went to Egypt in connexion with Arabi Pashin'a rebellian, being pre- sent at the battles of Kassassin and Tel-el-Kebir and being made Commandant of Headquarters.
He next took part in Sir Charles Warren's expedition of 1884 into Bechuanaland where he raised and commanded the mounted force known as Methuen's Horse and re- ceived the C.M.G. for his services. Returning to England he was promoted Major-General in 1890 and aucceeded his father in the Peerage next year. After com- manding the Home District from 1892 to 1807 Methuen went to India as press censor during the Tirah operations and was knighted (K.C.V.0.).
In the South African war he was given the command of the 1st In- fantry Division and assigned the task of advancing to the relief of Kimberley which was besieged by the Boers. Methuen's attacks at Belmont and Enslin were success- ful and at the Modder River with the assistance of the Kimberley garrison he drove the Boers back. Later he was wounded and cap- tured, but was generously released by Gan. Delarey.
At the end of the war ho was awarded the G.C.B. and given the Eastern Home Command. Appoint- ed Governor of Natal in 1909, he was made Field Marshal in 1911. During the world-war Methuen was Governor and Commander-in- Chief at Malta and in 1920 was made Governor and Constable of the Tower of London..
CONSULOR WORK
MANY SUGGESTIONS IN LONDON JOURNAL
London, Oct. 30, More effective diplomatic and Consular co-operation in China is strongly urged by a special corres- pondent of the Obscrver in an articie on China stating that there is narrowing gulf be- tween the two services In China itself, and suggesting that Consuls make additional personal contacts, firstly with the English Industrial areas and secondly with the British Chambers of Commerce.
ba
at
The article says the commercial and diplomatic service should re-organised and concentrated Shanghai, while the present is the right moment to bring the Legation to or nearer Nanking. It suggests regarding this that either a tem- porary Chancery could be erected
on the spacious grounds of the Consulate General at Shanghal with the Minister residing at the Consul General's house, or a suit- able house outside in Shanghai could be leased and a temporary chancary erected nearby.
Answering the argument that this would mean that the Minister would become immersed in Shang- hal problems the correspondent cou- tends it would be a good thing for the minister to come into closer contact with the British community in Shanghai. The schemo would save the cost of the Legation guard
at Peking.
Another alternative schemo would be to house the Minister in temporary buildings at Nanking but this would be more expensive as it would necessitate new buildings to house the staff which would be un- necessary at Shanghai.
While advocating closer British co-operation with China the corres- pondent says this must not be con- fused with laxness and he in- stances the unsatisfactory fentures of the administration of the Boxer Indemnity Fund arising from in- sumclent provision in the agree- mant for Inspection And audit. Ho cltes Sir Hope Simpson's work as a successful example of co- operation-Reuter.
