DROOPS AND STRIKES.
EARL HAIG'S OPINION.
NOT A SOLDIER'S JOB." A. and N.Z. LONDON. Oct. 17. In the course of a speech when accepting the freedom of the city of Wolverhampton, Earl Haig said that he was glad that the soldiers were not called out in the recent railway strike. That was not m, soldier's job. Reading General Ludendorff's memoirs, he noted the riental distress &nd hopelessness; with which Ludendorff was overwhelmed when he realised thMt the great German military instrument had broken to pieces in his hands*. Earl Haig never contemplated* such a possibility on th«? Allied sidej, even though the men were outnumbered and their strength reduced by the strain of unequal battle.
