oftLose who have given their lives for their country.
 Premier Lloyd-George in moving the resolution, said that even if he har leisure in these terrible times, especi- ally the anxiety of the last two or three days, he felt he could not do justice to this great theme The deeds mention ed in the resolution were known toI 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 has been the anchor of the allied cause. If it lost its hold, the hopes of the alliance would be shattered.
 Navy Saves Allies.
 The premier told how the navy had given support to the army abroad and material which had enabled the allies to get from abroad, adding:
 "uBt for the very 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 il- legitimate naval warfare, despit black piracy, the navy has preserved the highways of the seas for Britain and her allies.
 hn4 rin of "a Ua Q navy has ensured the safe transporta- tion to the British and allied armies of thirteen million men, two million horses, twenty-five million tons of ex- plosives and supplies and 51 million tons of coal and oil The losses of men out of the thirty million men was only $500 of whicb only 2,7OO were lost through the action of the enemy. Altogether 13O,OO0,O00 tons have been transported by British shops."
 Too Early To Summarize.
 It was too early to summarize the effect of the blockade. by the British navy which would be complete, de- clared the premier, if it had not let the gate to the Balkans unlocked. It was not the fault of the grand fleet if it had not had many opportunities; that was due to the enemy's knowledge of its eff ficacy. Since the battle of Jutland the Germans had never seen fit to chal- lenge 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 dang CTS were barely realized; yet the fruits of their action were enjoyed by the people of these islands.
 The British Tommy.
 The British expeditionary force, con tainued MT. Lloyd-eGorge, now num- bered more than three million. It was 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 man of that army was left.
 The time had not come to deal with individual achievements, but he must refer to Field Marshals French and Haig and General Maude Of Haig, one of the most brilliant members of the general staff he said:
 Splendid as the ft thting qualities of the troops have beert the success has been due in large measure to the pow CT of organization, the persistence and forethought of Haig"
 CoIonials Praised.
 Seventy-five per cent of the contribu- tion in men, said the premier, had come from England, and 75 per cent of the loss had fallen upon England. Scotland had 0one it's share; Ireland had made distinguished contribution and in voluntary recruiting Wales had beaten the record by shade. The dominions had contributed between 100000 and SO0.O00 men. He praised the work of the Canadians on the west ern front and the South Africans, par ticularly in clearing Delville wood.
 Empire Is A Fact.
 Never has the British empire SnOWH BTtdltT OE uiOIt cneC-lNC UT ion," exclaimed the premier. "It had been regarded as a dream it is now fact, powerful fact, in fashioning the history of the world | After references to the various aux Hilary services, the premier offered the sympathy to the relatives of those who 1 had fallen.
 Ex-Premier Asquith, who followed, paid eloquent tribute to the fighting forces.
 John Redmond, the Irish leader, said his object in rising was to emphasize that what the premier and Mir. Asquith had said was the absolute unanimous sentiment of the house of commons. The Irish troops, he said. had shed a lustre upon their race and however torn by dissension or misfortune, theil country might be at this moment, ht believed that the whole Iris hrace to
