Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.
Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta.
toned at Bermuda, is a brother OF
Lord Kitchener, and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered clever sol
dier In England, and at the time of
the war In South Africa 1t was
thought that he would receive an i'm
pOrtant post that would become va
cant. He was passed over and his
brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked
for the reason. 'It should have gone
to my brother" he said. "but If l had
given 1t to him everybody would have
yelled favoritism' at the top of their
voices, so 1 picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at a railway station once
when an old lady rushed in exeitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to know anything about
his visJ" until it finally dawned upon
the staff officer that she had heard Of
the arrival of his brother. He In
formed her that this was only Kitch-
ener that was expected. 'T call it a
shame that this man, whoever he may
be, should be allowed to use Lord
Kitchener's name; the government
ought to do something about IT," she
said, stalking majestically out Of the
station.
