SIR. DOUGLAS HAIG
FILLED MANY POSTS
Had a Brilliant Career at Military
College and Made Cavalry Tac-
tice a Special Study
Cameron 13rig in the Kingdom of
fife has been well acquainted with
the Haigs for many generation, and
it was there that Sir Douglas, Com-
mander of the First Artily Corps in
„the British Expeditionary Force, was
born in 1801. In clue time he went
to Clifton ane from there to Brase-
nose College, Oxford, but the army
was his love, He entered the Royal
Military College, and very early in
his career gave promise of what was
to come, for he passed first out of
Sandhurst, gaining the highly -prized
Anson Memorial Sword.
In 1881; Haig was gazetted to the
7th Hussars, and four years later was
lucky enough to get MI the Soudan.
Expedition, where Ile was present at
Atbara and Khartoum, in that cam-
paign he was mentioned in despatches,
as well as getting the Egyptian Medal.
Sir Douglas is believed to pe a very
scientific soldier, and has written a
book called "Cavalry Tactics." His
authorship gained for him the mama
of "Von Haig." He duly passed the
qualifying examination for entrance to
the Staff College and then had to go
before a medical board for fitness.
The board announced he was color
blind and although he got specialists
both in England and France to prove
that he was not color blind, the board
was obdurate. It seemed certain that
he would never be able to write
"P.S.C." after his name, when the
late Duke of Cambridge, hearing of
the matter, gave him the Gammen-
der-in-Chief's nomination, which ex.
empted the recipient from all examin-
ations: The situation was saved,
flaig went to the College and passed
out brilliantly.
On the outbreak of the South Afri-
can War, Captain Haig was appointed
staff officer to Sir John French, and
was at Elandslaagto, Colesburg, the
relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, and
after the cavalry division was broken
up, had command of all the different
columns in Cape Colony, The work
was tremendous; but apparently it
agreed with him, for the harder he
worked and the less he slept the fit-
ter he seemed to keep.
After the war he went to India as,
Inspector -general of cavalry. There
was much grumbling over the ap-
pointment. The India cavalry thought
he was much too young, and that he
knew "too little about India. They
•shortly acknowledged they were
wrong. Though he succeeded that
brilliant -cavalry soldier, Sir Edward
Locke -Elliott, Haig was a great sue -

THE COST IN HUMAN LIVES
More Men Killed in Modern Warfare
But Percentage Much Decreased
The toll—counted in human lives-
of the great struggle against German
militarism is going to be terribly
heavy, Mcdern warfare is conducted
by such greatly increased number:
that the casualty lists must neces
eerily be far higher than in bygone
(lays, but it is some consolation to
)tnow that the percentage of com-
batants who fall has decreased con-
siderably as compared with the battles
which were fought under more primi-
tive conditions.
Although the loss of 'over 2,000
killed and wounded sustained by the
British Expeditionary Force in its
first engagement with the Germans
was the largest in a single battle
since November 5th, 1854, when i.,357
British soldiers fell at Inkerman, • it
represented merely a percentage of be-
tween two and three per cent., for it is
certain that close upon 100,000 British
soldiers took part in the fighting,
But at Inkerman the British looses
were 31 per cent., as only 7,400 men
were engaged.
The highest British casualties In
any one day's fighting in the South
African War wero at Paardeberg,
where 1,262 men were lost out of•
15,000—a loss of 8 per cent. On the
the other hand, at Waterloo the ac-
tual British losses were 6,932, or 29
per cent.

HON. THOS. CHASE CASGRAIG
The appoint !cent of the Hon Thom -
es Chase Cuter/tin as Postmaster -Gen"
oral in the Borden Cabinet, succeedigg
Hon L P. Pelletier, is the recognition
ef a roan whose career has always been
characterized by wol thy ideals and a
!of ' y patriotism. In an interview giv-
en just aft -r his elevation to Cabinet
air Cosgrain stated: ''The safety and
-trength of the British Empire is, of
course, of paramount importance to
all Cana and this must be attend-
ed to t all c so,but we must look after
he interests of the Dominion as well."
Taus, in a few words, Hon. Mr. Cas -
grain expressed what is in the mind of
every thinking Canadian today—that
in doing one's duty to the Empire one
al -o dons it to Canada.
