lives ( lor tneir country. rrenner i^ioyu George, in moving the resolution, said that even if he had leisure in these ^ times, especially the anxiety of the ^ last two or three days, he felt he could not do justice to this great theme. The deeds mentioned in the resolutions were known to and had won the admiration of every subject of the king. The British navy was like one of those internal organs essential to life, of which we are unconscious until something goes wrong. In this war, said the premier, the navy had been the anchor of the allied cause. If it lost its hold, the hopes of the alliance would be shattered. The premier told how the navy had guaranteed supplies to the army abroad and material which it had enabled the allies to get from abroad, ?*UUIUQ "But for the navy, disaster would have fallen upon the allied cause. Prussia would be mistress, of Europe and, through Europe, of the world. Despite hidden foes, despite illegitimate naval warfare, despite black piracy, the navy has preserved the highways of the sea for Britain and her allies. r Navy's Good Work. , "Since the* beginning of the war """tlLe navy has insured the safe trans^ portation to the British and allied armies of 13,000,000 men, 2,000,000 horses, 25,000,000 tons of explosives, and supplies and 51,000,000 tons of coal and oil. The losses of men out of the whole 13,000,000 were only 3,500 of which only 2,700 were lost through the action of the enemy. Altogether 136,000,000 tons have . been transported by British ships." It was too early to summarize the effect of the blockade by the British navy which would be comlete, declared the premier, if it had not left ^ the gate to the Balkans unlocked. It was not the fault of the grand fleet if it had not had many opportunities; thfit was due to the enemy's knowing its efficacy. Since the battle of Jutland the Germans had never seen fit to challenge it. He paid a tribute to the work of the smaller craft, which were to be found in all seas, being numbered by the thousands. Their hardships and dangers were barely realized, yet the fruits of their action were enjoyed by the people of these islands. While before the war difficulty had - been found in getting men to join the mercantile marine, on account of better conditions ashore, yet notwithstanding the strain of hardships and peril that had increased manifoldly since the war began, there had not been found one man afraid to return to the sea. Men torpedoed once or twice hardly waited for their papers before they returned. . The British expeditionary force, continued Mr. Lloyd George, now number more than 3,000,000. It was a great triumph of organization but was only rendered possible by the heroism of the old army?"the finest fighting troops in the world." It saved France and Europe, but hardly . a man of that army was left." Three Great Fighters. The time had not come to deal with individual achievements but he must reffer to Field Marshals French and Haig and General Maude. Of Haig, ' 1 -11- A 0116 01 tne niosi unmaiu meuiueio ui the general staff, he said: "Splendid as the fighting qualities of the troops have been, the success has been due in large measure to the power of the organization, the persist^ ence and forethougght of Haig." Seventy-five per cent, of the con^ tribution in men, said the premier, had come from England and 75 per J cent of the loss had fallen upon England. Scotland had done its share; Ireland had made a distinguished contribution and in voluntary recruiting Wales had beaten the record by a shade. The dominions had contributed between 700,000 and 800,000 men. He praised the work of the ? - nMnfnnn fxnnf tVlO uanaaiaus uu mc ncsicm num, iuv, Anzacs in Gallipoli and France and the South Africans particularly in clearing Delville wood. The memory of the powerful aid given by India would never be forgotten. "Never has the British empire shown greater or more elective union," exclaimed the premier. "It has been regarded as a dream: it is no.w a fact, a powerful tact, in fashioning the history of the world." . After the references to the various auxiliary services, ' tne premier in moving words, offered the sympathy of the house to the relatives o( those 't BEAVERS REINSTATED CHIEF. Exoneration l'or Atlanta Police Head Formerly Convicted. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9.?James L. Beavers, former chief of the Atlanta police department, convicted on charges involving inefficiency and insubordination, early this morning was exonerated and reinstated as chief by the police commission, before which the case was tried for a third time. Beavers waived all claim j to back salary, amounting to approxi-j mately $S,000. Dismissed August, 1915. Chief Beavers was dismissed from office in August, 1915, after he had been convicted on two charges. The case was carried to the Fulton Superior Court on a writ of ceriorari and ?r t-Vm i^nninii'scinn aftpri 1 CtUI 11CU WW Uiw vvmiiiAw.v^. ( which he was again convicted on I amended charges. The case then was carried to the Superior Court for a second time on another certiorari and; returned to the commission, the third; trial, which had been postponed three j times, resulting in his exonera-j tion and subsequent reinstatemnt. j Capt. William M. Mayo was appoint-! ed police chief after Chief Beavers'sj dismissal. The case has attracted wide attention because of the extended litigation in the case and the local issues | involved.

Ex-Premier Asquith, who followed, Redmond Adds Words. John Redmond, the Irish leader,: said his object in rising was to em-j phasize that what the premier and Mr. Asquith had said was the absolute unanimous sentiment of the house. The Irish troops, he said, had shed a! lustre upon their race, and, however! torn by dissension or misfortune their country might be at this moment, he; believed that the whole Irish race today was filled with pride and grati-' tude for their achievements. "The gallant Irish troops have during the last year and a half had a bitter trial imposed upon them in thei events happening in their own country," he declared. "Those events have! not touched their valor or their loyalty. They have remained one in their i motto. ? "But- nevertheless many of them: had thought that they were going to fight not only for liberty of the world; but in special sense for the happi-j ness, prosperity^ and liberty of Ireland. Now they have seen a section j at any rate of their country men at; home repudiate that idea. If my| voice could reach them, l would sayi that tliey need have no misgivings.; that they were right from thb first | and that time will show that while they are fighting for liberty and civi-, lization in Europe they are also fighting for the civilization and liberty of their own land." i STOP!

I had severe pains in my stomach after eating and vomiting spells would set in. Gas would form on my stomach and give me misery. I had awful rheumatic pain in my joints and in my feet and ankles, and got so bad off I had to take to the bed and stay there for weeks. I lost strength and fell off until I weighed only 124 pounds. My heart would beat fast and sometimes I fearer! I had heart disease. I tried all kinds of medicines, but nothing seemed to help me. "Vitona got right after my troubles and now feel like a different man. The iheumatic pains have disappeared, my heart is regular and the pains in my stomach are a. thing of the past. I have a good appetite and eat just anything I want without any bad effects. I am not nervous like I was. I sleep sound and can do as much work on the farm as anybody. 1 now weigh 14 0 pounds, which is a gain of sixteen pounds, and am full of vitality. I consider Vitona to be the greatest discovery of the age, and believe it will be of untold benefit to suffering humanity." Mr. L. S.
