due to hi strength of character that the

lussible for him to accoiupllh so many

that had attended hta previous efforts.
It being nccessarv to provide means: bv
which Huberts could strike a I the heart

fecretly and energetically, collected
ample uppties and transport wavon. so
that when the advance tip the Moddcr

and made It necessary finally for Lord

of orcanlzatlon.
LeavliiB India he was promoted to the
rank of Pield Marshal nnd was appointed
to succeed the Duko of Connaught as
commander In chief of the Mediterranean
foi ces. This was a sinecure post and
the choice of Kitchener for tho post
aroused Indignation In KnKland. The
general Impression was that the Govern
ment did not know what to do with him
and was afraid to put lit tit at the head
of the War Olllce. In H'll he was sent
to Pgypt as tiiPMit ajid Cnnsul-lieneral
at Cairo, whete ho did effective work In
preventing the Turks from smuggling

'The result of the conquest was to

enjoyed a degree of prosperity, progress,
mental and physical freedom and gen

even approached In ah their previous

IjONnoN, June 6. There la much spec
ulation regarding 1ord Kitchener's suc
cessor. It la recognize! that in view
of tho demands of tho war tho appoint
ment of a new Secretary cannot be long 1
elelsyed, anil It Ih assumed that an audi- I
enco which Premier Aitqulth had to-day
with tho Klnft wan connected with this
question. i
During Lord Kllehener'ee Intcndrel visit '
to Itussla Oen. Sir William Hoberlson,
Chief of the Imperial fieneral tfiutt
would ex eifflclo, have taken charge of
the nrtny and the conjecture Is pretty
general that ho will succeed Ird Kitch
ener aa Secretary for War.
The appointment Is, of course, a ques
tion for the Cabinet, whose decision will
be submitted to tho King for nnnrovat
Oen. Robertson was received In nudl-1
ence by King Ueorgc em Katurday and
again yesterday to report on the situa
tion on tho Ilrltlsh front In Hetglum 1
and Frame.
The Parliamentary correspondent of
the Dolly .Veil's writes "
"Some time ugo the claims of den
Hobcrtsbn to the Secretaryship for War ,
were canvassed and one of tin mem-1
bers of the House of Commons privately
made known his readiness, to vacate his
seat In favor of (5en. Itobertsem If the
latter In th course of e-vents should
succeed I.ord Kitchener. Hut great at
havo been air Wllllanrn services. It Is ;
not hy any means generally felt Hint be
would ho the best man to handle the civil
side of the duties of Secretary of State
for War.
"The vacancy tcopens the question,
on whloh there long had been n, good
deal of feeling, whether th" Secretary
for War ought not to be a civilian ap
pointment. Just as Mr. Italfour Is the
civilian First Ixird of the Admiralty.
If this view Is taken the Cabinet claims
of various Ministers may be discussed.
"and some .ire already speaking of Mr.
Lloyd eie-orge In this connection nut
the Minister of Munitions ha- his hands
full with the Irish question Just now."
The Jfornbto 'osf strongly advocates
the naming of I.ord Miltier to succeed
Iord Kitchener as Secretary fir war.
