Kitchener, Britain's Idol, Has Clay Feet;
Irwin Tells Inside Story ofCabinet Crisis
How the War Secretary
Failed to Make Good on
Ammunition Supplies and,
After the English Fashion,
Was Politely Kicked Up

BY WILL IRWIN.

Copyright. 1915. by IN, New York Tribune
London, May 26.-Events which
would have been of Notwithstanding
Importance a year ago follow each
other so fast in this strange, mad,
tortured Europe that the enormous
ly important has become the COM
monplace. This morning the news
papers announce the personnel Of
the new coalition Cabinet. During
the last week, in short, Britain has
had such a political shaking-up as
she has not known for a century.
Yet in the same week the Germans
have crossed the San and the King
dom of Italy has renounced her old
alliances to enter the war on the
side of France and Great Britain.
One begins to look upon the extraor-
dinary as the commonplace.
| take it that the Cabinet crisis
here-a crisis most vitally important
in the history of this war-has been
pretty thoroughly misunderstood in
the United States. At least, | judge
so from the fragments of editorial
comment telegraphed back from the
American press. The United States
is not to blame. The causes of this
ministerial shake-up have been work
ing underground for six or seven
months, but even many of the best
informed Englishmen have been obli-
vious Of this fact. And when the
storm broke the newspapers here,
what with their jealousies of that
journalist who precipitated it, mud
died rather than cleared up the sit
uatiOn.
Breaking a British God.
Now the British are gradually ad-
justing their point of view and are be-
ginning a little to understand And
the gist of the whole matter is this:
Kitchener Lord Kitchener of Khar-
toum, popular god, has failed to make
good in an important function of his
office. He has been politely decorated
and waited upstairs, after the imme-
mortal British fashion. Only in this
case the thing has not been accom-
plished without some personal bitter

DU POINT STOCK
FOR POLICYHOLDERS
New Owner of Equitable Will
Give Them Long Option
on Morgan Shares.

Policyholders in the Equitable Life
Assurance Society will get a two or
three years option on the Morgan
block of stock recently bought by Gen
eral 7. Coleman du Pont General du
Pont made the announcement last
night. 1t is said he will offer his
stock to policyholders at cost plus
interest on his investment. He de-
clared his intention Of furthering the
naturalization Of the society, on Sat
urdsy.
General du Pont said the voting trus-
tees would hold their positions, he
thought, until next November. 1t is
thought TO be his intention to con-
tinue them in Office. The first trus-
tees we're appointed June IS, 1905, and
in 1910 Lewis Cass Ledyard, Joseph H.
Choate and Morgan j. O'Brien were
chosen by the late J. P. Morgan. Mr..
Morgan did not make the appointment
in June, as he was in Europe, and there
is some doubt as TO when their terms
Will expire.
Whenever their trust may come TO
an end, it is considered l'kely that
General du Pont will continue them in
Office until the policyholders have had
every opportunity to carry out the
naturalization scheme and gain full
control Of their organization. A law
was passed in 1911 to make the mu-
tualiZation of the society possible.
Payment for the stock will be made out
Of the surplus assets of the society.
The State Superintendent Of lnsur-
ance has not yet been informed Of the
transfer of the Equitable stock. James
J. Hoey, his New York representative,
expects to be notified to-day Of Cen
eral du Points intentions.

idols, even when they prove to have
feet Of clay. When they are no longer
to be revered he prefers not to smash
them, but to remove them from the
high affairs to highly decorated side
shrines. And the consequence Of this
rumpus has been that British rage, in
the first flush of the excitement, has
burned most brightly, not against the
idol, but against that irreverent jour
nalist who threw the brick.
To put it in another way: Britain

Ink Singing in Parliament.

have no wish to make odious COM
parisons betWo9n our legislators and
others. but having watched the pro-
ceedings of other parliaments | feel
that we have no reason to fear COM
parison, says NJ A. P. For instance.
I once looked on when the parliament
IN Vienna was in full blast. There
was a party in the state there which
sought to advance its views by Its
members banging the lid of the desk
which each member had before him,
and thus causing an intolarable din.
These gentlemen l venture to describe
as the liddites of the Austrian parlia-
ment Another group attempted to
make it's mark by throwing ink pots
across the chamber. / have done some
lnk-slinging in my time, but the Prov
ess shown by these legislative INK
singers filed me with admiring de-
spair. and I would have called them
the hittites had it not been for the
fact that they often missed. Now such
practices are unknown at Westminster
though it is only fair to acknowledge
that we do not give our members the
opportunity of banging lids or throw
ing ink pots.

Illegal acts: Those acts are illegal,

afraid, is in the position Of a certain
housewife l heard of tie other day
This housewife, strict woman,
said to new maid: I forgot to tell
you, Maude, that if you break any
thing, I'll have to take it out of your
wages
"Eut Maude, wlEm two days had
heartily sickened CT her berth, replied
with merry laugh: Do it, ma'am, do

vase in the parlor, and if you can take
that out of four dollars-for I'm leavin'

DEER AND TROUT ON LINE.
Stories of Remarkable Catches Made
in North Woods.

To kill deer and catch a front at
the same time out-Nimrods Nimrod
and out-Izaa&s Walton. A fisherman
has just done the trick on the Arrow
lakes. The deer weighed 200 poends
and the trout ten. The fisherman was
trolling for trout when several deer
swan past his boat. One was an old
buck and the man managed to catch
hold of him as he was going by
Having no gun, he tried TO Kill the
animal with a clasp knife, says the
Toronto Globe. The buck objected so
strenuously that he got away, swim
ming off with the fishing line upon
his horns. The fisherman bailed out
his boat and started in pursuit. After
two hours rowing he caught up with
the deer, and with oars and knife sue
ceeded in Staying it. While the chase
was proceeding big trout got on TO
the hook and after the deer was safely
landed the fish was secured. 1t is
quite a common occurrence to see
deer swimming in the lakes of British
Columbia, but to capture one and
trout at the same time is infrequent.
Conductor Mckay, of the Nakusp
and SLOGAN branch of the Canadian
Pacific railway, previously held hon
ors in Kootenay for securing a wild
animal in unique fashion. He, while
on a moving train near Nakusp, shot
and killed a big bear, but the Usher
man has put him in the shade. Even
the captain of the Okanagan lake
steamer, who secured an eagle Dy
shooting it from the pilot house, mas
had his fame eclipsed; while Neil
Getthing, who tried to lasso deer
from the deck of the old steamer w.
Hunter on SLOGAN lake, and failed by
horns breath, is quite outdistanced.
The only man who can come near
to the fisherman's record is w. Hail.
of South Vancouver, who few days
ago killed an old bear and three cubs
who were eating his strawberries IN
big patch just outside the city linn
its; but he had no fish with which 70
