BIRDWOOD’S POPULARITY
WITH INDIAN TROOPS. (By Cable —Press Assn. —Copyright.) LONDON, November 26. “The Times’s” correspondent at Delhi states: The Commander-in-Chief, Marshal Birdwood, left Karapur to-day, embarking on the last stage of a remarkable tour of inspection. He began at the North-west Frontier, and covered Central and Southern India. He is now going to Andamans, thence to Calcutta, and back to Delhi. A feature of the tour has been personal interviews of all ranks, who are grieved at losing their beloved chief. His example and his faculty for remembering his humblest comrades in many campaigns, has captured the imagination of the troops more than any leader has done since their own frontier chief, Lord Roberts.”
