June 12, 5.5 p.m.) London, June il. speculation over Lord Kitchenor's successor in the Ministry of War continues" the Liberal newspapers are anxious that the appointment should be of a strictly subordinate character. An orthodox party, politician like Mr. Bonar Law, Mr. Austen Chamberlain, or MiHerbert Samuel is suggested. The objections to Lord Milnei' arc based on the view that he carries no weight with either party. Most people agree that Mr. Lloyd George can bo appointed if he wants the post. In outside party circles a more serious view is taken. It is clear that a large number of members will not be satisfied with a party-promotion-in-peace-time type. .They point out Lord Kitchener s great position among the Allies who would resent an obvious anti-climax' Outside Parliament the feeling is stronger still. Lord Cnrzon is mentioned as the most eminent administrator in the present Cabinet, but there is ing support of Lord Milner. The importance of a Politician-Secretary for War is admitted, but it is more important, it is contended, to appoint the strongest man available.
