Why He Kept Away from Canada.

With regard to Canada it is incouceiv-
able that any OF It's politicians or states
men should have been endowed with such
brief memories as actually to ask. as they
did in Parliament at Ottawa the other dsv.
why Lord Kitchener in crossing this conti-
nent from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast
should have avoided the Dominion and
have remained on the soil ef the United
States. Surely they cannot have forgotten
that when last summer It was proposed bv
the War Department in England thar Lord
Kitchener should on his way back from
Japan TO England spend several weeks In
Canada in careful examination of the
military resources and defences of the d.
Tninion, General ". D. Otter. who is tns
chief of the General Staff of the Dor1init,1

Lord kitchener's visit. declaring that he
was mot wanted in Canada, where his mill

General otter, who is a veteran of every
bit of active service ever seen by Canadian
troops. from the Fenian raid down to tbe
South African war, was not in any wav
repudiated or 6isavowed by the Canadian
government, and in view of the demon
stration on the part of the authorities of
the Dominion that he would not be welcome
there Lord Kitchener naturally stayed
away
That the Canadian authorities in nowise
regret their attitude toward Lord Kitchener
is Shown by the reply of one of the minis
ters to the question addressed to him in
Parliament about the matter. and which
was to the effect that General Sir John
French had been selected TO furnish the
same advice to Canada as that which Lord
Kitchener had given TO Australia. and that
the general was quite as well qualified for
the task as the field ma rs5,s1

In view of the constant interference by

Australia to establish q military academy
on the same lines as that world famed ir

Kitchener warns Australia that any polt

the military colleges in which disciplinary
training forms an important part. and the
efficiency Of which is 50 essential TO the de-
fence of Australia. should be strictly avoid

be fatal TO the success of the projected
academy. Lord Kitchener makes no secret

forces IL British Gominions oversea has
hitherto been the meddling Of politicians in
strictly military affairs. With this canker

no patience.
Lord Kitchener also makes the point in
