leave delivered an address recounting
his matchless services to India.
In his address Kitchener ironically
adopted Curzon's lofty language in
describing what he himself had done
for the Indian army.
The joke was appreciated in In
dia, but when the Calcutta papers
containing reports of the speech were
received in London, an inspired
friend of Curzon wrote to the Times
a solemn letter accusing Kitchener
of plagiarism.
Kitchener's humor was shown on a
previous occasion when the Ameer OF
Afghanistan visited India. Orders
were issued by the military headquar-
tiers staff at Simla that on all occa-
sions the Ameer must be greeted by
military bands with the national an
them of Afghanistan. The question
Immediately arose as TO what really
was the national anthem of Afghanis-
tan. No one seemed to know any
thing about it, and the question was
ultimately referred to Lord Kitchener
for his decision. He disposed of it in
Enthusiastically summary fashion.
What does it matter two straws,"
he said. PLAY a bar or two of some
thing slow and pompous and let it go
at that"

Adopts Lofty Language Of His RivaI
In Describing His Work
for India.

London, Eng.-In his fareweH
address to the British army
in India, Lord Kitchener held
Lord Curzon of Keddleston up
to ridicule and baited a trap into
which the ex-viceroy fell all in heap.
AS every one familiar with events
in that eastern empire is aware, Cur
zon and Kitchener quarreled over the
question of supremacy, the former
holding that the civil authority was
paramount; the latter insisting that
the military must rule. Curzon in
formed the British government that
unless he was sustained he would re-
sign. He resigned and on taking his
