Mr. Lloyd George's assertions that Haig refused to make proper preparations agninst attack, that his 1918 strategy was based on "demonstrably false premises," that he was unjust to Gough, and that he ensouraged favouritism are, they state, "contemptible, and "n lic."

"Mr. Lloyd George says Lord Haig Appointed Sir Herbert Lawrence as Chief of Staff and implies that this appointment WAS

wor memoirs contains.

"Mr. Lloyd George makes a num-` ber of grave charges, such, for example, as that Field-Marshut Str W. Robertson and I had traitorously disclosed to
