IN EAlUi KITCHENErt'S tragic taking
off thcro Is a loss Jo England whJch
has nothing to do with the services of (
great soldier. With Kitchener England
loses hor pet hero, lier most chorlshod
poso. Tho lesson of his life was only half
learned In tho turmoil of the last two
years. His death makes him a sacrifice
not so much to England's blundering as
for England's future
Tho tragedy Itself Is blzarro, illogical,
meaningless. Tho circumstances havo a
few implications worth noting, chief
among them being tho presumable pierc
ing of England's guard by a submarlno to
tno very baso of the floct. It also ap.
pears thnt Kitchener was going to Russia
to confer, no doubt, on tho offenslvo which
already gives "signs of progress. Tor
ovorconfldonce, England pays a dreadful
prlco. Slto must lrarn from hor tragedy
not only to guoj-d but to divide her
trcasuro.
Hero-worship In democracies almost nl
ways leads to concentration. It Is not
only putting nil tho eggs In ono basket.
Democracies expect ono hen to lay nil
tho eggs and to hatch them. Tho Unltml
8tatcs considers Oocthals for President
because ho could build a canal or Mr.
Ford bccnilBo ho can build automobile.
Tho connection between a landslide at
untun and a landslide on olcctlon day Is
not clear, but It it always assumed. In
England toduy Uoyd-Ooorpe paasos from
position to position, Is mado Minister of
Munitions bemuse his financing Is good
and pacifier of Ireland because his work
with Welsh strikers Is acceptable. It
happens that Lloyd-George Is a man of
considerable versatility, but he Is not uni
versal. And It was Kitchener's private
tragedy that ho was compelled to bo.
England made an Idol of Kitchonor,
and like many Idol-worshlpcrs, was
ready to destroy him when ho failed to
Dring rair weather. By training ho was
a soldier and nn organizer of forces In
the field. It was generally held that nt
Omdurmnn and nt Paanleberg It was or
ganlzntlon which saved dufertlvo strategy
and gavo Kitchener victory. Yet when
tho Great War broke out ho was put In
chargo of recruiting ono nrmy while di
recting tho activities of another. At tho
tlmo of his death more than 4,000,000 mon
were under arms for England, an aston
ishing feat. But tho drlvo at Neuvo
Chappcllo had failed because thero werq
no high explosives In tho field. For a
year, from May, 1915, Kitchener's namo
grew dim. It flared up yesterday like a
gutterod candle.
Displaced and discredited, not given
even the Just appreciation due him for his
extraordinary powers. Kitchener had
ceased to be essential to British confi
dence. He was a shattered Idol, and Sir
Dpuglas Haig, Sir William Robertson and
Lloyd-Georgo aro In his place. The war
will go on without him without hindrance
or difficulty. And England, for tho shock
sho has received, wlU go on, a little saner
of vision.
In Kitchener tho English nation. wor
shiped oxnetly what It did not possess
a heartless efficiency, a genius for organ
ization, brutality, ruthlessness, frigid cal.
culation; the Englishman, In a word, of
foreign fiction. The great English pose,
or being without sentiment, the actual
fear of expressing emotion, was a reality
with Kitchener, and every Britisher saw
in Him what he Imagined he would like,
himself to bo. He was, In fact, precisely
What the British call the Prussian
"Huns," a fighting machine, because ho
could tight without loving, could fight
with nothing but tho battle to Insplrq
him. Only In ono thing was Kitchener
deficient. 'He was not a perfect sport,
In the English sense. He did not always
play the game.
The worship of Kltohenor was at least
ono part cowardice, England was weak
and she sought strong men for rulers,
whereas a nation which Is strong can bo
safe In the hands of dreamers and vision
aries. That Will nass with tha war. fnr
out of It England will coma burned cjean
of weakness. But the rest is a paradox,
not unusual. The heart of England, of
tho middle class and the upper class and
tho lowest classes of all, Is tender and
gentle. Its very brutalities, In Dickens or
in Whltechapel, have a touching" spur of
Kinuness and of sontlmentallty. That was
what no Englishman would dare acknowl
edge. He thought that humanity was
frail. The war has taught him that tho
superman is brittle. In this conflict Eng.
land has been compelled to fight liquid
fire wJth Are. With peace will come a re
turn to tha facts of common Ufa and tha
Are will burn on the hearthstone, in it
the frozen imago of Kitchener will oven-,
tuauy meit away.
THE trumpets In tho second act of
"Alda" nt Franklin Field last night
played very well, but an assist should bn
given to Poto Bradley, fireman, or who
ovfer it was who was operntlng tho whtstlo
on shifting englno No. 607. P. R. R.
And some time before It was all finished
and folks were beginning to strugglq
home, so R. W. B. tells us, a little girl
at tho gato called but to n man who was
passing; ''What's tho matter, mister,
ain't tho gamo over yet?" ho man
smiled and called back: "No, and wo
didn't hear tho score, either,"
