NEW STORM RAGING
SWIFT REPLY TO
CHARGES
FAMOUS war-time and military chiefs
have rallied to defend the reputation. of Earl Haig, the British Army's G.O,C.
To the charges made by Mr. Lloyd George in his fifth and final volume of war memoirs just published, they make 'swift reply.
Mr. Lloyd George's assertions that Halg refused to make proper preparations against attack, that his 1918 strategy was based on "demonstrably false premises," that he was anjust to Gough, and that he ensouraged favouritism are, they state, "contemptible,” and "a lie."
Below are the printed replies of such notable great war 414 Lord Trenchard, General Sir J. F. Noel Birch, Major-General Sir John II. Davidson, and Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice.

To this altack Lord Trenchard, Sir Noel Birch, and Sir John H. Davidson have made a joint reply which they authprised for publication in the Sunday Chronicle.
"Mr. Lloyd George anys Lord IInig appointed Sir Herbert Lawrence as Chief of Staff and implies that this appointment WAS Roverned by made t The appointment was the instance of Sir William Robert- son and railed by the War Onec.
"Later Mr. Lloyd George implies that General Gough was badly treated by Lord aig in that he was not given adequate reserves, and that he was subsequently sent to a back area as a failure.
"Offeial history records the true facts General Gough was recalled by orders from home. Lord Haig strongly protested against this.
The distribution of reserves depended on the fact that the Fifth Army alone hand room to full back. The other armies had no such free- dom owing to the proximity of vital lateral communications and the sex. "We are fortunate," the stale. ment ends. "In having men like Lord Haig.

ENCOURAGING SCOTS TO STAY ABROAD
AFT
FTER two years of experiment it has become possible to can the ordinary English loaf, brown or white. In cylindrical tins about 9in. long it costs a little more than the ordinary loaf,.
Its chief use is likely to be as an emer- gency ration. It will be possible always to have a loaf of fresh bread in the house, for it keeps in the can indefinitely.
The problem to be overcome in canning the
bread was to prevent mould and enabled the bread to retain its original properties.
This, it is claimed, has been achieved, but it is better to leave the bread for half an hour after opening the can so that it may take up moisture from the atmosphere. It will then be fresher than when the can was opened,