Hen. Mr, Casgrain is in himself a
.striking type t•f the French-Canadian
ace. He is by nature Eminently quali-
fied to fill a position of authority and
influence. He is determined in charac-
ter, but polite and painstaking in hie
desire to assist those who come in cu. -
tact with him. Ire his politicial career
he has always been known to be pos•
-essed of a remarkable quickness in
siznag up a sitnation. He was one of
the first of his race in the Province of
Quebec, in the election of 1911, to
t•ee that Quebec would be a heavy loser
by the censutndtion of the reciprocity
pact, and his influence had no small
weight in causing many in his native
province to think his•way. His speech-
es on that occasion, were marked by
lucidity, clearness of reasoning, and
sane logic.
The new Postmaster -General is no
no-viee in the arena of politics. Like
many other eminent Canadian states-
men, he began his career in the pro- (BY Rev. R. Thynne, M. A., Palmer-
vincial House where Mr. Casgrain re- ston) -
ceived his early training for the larger 4 -Apple -tree
school. His public life so far has been This is the tapuach of Solomon,
a lengthy one. He sat for years in the who, with the exception of Joel, is the

long E-nough to enmplr•te his work, yet As the npple.tree,+flaring the trees of
his it fluence remaiutsl after• him in
tit's reset ct.
Mr, Caegi ain has also bad a wide ex.
perieuce in the Federal political arena.
He was elected to the House of Com -
mom in 1890 and represented Mont.
morency until 1004. In Ottawa he was
sparked out for public attention be-
cause his natural ability gained it for
him, and it is no secret that lied he re-
tained his seat in 1008 and 1911 he
would have been included in the Bor-
den Cabinet when it was first formed.
Erowever, it is not too late, and his
inclusion will udd to Ilse present cab
inet a man who will be a force in the
political life of the country.
Hon, Mr. Casgrain is a Montrealer,
and in the. great Canadian metropolis
he has gained the respect and esteem
of all sections of the community. In
the legal profession, of which he is a
member, be has long been a leader,
and his advice and counsel are eagerly
sought by all.
The Postmaster -General will repre-
sent the county of Quetee, to which he
has long been attached by historic as-
sociations. When a much younger
man than he is today he carried that
constituency under trying circumstan-
ces. It had been represented by Hon.
Mr. Garneau, an old Conservative, who
opposed his party on the ground that
the Conser v etive party was out of
ranch with the so-called national as
oirations of the province. Honore
eier made a strong appeal to the
electorate to avenge the death of Louis
R,iel, and although the Government of
Hon.. Mr. Ross was defeated, Quebec
County returned x,-'01;ose Casgrain by
a good majority, He 'folrea!s•yrrdrir.
koown to praotially every man, wo-
man and child in Quebec' County.
10 appearance Mr. Casa,ain its of the
strerg virile type. fln suggests deter
mtnation and energy. He is eR.tble to
oleet, and has all the natural charm of
his race, It is related that one of the
first things which he did on his ret tun
to Moutreal after having been sworn
in as Postmaster -General was to pay
visits to his two old friends, Sir Au-
gust Real Angers and Hon, L, 0.
Taction, postmaster of Montreal, who
was the new minister's leader for seven
years, not only in opposition, but in
power, Both the ex -Lieutenant Gov-
enor and the ex -Prime Minister of the
province proudly congratulated their
for mer political pupil upon the confi-
dence placed in him by the Govenor-
General and Sir Robet t Borden.
The keynote of Mr. Oisgrain's life
has always been a passionate devotion
t, the Brits: -h constit ution and C o.vn.
In season and out of season he ha -
preached the doctrine of British great
nese and l:herty. Thus, in a time of
national atrees he has been promoted
t, a position of great influence, where
he can assist in the task of sending aid
to Biitain. lie is the right man in the
right place. In a recent speech he
stated: "No sacrifice is too great when
we are confronted on another contin-
eut with a situation which might spell
disaster to British arms • and or estige
and absolute ruin and disaster to Can-
ada.'
