int1 the matter, and waste a perfect

experience / know that it is q human
weakness, in a moment Of sentimental
and saffron-hued regret, to tie oneseif
up so tight in an ironbound and Ill
considered New Years resolution
that 1t takes frequently till January Is
to separate oneself from it, and it can
be done then only with considerable
mental anguish and badly lacerated
conscience.
l have on hand now a varied and
general job-lot assortment of shop
worn, good resolutions adopted unani'
mously by the committee on resolu-
lions at its annual meeting sometime
between the 25th and 31st of Deem

been used long at a time. They are
not frayed on the edges or wabbly in

field MARSHAL
FRENCH RETIRES
GEN. SIR DOUGLAS HAiG HAS
BEEN APPOINTED HIS
SUCCESSOR.

London.-Field Marshal Sir John
French, who, at his own request, has
been relieved OF the command OF the
British forces in France and Flanders,
has been succeeded by Gen. Sir Doug
las Haig. Since the landing OF tne
expeditionary force, Sir Douglas Haig
has commanded the first army, and
has been repeatedly mentioned in dis
patches by his chief.
Sir John French becomes COM
mander-in-chief of the armies In the
United Kingdom, and for his 16
months service at the front has been
created viscount of the United King
dom.
Sir Douglas Haig is nine years
younger than his former chief and won
his spurs as a cavalry officer. His
first commission was in the Seventh
Hussars. He saw service in the Sou
dan, Indian and African wars. he
was chief staff officer to Sir John
French during the Colesburg opera
lions when the British cavalry had
difficult task in trying to round up
the Boer commanders. Later he was
given command of a group OF columns,
and after the South African war was
made inspector general Of cavalry In
India
After a rev years of staff duty In
England he became chief Of staff in
India, and at the outbreak OF the war
was general commanding officer at
AldershoL. From there he took the
first army to France.
That there might be a change in the
supreme British command on the
Western front had been limited fol
some time. These hints increased
with the recent appointment of Gen
eral Joffre as commander in chief oil
the French army.
That the elevation of General Jof
fire had no bearing on the substitution
of General Haig for Field Marshal
French was announced by Premier As
quith. Sir Edward Andrew Cornwall
asked the government for information
as to whether General Joffre's ap
pointment would necessitate any i'm
portant changes in the nigher com
mands of the British force.

BELIEVED EXPEDITION WILL RE.
SUIT IN GETTING MEN OUT
OF TRENCHES SOON.
ADOPT FORMAL RESOLUTIONS
Samuel Mcclure Of New York Says
American Preparedness Was Nee
essary and Was Not Related
to Peace Efforts.

Christiania, Norway.-"Every nation
in the world will look upon the Amer
lean peace pilgrims as taking the in
itiative in stopping history's worst
war. The landing of the peace expe-
dition in Europe will be recorded as
one of the most benevolent things the
American republic ever did" said
Henry Ford to the Associated Press
representative on Norwegian soil.
The steamship Oscar H.. carrying
the Ford peace party, arrived after a
fourteen days voyage. Delegates ex-
pressed displeasure because the YES
sci was delayed three days by the
British at Kirkwall.
Mr.. Ford says he is confident the
expedition would result in getting the
men out of the trenches before the
winter is over. He declared he had in
formation from official sources that
his peace plan was looked upon ap-
provingly. He added that his motive
in coming to Europe is to develop an
understanding throughout the world
by the time peace sessions are begun
at The Hague.
After holding meetings while cross
ing the Atlantic and disagreeing over
the question of American prepared
ness policy, the $50 peace advocates
were anxious to learn what attitude
would be adopted toward them by
Europe.

call made by Albert G.. Schmedeman.

Christiania newspapers publish long
accounts regarding the Ford expedi.

cartoons from foreign newspapers.
Just before the Oscar ii reached
Christiania the Ford guests held a
meeting aboard the ship. Samuel Nc.
Clure of New York said that unless
the peace pilgrims composed their
differences of opinion regarding Pres
ident Wilson's preparedness policy II
would cause disaster to the expedition
He declared American preparedness
was necessary and not related to the
peace efforts.
The Rev. Charles F. Aked of Sar
Francisco maintained it is ridiculous
for Americans to urge peace abroad
while preparing for war at home.
Finally resolution declaring the
delegates unanimous for European
peace was adopted.
