II[[U'AR Jeweler and Optician , Senior Officers Who Have Returned made all their arrangements on the basis of the pay they were receiving. Then their units were broken up; they became surplus officers, and superflu- ous, There was probably not a man among them but from one source or another was encouraged to expect em- ployment at his rank either in England or in France. But nothing came of it, and they had to revert to the rank and ,pay of lieutenants or return to Canada. Some were •not wanted as' lieutenants because of their age; souse were willing to revert if they could be assured t'bat they' would be sent to France and not kept on in England swelling the force of the idle who were coming in for cen- sure; some others could not meet the 'financial obligations they had assumed on the reduced pay offered Whem as lieutenants. Many of these men are not free to make public statements as to their ex- ;periences. They !lave, in some cases, .received pretty rate treatment, greatly at variance with the consideration shown others. But. after ail,,,at the final show -down, many of the officers who, finding that they were not to be used in the war, came home and got back into civilian clothes and resumed business activities, will cut a much bet- , ter figure than others who are remain- 'leg abroad during the war as uniformed office -holders, filling nomieai posts and giving no value for the pay and allow- ances they draw. The system was a lad one all through, grew worse as it -vas prolonged, and efforts to reform it have never been sufficiently persisted in. But the defence of the s'erplus of - dicers who came home and got back into civilian work—which so many have sensibly done—rather than flour - :Isla idly in England, will be made in due dime. PERSONAL EXPLANATION Headquarters, 14th Canadian infantry Brigade Witley, Surrey, 30th April, 1917 Major R. S. Hays, 161st Canadian Infantry Battalion With regard to the question of the :severance of your connections with the 161st Canadian Infantry Battalion it may be state,d for your information that in reaching this decision the amain ,that factor was your age. This alonewould militate very strongly .against the possibility of your remain- ing with Ike Battalion in France for any length of time, and you will un- .derstand how difficult it Is for an offi- eer of your years, not only to adapt yourself steadily to the ever changing .conditions of general service in France but also to withstand the hardships Which this service must of n necessity entail, In severing your connections with your old Battalion you will fully ap- preciate the fact that in doing so you are staking way for a man younger in years and stronger in physique and you Will at the same time carry with you tine personal satisfaction of know - ting hat the work you have performed in onnection with the raising of the Battalion and bringing it to England in as niuch appreciated by the military authorities as by the people of the County in -which your Battalion was raised, A, li, SWIFT Brigadier -General Commanding 14th Canadian Infantry Brigade I did everything that was possible to get permission to accompany our Men to France and when 1 could not get that permission, I declined to ac- cept any appointment in England for I did not consider that my services were required there, as there are hun- dreds of officers in England Who Are Without appointments and who ate an» echos for same, - With When the full facts are known w reference to the treatment meted out to the officers and N, C, O,'s in tine tin Division, 5 includ- ing the 160th (Bruce) and 161e1 (Her- on) Battalion, 1 inn confident that the people of the Counties of Bruce and Jeuree will strorogfy resent salol.

The pain and suffering, the weakness and oftentimes collapse associated with an attack of diarrhoea, especially when 'violent vomiting occurs, make it a disease to be dreaded, and for which prompt re- lief and a ready cure are greatly to be deede 1. The salutary action of Dr. howler's Extract of Wild Strawberry in giving almost instant relief from the pain, checking the toe frequent and irritating stools, settling the stomach and bracing up the weakened heart, render it without a peer for the treatment of all bowel complaints of young or old, Mr. Janis G.
