on marriage for soldiers. He would not have a married officer on his staff in Egypt, but the fact that he was "best man" to his friend General Sir Archibald Hanler, seems to prove that his objections are not lacuperable. Lord Kitcherer is sixty years of age, and the cir comstance of his being still a bachelor ban led a lot of people to call him a woman-buter. He himself tells the story of an encounter which he once had wiba young lady. It was in India, and a taunis party had been arranged, at which the greater part of the officers had promised to play.
