The review of recent operations by General Haig, noticed by

us elsewhere, and his previous warm commendations of the New Army are glorious reading. Indeed, of the troops of this second New Model we may say what Cromwell said of the first New Model. They have " honour and courage and resolution in them," and are willing and able " as one man to stand firmly and charge desperately, making always some conscience of what they do." Looking back on the past, Sir Douglas Haig will be able to say as Cromwell said, also looking back : " Truly they were never beaten, and wherever they were engaged against the enemy they beat continually." Elsewhere he tells us that " they were a lovely company."
