THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT.
A despatch from London on August 12th Bays the appointment of the Duke if Connaught to the Aldershot command created great disgust in British Army circles. What makes things doubly grievous is the knowledge that Lord Roberts was willing to waive the fact that Aldershot is inferior in official dignity tD his recent post, and undertake its work himself. Lord Roberts is literally idolised by the Army, and his taking up the task where Sir Evelyn Woods' splendid tale-its left it would have thrilled the whole service with enthusiastic confidence. The Daily Chroniole xb the only London paper that dares freely to express the disgust of the Army and public at the selection of the Queen's eon. It openly declares the appointment a most ill-advised one, from which both service and the Royal Family will suffer harm. At the same time there are none but amiable feelings towards the Puke himself. Labouchere has begun a vigorous attack on the " job," and while, of course, nothing can now be changed, it will undoubtedly be a powerful card for Radicals in their contest with the aristocracy.
