"ARTHUR'S SKETCH.

"Lord Haig "which is the title of Sir George Arthur's sketch of Lord Haig's career, is slight, but it contains a certain amount of inside information, including facts which have never been printed before, and it comes opportunely. For in a few weeks the tenth anniversaries will be occurring of the great series of British victories which it is difficult to parallel, and in which Haig had so glorious a share. He was not a showy leader, yet we believe that posterity will place him very high for judgment, persistency and tin- finching courage.

Haig's insight stood his country in good stead time after time before he received the chief command. At Loos, though Haig was against the battle, success might have been, won if he had had strong reserves quick" ly available.

Sir John French thought, other wise, and not only retained his powerful reinforcement in his own hands, to be belatedly delivered to Sir Douglas in the early after. noon of the second day of the fight.

༔་

One Mighty Effort.

. It has been suggested that Haig quarrelled with the great French commander. That is not the case. With Pétain and Foch he was always on the best of terms. was he who said

His Will To Win."

Haig was almost alone in his firm conviction in the third week of August, 1018, that victory was zure and close at hand. His famous order calling on his troops to preys boldly on the enemy

was published at a moment when Foch and the French Government, the British Government and its military advisers in London were meditating conquest in 1919 (Sir G.

Mr. Herbert Smith followed: "I am standing for peace and fair play," he declared. "If I can get fair play for the men I represent I am prepared to meet the Devil never mind Hond" He accused Mr. Cook of spreading dissension.

.CYCLE'S RIVER DIVE,

GIRL RIDERS THROWN INTO

15FT. OF WATER. "

Two girls on a motor-cycle and side-car, failing to take a sharp corner in time, drove their machine into the Thames off the towing path at Shepperton.

The machine turned a somersault in the air, plunged into 18ft. of water 10ft. from the bank, and die- appeared from, view with a loud splash.

"People in small bouts and on the towing path rushed to the scene.. To their great surprise, the girls struggled to the surface.

Their names were given

Mias Lily and Miss Connie Chapman, of The Chestouts, a bungalow near. the river. Both are good dwim mers, but they only just got clear of their submerged machine. Mies Lily Chapman said she had one leg pinned under the machine.but gave a tremendous push with her free leg and got clear.

Except for slight cuts both the girls were uninjured.

They are Miss G. Caton Thomp son, and her assistant, Miss Gard- ner, who were sent out by, the in- stitute to Egypt to carry on some important excavations in the Nile valley. Chief among their finds were gypsum quarries, from which Senetru, the builder of the first pyramid at Meydum, obtained the material with which to make his pottery. It is calculated that Sene frt reigned from 4787 B.C. to 4777 B.C., almost 6,000 years ago,

Miss G. Caton Thompson also dis covered some important irrigation systems dating from the time of the Ptolemies (3rd century B.G.) She told a Daily Mail reporter:—
