a speech In the house of commons yes-
terday remarkable for it's plain speak
Ing and expression of confidence in
the ultimate triumph of the allies.
Especially significant was the fol-
lowing declaration, delivered with al
the force the speaker could command:
II there has been any operation in
the history of the world that, having
peen taken, it was worth while to
carry through with the utmost vigor.
fury and sustained flow of reinforce
ments and utter disregard of life. it
Is that operation so darIngly begun
under Tan Hamilton by the immortal
landing in the Dardanelles."
Germany's Power Diminishing
Great Britain's command of the
seas and the rapid and enormous
destruction of German manhood were
factors upon which the country might
confidently reply. Germany's power
was diminishing; Great Britain's was
continually becoming stronger.
I'VE are the reserve of the allied
cause" he said, "and the time has
come when that reserve must be
thrown fully into the scale"
Wins sympathy of Whole House
For months Mr.. Churchill has lived
under reproaches. His entrance to the
house yesterday was passed almost
unnoticed. As he rose. his supporters
gave him encouraging cheers. Appro-
baton increased in volume as he an
swered one charge after another and
he concluded amidst a hurricane of
applause. while members of all politi-
cal parties crossed the house to con-
gratulate him.
