new dispositions and
TO rally the men. HIS
excellent work in the
retreat from Mons
and at the Aisne and
Ypres has been re-
peatcdly mentioned in
Frcnch's dispatches.
That first campaign
of the British army
had TO do with the
oldtimc open fighting
which they had prac-
tised in Iadia, in
South Africa and in
Egypt-the kind OF
fighting that both
generals and minor
officers knew. Over
severe critics TO the
contrary. it is prob
able chat no other
small body of troops
or the Western front
would have done any
better.
But after the grand
assault Of the Prus-
sian Guard on the
18th Of November, the
period of trench war
fare set in-the kind
of fighting which no
one knew very well,
and least OF ali the
British, vino had never
possessed 4 really
valuable General Staff
to work OUT the thee
retical problems of
war. Moreover. the
losses had been so
great that the old pro-
fcssional army, which
held the left OF the
lire in the retreat to
Paris and w h ic h
locked the present line
at Ypres, aim o st
ceased to exist. Now.
tn e typical British
common soldier was a
civilian recruited since
the beginning of the
war, and the typical
British officer a brave,
intelligent young fell
low not yet educated
because there had
been as yet no time
in the finer points of
command. And since
that time, as the world
knows, the British
have merely held,
punctuating t h cir
holding by a few dis
asters.

CREATES QUIET CONFIDENCE.

One OF Frenchs great powers is his mag
netism. He makes himself liked by his fellows.
The crisis is never too great for him 20 chat
a little by way OF relieving his mind. Face TO
face with men, he usually persuades them. An
American ambulance surgeon was working IN
the public square OF Ypres just when the line
broke on that critical day of October 81. AS
he bent over the dying the remnants of Brit
ish battalion came streaming in. They were
beaten. and showed it. The major in command
was trying to rally them. He was actually
weeping with his disgrace, but he could not
hold them. Just then French came up in his
motor car and took in the situation. He
stopped, rose up and made speech. Il sup
pose il wasn't much of speech said the sur
geon to me, but in three minutes he had them
turned the other way about and charging back
to the line" Haig, possibly, couldn't have
done that; but he has nevertheless quiet mag
netism which creates confidence and which
makes him generally liked.
He NAV be the Grant the British are looking
fer. and he may be only Hooker or a Burn
side Only the event will tell. But he looks
like the logical choice for the job, which calls
for man Of iron who is also scholar in mill
itary theory. No one in our times ever had
such task passed to him. More than the War
Office at home, he must Organize victory
He must put team work into an army which
has not yet learned to work together, Differed
by men who are only in process OF learning
their profession in the hard school of explo-
sive shells and poison gas. Finally, he must
work out the tactics, as yet undiscovered
which will solve this trench warfare, in most
respects without precedent in the world.

the intimate councils
of this secret and hid
den war can either APP
prove or criticise the
choice. 1t lay between
two men vino have
done great work as
suborcinates, but who
have been untried in
high command; and it
is. like all changes for
the present in the
British army, largely
an experiment. IT.
the present condition
of affairs Joffre and
the French General
Staff must have in
dorsed Haig's ap-
pointment.
And, other things
being equal, the fact
that Haig was OF arts
tocratic origin and
Robertson of humble
birth may have turned
the scale. This is not
said in criticism of the
British, either. The
class system still lives
among them; they be-
lieve in the governing
class; and w nile
strong for legal de-
mocracy, all classes
rather distrust social
democracy. They like
10 be led by q gentle
nan. One of Haig's
class will always find
himself better fol-
lowed by the English
than one of Robert
sons class. This pc
Rod of a desperate
fight for an empire is
no time for the Brit
ish to stop and con-
slider minor social re-
forms.
From the first gun
of the retreat from
Mons Haig has made
good in every capa-
city intrusted to him.
BY quick and clever
maneuvring he extri-
Gated his corps at lie

gerous pinch in the
retreat. He led the

the French military
critics. The shift of

IMPROVEMENT or GRADES
BETTER STOCK CAMPAIGN
Live Stock to Receive Material Inn
petus Through the South.

Pursuing its we'll known policy OF
encouraging and fostering live stock
husbandry in communities served by
it, the Nashville, Chattanooga, d st.
Louis Railway, through the Industrial,
Agricultural and immigration Division
of its Traffic Department, has arranged
with the four largest national breeders
organizations, namely: The American
Hereford Cattle Breeders Association,
American Short Horn Breeders Asso-
citation. the American Aberdeen-Angus
Breeders Association and the Holstein-
Friesian Association OF America, to con-
tribute registered animals to number
of auction sales to be held along the
company's lines during the year. The
sales will be conducted under the aus
pices of the local or county live stock
association, the national breeders asso-
Citations cooperating. The county asso-
Citations were organized throughout the
territory served by the railway several
years ago under the encouragement and
corporation Of the officers of the rail-
way company, and through the activl-
ties of the Agricultural Department OF
the company, together with the valuable
aid and encouragement OF the Agricul-
tural Departments of the several States
involved. More than $500 head OF
registered breeding stock have already
been distributed along the company's
lines through the local associations.
The first sale of this series will be
held at Huntsville, Ala, July 20, at
which eighty-five head of Hereford cat
tie and Berkshire hogs will be sold.
The consignments will be made by the
American Hereford Cattle Breeders AS
ISOLATION and prominent Tennessee and
Alabama Berkshire breeders. Negotia-
tions are in progress for sales in other
communities along the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis Railway, and the
immediate future promises bright and
interesting prospects for improved live
stock production in the Southern States
traversed by the company's lines.
The Agricultural Department of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Rail
way, conducted under the immediate
direction of Mr.. L. p Bellah, General
Agent of the Department, is earnestly
supported by Vice President H, F. Smith
and other officers and agents of the COM
pany, all of whom recognize the SUI
perior natural conditions in the terri
tory served by the railway for profitable
agricultural and live stock farming, and
in many practical ways are encouraging
the introduction into the farming Sec
tions of high grade breeding stock and
the adoption of more intelligent and
profitable methods of agriculture.
