We note with no little satisfaction that Lord Grenfell, now

Governor of Malta, has been appointed to the command of the Fourth Army Corps, the headquarters of which are in London. The appointment is an excellent one, for Lord Grenfell is one of the soundest soldiers in the British Army. He will bring to his command a statesmanlike mind as well as military qualities of a high order. Lord Grenfell's influence on the making of the Egyptian Army was most potent.
