Jbarlottetown Friday, expects to rc :eive the command of a second Brig ide of Siege Artillery, consisting of .bree batteries. one from Prince Ed- vard Island. one from New Brunswick

gud Nova Scotia, and one from Que cc.

Col. Peake went ovor to England in

:onnnand of the Second Siege Battery n November. having been preceded by lieut.-Col. Cole, in command of thc First Siege l”lattcry. On arriving at _Horsham these two batteries were re- xamcd the 98th and 97th respectively. _nd subsequently the authorities dc- :ided to add the 96th Battery and form 1 brigade. Both (lol. Peake and Col. Zola were applicants for the command L' the new brigade, Col. Peake being enior, so far as active Militia service vas concerned, (_"0|. Cole having been 'ourteen years on thc Reserve. The luthorltics decided, however. that it was not seniority in the Canadian Militia that counted. but seniority in _he overseas forces, ami Col. Cole. iavlng ilvc days’ seniority ln the Ex- >edltiouary Force, was entitled to pre- fernlcnl. Col. Peake consequently rc- lignnd in his favour and returned to Canada, whcrc, as stated, he will prob- ably in the ncar future receive the

:ommund of a. new brigade.

Col. Pcnko speaks in thc highest

terms of thc work bciug done by tba Prince ldtlwurd island battery at Hor- sham. Till- olllcere und men have worked exceedingly hard in gaining lil‘0fl0l0ll<1y and nro now considered he best siege battery in England. A gronl dcul of practical work had been :url-led out under. the inspection of thc Con1nmndun|_ or the Siege School :ll Lydd and other officers who had been al. the front. The work carried out was exactly what the battery would ie expected to do in France or Bel- gium and both ofilccrs and men re- ‘eived _the highest praise from the 'inspecting oihcors. All thc island afiiccrs. including Col. Peake, Major "rowsc. Capt. Temple MacDonald. '.leuts. Stems.
