His Military Record.
'Not a .breath has ever sullied. his
private character, and his military
record is of the highest merit. An
excellent horseman and a fine polo,
player when he rides among his
troops, accompanied always by two or
three aides-de-camp and an escort of
17th Lancers, the regiment that he
formerly commanded, he looks a cav-
alry leader as well as a commander-
in-chief, He does not despise the
panoply of war—and he is right. The
army admires a gallant appearance in
its leader. But it is as a staff of -
floe; learned in the history of war, ac.
complished in all its manifold exer-
cises, that Sir Douglas Haig stands
almost alone among contemporary
soldiers. He has studied his profes-
sion deeply. He has put aside all
competing interests. He has resist-
ed all temptations to divert his atten-
tion to other pursuits or to pleasure.
By day he has for years labored at the
detail of war, and by night he has
dreamed of it. So far the battle of
the Somme is the fulfilment of his
dreams and the outcome of his labors.
A master of detail, no detail has ;
been left unconsidered. Method, de-
vision, and perseverance are his mots !
d'ordre. They are being exemplified
on the plateau between Posieres and
Longueval. The German general
staff have met their match in Sir .
Douglas Haig. In the growing con-
fidence of his troops, in the loyalty of
his army commanders, in the clear-
ness of his own vision, and in his
Scottish tenacity lie the hopes of vic-
tory, Itis admiration for and faith
in the armies of France are the bonds
that tie together the allied efforts on
the Somme, which can only have one
result the utter defeat of the eoinman
enemy. With General Joffre' the
British coml.lender is in close sym- !
pathy. He speaks the French lang-
uage with ease and distinction. He
remembers that his aucestors, the
Scottish Archers, served Louis XI, and
France, and he is proud as a Scots-
man to command the Imperial armies
of Britain to -day. No one recognizes
more clearly that in serving France
his troops are safeguarding the moral'
interests of the whole civilized world.
