PLEA FOR PEACE
BY SIR lAN HAMILTON MEMORIES OF LOST LEGIONS By Telegraph.—Press association. Copyrigh.. (Rec. October 2, 5.5 p.m.) London, October 1. “There must be something wrong with the scheme of existence when a State, whenever it is disturbed, devours its own children,” said Sir lan Hamilton, when urging the need for peace at the inauguration of a sports pavilion in Glasgow, in memory of five hundred High School boys killed in the war. Str lan added : “On hard-fought fields, when fortunes are sinking and rising, a commander’s mind inevitably turns to the los’ legions. Lord French must often have longed for the Mons Contemptibles. How often in mv agony and suspense have I called up from the dead the beautiful Twenty-ninth Division, standing intact on parade at Alexandria. With that division at the critical moment the campaign might have been won within an hour.”
