Mr. Phillip Gibbs, tvriting to the "Daily Chronicle" from British headquarters, quotes a sergeant-major's opinion of Lord Kitchener's army in France. "They are a very cheerful lot <vf men. When they entered the recruiting offices some were overtrained, but they have been working' hard for ten months, and now you could not find a, better regiment. Ybu'fl find plenty of hotheads, but not any with cold feet."
■ Mr. Gibbs adds that the new axmy has received its baptism of fire, but is beiug led to the danger zone by easy stages. Regular officers say they have never seen soldiers of finer physique or stouter qualities.
