how to suit their tactics and strategy to

SAD WEEK FOR GENERALS.
Another View of the Besmirched GEN
eraIs-ROberts and Kitchener.

Copyright, 1900 by the Associated Press)
LONDON. April 21.-This has been a sad
week for the British generals. The brewing
storm that last week was oVerhanging
their heads received it's electric spark
through the publication of Lord Robertss
censures regarding the engagement at
Spion kop. 1t descended in a merciless tor
rent from an unanimous press. At the
present moment General Butler could find
no better way to endear him TO the hearts
of the people than to request his recall, but
one who knows the Natal commander init
mately tells the representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that he is far too thick
skinned to do so and will stick to his post
despite all criticisms and avalanches of ad-
verse public opinion.
Nor is Lord Kitchener spared in the pres
ent outbreak. There is a story that the
great man of the Sudan" has been severe
ly sat upon by the "little man of Afghanis-
tan," and specific instances of disagree
ments between them are quoted. Once, so
gossip says, with mysterious references to
private letters and such inner sources of
information, Lord Roberts felt constrained
to put Lord Kitchener in his place. 'T
wish you to understand" he is reported to
have said, "if you please, that L command
this army. You are my chief of staff.
don't seek your advice, and shall decide
myself on what is TO be done and shall is
sue my orders accordingly" No docu-
mentary evidence has been obtained to
prove the truth of this story, and 1T may
be pure invention. but it has already been
printed in London and originated in much

ed, but compromised by sending Lord Rob-
erts as a figureheaj. This is considered
rather improbable, but, If true, the Cab
met has caught a tartar in the shape of
Lord Roberts.
1t is marvellous to note the wholeheart-
edness OF the English public trust in this
old general. Not one paper has attached
to his criticism Of General Buller-his pre-
decessor in the command-one iota of un-
fairness or self-interest. This, perhaps is
explained by the universal recognition Of
the fact that the field marshal has little to
gain by this campaign and that he gave up
all to which long and brilliant service en-
titled him in order to serve his country.
Whatever the outcome Of the Boer war.
Lord Roberts's name would stand in Eng
