experts are inclined to laugh and sneer. Few think it is worth while discussing all. Others say it is simply presumptuous. Cecil Rhodes is all very well in his place, but is not competent to critic's: military opera- tions. Lord Methuen, they say, may have made mistakes or may not. That } does not give Mr. Rhodes the right to say that the military project to take all the people out of Kimberley and back to the Orange River was scandalous, monstrcus and a disgrace to England. |

Military men pass over Mr. Rhodes’ | tirade against the plans for the relief of Kimberley as the outburst of a dis- appointed man, who xpected the sritish would have a walk-over,or he would not have allowed himself to be shut up in the town. Of course, many others besides Rhodes had much the same idea. The military expert of the Westminster Gazette sums up an answer to Rhodes’ argument in these werds :--‘* When Mr. Rhodes can ren- der soldiers bullet proof and imper- vious to hunger, fatigue and disease, then the British and other generals may not find it necessary to plan re- treats.

Mr. Rhodes has not reputation by allowing b ings to get into print in thus fiercely criticising what he affirms was Britain’s military plans.” A leading subject was the despatches published in the/ Government Gazette dealing with Gat- acre’s and Methuen’s defeats. With the light now thrown on the engage- ment at Magersfontein, lL ord Methuen, who seems from his des; atch to have blamed some of his officers for not carrying out his orders, 1s blamed by military men for his methods in attack- ing the Boers. The Magersfortein operation involved as one element of success a night attack, but night attacks are used for two purposes, to surprise the enemy or to cross ground exposed o the enemy’s fire with as little loss as possible. Methuen mace some sort of preparation to advance by shelling the enemy’s position fur only two hours. To attempt an attack in the darkness while the Boers were on the alert was courting a disaster, aS was only too well proved.

SONG OF EMPIRE.

Mr. W. E. Henley appears to have written the most popular war song yet called out in England by the Boer war. It was published originally in The Sphere, has been set to music and is being sung everywhere. Canada and the other colonies are in the song and will be interested in it. When the music arrives we shall probably hear everybody singing “Storm Along, John!”

Storm along, John! Though you fal- tered at first, Caught in an ambush, and held to the

worst,

All the old counties were hard on the spot,

For they hadn’t a son but rejoiced in his lot.

You had only to cart ’em some thous-

: ands of miles; So you fell to your work with the

calmest of smiles,

And each with her battles, your ships you sent on,

Ti! you beggared the record—Hi ! Storm along John!

Storm along, John! ‘There was work to be done,

With a foe in full blast ere you sighted a gun!

Came, the news came, that you ree'ed in the brunt,

And at home, by the Lord, it was “ Who’s for the front?”

And your whelps overseas, John—the

whelps that you knew

For the native, original, pattern true blue—

O, your whelps wanted blooding, they cried to come on,

And—Hark to them chorusing: “ Storm along, John!”

Storm along, John! Storm along, John !

Half the world’s yours, and the rest may look on,

ROBERTS FOOLED BOERS.

A Boer commandant, one of Cronje’s men, who fell into the hands of Lords Roberts and Kitchener, spoke freely with a London new-paper correspond- ent of the calculauons of the Boer leaders as to the British plan of cam- paign. In the f

HOW THE

first place they were convinced that the British would be unable to follow any other line of ad- vance than that afforded by the rail- way. Three lines were obvious to them—-namely, the railway which en- ters the ‘Transvaal from Natal at Charlestown, that through the Free State by Springfontein and Bloemfon- tein, and the Kimberley-Mafeking route. The concensus of opinion was that the British reason for making strenuous efforts to relieve Kimberley was to secure the Kimberley-Mafeking line, whence an advance into the heart of the Transvaal from the railway would have been easy. Gen. Cronje refused to believe it possible for the British to make a long march off the railway, and therefore totally miscon- ceived the object of Lord Roberts’ strategic movement, which he imagined merety indicated a change of direction in the attack on Magersfontein by way of Jacobsdal.

SWITZERLAND'S REPLY.

The federal council has answered the Boer appeal for mediation as follows : “The Swiss federal council would have been pleased to co-operate in friendly mediation in order to end further bloodshed, but as the presidents of both South African republics have directly apprcached the British govern- ment in order to conclude peace on a basis indicated and the British govern- ment has shown itself against the pro- posal, and as, furthermore, the British

YSPEPSIA

Throws all the Blame on the Stomach—The Real Seat of Trouble is the Intestines— The Permanent Cure is Dr. Chase’s Kidney -Liver Pills.

It is an old idea long since exploded that digestion is confined to the stomach, No modern scientist denies that by far the ter

of digestion and the more di t part takes place in the intestines. This explains why dyspepsia is never really cured by pre-

tions which merely aid stomach digestion and act only on the’stomach.

This fact also explains why Dr. Chase's Kid-

-Liver Pills have been so remarkably suc- cessful as a cure for the worst forms of dyspep- sia and indigestion. :

Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills act directly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and give new tone and vigor to the intestines, and make them able to perform their work of digesting

the substances on which the stomach has no

effect.

Stomach treatment may do well enough for slight indigestion, but if you have chronic im digestion or dyspepsia of a sericus nature you can profit by the experience of scores of thou- sands who have been permanent cured by using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. One

LYDDITE VS. ‘HELL-SCRAPERS.’

Boer prisoners state that they could not have believed that England could send so many soldiers against them. Whenever one was killed there was an- other to take his place, whereas the Boers had no reserves, except civil ser- vants, and all the men who had been on furlough were now back with the army, In answer toa question as to the effects of our lyddi:e shells, my in- formant said they were good for burn- ing, but were of no effect for purposes of war. The Boers, however, were afraid of the shrapnel, which they cal- led ‘“‘hell-scrapers.” They did not mind the lyddite so much, because the smoke gave ther time to take cover, and though the fumes were stupefying,

they got over that by taking a spoonful of vinegar.

pscovene? NERVOUS AMET DISEASES

In his study of diseases of the nerves, Dr. A. W. Chase found that in nearly every case the cause of trouble was improper nourish- ment. About one-fifth of all the blood in the human body is found in the brain, and unless this blood is rich and pure the nerves cannot obtain proper nourishment, and become wora out and exiausted.

Nervous depression, nervous headache, — dyspepsia, loss of te and vital force,

It was asa food for blood and nerves thst Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food was prepared. Its remarkable success in curing all diseases arising from thin blood and impoverished nerves is proof that Dr. Chase's theory of feed- ing the nerves and blood is the proper one; stimulants only arge on the tired and worn out nervous system until there comes a complete collapse,
