That ;Lord Kitchener is at last to have a free hand is the most important decision come to at the Cabinet Council on Friday (says a Home paper of 31st December). Lord Salisbury has carried his colleagues with him in this respect, and a policy of "thorough" will be carried out in both the Transvaal and South Africa. The War Office officials do not like the rapid growth of Lord Kitchener to positions of influence, and they were careful to let out the news of what had been done in the Cabinet as soon as it reached them. There are, is a matter of fact, serious differences of opinion between the existing authorities at Fall Mall and the members of the Government. The V.'ar Office even made an attempt to defy the Government, and, so far as the chief officials on the military staff are concerned, the result is seen in the resolve of Lord "Wolseley to leave his post as Commander-in-Chief this week. Lord Wolseley is sick of the whole business. He has between the upper and the nether millstone for the last five years, and the attempt of the permanent officials to put obstacles in the way of the Cabinet who after all, represent the country, has proved the necessary last straw. Lord Methuen .-111 have now either to come home or serve under his junior, and the war will not last very much longer once Lord Kitchener is fairly in the saddle.
