When the news was flashed around
the world that Emperor William, OF
Germany, was determined to stand
behind Emperor Francis Joseph. OF
following the lat
ter's declaration of war against Ser
via, ali knew that France. Russia and
England, and perhaps many other
powers, would be drawn into the Eu-
ropean trouble. The burning question
In England was to ascertain the tden-
tity of the man best equipped to take
charge of the army in the pending
crisis. One meeting of the cabinet
was sufficient to prove that the name
of Kitchener stood pre-eminent above
all others In the United Kingdom. He
was a man who had achieved in the
and in the full flush OF his splendid
manhood, none other would be con-
sidered as long as there was pos
sibi1ity of Inducing him to accept the
war portfolio.
The Son OF A Soldier.
OF course there was no hesitancy on
his part. for Kitchener. the son of a
soldier, has been soldier since he
was big enough to crawl, and orders
are orders no matter what personal
sacrifice he might have to make to
execute them. When this new and
important honor was thrust upon him
he was on his way to Egypt, there
to assume the role of Sirdar and again
take under his control a land for
which he had fought and bled when
as its territorial ruler he had brought
order out of chaos. He returned to
England forthwith and before the
stolid Britons had time to realize that
he was among them he had his mobil-
ization scheme well under way, and
troops actually on their way to the
seat of trouble.

century to complete the work. The
great wall still pierced by the seven
historic gates existed more or less
down to the time OF Waterloo.
Charles v did much for the city
when he improved the water supply
of the city and established a sort of
system of sanitation. He also built
the fine cour des Battles. the Court

many famous Rubens pictures were
