GEN. FRENCH DIES
AT DEAL, ENGLAND

Deal, England-The death here of
the earl of Ypres, who, as Field Mar
shall French, was a British World war
figure, came at time when his great
reputation was somewhat under a
cloud and while controversy ragged
over his military strategy in France.
The earl, who was seventy-three years
old, had been i'll since March 10, when
he underwent an operation for appen-
dicitis in a private hospital in London.
The controversy concerning the earl
of Ypres has been before the British
public particularly since he published
his book on the war, entitled, "1S14,"
which contained much outspoken and
adverse criticism of his subordinates
and some French generals and which
did not except Lord Kitchener.
The earl of Ypres entered the Brit
lsh service as sailor, later gained
fame as cavalry leader and climaxed
his career by commanding the British
armies in war in which cavalry was
superseded by tanks, armored cars
and airplanes. He won fame, in the
Boer war as mastery cavalryman
who turned fiasco into victory for
the British army.
When he retired from the British
command in France he was made
viscount and after serving from 1918
II as lord lieutenant of Ireland the
earldom was conferred and Viscount
French took for his title the place Of
his most famous victory in the World
war, the village known as Ypres,
called ''Wypers" by the Canadians,
who took and lost and took the town
again. The earl suffered slight
wound in France.
