Lord Kitchener's successor as head of the British war office will probably be civilian, but the new secretary will have to rely upon General Sir William Robertson, chief of the inn peria1 general staff, who was second in command to Lord Kitchener and who may be raised to the peerage and become war secretary himself. Men who know General Robertson in timately assert that he is a very re- markable man not only in ability and military genius, but because his rise has been almost as interesting as that Of Kitchener. General Robertson has risen from the ranks Last December when King George issued his letters patent creating the new British army council Of seven members headed by Earl Kitchener, General Robertson as chief of the imperial general staff re- ce1ved second place, General Robert son was quartermaster general of the British army in France and later it's chief of staff under French before being prom oted to be chief of the imperial general staff.
