services early In the war, but It will not
cause a breakdown In the management
of Great Britain's part In the Allies' cam
paign. ,
During the past year Lord Kitcheners
responsibilities have been gradually cur
tailed, , until at the tttno of his death ho
had little control over strategy of the war
and was engaged almost exclusively a
matters of organization.
The British Empire owes a large debt
of gratitude to Lord Kitchener for the
manner In which 'he .stimulated recruiting
during the first months of the war, but
he wan allowed to take too much power In
his own hiyids, 'and ft was this fact that
- has been responsible in a large measure
for the comparatively small accomplish
ments of the British army since tho battle
of the Jtarne.'
When the war began, Orcat Brltalp. was
verVf-short of officers, and the members of
the'General Staff in London were trans
ferred to field duty. Lord Kitchener took
on Ms own shoulders the burden of direct
ing Great Britain's military strategy as
well as- the work of organizing tho Empire's
volunteer army. No man could do both
these, duties successfully, and the result
wai .that In strategic accomplishments the
British army, during the first 'period of the
war, did not shine brilliantly.
Kitchener, too. greatly burdened wjth
work; also failed to realize the Immense,
importance artillery and heavy sheila were
playing in the war. The result was that
the British army did not begin to havo a
truly modern equipment un'tjl many months
after the outbreak of the war.
Kitchener had no faults as Minister of
War. His genius for organization did Im
mense service for his country. But when
the effort was mada to combine the re
sponsibilities of War Minister with the
work of the general staff, the result showed
tiia. there Is a limit to. human endurance
beyond which even a man of Kitchener's
Iron character must not trespass.
Lord Kitchener was one of the great
personalities of the war and the affection
of the British people for him was unique.
Hla title of Kitchener of Khartoum was
abbreviated Into "K. of K.," while to the
.man in the street he was known ns "good
'old Kitchener."
Popular trust In him was based on the
fact that he personified to the British peo
ple oil the tenacity and bulldog stubborn
ness of their race.

Death
PLACE CAN BE FILLED
Englishmen In the city, although they
regret the loss of the Kitchener party as
unfortunatedo not regard it as disastrous
to the British cause In the war. .. Hugh
Ford, acting British consul-general for
Philadelphia, had no official word of
Kitchener's death, but ha believed the. dla-,
patches relating to It were authentic. The
general opinion among ex-English and those
r who still retain their nlleglance is tnai
Kitchener can be repiaceu ana inai mo.
conduct of the war will not be materially
altered by his death.
"Kitchener was on his way to Russia;
I knew that," said Mr, Ford.
"What the effect wll be I am not at
liberty to say." .... .
William Cox, president of 'the Society of
the Sons of St. Oeorge, a club of English
men, most of whom have become American
citizens, would not believe the report, but
did not consider the loss of the British
war lord a disaster even If the report were,
true. Mr. Cox Is an American citizen. Ho
would not discuss tho situation growing out
of Kitchener's death, beyond quoting Napo
leon's words, "No man Is Indispensable."

KITCHENER, IRON MAN,
GOT FAME AND POWER
BY HIS SHEER ABILITY
Born in Ireland, Son of English
Soldier, He Fought His Way
to Seat Among the
Mighty
TRIUMPH AT KHARTOUM
Lord Kitchener, England' foremost sol
dier since the death of Lord Hoberts. "Lit
tle Bobs," and ono of tho most conspicuous
figures In the present war, died with his
prophecy partly fulfilled that the struggle
would bo a long one.
He was born nt Crotter House, Ually
longford, County Kerry, Ireland, Juno 24,
1850, tho son of nn Kngllsh father nnd of
a mother of French descent. His father
was Lieutenant-Colonel II. If. Kitchener,
of Cosslngton, Leicestershire, nnd his
mother had been Miss Chevalier, of Aspall
Hall, Suffolk. Ho wan christened Horntlo
Herbert Kitchener. As a boy Kitchener
was cdticntcd at tho Iloyal Military Acad
emy, Woolwich. Ho entered tho Itoyal
Engineer? In 1871. In brief, his career
thereafter was as follows: ')
Palestine survey, 1S7-I-78; Cyprus survey,
1878-82; commanded Egyptian cnvnlry,
1832-84; Nllo expedition. 1881-85; Governor
of Suaklm. 1SSG-S8; Dongnla expeditionary
force, 180G; promoted to Major General, K.
C. II. ; commanded Khartoum expedition,
1898; received tho thanks of Parliament
nnd was elevated to tho pocrngo with a
grant of 180,000; chief of staff of forces of
South Africa In 1809-1900; commander-in-chief.
1900-1902; promoted to lieutenant gen
eral nnd general, received vlscounctcy, with
a grnnt of f.60,000 nnd thanks of Parlia
ment ; commnndcr-ln-chlcf of India In 1002
1909; member of Commlttco of Imperial De
fense In 1910. '
At tho beginning of tho present war,
Kitchener was mado Minister of War. He
held tho position at the time of his death.
Lord Kitchener Is succeeded In his titles
nnd emoluments by his brother, Col. Henry
Elliott Kitchener.
RAISED VOLUNTEER ARMY.
Ono of tho most notable exploits of his
distinguished military career was the rais
ing of tho largest volunteer army tho world
had over scon. In a year ho swelled
Great Britain's fighting ranks from les3
than 1,000,000 men to nearly 4,000,000 by a
recruiting campaign, whllo all the other
warring nations hurled their conscripts Into
the fray.
