Over Charges Made by
Sir Sam Hughes
Claims That Officers Commanding
Dominion's Forces ~ France Need
'essIy Sacrificed Lives Of Men in
Order to Advance Themselves

Toronto Mar all Canada has
been stirred by charges made m the
House of Commons by Sir Sam
Hughes. former minister of militia
that officers commanding the Do
min.ons forces in France had need :
lessiy sacrificed the lives of their
men in order to advance themselves.
Although his allegations were as
sumed to refer to Sir Arthur Currie.
commander chief of the Canadian
forces. there is apparent tonight a
strong inclination in many quarters
to disagree with him. Soldiers who
served overseas have already taken
up the cudgels in support Of Cen.
Currle.
Sir Sam opened his attack with the
announcement that he had protested
several times 10 Premier Borden
against the waste of Canadian boys
lives in unnecessary stunts en- the
battlefield" He then read a letter he
had sent to Sir Robert protesting
against what ne termed needless
slaughter at Cambria and stating
that ne ndu Drawn attention OIL the
prime minister on previous occasions
to the ''masSacres at Lens. PasSchc-
daele, etc. where the only apparent
object was to glorify the general in
command and make it impossible.
through butcherv. to have a fifth and
sixth division and two army corps.
He declared that any general who
would undertake the attack at Cam :
brai by suburban or street fighting
should be court -martialled. The sa me
was true of the officer who had Or
dered The storming OF Mons four
hours before the signing OF the arm
istIce. This he characterized as a bit
OF theatrical display which had cost
The lives of many fine Canadian boys
who could all be spared.
Some of the papers hint that Sir
Sans attack was inspired by cha :
grin at the failure of his son. Cen
Garnet Hughes. TO get TO France as
the commander of a fifth brigade of
Canadians. but all are unanimous in
their assertion that the charges call
for an immediate and thorough IN
vestiSat.on. Gen. Currie was an APP
pointee of Sir sans when he was
minister OF militia.
