Pretoria state that the beers are SUI.
rendering In large numbers in accord
ance with the peace agreement Lord
Kitchener is receiving numerous con.
gratulatory messages. One from Pre-.
mier Salisbury says:
My hearty congratulations on the
brilliant achievements which brought
the war TO a satisfactory conclusion"
Although II Is recognized that the
rapid advancement made by Lord
Kitchener has not been paralleIed
since the times OF Nelson and Yelling
ton, and that In the course OF his life
Lord Kitchener Is likely to attain 10
the greatest possible distinction the
sovereign can confer, almost all the
morning newspapers IN London com
ment upon the grant Of (E250.000J to
Lord Kitchener as unnecessarily Mig.
