Il Nevil Macready, the new military

purpose That purpose is to have his
own way. He gets it. His career is
dotted with inleXibility and his dom

obstacles.
When. as a colonel. he went down
to Tonypandy and soothed the raging
hearts Of the striking miners, they
found him genial, kindly. easy
spoken man with a vocabulary that
they understood and liked. Also they
found that here was no mere military
dandy who had come down to plead
with them in dLlcet tones. They found
instead that behind his amiable talk
was a determination TO put an end 70
strife, and that he would not hesitate
to use all the powers at his command
TO end It And he did. Wherefore he
became known as the strikebreaker
Of TOnypandy." with this strange fact
added thereto. namely. that the men
who had rioted bore the riotsmasher

Not Scared by Arms.
For instance. one Of the leaders

the leader. Come round with your

answer. So some Of the men came
