DENIES FRICTION
between HALO
and HOME FORCE

London, Nov. 28.-In the House Of
Lords tonight the Earl of Derby, I'M
der secretary for war, set at rest ru-
mors in circulation that there was
friction between Gen. Sir Douglas
Haig. the British commander in chief
in France. and the home authorities.
Abiding to Lieut.. Gen. Sir Frederick
Clayton's REIMBURSEMENT of the post
of inspector general of the lines of
communication in France the Earl of
Derby said there was no connection
between his retirement and the ap-
pointment of Sir Eric Caddes to SUI
perintend all questions of railway
docks and inland transportation, leav-
ing to the administration the rest of
the lines of communication as here
tofore. The secretary of war, said the
Earl of Derby, in order to satisfy him.
self Of the adequate means for the
transport of the ever increasing
amount of ammunition to the front
sent Sir Eric with Gen. Haig's consent
to investigate the matter. General
Haig was greatly impressed with Sir
Eric's report and requested that he be
appointed to carry out his own sug-
gestions. The rumor that he had been
imposed on Gen. Haig was absolutely
false. the Earl of Derby said, adding
the army council had the greatest
confidence in General Haig and did its
utmost to fall in line with all his sug-
gestions.
