A Study of Kitchener

Lord Kitchener is trbt like other I generals ; and, incited, it is well that no j stereotyped officer is at the helm to « Sooth Africa, and I g*y thig wi*hont] desiring in any w»y to rtfl 'Cf. upon the witdora, cupncity, or administrative abilities of any othor general officer— for the sihiaiion calls rafher for the specialist than the general prac titioner, . jCHiii ■*..•■ . . ■ A graht strategist would b« wanted in Africa. There is no need for deli cate adjustment ItH'o'ri;!!" or ci -b" rately prepared counter-movea. Tot* overthrow of y^rf^a^ijnt of the Boer array requires little strategy. It Is a matter for brute p , force, and physical endurance. W*"-1' lord Kitchener realises this, and has realised it for m»«j months. He knows that if the war is to be brought to a satisfactory conclasioij, that end willonly be arrived at by plodding, dogged porsuveranee, and by playing the Boers &t thoir own game, | and d*ra%ging them in she most effec tive manner. Yon cannot defeat tho Boer by call ing him n mats, He ruas away and glories in it. You cannot get near enough to cill him a coward, nor would that epitheti sting him to the fighting point. It is a part of Brother Boer's tnc fie« to ran, and he makes us run after him ; it is a part of the lirlng-oat proc as, and the dominating ttiaxim of the outlying commando ia s— 0 We who fight and ran Away, Live to fightl w&bh Do h Bey.' Kitchener knows this, and where another general might have been covering sheets of foolscap with gene~ rai idsae for surrounding and captur ing the lying burghers, Kitchener is steadily acid calmly removing to wett guarded centres the means of flight, Firstly, the burghers must hare food—-so we are bringing the food in.* Then they must have horses, bo the oonntry from the Orange to the Croco dile ia being denuded of horses The horses mast have forage, acd the for<Bga of the ciun'ry ia stored or burnt Imagine if yora can Kitchener* task. Think of the enormous tract of country over which our operations are extended, and you will realise to some extent that in Pretoria ia the only posiible general for the work in hand —a work that demands better general ship than would be required of the commander of an army corps in a European war In South Africa Kitehiner is the head, middle, and feet of the Army. He rune everything and knows every thing. He has divisions, brigades, and columns moving in all directions over «q area of not leas than 800,000 square miles, and he knows the whereabouts of every on© He has some columns that are 250 miles from any railway line, and a* far from teli^rsphic communication Hia grasp of derail is perfect. , He knows how many Oape carts Henni ker's column hap, and hs is aware that there are three sick Yeoman in hospi tal at Bulawayo His attitude towards his subord inates iti pecular, for be values man only »s a more or leas perfect machine, sad the more perfpct he is the better Sue treats him. Kitchener has no cse for fops of any sort, but he is not so prejudiced by appearance as to order a, man home because he wears an eye glasp, as some people would have you believe. Indeed, eoroe of bis best cfficers have an affection for the laaonncle. if his manner were translated into words it would run something like thia:— --11 am your eoperio? officer ; you hava taken service under mf, and the world will judge you according to your progress. I have great power entrusted to me by the King through Ms Parliament, and whoever you are or whatever position you fill in the social world I can make or mar yon, I want you to do your duty, and your duty is to do as you are told. If yon do as 1 bid, you shall have ail the credit for the success in obtaining which I used ycu as an instrument. If my plan miscarry I will take the blame—unless It miscarries through your inefficiency. I don't care whs yoar tailor is or how many clobs you may be a member of, providing you can lead your men into action with a maximum of jjdaeh to a minimum of risk, I don't want heroes who mil lead their companies up to cannon's mouth and reduce the strength of their regiments accordingly, but steady men who will take cover and shoot away obstruction from the shel ter of ft nice convenient boulder. "-—By Edgar Wall»ei», in the Daily Mail.
