PLEA FOR PEACE
BY SIR lAN HAMILTON. MEMORIES OF LOST LEGIONS. London, Oct- 1. “There must be sonithing wrong with the scheme ol existence when a State, whenever' disturbed, devours its own children, ’ said Sir lan Hamilton, when urging the need for peace at the inauguration of a sports pavillion in Glasgow in memory of 500 high school boys killed in the war. Sir Tan Hamilton added: “On hard fought fields, when fortunes are sinking and rising the commander’s
mind inevitably turns to lost legions. Lord French must often have longed for the Mons Contemptibles. How often in my agony of suspense have 1 called up from the dead the beautiful Twenty-ninth Division standing intact on parade at Alexandria. With that division nt the critical moment, the campaign might have been won within an hour.”—(A. and N.Z.)
