-OndOn Correspondent Tells of Dee
Regret in Death of General Com
mender. — Interesting Stories .o
Veteran Chief.
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-

feeling el ng of personal affection, for in

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.

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."
Insofar as the organization of the
()Mario peel is concerned it is min-
eecding slowly, and it is expected it
tvllJ continue to proceed in this mail-
