METHUEN AND THE WAR.
Lord Methuen, who has arrived at Corsham Court, his Wiltshire home, declares : —I can only say that I have done my duty to the best of my ability in novel warfare, and I feel sure that every man who has served under me has endeavored to do and has done his duty in the same manner as an Englishman always does. I shall consider it the honor of my life not only to have commanded Englishmen, but also to have had under my command a very laige number of colonials from both Australia and New Zealand ; and the many kind messages I have received from England have been equalled by kind words that I have received from comrades and from relations' both in Australia and New Zealand. It has been a war which, as I have said to you, has been waged in novel ways, as I do not intend now, nor do I intend during the 1 est of my life, ever to fight any battles over again. All I can say to you is that the criticisms that you may have read have been perhaps many and strong, but you may depend upon it that this country has never been represented by an army which has had better and braver men.
