Field Marshal Haig, in a public speech, sayw that an officer who won the WC., the D.8.0., and the M.C., is vainly'trudging the streets of London in search of work: { It is a sad thing that Marshal Haig could say this, but it fs a fine thing that he said it. He may communicate his own smypathy for unrequited sol- diers to others in high places; add shock employers and the puble into a faller sense of their duty to the men who saved British liberties.

He has done them a service, and his country, too, by insisting on 'their claims. We in Canada should listen to his words. We have ' the same problems and the same duties. ~ REV, JOSEPH W,.
