Flase War Telegrams.

CORRESPONDENTS AND P.)Lni3S

The following report of the procaedlngs in the British House of -Commons on June 10 h is from tha Daily News : —

Mr Dillon—l wi«h toatk the Sjcretary for War a question o? which 1 have given him privato no'ice-n m4y, whether, in view of the outrageously false telegrams from South Afric* recantly s nfc through Beuter's and other agencies, and of the absolute dearth for a lona period "f any detailed or reliable news cf ihe war and tho military situation in Sou h AMj*. ho will undertake to allow oorreef ondents to go to iho front without referance to the polliio9 of the journals they represent— (ohfcers)—and whether he wll! see that the cen^or^hip.is aaed for the future only f>r military otj cts, and not for tha purpose of keeping the public in the dark aa to ihe actuation.

Mr Weir—May I ask whether, in view of Lord Kitchener's denials of the alleged defeat of Beyers' Commando, the right hon- gentleman will state how that tele- i gram aanae to be passed by the Censor, I and whab afceps he proposes to takf> to prevent correspondents at the seafc of war from dispatching false information ; and* will correspondents be deprived of their special privileges when they ase shown to hay c-mmunieated Mcc reports respect-

tig operations in the field ? Mi Broik^ick Lord Kitchener ia con siderine the circumstances under which nils incorrect teJegrams complained of having recently boen sent. I will under take that all snch cases are suitably deafr with. I must point oat that the Censor Sb not reßpt nwible for the accuracy of the telegrams th%b pass through hia hands. bat ho is responsible thab nothing; shall be telegraphed to this country that is likely to give informatien to the enemy. With regard to the general dearth of information, as to which the hon. member asks, there has been no withholding of Information from the Hoase. It is obvious th*t tl,e reports of the General are neces' BRri'y enn-maries of the events that have taken place, arsd those summaries have been duly published. Hn. gentlemen, I am sure, vd'l rralise that it ts impossible lo allow a cpaes of correspocdents to accompany the troops from newspapers of all descriptions. Ha can only allow a certain number. Mr Dillon—Will the right hon. gentle* man undertake to allow correspondents to go to the fro it Irrespective of the poll' ties of the jiarnals they represent? Ib bo happens that all' tne correspondents at the front do represent joamala support* ing the Government. (Ministerial cries ■of" No.") Mr Brodriek—l have no knowledg® of the politics of journals represented by cor respondents at tho front. The matter retts entirely with Lord Kitchener, who, I believe, h in complete ignorance of the politics of all journals. (Opposition laughter.) Mr Weir -SeeiDg that the Secretary for War hssbeen given a specific case in which false information has been sent to the newspaper, will he take action against the oorreßpondent who has fathered these falsehoods upon the country 1 [Bear, hear ] . Mr Brodrick—l have not yeb heard anything of the explar.a uiun of the corres* pond en t t and I have told the House that Lora it<toho» w win deal suitably with any such case.

M-jop Rasch—Will the right hon. gentleman coriaider the advisability of prosecating the propagators of false news at homo, Kufch as Mr Stead and others, particularly in connection wish the letter stated to have been sent by Liautemnt Morriso'- 1 [Minliterial cheers.]

Mr Brodrck - I stated to (.ha House a day or two ago tint all these false reports s^re highly diprcrecH'alle to thoso who |*übiish them [Ministerial cheers ]

Mr F N Blfick, Peter St, this town, «iys .—• Years »go I wrenched ray back, lifting; a bag of wheat, and I've had pains at the bottom of the spine ever since. These pains were pretty severe on occasions; When shearing I would feel them terribly, and I got that way that I could not do that kind of work. From the back the pains went down my legs and 1 sufFersd a good deal in that way. I was often trying different sorts of medicine with out much BQCceae. Three months ago J noticed that Dean's Backache Kid ney Pills were being advertised, and as these pilla were recommended for bickache I got a enpply iifc the Ash bnrton Drag Go's in East Btreet. 1 am very glad/1 did bo as they gave me splendid ease of the pains &Dd %les,of the sciatica I did not contiotia u&htg.

DEAR Sir, ~ For the last twelve months I have been completely run down, suffering from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my srx. My condition was such I was quite unable co gsfc about, or to do anything at; all. When I heard of the great bencfib other sufferers had derived from tha use of PiANTBKoA. I procured a bottle/using it as directed, and the result was as gratifying as it was astonishing. I became quite well again, and able to get; about as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours tru'y, Mus J. Row; P.S. — I can also recommend Plantekoa as a good medicine for tho blood and strengthening the system JKaiwam, February 21st 1901 Dear Sir, —-Several months ago I had a very severe attack of kflaenas which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wriats and ankles were much swollen, and very painful. Several things I tried without effect. A friend advised me to give Plantekoa a trial, which I did, and I am hapj»y to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughlycured, and I im»y say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal' ing; but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effectwaa wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it is the very best and safest remedy, and is one of those thing mo home is complete without. Yours sincerely, Mes Wainright The Proprietor of Plantekoa Remedies receives fresh testimony every day from sufferers who have been cured by their use. For chilblains and chapped hands use the mighty healer, Plantekoa Oint ment.
