DUNDONALD HITS
BACK AT CRITICS
FORMER COMMANDER OF MILITIA
OF CANADA, WHO WAS DIS
MISSED, MAKES CHARGES
AGAINST HIS SUPERlORS.

Toronto, June 1s.-Lord Dundonald, late
commander of the militia of Canada, who
was dismissed by the government for, IS
they term It. indiseretion and lnsubordi-
nation shown in a recent speech at Mon
treal today, in a statement given to the
press, hits back at his critics. He claims
that the militia has been grossly inter-
fered with by party politicians He al
legesj that important parts of his reports
for 1902 and 1903 were wrongfuly sup
pressed by the chief of military, contrary
to his wishes. He indeed charges Sir
Frederick Borden with falsehood in the
house of commons. lie shows that the
militia has been greatly neglected and
lacks all that is necessary to make it
efficient. The great northwest. he points
out, is left defenseless without even a
gun.
As regards preparation for war and
readiness to resist aggression, the people
Of Canada, Lord Dundonald says, are
living in a fools paradise If he had
made only official protest, he said, 1t
would have been pigeon-holed as many
others had been.

Mrs. Jessie Cotton.
Peruna cures all such cases of dyspep-
STA. simply because 1t cures catarrh
wherever located The reason so many
cases of dyspepsia suffer on and on with
out any relief trying this medicine and
that medicine, is that these conditions
are not recognized as eatarrh Of the
stomach.
Any one suffering from dyspepsia, hav-
ing tried the ordinary remedies without
relief, would be safe To assume that their
case is one of eatarrh Of the stomach,
and should at once begin course of Pc
runa. Peruna is sure to cure these cases.
1t never fails.

WILL DRAW INDUSTRIES

Ensley. June 1s.-(Special.) -Time has
proven that the test of the water supply
of McWilliams springs, instituted by the
board of trade is a success. The amount
of water now furnished by the springs
will afford sufficient supply for the rod
mills and several other prospective in
dustries.
Much of the credit for the success of
the undertaking is due to the untiring
efforts of Mayor Scott. The mayor, real
izing the necessity of securing cheap
water for the industries of the city, with
the cooperation of the board of trade,
went about to solve the problem. Several
plans were projected, but McWilliams
springs were settled upon as the solution
of the water problem. Very few people in
the city thought that the plan to get
any water from that source would prove
feasible The mayor and his colleagues
were undaunted by this and set to work
to secure funds with which to make the
test.
An engine and pump were procured
and set In place, and the test was begun.
The work had not progressed FAR before
1t was shown that the springs contained
a large supply of water
In few days the board of trade will
meet and make arrangements for laying
the pipes and connecting the springs with
the Industries.
The board of trade expects to renew ne
ROTATIONS with the promoters of the pros
pective Industries that are contemplating
coming to the Steel City, but have been
kept away by the lack of water.
