Lord Kitchener Tells England of the New Army to Be Launched Against Germany and Comments the Allies for Their Good Work.

London, Nov. 9.-l1 p.m.-Confi- deuce in tae ultimate success of the 'alhed arms was expressed tonight by Earl Kitchener who pointed out that the great issue at stake, the adyan- tages possessed by the allies in men and material and in that wonderful spirit which mas never understood the meaning of defeat.'
 He spoke at the inaugural banquet of the new lord mayor of London.
 Lord Kitchener praised the terri tolials, particularly the London Scot tish and the East Indians; spoke of the admiration of the British troops
 fer the glorious French army" and said:
 Under the direction of General Joffre, who is not only a great mil- tary leader, but a great man, We may confidently rely upon ultimate success of the allied forces in the western taeater of war"
 He praised the brilliant adership .of Grand Duke Nicho as and also the splendid deeds of the gallant E lgian army and the gallantry of the Japan forces. Continuing Lord Kitchener said.
 The British empire is not figatins for its existence want every c,ti- y.1 e.. for only from clear conception of the vast importance of the issue at stake can come the great national moral impulse without which the gov ernment war ministers or even tseir nayies can do but little We have enormous advantages in our resources of mon and material. and in that won dertu spirit ot ours which has never understood the meaning of q feat.

The introduction of elabO- rate destructive machinery with which our enemies had so amply and carefully supplied themselves has been the subject of much eulogy on the part of military critics, but it lluoL bt lNlllt bNA th lAhN III NAiN iitt'N ter of preparations those who fix be- forGAand the date of 9 war have a considerable advantage over their neighbors,
 50 far as we are concerned we ara clearly open to no similar suspicion. This development of armaments has modified the application of old princi' ples of strategy and tactics and reduc. ed the present warfare 10 something approaching siege operations.
 Our loss in the trenches nave been severe but such casua ties are far from deterring the British nation from seeing the matter through. They will act rather as an incentive to British manhood to prepare them selves to take the places of those who have fallen'
 In paying a tribute to the leadership of Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary force, and ais generals, and to the high efficiency and courage of the army, the war min ister said:
