[THOM OUR OWN 'CORRISPONDENT.]

LONDON, August 25th. The newspapers in general are somewhat critical in their references to the career of Lord Haldane who has died suddenly a few days after celebrating his 2nd birthday. But when all is said, it must be ad- mitted that he filled a considerable place in the political and intel. lectual life of his time. He will

He also developed the Expedi tionary Force, the Old Con- temptibles" of the Great War, and he reorganised the General Staff during the time he was Secretary of State for War, 1905-12. This is something of a record apart from bis work as Lord Chancellor, and as one of the great forces for the improvement of our educational methods.

And yet, as success is, reckoned in the opinion of the world. Lord Haldane was a comparative failure. He never made a popular figure in public life.

What he meant was that be had a great admiration for German philosophy and thorough- ness; but in the public mind Lord Haldane became identified with friendship for the Germans. Dar- ing the war he was nerer permitted to forget it, though the unfortunate phrase was used long before the war broke out.
