During the jnight the enemy’s fire could not have been formidable, and it would not | have taken more than two or three | hours for Thornycroft to communicate | by messenger with Major General Coke

Warren. Coke appears to have left Spion Kop at 9.30 p. m. for the pur- pose of consulting with Warren. Up {to that hour the idea of withdrawal had not been entertained. Yet, almost immediately after Coke's departure, ‘Thernycroft issued the order, without reference to superior authority, which upset the whole plan of operations and rendered unavailing the sacrifices already made to carry it into effect. It is to be regretted that Warren did not himself visit Spion Kop in the afternoon or evening, knowing as he did, that the state of affarirs was very critical and that the loss of position would involve the failure of the operations. I be- lieve Buller was justified in remarking : ‘There was a want of organizatien and system which acted most unfavorably on the defence.’ The attempt to relieve Ladysmith was well devised, and I agree with Buller in thinking it ought tc have succeeded. That it failed may in some measure have been due to the difficulties of the ground and the com- manding positions held by the enemy and probably also to errors of judgment and want of administrative But whatever faults Warren may have com- mitted, the failure must also be attrib- uted to the disinclination of the off- cer in supreme command to assert his authority and see what he thought best was done, and also to the unwarrant- able and needless assumption of re- sponsibility by a subordinate officer.”

The despatch conclues : “The grat- ifying feature of these despatches is the admirable behaviour of the troops throughout the operation. General Buller’s report commenting on Gener- al Warren’s reports of the capture and evacuation of Spion Kop, after disput- ing the correctness of one of Warren's assertions and describing the danger- ous situation occupied by Warren’s force, tells that he saw the force of Spion Kop had given away before Warren knew of it. Buller therefore telegraphed to Warren: ‘Unless put a really good, hard fighting min in command on top you will lose the ill. I suggest Thornycroft.’ General Buller continues: ‘I have not thought it necessary to order an investigation. If at sundown the defence of the sutn- mit had been taken in hand, entrench- ments laid out and the dead and wounded -removed, the whole place would have been brought under mili- tary commands and the hills would have been held, I am But no arrangements were made.

THE BRITONS’ PLEDGE.

Lord Ernest Hamilton contributes this to the Pall Mall Gazette under the title, “A Pledge” :

“Canada, Australia, we stock of a Nor- thern land

Are stiff, and reserved, and _ proud, and the words that we speak are few ; 2

But we look you straight in the face, and we griped your outstretched hand,

And God deal so with us, as we deal in your need, with you.”

SENDING WORDS TO KRUGER.,

As a result of a subscription among school children and messenger boys in New York and Philadelphia, enough money was raised to send a delegate to South Africa. The New York Com- mercial Advertiser says :

“At last the Pro-Boer gatherings in this country have produced something substantial and worthy of the cause. A great congress was held at Philadel- phia recently, and as a result of it a district messenger boy has been seat to South Africa to tell president Kruger that many of the school children in Philadelphia believe he is fighting for the right.”

In view of the traditions of the come munity regarding messenger boys, sev- eral questions of moment arise. 1. Will the messenger boy ever get to Pretoria? It is a long way, and there are many way stations to play marbles

r craps at. 2. Supposing tho messen-

ver boy does get |’iciuria, will he get

Dr CHASE

DISCOVERED pscovERD RERWOUS TREATNENT DISEASES

FOR

In his study of diseases of the nerves, Dr. A. W. Chase found that in pearly 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 unles? this blood is rich and pure the nerves cannot obtain proper nourishment, and become worn out and exhausted.

Nervous depression, nervous headache, nervous dyspepsia, loss of sleep and vital force, lack of energy, are symptoms of weak, watery blood and exhausted nerves.

It was asa food for blood and nerves that

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 urge on the tired and worn out nervous system until there comes a complete collapse.

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food creates new brain and nerve ceiis, and makes the blood pure and rich. It restores to the exhausted nerves the vigor of perfect health. _ soc. a large box, at alldealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co.. Toronto.

And is Being Permanentiy Cured Laily by Clarke’s Kola Com- pound, Here is What a Hamil- ton Lady Says:—

Mrs. Gilbert, 105 Rebecca street, Ham- liton, writes :--‘* i suffered from a bad form

of zsthma for over nine yeers, and, not- withstanding all the doctors could do for me, got worse and worse, so that my neighbours locked for my death at any time. I spent money lavishly in the ef- furts to get relief, but all to no pur-

pose. For six weeks at a time I could not get up or down stairs, and was in a miserable condition. My ddughter, who cierks in a drug store, had heard a good deal of Clarke’s Kola Compcund, and urg- ed me to try it as a last resort. I paid $2 for a bottle, but that is nothing, for it is worth more than that for every tea- spoonful. Two doses gave me splendid relief, and after using but one bottle [ am a marvel to all who know me. I am do- ing my own work, can get around as well as ever, and feel like a new creature. Clarke's Kela Compound has been a God- send to me, and I look. upon it as a mar- vellous remedy. You may use this testi- mony as you see fit, and I shall be glad to give further particalars to anyone en- quiring. I gratefully endorse Clarke’s Kola Compound.”