At tho samo time ho "cleaned out" tho
War Ofilce, which' was filled with office
holders who gained tholr positions through
social or political favoritism. Stern disci
plinarian that ho was. Lord Kitchener
could not brook Inefficiency, though his hnrd
rulo was severely criticised in many quar
ters. " 'E's no talker. 'E's all steel and hlce,"
was tho trlbuto paid him by a cockney
olficer.
The (strict censorship that ho Instituted
also gained him no favor In tho eyes of
tho war correspondents. Ills unbending
nttltudo toward them was strengthened,
even 'when the famous "Interview" with
Irvln S. Cobb was granted.
"I went to. Interview Earl Kitchener of
Khartoum and was myself Interviewed by
Earl Kitchener." Cobb reported.
FOUGHT FOH PRANCE.
Kitchener of Khartoum early showcdjila
aptitude for tho "war game." After finish
ing his early training at the Woolwich Mili
tary Academy, which he entered when ho
waB 18 years old, he went to Franco and
enlisted In the French nrmy as a private
In the Franco-Prussian War. He served.
In the Army of tho Loire and gained the
first-hand war experience for which his soul
longed.
In 1871 Kitchener became a lieutenant In
the Royal Engineers. The yoUng soldier
desired action and, seeing that it could not
be had In peaceful England, ho obtained
a commission to do surveying In Palestine,
under the auspices of the -Palestine Explora
tion Fund. In 1878 he surveyed the Island
of Cyprus.
When tho Egyptian campaign opened, In
1882, Kitchener got his chance nnd served
through the operations with honors. Kltch
ener was called " a very superior officer" by
General Gordon, In his journal. The future
War Secretary led tho Nile expedition that
went to tho relief of Gortlon, and dlslln
finished himself to such aji extent that he
was made a lieutenant colonel nnd dec
orated wtth n medal.
From 1880 to 1888 Kitchener was Gover
nor of Suaklm.
Four years later, In 1802, Kitchener was
named Sirdar, or Commander-in-chief, of
tho Egyptian Army, and his famo In that
capacity caused tho namo of Sirdar to stick
to him even after he had secured n, nlcho
In tho nobility.
Kitchener was promoted to be a Major
General for his services rendered In the
Dongota expeditionary force In 1896.
Two years later he commanded tho Khar
tum expedition. The namo Khartum ap
pealed to Kitchener. When he was created
an Earl by King George In 1914 ho took
tho title of "Kitchener of Khartum."
In 1899 Kitchener was named Chief of
Stnff for the Urltlsh forces In South Africa,
a post ho held for a year. For tho next
year ho was Commander-in-Chief In South
Afrlcn, conducting his campaigns with nbll
lty that commnnded tho admiration of tho
Empire. Ho received n Viscounty grant
from Parliament of JI50.00O nnd was
thanked.
For tho seven years between 1902 and
1908 Kitchener was Commander-in-Chief
In India.
In 1D10 Lord Kitchener was made a mem
ber of tho Commlttco of Imperial Defense.
The following year ho was named agent
and Consul General In Egypt. Lord
Kitchener was a Field Marshal In the Eng
lish Army, a tltlo conferred upon him five
years boforo tho present war broke out,
and was recognized as one of tho foremost
writers on military affairs In the world.
ENDED GALLIPOLt EXPEDITION.
Lord Kitchener had been ono of tho most
conspicuous figures In the war. It was he
who In November, 1915, wont to tho Near
East and Inspected conditions nt tho Dar
danelles. This trip led to the withdrawal
y,
rd.g5,n,iill
of the British expedition fro-amupcB
I'emnsuia,
The War Secretary lift London tm No
vember R, 191s. He visited rjatllpoH tt J
Salonlca, where he conferred with the
Urltlsh and French general In Charge. On1-
November 20 Lord Kitchener xefil to Ath
ens, where he conferred with, King Con
stantino, King of the Hellenes, for nt that
time the situation In the Balkans was
looking very black for the Allies and H
waa feared Greece might be with the Cel
Irdl Powers. a
Lord Kitchener was a Brim, laconl6 rnin,
of magnificent physique, standing over she
feet. His friends nlwnys said of him thai
he made his way through sheer ability,
having no taste for politics or Intrigue, "
Kitchener's self-confidence was pi-overbid
among the British army officers', His re
torts to the War Office during tho. Egyptian ,
campaign, , which Is considered' a perfect,
typo of military expedition, caused con
siderable comment at the time. On one
occasion he requested that a special kind
of gun be dispatched to his army and
another kind was sent. Ho advised the
War Ofilce to keep Its gUns, saying he
could do better by "throwing stones nt the
enemy." Instead of running Into-n hornet's
nest, he received tho guns he wished, Th
campaign ended with the recapture of
Khartum, cnpttol of Sudan, nnd Kitchener
became a national hero. He was criticised,
however, for the ruthlessness of his cam
paign. Lord Kitchener paid n short visit to this
country In 1910, on a trip around tho world.
At.that tlmo It was reported that ho was ft
"woman hater." Ho never married, but de
nied It was because ho was a "woman
hater," He did not believe that e. man
could be a good soldier nnd A good husband
nt tho samo time. Ho was wedded to th
army.
Much Interest was aroused last December
when a report came from London saying
that on "excellent authority" It had been
learned that Lord Kitchener's engagement
to tho Dowager-Countess of Mlnto would be
announced Bhbrtly. It was never confirmed.
Tho Countess, whose lato husband waa
Viceroy of India, Is a gifted writer and n.
sportswoman. Sho visited this country In
1903 and was extensively entertained.
