SOLDIERS AND STRIKĖS.
EARL HAIG'S OPPOSITION TO ARMED FORCE,
Maj-General Sir F. Maurice, writes to a Homs paper:-
Writing on the first day of the střike I said that the military authorities were determined that there should be na nnecessaTY display of military power, and that any soldiers whom it might be necessary to employ un trans- port services and food supply would be unarmed.
Mr. Thomas's tribute to the wisdom and moderation of the authorities in this shows that in wie respect at least no attempt | was made de bring matters to extremes, He said he did not know to whom credit WAN due. It was very largely due to Earl Haig, who insisted from the first that no attempt should be made to cverawe the railwaymen by an exhibition of armed force. and he was throughout the strike in close consultation with the
Home Office.
The soldier is often supposed to be ready to use the ride and bayonet at the smallest provoca- tion, but we may hope that the public will appreciate the fact that there is nothing which the regular more cordially detests than strike duty, or any inter- ference with civil disturbances.
saw
Military force was ready if it were required, which. most for tunately, it was not. The public for themselves military guards at most of the great London termini, but they were kept within the stations and out of contact with the strikers, and the same thing was taking place all over the country. It is of course necessary, when civil dis turbance is possible for the Gov- ernment to take precautions, and to be ready to protect life and property. Hitherto in the course creat strikes they have always led on the military to supplement the police force of the country.
The present Chief Commission. er of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Nevil Macready, made a namie for himself before the war by di tactful handling of a very deliest situation in the great coal strik in South Wales, when hy was called upon measures for the nosetio of the mines.
This is, at best, a risky and In unsatisfactory proceeding. cases of civil disturbance it is always necessary to delegate responsibility and authority and a simple injudicious use of either the letting of a single rifle may, when feeling is running high, lead to disastrous consequences. All soldiers will therefore. I am sure. welcome the idea of forming a National Guard for the purpose of supplementing the police force in case of emergency.
It is in every way better that when the police need help it should be found for them in the form of unarmed civilian organis- ation under civil-control, and that military force should be kept back for use only in extreme need: Therefore though the immediate need for a Civil Guard has pass- ed; it is a wise measure to pro- ceed at least with the preparations for such an organisation.
If the Army in being has been in the background during the strike, the ex-Army has been very much to the fore. The ex-officer and the silver-badge man, have evidence everywhere been in trying to help the public out of their difficulties. The wits have been amusing themselves during the past week over the manners and customs of the voluntary helpers, and much good-humoured chaff has been flying round. I can answer for it that the great majority of these helpers were not Dukes and millionaires, but ex-soldiers, many of them in great anxiety as to their futures and in urgent need of regular employ-
ment.
The organization with which I am particularly connected-the Ex-Services Association, of 34. Grosvenor-place-undertook the organisation of labour for the care of the horses at many of the great London termini, and it had offers of help from all sorts and conditions of ex-Service men, and the railways have agreed that the work was very efficiently done without any feeling of ani- | mus against the railwaysmen, of whom very large numbers are out.comrades of the great war, but, to help to keep going the essential services of the com- munity.
Now, one wood turn desarves another. Before the strike.took place the number of ex-Service men out of employment ran into six figures, and the number of ex-officers out employment into Five. The King just before the strike took place made a great appeal to employers to End places for disabled men. The disabled must, of course, have first atten-

The Govern- ment, as the largest employer of labour, must set the example, and only in very exceptional cases should a man under 40 years of age be in Gwernment employ but all emplorers who can help who has a served in the war, should help.

He admitted having stolen twenty-five other motor-cycles and with having been concerned in fourteen cases of chequé frauds.
TROOPSHIP ROBBERIES. An adjutant on a troopship told the Liverpool magistrate that he had tried for four years to capture thieves who had prered on soldiers on board. He said he had never experienced such a perfect system of thieving as by members of the crews of these vessels. Returning home from Russia on the Czaritza £250 had been stolen from scl- diers. Eighteen revolvers and a number of other articles also had been taken. Introst cases, he said, the money was stolen from trop while they were asleep. The jard
was that it » ditera whose revolvers were mlesing would have to replace them at their own just. Thomas. Stetett, a steward on the Czaritza, was sentenced to one month's Imprisonment for receiving a re- volver of which a soldier had been robbed.

"HOW I TOOK LIEGE."" General Ludendorf's closing reference in his "Mémories,” as to "staking his manhood at Liege." takes us back to the earliest pages of his book and the earliest days of the war. It was during the Liege week that Ludendorff came to the front.
He was then in co-opera- tion with Generals von Bulow and Emmich, and the latter, he says, ordered him to enter the town of Liege! A few lines from page 3 of the book will give Ludendorff's version of how Liege fell. Thinking that Colonel von Oven was in possession of the citadel, I went there with the Brigade Adjutant in a Belgian car which I had commandeered. When I arrived no German soldier was to be seen, and the citadel was still in the bands of the Enemy! I banged on the gates, which were locked. They were opened from the inside. The few hundred Belgiens who were there surrendered at my summons!"
