16th.-—Field
Marshal
Haig
was made
a freeman
of
the
Bor
ough of
Wolverhampton
yesterdav.
In
acknowledging
the honour
he
said
that
h- nad
been
reading
Ludendorff's
mem-
oirsand
one
¢f
the
things
there
that
scruck
him
was
the marked
distress
and
hopelessness
that had overconie
the
Ger-
man Commander
when he realized that
the
Lreat
German
Army
had
been
broken
to
vicces.
That
was
an
experience
which
he, Haig,
had
never
had
to
contemplate
even
though
the
mien
he had command
of
had
been
almost hopelessly
outnumbercd,
the
numbers
reduced
at
their
strengih
tried by the strain
of an unequal
batile.
Os
those
who
had
remained
with
him,
each
man had fought
a man’s
battle
and
nad
fought
the
more
desperaiely,
the
more desperate
condi
ions became.
The
gallaant
story
of
the
British
campaien
offered
a moral
which
should
be applied

every
corne.

the
Empire
at
the present
day.
“"Preserve
your confi-
dence
no.
merely
in
yourselves
but
in
each
other
and organize
for
success
to
the last
detail.”’
Alluding
to the
recent
railway strike,
Field
Marshal
Haig said
that
he
was
glad
that
the
soldiers
had
not
been
calied
upon
for it
was
not
their
job.
They
enlisted
to fight external
and
not internal
foes.
