The news of Earl Haig's cleat! trine as a great shock to the country alid all cl r s r of the community ex pressed tlioi regret at this bleak r•ith the military history of Britain ie the war, Mtrr:m;es from all ore theEmpire indicate what an intens aaief it has been. Friends who saw l.or,l Hain; at the Roy Scouts' 1e- peetion at Richmond H9! on Satur- d,;y commented that he looked tired, I,ut he was in exceptionally good spirits on Sunday when seen in Hyde Park, Lard IIacig's health had given him and his medical adviser: anxiety far some time, and he was to have seen his doctor again the week of his death to know if he might travel to the Riviera for a rest. Sir Douglas Haig had hold his command longer than any other commander -iii -chief in the. Great War and his self-aibnc- l;ntion in placing himself under Foch 1. stated by I-Iindenburg to have been tit most decisive factor in the allies' victory. For his '.erviees he was 111ile Earl Haig of Bernersyde, dec- orated with the Order of Merit and awarded a grant of 1:100,000. But he declined to receive these award., until he was satisfied that the officers and Men who had fought under him were to be fairly treated. In two ways may we best judge of Itis greatness as a man. First, in that wonderful appeal which was wrung :from him in. the days of deeper, de- pression, when the enemy had :matey reached Amiens, and then launched, a few days later, an attack upon the tiled troops which had been sent to another part of the front to rest af- ter their ordeal: "With our backs to thci wall, and` believing in the. justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end." The second indication of his character lay in his devotion, from the end of the war until the day of his death, to the in- terests of the coldiers, seaman and airmen who fought in the Great War, and to the dependents of the fallen, An Unfamiliar Figure, Except on great public occasions, and when he was wearing uniform, Earl Haig Could walk about the streets of London with perfect cer- tainty that he would be inconspiciu- qus, 9'or all that he was photograph • - ecl so march his never was a figure that proclaimed itself in mufti, and when one encountered hhn at public funeitions his 'personality never asserted itself as did the personalit- ies of Lord Roberts or Lord Kitch- ener. Even when he was sitting on a platform at a meeting people would asst, "Who is that well-groom- ed, quiet -looking man?" so little did his high military rank assert itself in peaceful'surroundings, 1 -le did not court publicity, and few men holding as great position have pro- 'sided less material ,for the gossip that serves as an advertisement -- even gossip of an agreeable cll mac - tor. p Soldiers twiny are recalling how - little they saw of the "C-in-C" dur- E fur': the war, but he never shirked ' 1 he ' neeessity of being about when there wa8 difficult work on hand• 1 The mere tnewledgei that he was f near stimulated and braced thou- .. sands, The troops could IIIVC 210 feeling el ng of personal affection, for in i Iii„ war commanders -in -chief and r even corp; commanders were only e vagivi. and distant figures, but he never' failed to carry their complete Iceniid1•nce...-no 24111;111 t1.1111120 to kris eicie ncy as a military leader. By little things the armies learn - 'cd that: though he required much of them, he was net Unmindful of the smafler thing shat meant very much to them, Soon after he became cam- mauder-in-chief he hesrd of discon- tint about leave, Many men in France had cause to complain that their leave was long overdue. Haig did not call his ;.ides-de-cmnp into conference. He talked to n sergeant about it, and so obtained at first- hand knowledge of how things stood. The difficulty at the moment was a shortage of shipping. Haig told the ser'g'eant frankly that he was press- ing the Government for more leave ships. Before long he got them. This is but one of many examples 11- ustrating his real concern to do hisbestfor his comrades -in -arms. The work he has done to assist ex -service men sf1Ce- the war is in itself a stu- pendous achievement. It had 1101 real foundation in the, very human interest he took in than while they were under his command, 1 "His Old Comrades" The year oft this death marks the 10th anniversary of that year when Lord iIai bgegan his invaluable work en behalf of those broken in the Great War, 71r did not wait until peace cause to begin his efforts in, the cause of those whom he loved to call "his old comrades." Even so earsy as 1917, when the position of the British armies 011 the Western front must have been of the gravest concern to him, the thought. was con- stantly in the field marshal's tninrl that the interests of those who had returned to England unfit, through wounds or illness, for further ser- vice, must be safeguarded and he has labored unceasingly during near- ly 10- years of peace to