the South Manchuria Railway, together

no doubt that Japan intends TO MAIN

gress in September. The subject is to
be brought forward by the London
Glass Blowers Society in the form of
the following resolution:
This congress realizing that mill
tarism ana the existence of n regular
standing army constitute a menace to
popular liberty. is Of the opinion that
the time has arrived for the institu-

member, that every man should be

LORD KITCHENER
IN RIGHT PLACE
STRONG MAN NEEDED IN EGYPT
AND HIS APPOINTMENT AS
BRITISH AGENT is
PLEASING.

London, August Except among
Egyptian Nationalists. who, however
have been very quiet of late, the APP
pointment OF Lord Kitchener as Brit
ish Agent in Egypt and the Soudan
has been received with the greatest
enthusiasm. Here in England satisfac-
ton is expressed at the fact that the
Government has at last found some
thing for the greatest British gem
eral to do. something that is consid-
cred worthy Of his talents, while the
British residents in Egypt have re-
ceiyed the news with the greatest de-
light
Although Sir Edward Grey has an
nounced in the House of Commons that
the appointment of Lord Kitchener
does not foreshadow any change in the
Governments policy, there is a feeling,
both here and in Egypt. that if there
Is no change. there will at least be a
different way of carrying out that
policy. Kitchener's reputation gives
the Impcrialist hope that he viii deal
a little more drastically with those
Nationalists, who at the commences
ment of the late Sir Eldon Gorsts
administration, attempted and to some
extent succeeded in stirring up trou-
BILE.
While the Nationalist are quiet and
their leaders disassociate themselves
from all TO be a great deal of smolder-
known to be a great deal of smolder-
ing discomfort. encouraged by the So
ciallst members of parliament. A
strong man. 1t is felt. was needed to
keep this under. and in Kitchener the
people believe they have the man. His
long experience i'm Egypt and the Sou
dan further fits him for the place and
his appointment was doubtless made
with the almost practical certainty
that British prestige would benefit
from his administration. There are
some optimists who believe that this
benefit will spread throughout the
Near East and that with Kitchener
and a strong army I'm Egypt, Britain
Will be able To formulate and carry
out any plans she may have in Tur-
MY sIu ItTShi Ut lIutlIult any

interfere with Englands policy.
Lord Kitchener's full title is Mini
ster Plenpotcntiary and Consul Gen
eral and his salary is $4,000 n year.
In theory he simply acts as the auth
orlzcd exponent OF the views and
wishes Of his Government to the Gov
