The appointment of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener as British Secretary of State for War means that an able anil experienced soldier will direct the general plan of the campaign that is to be conducted by the English armies. Kitchener is no carpetknight. In the Soudan and in the Boer war he showed not only true military talent of a high order, but t-te unyielding and lndomliablo temper that wilt not take from fortune j any answer but success. Who will be in actual command on the field, if . British troops are sent to the Contl- ' nont, has not yet been announced, but we may be sure it wil lie a man after Kitchener's own heart, a man of iron, who will strike fierce and hard. In the centre of the British war web will sit the grim, inflexible figure of the War Secretary, who, as soldier in Kgypt, knew how to tamo savage and fanatical tribes and who was so instrumental in redoing to submission in Africa the most formidable and valiant enemy his country had encountered in manyyears.
