The inflexible sternness and the soldierly brevity -of Lord Kitchener are de» | clared by an American correspondent to be a constant source of wonderment to his colleagues m the Cabinet. He arrives at the Council punctually to the minute and before general business is opened he says: — "Gentlemen, I have some,.communications to make. Perhaps .we had better dispose of them first." The military business finished,, he leaves the chamber. BY is rarely there more than 15. or 20 minutes. Kitchener's methods at the War Office cause him to bo very much respected and feared. "He arrives there punctually at 9 m. the morning," says the correspondent, "and except for a Cabinet Council, a special consultation with the Prime Minister, or the King, he does not leave it until half- past 7 for, dinner. He returns at 9, and works on until 12 or lin the morning, fie expects hiß staff to keep the same hours. Any shortcoming is severely criticised/ He has already changed his military secretary once and no one feels any security m their places." THE '* OVERLAND" IS THE FARMER'S OAR.
