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

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

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."

The discovery of Vitona places
America ahead of the world in another

can inventions, such as the telegraph,
telephone, aeroplane and submarine.
Richard B. Henry, a well known
young farmer, who lives on R. F. D.
No. 3, Greenwood, S. C., says:
"I suffered with rheumatism ever
since I was a child. I also had stomach
trouble and indigestion so bad I
had to be very careful about what 1
ate. 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. Beam, the Vitona expert,
made the following statement:
"Unmon onoruv Honpnris lareplv
upon the stomach, kidneys and liver.
When' these organs shirk their duty
ambition wanes. Vitona restores'tone
to the system and is delicately adapted
to all forms of stomach trouble,
nervousness, indigestion, rheumatism,
catarrh of the head and stomach. It
re-vitalizes those who are weak and
run-down. It is proving a blessing to
hundreds of homes.
Vitona is sold by Mack's Drug
Store, Bamberg, S. C.; Peoples Pharmacy,
Denmark, S. C.; J. H. Roberts,

An exchange wants to know "why
it takes a woman so long to put on
the little she wears to evening functions."
Why, she has to be very
particular as to location. A mistake
would be embarrassing.
