CHURCHILL ANSWERS CRITICS.:
WINS THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
Shows That "Blunders" Had Approval
ofExpert Advisers Before They
Were Initiated.

naval and military action in the Dar-
danelles was the best way of attacking
them. We asked the war Office what num-
Der of troops would be necessary to seize
Gallipoli by joint amphibious co-ordina-
ton. and November 80 sent minute to
Lord Kitchener offering to congregate
transports for 10000 men in Egypt, as 1

miral Sir. Henry Bradwardine Jack
son. the present first sea lord, the
opinion that the Dardanelles could
not be rushed, but could be reduced
by a regular, sustained naval lombard
ment-which, Mr.. Churchill said, made a
profound impression on his mind-and
knowing that Admiral Lord Fisher (the
former first sea lord) was strongly In
favor of some action in Turkish waters,
Mr.. Churchill had an interview January
2S with Premier Asquith and Lord Fisher,
at which he gathered the impression that
Lord Fisher consented to a purely naval
attack on the Dardanelles. The French
staff also approved, and the. operations
were undertaken, with the results already
known.
I'VE lost two old vessels" remarked
Mr.. Churchill. which, if they had not
been lost in the Dardanelles, would have
been rusting in some foreign port

Opposed by Lord Fisher.

Mr. Churchill said that he wanted to
resume purely naval operations. but Lord
Fisher opposed this. They could not agree,
and, added the former first lord, "the
month which passed between the cessa-
ton of the naval operations and the
opening of the military operations was
one of the least pleasant 1 ever spent In
my life
He complained that he had not received
from the first sea lord the clear guidance
tefore or the firm support after to which
he was entitled.
There is no place in war for mis-
givings or reserve after a decision is
TAKEN" he continued. IF the first sea
lord did not approve of the operations
he should have refused his consent. If
he had refused they would not have
taken place"
Mr.. Churchill accepted general minis
terial responsibility. subject to his
written and recorded opinion, adding:
IF we had known what We now know
of the cost of the military operations.

hesitated to face the loss Of prestige
involved in breaking off the opera

BANK CASHIER At kITzM|L-
LER HAS BEEN MISSING
From His Home Since Saturday. May
29th--Was Last Seen In Cumberland.

Mr.. Edward J. Hamill, cashier of the
First National Bank at Kitzmiller,
Garrett county, who is also interested
in coal operation at his town, being a
stakeholder and one of the directors of
the Hamill Coal Mining Company, has
been missing from his home ever since
Saturday afternoon. May 10Th, upon
which day he left Kitzmiller with the
intention of going to Clarksburg, w.
Va, for the purpose of meeting a num-
Der of coal operators on business.
Mr.. Hamill was last seen in the
Windsor Hotel at Cumberland to which
point he went direct from his home over
the Western Maryland Railroad, arriv-
ing there in the afternoon of the day
above mentioned. He remained at the
hotel until II 80 o'clock that night, but
instead of doing so he left the hotel
shortly afterward and Notwithstanding
every effort on the part of his friends
and members of his family to locate
him, his whereabouts still remain a
mystery. His failure to fill his business
appointment in Clarksburg caused his
friends to make an effort to locate him.
For several months past Mr.. Hamill
has been suffering from the effects of d
nervous breakdown due to overwork,
but his condition was not thought to be
serious, hence he continued to carry on
business at the bank until the day of
his disappearance.
While the officials of the bank placed
every confidence in Mr.. HamilPs in
tergity and never questioned his morals
in the conduct of the business of the
institution in which he was the head,
they have caused thorough examina-
ton of his books and accounts to be
made with tine result that everything
was found intact and the accounts
straight.
Mr.. W. L. Thomas. assistant cashier
of the First National Bank in Oakland,
is now in charge of the Kitzmiller bank
and will remain there until Mr.. Hamill
is located or his successor is chosen.

On last Sunday the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Grants
vile held their annual memorial service
in which very few SURVIVORS of that
grand army which marched in 1861 re-
manned to take part. 1t was the ed
itor's privilege to be in Grantsville
Sunday afternoon few minutes before
the veterans dispersed to their respec-
tive homes and it was indeed pathetic
sight to witness the decreptitude which
has shattered the frames of those who
were the bloom of the nation fifty years
ago. On the street at Grantsville were
less than half score of those who wore
the blue. they having just returned
from the cemetery where they had
honored their deceased comrades in the
only manner left possible for them to
do-by planting on their graves, flag
and strewing them with natures gifts,
flowers which are just now growing In
profusion in every nook and corner of
the woods and gardens The veterans
were accompanied in their services by a
delegation of the Modern Woodmen of
the World and an armed escort of
young men.