this end. His first step toward the Materialization, of this ever -constant thought was the formation, under his leadership, Of the Officers' Association, which, • with other associations having kind- red objects formed on behalf of other ranks, performed wonderful work for those ex -service men Who came back to find life not nearly so kind to them as it was before they went out. In 1921 it became clear to Lord Haig that the various assoc- iatiens, . each having more or less similar objects, might very much more usefully study the interests of ex -service men generally, if they could be combined to form one largo national organization. This amalga- illatiott duly took place in the emu - Mer of 1921, the resulting body be- ing known as the 13ritislt Lelgon---an THE BRUSSELS POST "r1111nieation described 111 11920 by the Prime of Wales as "one of 0111' t^rcatc t orgatliratiuns for doing good." In the same year that .eifev tl:c formation of the British Legion under the presidency of Lord Haig it became ' vident that funds must be raised if the necessary amount • air 1111111111 work was to be t'ar'ried out on behalf of ex -service filen, and the field marshal threw himself heart and soul into raisin!, funds by means of the sale of Flanders poppies, The first collection, made on November 11, 1921, resulted In a total of £1O0 000 and the response was increased yc'arly until, including 1927, Lord 1 IHaig's Remembrance Day appeal has produced approximately £2,239,000. Haig Under Fire. Haig until r fir's was t.ro.'c^al of the hardened regular. Ile took no notice of shells and bullets, This WAS not because he possessed no sense of fear or did not appreciate the danger, The discipline of year's enabled him to hide his emotion. His soldier's life had given him a re- markable precision of movement, both mental and physical. He was frankly disappointed at the results first achieved in the Battle of the Somme and those nearest to him knew that, but for the critical strug- gle at Verdun, he might have thought it ?best to alter his plans. There were tines When his anxiety was so manifest that he personally went to the forward areas to ascer- tain .the 'position. He had many nar- row escapes. It is wrong to think that a commander-in-chief is always I21 a chair utiles bahind the lines, studying maps and issuing orders. No general commanding a division gave more thought and personal at- tention to the task of examining .front line than did Haig in those days prior to the big German at- tack of 1918. Hee knew the weak- ness of the line; he knew that the lien must be encouraged and the facts disclosed only to the Govern - neat, Deep Religious Convictions. Lord Haig's headquarters staff was run on rigid lines for there his clout. Scottish characteristics had full play. Isis own particular headquar- ters had a solemnity about them, plainly touched with religious con- viction, In this respect Lord Haig and Lord Roberts were not unlike. itis :faith was an outstanding in- fluence ill his life and by it he won through all diiculties. What he learned as a child he carrier} on to the battlefields of Flanders. o -- FMR PLAY 13 POOL • SECRET GROWERS GET BEST POSSIBLE RETURN FOR CROPS "Co-operation does not work mir- acles and it is foolish to expect that o'1' any association unless -it is consid- ered that giving the farmer fair play is of the nature of miracles," declar- ed C. Emerson Lanlbier, general mm neer of the sign-up campaign of the. Ontario -Co-operative Tobacco Poo}, Limited, In 11 discussion on co-opera- tive pool marketing. Porservance "Persistent co-operative market- ing will bring a better average, by raising the general price level and economic independence can eventual- ly be gained by perserverance in the co-operative marketing of tobacco and other farm products " said Mr, L;unbier, A ntn111hei' of growers throughout the tobacco belt of Southwestern On- tario have become imbued with the fact that the there signing of a pool contract would force the market val- t1e of tobacco skyward. This, Mr. Lanlbier pointed out, would not be the case. The pool through tate co- operative control of the enjoy per - ,tion of the: tobacco grown in Ontario would' have a powerful market wea- pon to wield over the heads of the buyers. On the other hand, it was pointed out, this weapon must be 000d with discretion and only to obtain a fair price for the tobacco which would in turn be for the grower, as the pool with the modern methods was a non- profit tasting organization. • Foolish Idea. "The height of folly," said 1Ir. Lambior, "is for tltc growers to enter into at marketing agreement with their neighbors and then sit clown and expect the money to start rolling into their laps, whether the agree- ment was lived up to or not. You 11an11ot plant tobacco and reap gold .nuggets, nor can the growers hope to get snore than an equitable price for their tobacco."
