N%ORTHCL|FFE PAPERS
WANT RAIG REMOVED
Attacks on British Field Mar.
shall Are Largely of Politi-
cal Nature, Claim.
BY Reciprocal Press.

London, Jan. 29.-The attacks on Sir
Douglas Haig n the general staff
which are being made in press and
parliament must not be taken too seri-
ously. Advantage is being taken Of a
general public feeling that somebody's
reputation has been shielded by the
refusal to make known the details of
the inquiry into the Cambria reverses.
There is also q lot Of politics behind it.
Haig retains the confidence of the
government and the army, and the peo-
pie. That his ability has been called
into question at all is not due to his
actual work as commander in chief or
to the extraordinarily frank dispatches
in which he told the difficulties en-
countered by him in carrying out his
plans for the campaigns in 1917, but to
the agitation conducted against him by
the Northcliffe papers. apparently
under the impression thai Haig was to
be replaced and hat a campaign
against him would win credit for the
newspapers engaged in it. These were
the newspaper tactics employed in the
famous shell agitation of 1915. Appar-
emily something went wrong in the in
side information as to the govern
ment's intentions, some changes were
being made in Haig's staff, that was
all. But the Northcliffe press n sup
porters, having committed themselves
to h removal of Haig, seem to be
counting upon their influence on pub
lie opinion to undermine confidence in
him to such an extent hat he will have
to Go.

That They Have Agreement
As to Amount of Stock

Washington, d. c., Jan. 29.-Control
of prices and division of live stock our
chases throughout the United States SO
as to eliminate compention, were
charged to the five big meat packing
firms today by Francis J. Heney On the
basis of confidential letters and tele-
grams taken from the packers files and
read into the federal trade commits
sion's hearings on the packing in
dustry.
Preceding the introduction of docu-
mentary evidence today Senator
Thompson, of Kansas, appeared at his
own request to tell the commission that
references to him found in the files
were u~nfounded.
Mr.. Heney introduced records TO
show that the total purchases of live
stock by the five packers from 1913
to 1917 were apportioned by percent
ages. While the extent of individual
purchases varied in separate markets,
according to facilities OF plants at that
point, Mr.. Heney said the total pur-
chases always were made to conform
to an agreed percentage.
These percentages, he charged were
based in percentages of ownership
held by Armour, Swift n Morris in
the National Packing company, dis
solved by the federal courts in 1912,
continued, and extended so as to in
clude Wilson and Cudahy.
You can see what a skillful prose-
cutor might do with these figures"
