.HON0Rs A SOLDIER
King George Made Kitchener
Coronation Constable.
intrepid General, Who Achieved I'M
perishabIe Renown In the Sudan
and Who Brought 6oer
War to q Close.

London-A rich honor was be-
slowed upon Lord Kitchener-that of
being named by King George of Eng
land, lord high constable during the
coronation ceremonies. The selection
was equivalent to declaring him to be
England's greatest living soldier.
Kitchener Is a remarkable man
silent. inscrutable, detesting publicity
and, it Is said, women, and loving
work. He is relentless and efficient
machine. After his famous campaign
in the Sudan the British dubbed him
kitchener Of Khartum."
Kitchener's training for the work he
had to do in the Sudan could not have
been better. He was graduated from
Woolwich and entered the engineers
in 1871. For brief time he served
with the French forces during the
Franco Prussian war. He was wound
ed and retired, devoting the next
twelve years to surveying and map
making in Palestine and to gaining
proficiency in the eastern tongues-a
proficiency which was later of the
greatest service to him. For time he
served &c British consul in Asia
Minor, but on the outbreak of the
Egyptian war of 1883 he entered the
English army and rose rapidly in rank
until he was made sirdar, or COM
mander of the Egyptian forces, with
the British rank of major general. Dur
Ing this period his mind ran steadily
on the project of recovering the lost
provinces of upper Egypt, which had
been under Mahdist rule since the
disastrous outcome of the campaign of
1883.
By 1896 everything was ready for
the expedition. Kitchener knew that
the task which he had set himself was
no pleasant junket in the desert. The
followers of the now dead Mahdi, swol-
len by their former success. held the
English arms in contempt.
The first overwhelming defeat of the
native forces came at Omdurman. 1t
was there that Kitchener's admirable
fighting machine, the organization of
which has cost him sleepless nights
and the most anxious concern, was
put to the crucial test. And it was
not found wanting Even the
Egyptian forces were models of steadi-
ness. Again and again the half-mad-
dened dervish warriors threw them
selves upon the native wing Of the
British army, seeking to crush their

The woman thereupon swiftly made

agency to leave the country. She

only to rally and return to the on

Twenty thousand Mahdists were left
slain on the field. No quarter was

more terrible than sound one. He
seeks to give death in accepting 1t.
No undisciplined mob could stand in
the face of such slaughter. Panic
ensued. The British arms were vic

Then Kitchener pressed on to Khar-
tum, leaving the enemy no time to re-
cover Its lost confidence. Everybody
remembers the outcome. The success
of the British expedition brought
Kitchener Tame, peerage and mod
