LONDONGR
ITS LEADERS IN
WAR ON GERMANS
Hangs Out Flags in Honor of
Field Marshal and
Generals

London, Dec. 19.-London hung
out it's flags and the seaport of Dover
flung its gates wide open to-day to
greet Field Marshal Haig and the
commanders of the five British
armies which fought in Belgium
and France-Generals Plumer, RAW
linson, Birdwood, Byng and Horne.
1t was merely an informal Wei
come by London, but Dover made or
it great celebration. The news that
the field marshal was coming nome
to spend Christmas with his family
at Kingston, became public and his
fellow countrymen would not be de-
MED a chance to see and cheer the
leader of thir armies. The real cele-
bration in London comes late In
January or early in February.
To Become a Peer
The field marshal will then, ac-
cording to time-honored precedents,
be raised to a high rank in the peer
age, and given a money grant by
Parliament for his services to the
nation. This is the procedure which
has been followed from the days of
Wellington and Nelson down to
Kitchener and Roberts.
The welcome given the home
coming generals to-day was similar
to that given Marshal Foch and
Premier Clemenceau of France and
Premier Orlando, of Italy, a little
over a week ago but there was less
display. Premier Lloyd George, the
Duke of Connaught, members of the
cabinet, generals and lesser func-
tionaires from the war office, made
up the receiving party at Charing
Cross station. After first greetings,
the civilian officials disappeared
from the scene and the small pro-
cession proceeded through the prin-
cipal streets to Buckingham palace
where King George entertained Field
Marshal Haig at luncheon.
Airplanes escorted Field Marshal
Haig's ship across the channel and
followed his train to London.
Holiday at Dover
All business places at Dover were
closed and a holiday was declared.
Admiral Keyes. commander of the
port; all the naval and military Of
ficers oS the city, the mayor, mem
bers of the Dover city council and
Lord Beauchamp, warden of the
Cinque ports, received the returning
commanders After Field Marshal
Haig had been. presented an illumi-
mated address by the mayor, the
generals proceeded to the station
beneath rows of triumphal arches.
