HAIG'S DIARIES MAY BE PUBLISHED Field Marshal Left Matter to Discretion of Trustees London, Feb. 17.--The late Field-Marshal Earl Haig's war diaries and other papers may be published at the discretion of his trustees, it was disclosed in the will of the British Commander in France in the Great War, which was made available at the Register House at Edinburgh Tuesday night. The baring of this provision of the will also disposes of reports that the diaries would be deposit- ed in the British Museum, where they were to remain sealed for a period of years, and brings into sight the prospect that the papers may be published at an early date. The will says on this point: "I have written certain diaries in connection with the recent Great War, I hereby authorize my trustees to publish the same and any other writings or papers I may leave at such time or times, and on such terms and conditions as they in their uncontrolled discretion may think fit; and until such publication the diaries and other papers shall remain in the custody of my wife." The trustees are the Countess Haig, Colonel Commandant B. D. Fisher, of the cavalry brigade at Tidworth, and Major Rugod Du- pree, commandant of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, Earl Haig during his lifetime preserved a stern reticence while the war events in which he was a leading figure were being heat- edly discussed, so that it may be inferred that his private diaries are of outstanding interest. The Field-Marshal in a codicil in his will, which is mainly of a personal character making provisions for his wife and heir and other chil- dren, expresses a wish to be buried at Bemersyde, Scotland, where he was interred, SE ---------- BODY THOUGHT TO BE THAT v OF TRANSPACIFIC FLIER 'entura, Cal, Feb, 16.--Th body of a man believed to be re of the missing trans-Pacific Dole fliers, was washed ashore near here today.

All financial matters were under his direction. It was written of him that "Mr. Ogden's statements grew in bulk and value and meaning. He was precise to a cent, He was methodical to the smallest numeral. He was a model for accuracy and precision and clarity study of the financial conditions in the United States and the Dominion. In the sweep of his financial regard he included the whole world." Mr. Ogden's life story, when it is written, will be well worthy of be- ing termed an epic, for it will em- brace, among many other matters, the entire story of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada's greatest commercial enterprise, from its be- inning down to the present time. @ was born when railroading on this continent was in its infancy.

He heard the ox of a country which knew that unt! it was bound together by steel rails it could not be a nation. He helped the Canadian Pacific, which was to carry out that high task, through its early difficulties, saw it flung across the Dominion from ocean to ocean assisted it in its great work of filling the empty spaces of the West with prosperous settlers and, mount. ing steadily with it up the ladder of success, was able at last to look upon it in the hour of its triumph, when it had grown into the mighty organization it is today.

It is because he had these quali. ties, as much as it is because of the work he accomplished for the Com pany, that the Canadian Pacific will miss Mr. Ogden. In the great shops at Calgary which bear his name he has his monument. But perhaps his finest monument, next to the esteem of his fellow-members of the huge Canadian Pacific family, is the super-efficient auditing and ae- counting eystem which he created and exp FRANCE RAISES TARIFF ON OILS Bill Sponsoring Domestic Refining Industry Paris, Feb. 17.---The bill in creasing. three of four times the tariffs on crude and refined pet roleum imported by France was ber of Deputies Tuesday after the shortest debate of the present ses only two deputies had anything to say about the measure. The The measure is the foundation of the new oil policy of the gov- ernment--sponsoring domestic re- fining in anticipation of the day when France will have its own oil supply. The only criticism to the bill was not rigid enough to in- spire the industries to open the refineries immediately, While the measure radically boosts oil tar- itfs, it also is designed to keep the consumption price steady by allowing reductions of internal pri ces so the ultimate cost to the consumer will remain the same. The duty on crude oils was and that on gasoline and refined products to 40 francs per liter. Practically all oil consumed in France now is imported, Large American and Dritish firms say refining ficld in this country if the new wells in Mesopotamia are de- veloped sufficiently to give France a supply of crude oil, At present, they are satisfied with the bill which represents efforts by the Government to foster the industry without giving. way for a demand for Government monopoly. DAILY EXPRESS Attempt to Secure Damages London, Feb. 17.--A libel suit ended Tuesday afternoon when a verdict was awarded to The Daily Express in action brought against the newspaper by Frederick Mit- chell Hedges, British explorer and exponent of the gospel of "'He- men." Shortly after considerable pubn- licity had been given his views on the de~adence of British youth, Hed~cs was "held up" 2 momh ago in an automobile on the Lon- don Po tsmouth road. He told police that he had with him docu- ments of immense value and four shrunken and mummified human heads. Later it was stated that the al- leged holdup was a joke played by gome young men who wished to proye that they were not so de- cadent as Hedges thought, and soon afterwards The Express pub- lished an article saying that the whole incident was a prearranged publicity stunt. When Hedges brought suit denying he had had apy. connection with the stunt, the newspaper pleaded justification. The argument of the case before Lord Chief Justice Hewart and a special jury occupied several days, and was reported at great length. In his summing up the justice mentioned the grotesqueness of the position by which anyone could pay $5 or so to join such societies and add letters after his name. "You may think that the defendant's counsel did not put the case too high when the papers said Hedges was an impostor," the court told the jury, and added that if the jury saw fit to give the plaintiff a verdict "there's = Chamber of Deputies Passes || passed unanimously by the Cham- | sion.
