will so 10 India as vceroy. That is the
gossip current in high circles concerning
the great soldier who has just returned
home from the United States.

been growing steadily worse and It has
become imperative that the power OF the

high authority for saying that IL Kitch-
ener does not become viceroy of India it

called an enthusiastic man. but he is as
nearly enthusiastic as he gets to be in

of meeting demonstrate its efficiency. 1
hope some DAY 10 make another visit to
America and make a longer stay.
