FIELD MARSHAL FRENCH'S FAREWELL

December 19, 10.00 p.m. Field Marshal Viscount French, in his farewell on relinquish. ing the command of the British Army in France, says:

I wish to express to the oficere, non-commissioned officers sad men, with whom I have been so closely associated for the last sixteen mouth, my bes: tfelt sorrow at parting, before the campaige, in which we have been so long engaged together, has been brought to a victoricas conclusion. I have, however, the firmest conviction that such a glorious eading to the splendid and hercic efforts is Los far distant. I look towards the final goal with intense interest. Tas success so far attained has bat in the most confident hope.. been das to the indomitable spint and dogged teascity which kosas no defest and to the heroic courage so abondantly displayed by the rank and file of the splendid Army which it will ever romsia the price and glory of my life' to have commanded for over sixteen months of incessant fighting.

"The Regulars and the Territorials, the Old Army and the Now Army, continued the Field Marshal, have ever showa these magnificent qualities in an equal degree. At this sad moment of parting, my heart goes out to those who have received life-long it jury. I think with sorrow of this great and glorious host of beloved comrades who have made the greatest sacrifice, of laying down their lives for their country. le saying Good-bye to the British their live fine. I ask them once again to accept this expression of deepest gratitude and heartfelt devotion, and my earnest good wishes for a glorious fatare, which I feel is assuré-L”
