Sir DOUGLAS Haiq Is Dead

London-Earl Douglas Haig, COM
mander in chief of the British armies
in France and Belgium, is dead. He
was &c years old. The British gen.
eral whose name is linked with Mar
shall Foch of France and General
Pershing of the United States in the
victory over the Germans, died I'M
expectedly. Since the war, Earl Haig
had devoted much of his time to Or
ganizing relief for disabled soldiers
and their families. AS soon as the
war ended, he started campaign to
raise funds for the men who had given
their all. He originated poppy day,
an annual event when millions Of
cloth flowers made entirely by former
service men, and representing the
