THE NEW COMMANDER.
ALL IKE CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD GENERAL. LONDON, October 19. The " Daily • Chronicle " says Sir Charles Monrq is a striking instance of the emergence of Scottish leadership since the war began... He has all the characteristics 1 of first-rate generalship —instant judgment, unlimited receptiv.eness. to ideas, imperturbability, j unflinching courage, and capacity for i winning popularity and inspiring con- ■ fidence. Before he went to France he was in command of the - 2nd Division of the London Territorials, and was given command of the 2nd Regular Division before Mons. He so distinguished himself in the retreat to the Marnn and in the fighting on the Aisne. that he was given command of an army corps.
