Lord Kitchener Talks on Best
PreventiveS of Hostilities
PANAMA CANAL BIG FACTOR
In Interview at Chicago the English
General Gives His Ideas as to
Preparing for War in Time OF
Peace-Navy Comes First.

CHICAGO. ILLS, April 14.-lSord
Kitchener, "of Khartoum," became
Kitchener of Chicago for exactly
one hour and thirty minutes today.
The taciturnity usually ascribed TO
him was not in evidence. Surrender.
ing gracefully TO a surprise party by
a reporter who boarded the train on
the outskirts OF the city, Lord Kit
with good humor.
On militarism the general spoke
guardedly, saying: zone must DC
careful when a thoughtlcss word
might be wrongfully taken to mean
something one did not intend il to.
II see no reason why International
peace should not continue from this
very moment. One never knows, how
ever. when something viii stir up
trouble and war does not often an
nounce itself far in advance. 1t al
WAYS pays TO keep ones powder
dry.
'Is that an expression OF England's
military policy" Lord Kitchener
was asked.
We'll. ] shouldn't put ii that broad
~. England is at peace with all the
world. but peace is to be guarded
Until such time as some international
agreement shall be reached II such
there be. England will, by being ready
at all times. to lend that influence
towards peace. I think that | may
say that in a general way, without
respect to my military position
there
Chief Peace Factor.
Asked what he considered the chiel
factor tending TO international peace
the general replied; Food, | think
food is one of the first. The Panama
canal has come into the list now as
? new factor. The nation whose food
supply is cramped is restless and ir
rifible. n waits to expand II wants
what the other fellow mas. II was q
comfort to my heart as a peace low
ing man. to see broad acres OF food
producing land in this country and e
rear that Canada could duplicate Il
The Panama canal was the best NOV;
America ever made. II viii bring tn,
east and the west closer togethci
and be a big factor. not only in CON
mcrce. but in the cOunirys militar,
future
He characterized the political a.
pect Of the Pacific ocean as q hare
question to answer

would brine forth FOR the Pacific,
he said 1t is gratifying TO u.
that the canal Is being built a
