CLOSING APPEAL Is
 MADE BY BALFOUR

Let this vote tonight show that we are united people, was his closing ap- peal. Do not let us give false inn pression to the world that in the moment of the country's gravest emergency we are divided one against another. Aban- don your abstract theories and remem- Der we are dealing with stern realities which call for great sacrifices
 Then came the vote, which was taken amid eager interest as the members filed before the tellers and peers crowded to their galleries to witness the final result. The announcement of the figures was received with a tremendous outburst of cheering, which rang through the cham- Der and was echoed to the waiting crowds outside.
 Scores of members in khaki waved their handkerchefs and the air was rent with white papers flung in triumph at the government success
 Amid the demonstration Premier As auith, his face usually pale, now glowing with satisfaction, walked down the floor of the house to present the bill formally to the chamber. His appearance was the signal for a rapturous ovation, members of all sides standing and cheering, while the galleries could with difficulty be re- strained from joining i'll the enthusiasm.
 An analysis of the vote showed that the government had held the great bulk of the liberal and conservative vote. The Irish nationalists had voted against the bill, but the Irish unionists supported the measure and the O'Brienites took no part in the division.
 The minority showed a sprinkling of liberal members, the most notable being John Burns, the former cabinet member. A number of labor members also voted with the opposition

Dardanelles Commander Tells Why Operations Did
 Not Accomplish Object
MEN WERE UNTRIED
 AND OFFICERS GREEN
Report Is One of Most Important Con- tributions to the History of the War. Deals in Detail With Suvla Bay
 and Anzac Cove Disasters

London, January s.-Gen. Ian Hamil- toms report on the British operations on the Gallipoli peninsula was published in the Official Gazette tonight It tells the story of the fighting on the peninsula from the beginning of May to the middle of October.
 Probably no more important contribu- ton to the history of the present war ha s yet been made. The report throws light or the great landing at Anzac cove and Suvla bay August T. which has been the subject of strong attacks upon the mill itary administration of the government. the whole operations requiring the com bined action of the army and navy
 The handling of the masses of troops within limited area probably was the most complicated ever undertaken and military rnen are not surprised that some important details failed to work out as planned.
 WATER GAVE OUT
 The Slvla bay landing failed to accom- plish it's object, the report shows, partly because the force consisted largely of urtried troops under generals inexperi- creed in the new warfare and partly through the failure of the water supply. The sufferings of the troops for lack of water make painful reading. General Hamilton bestows the highest possible praise upon the bravery of the men. He believes that after the middle of August the Turks outnumbered the l British and had plenty of fresh soldiers and munitions. while the British govern ment was unable to furnish him with the endorsements he wanted
 The general strongly opposed the aban-
 donment of any of the bases held by the British troops
 General Hamiltons report, submitted tc Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, carries the story of the Dardanelles operations up to | mid October, when he relinquished hi: command Concerning his retirement I General Hamilton reports:
 1 ''On the 11th of October your lordshiI | cabled, asking me for ar estimate of thu l losses which would be involved in the !! evacuation of the peninsula. I replied il | terms showing that such a step was tt me unthinkabe On the 16th of Octobe, l received cable recalling me to London 1 for the reason. as l was informed by | your lordship on my arrival. that his majesty's government desired fresh, un biased opinion from responsible com mander upon the question of early evac

DUBLIN, Feb. 26-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-There was never so much money in Ireland as there is at present. The general pros perity of the country was the theme of the speeches of the chairmen of all the leading banks which have just held their semi-annual meetings. The banks all maintained their dividends. they all showed increased profits and applied these securities to wiping out the prepreciation which occurred be- fore the war on the securities they feld The securities have now mostly been written down to their present market values, though many of them in war loans are repayable at par at periods.

SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POIS0NS
 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It,
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid- clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent it's sponge-like pores from clog ging with indigestihle material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says noted physician.
 If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, fur red tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin. Muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the damned up body waste. bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous salivating chemical. which can only be used occasionally, be- cause it accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones.
 Every man or woman, sick or well, should drink each morning before breakfast. a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indigestible mater ial, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh ening the entire alimentary canal be- fore putting more food into the stom- ach
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calomel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you 9 quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimu- lates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day out Adv.
