The nomination Of Count Won Wald-

scarcely correct to say that the official
consent Of all the allied governments

will be cordially accepted by the Brit

discussed at special meeting Of the

Yesterday afternoon under the presl-

WOlseley men in London admit that
since Lord Roberts and Lord WOlseley
are out OF the question, no more distin-
gulshed soldier could be found for the
chief command IN the far East than
Count Won Waldersee. In addition to
his personal distinction, the count pos
sesses the necessary qualification for
holding the grade Of field marshal so
that he will be superior in rank to any
Of the officers commanding the various
national contingents.
1t has been suggested that the Ger
man emperor adroitly forced the hands
Of some Of the other powers who threat

that he intended to send out Prussian
