The Weekly Nation which may be

Colonel Seely with great bitterness.
II declares that when he left the
tnionist ranks he took his old mental
furniture with him and never really
became Liberal. IL adds that IL was
great mistake TO put him into the
war office.
The nation suggests that a man of
harder muscle-like John Burns, pres
ident OF the local government board.
or Walter Runciman. president of the
board OF agriculture-is needed to
cope with the present situation in the
army. The newspaper declares that
