IN FOOTSTEPS OF 1914
BRITAIN’S POSITION TO-DAY MORE FORMIDABLE GERMANY NOW j ——■ [By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright] LONDON, Feb. 12. 1 Sir lan Hamilton, addressing the British Legion, declared:— ; "We are following closely in the footsteps of 1914. As then, we have so tied our hands that it is impos- ■' sible honourably to approach any r other ally than France. The next step was to place our armed forces at her disposal, resulting in General Joffre and Sir John French wasting ■ all our gun ammunition al Festubert 'and Loos when we were trying to : carry out world strategy at the Dardanelles. Let us pray that this complies the parallel, because Herr Hitler , and Field-Marshal Goering are far more formidable than the Raise and von Moltke. "We must hold up the first shot, whether it s of an umbrella, a bottle, or anything.”