There is not and never has been any
doubt of where the new Postmaster
General has stood upon the question of
British connection. He has fleet, last
and all the time been a great Canadian
and his inclusion in the Borden Cabin-
et will be welcomed from one end of
the Dominion to the other by alt par-
ties, for he has the confidence of his
political foes, who have always seen
in him a manly and straightforward
fighter,

; jr".1i r+ ^ ,,Ayt, a word,
lacy epteser. eke resimite of gold in
pictures of silver." 'Tis seems also to
have been a tree large enough to afford
abundance of shelter under tee branch-
es,. Solomon, in the above passage
states as much ; "I Fat down under its
shadow with great delight," and a
little farther on be exclaims," Who is
this that cometh up from the wilder -
Ewes leaning upon her beloved ? I
raised thee up under the. apple -tree :
there my mother brought thee forth ;
there she brought thee forth that bare
thee." That the apple -tree of the
Scriptures was not a tree cultivated
exclueively in gardens or orchards
like the domestic species, is evident,
for Solomon calls it a "tree of the
woods," and Joe], a tree of the fields;
and he mentions it along with some
of the principal of them : "The vine
is dried. up, and the fig -tree lang
uisheth; .he pomegranate tree,the poem
tree also, even all the trees of the field
are withered," The fruit of this tree
must also have been peculiarly frag-
rant and was used as a restorative or
stimulant when sick or. faint. Thus
Solomon says, "Comfort me with
apples, for I am sick of love," Virgil,
in the second Eclogue, represents the
fruit of the apple -tree as covered with
"yellow down ; and in the eighth
Eclogue, he speaks of "golden apples,"
In these two instances the heathen
poet is supposed to allude to the at We
of Sydon or' Ps t us Sydonie. The
apples with whirls the same writer
represents Ualn,•en. as "pelting the
shepherd," the "apples of the Hes
perides" in the sixth Eclogue and also
in the second book of the Georgics are
generally attributed, with what
authority we shall presently see, to a
species of Citron, die -Citrus Medica of
botanlste. These are the two sorts of
apples principally alluded to in the.
writings of the ancients, and it is pos-
fihle that both are alluded to in Scrip-
ture.' The saps?le c f Sydon or quince,
it", in these north -cerci" t r .;nates, a low,
crooked, and distorted tree"- a al71",,:4,
with brown bark, and much branched;
in which tweet it agrees with the
deect•iption of Solomon ; and, as in
oriental countries, it grows to a con-
siderable slit", one may sit under its
branches with great delight." The
fruit islarge, yellow, very austere and
astringent, but with a peculiar and
very powerful fragrance. By cookery,
it is rendered mild and highly grate-
ful, and may be said to be "sweet to
the taste." In most modern versions
of the Scriptures, however, we have
Citron -tree mentioned in place of the
apple -tree of our version, and citron
instead of apple. The plant alluded to
is the Citrus Medica. The commen-
tator in the Piet, -net Bible, who seems
to have visi• ed the E'a,st says, "This
t.•ee grows t, afine 1ae:gesize," Others
describe it as ...Dieseling, in its wild
state, the height of eight feet, and as
growing erect with long reclining
branches. Millar mentions two sorts
of the citron,- one sweet, with a thick,
rough-rinded fruit,—the other sour,
with a- rough knobbed -ridded fruit.
The other varieties are the common
lemon, the sour lemon or lime. and the
clustered lemon. The citron is a native
of all the warm regions of Aeia. It
was introduced into Europe from
Media, and had the name of . Melee
Medica, Notwithstanding an opinion
sometimes entertained to the con-
trary, it does not appear that the
citron was known in Italy in the time
of Virgil. The tipple mentioned in the
Georgics was "engrafted upon a pear,'
which is not true of the citron, The
aper, however, will take upon the
quince by grafting or budding, and
the quince upon the pear, which shows
that there is a near alliance between
them ; but neither of these will take
upon the apple, nor that upon either
of these. The quince, therefore, was
undoubtedly the apple of Virgil and
probably also of the sacred writers.,
The editor of the Pictorial Bible ad-
vocates a different opinion, but, in this
respect, he is at variance with nearly
all who have gone before him. It"
our translation we ought, therefore, to
have quince instead of apple. .Tbis
tree is still abundant in Palestine ; but
there i.r scarcely a common apple -tree
iu the Bet worthy of the name, The
poma of Virgil applies to the comm,
apple, and is quite distinct from tber
Mala.
