In acknowledging the honour he said that h- nad been reading Ludendorff's mem- oirsand one ¢f the things there that scruck him was the marked distress and hopelessness that had overconie the Ger- man Commander when he realized that the Lreat German Army had been broken to vicces. That was an experience which he, Haig, had never had to contemplate even though the mien he had command of had been almost hopelessly outnumbercd, the numbers reduced at their strengih tried by the strain of an unequal batile. Os those who had remained with him, each man had fought a man’s battle and nad fought the more desperaiely, the more desperate condi ions became. The gallaant story of the British campaien offered a moral which should be applied tn every corne. of the Empire at the present day. “"Preserve your confi- dence no. merely in yourselves but in each other and organize for success to the last detail.”’ Alluding to the recent railway strike, Field Marshal Haig said that he was glad that the soldiers had not been calied upon for it was not their job. They enlisted to fight external and not internal foes. London, Oect. 16th.
