KITCHENER'S MISSION. United Pbess Association. Paris, November 8. Lord Kitchener's visit was kept a profound secret. The general opinion i s that Lord Kitchener's presence in Greece will go far to show the Creeks that the Allies intend to act with vigor. The authorities are discussing the creation of an international body, to save the constant journeyings between London and Paris. Probably the council will be composed of Allied soldiers of authority, to act as an International General Staff, and serving as a clearing-house for military information.

Lo Temps says that Lord Kitchener's journey shows the extent to which the British Government is imbued with the necessity of giving the Eastern campaign full attention. Throughout Lord Kitchener has been a confirmed advocate of British cooperation with France's relief expedition to Serbia. General Joffre's visit dissipated the last remnants of hesitation, but the British Cabinet has asked Lord Kitchener to examine the Eastern theatre on the spot. London, November 7. The Daily Chronicle says that there is no need to doubt that if Lord Kitchener decided that Whitehall no longer offered the best scope for his talents it was possible he might have 'called for co-ordinate action among the Eastern armies, where his peculiar authority in Oriental matters 'marks him out. There are also problems closely centring about India. If Lord Kitchener ha s decided to 'leave the War Office, it only signifies that he lias done the work that he was called to do, and sees that there is harder work elsewhere.
