COL. sEE,LY.

Col the Rt Hon. John Edward
Bernard Seely, former British Secre
tary of War and later staff officer
in France, was born fifty years ago
today, May 81, 1868 HIS is the
son of Sir Charles Seely, of Brooke
House, Isle of Wight. Col Seely was
educated for the legal profession, and
began his military career in South
Africa, where he served with the I'm
perial Yoemanry, winning the D. S. o.
and the Queens medal. In 1900 he
entered Parliament from the Isle of
der secretary for the colonies Later
he entered the Asquith cabinet as
minister for war, but resigned as
result of the Ulster trouble. Col.
Seely was co-signer with Field Mar
shall Sir John French and General Sir
John Ewart of the assurance to Brig.
Gen. Cough that the troops in Ireland
would not be used to suppress the
Ulster opposition to home rule. The
publication of this letter brought down
upon the War Secretary a storm of
disapproval, and his resignation i'm
mediately followed Gen. Cough is
the commander who has just been re-.
moved from active service in France.
1t was his Fifth Army which broke
under the German onslaughts during
the offensive last March, and caused
the retirement of considerable part
of the British line. Col Seely was
among the first to offer his services
at the outbreak of the war, and he
was not slow in demonstrating that he
was much better soldier than
politician.

simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc,
as mixed in Adler-i-ka, flushes the
entire bowel tract so completely that
appendicitis is prevented. One spoon
full Adler-i-ka relieves any case sour
stomach, gas or constipation because
it removes all foul matter which
clogged and poisoned your system.

tors and patients. Alexander Drug

THE FLAG

Last year it was our heritage, the
red and white and blue.
Our grandsires died to raise it and
our sires to keep it true.
We proved we might be worthy Of
our memory as we cast
In shimmering beauty to the winds
the banner Of the past.
But now, 0 God, our hearts are with
our living and our dead!
Bone of our bone the white has grown,
flesh of our flesh the red.
Our substance and our souls are
pledged to keep it undefiled-
Last year it was our heritage today
it is our child.
