BITTER ATTACK
ON KITCHENER
The Daily Mail Alleges War
Secretary Is a
Failure
"AFRICA is
NOT EUROPE"
Hopes He Won't Be Allowed
to Go to the
Front

London, May 22.--The Daily Mail
which Lord Northcliffe runs together with
The Times, continuing its bitter attack
upon Lord Kitchener, yesterday admitted
the great ability he has shown in the
task of raising new troops which was
accomplished as well as it could possibly
have been done, although the paper con-
dennis some of his methods of advertising
for men. 1t objects particularly to the
use of his name instead of the kings III
connection with the new armies, and with
regard to shell supplies it is even more
eondemnatory asserting that Kitchener
has starved the army of high explosive
Shells The article says:
"The admitted fact that Kitchener or
dered the wrong kind OF a shell--the
same kind as was used against the Beers
in l900-has alarmed the whole army in
France, and also the armies of our allies.
He persisted in sending shrapnel, which,
| it is now admitted, is practically use
less weapon in trench warfare, notwith-
standing that he was warned repeatedly
that the kind of shell required was vio-
lently explosive bomb which would dyna
mite its way through the German
trenches and wire entanglements and en-
able men to advance safely. The kind of
shell our poor soldiers have had has
caused the death of thousands"
After brief reference to the rumor of
quarrel between Lord Kitchener and
Field Marshal Sir John French The Mail
proceeds:
Nothing in Kitchener's experience sug
gests that he has the qualifications re-
quired for conducting a European cam
paign in the field. We can only hope
that no such misfortune will befall the
nation as that he will be permitted to
interfere with the actual strategy of the
war. If by any mischance Kitchener
went to France to conduct the campaign
we should probably have costly object
lesson in the difference between European
and African warfare. 1t is to be hoped |
that Kitchener, with proper military as
sistance, will remain in the war office, |
though when compulsory service comes
his sphere of usefulness will be greatly |
diminished. That compulsion is coming |
and coming soon Is proved by the ex-
tremities whereunto Kitchener is now
as shown by his advertisement
urging the enlistment of men of 40.
which we greatly regret having printed,
and which The Vail win decline to print
again, is proof thereof that men of 40
should not be used until the recruiting
powers of the country have been ex-
hausted.
1T is no testimony of Kitchener's or
ganizing ability that this gross unfair
ness should continue. Rather il is an in
location that his life in India and Egypt
have made him unacquainted with Brit
sh conditions. We invite him to take a
Sunday stroll along the streets of Lon
Ion, where he will meet thousands Of
,apable young slackers who are staying
It home"
The Manchester Guardian in a similar
lttack says;
"Kitchener's great name and services
nay well find some other field not less
honorable and leave mis- present post for
man possessing the special gifts which
IN entirely new and uneXampled situa.
ion demands"

MEXICO CITY
IS HUNGRY
A Serious Shortage of Food
There Is Again Re-
ported
COMMITTEE
so ADVISES
Confirmation Comes Of the
Capture of Saltillo---
Two States Cleared

| Washington, May 22-Mexco City
again is facing serious shortage of food
according to advices reaching the STATE
department from the international com
mittee there. Secretary Bryan said rep
reservations had been made to the Car.
rama government at Vera Cruz looking
to the shipment of supplies by rail to
the capital, and that the situation had
been brought to the ..tention of the
American Red Cross.
A summary of news from Mexico, is.
sued by the state department, said the
capture OF Saltillo by Carranza forces
last Sunday had been announced from
Eagle Pass. There is no telegraphic com
muncation with either Monterey or Sal
tillo, and no train service from Piedras
Negras south on account Of burned
bridges. The Carranza agency gave out
cabegram from Vera Cruz denying that
Villa forces had recaptured Panuco. The
message added:
"All oil-producing wells in Tampico, as
well as tanks and pipe lines, have always
been controlled up to date by Carranza
troops. Villistas never controlled Ebano
and during the last engagement loyai
forces had with reactionsries at Ebano
last Monday. they were completely de-
feated. We are progressing rapidly to-
ward Otumba, near Mexico City, where
Carranza troops expect to be SOON"
The British embassy here had been
concerned over reports that Villa con.
trolled territory around some OF the big
oil fields, while the Car
rama forces held the gulf terminals
through which the output has to pass.
Villa troops have evacuated Monterey,
capital of Nuevo Leon, according to a
Carranza announcement. The Carranza
agency made public a telegram from Col
onel FREDERICK Chapa, said to be dAtec
near Monterey. claiming that Monterey
had been evacuated by the Villa forces
and that the latter had fled toward Pare
don. The agency added that the states
81 Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon were now
feared of Villa troops.

The Homes Greatest Need.

The best exposition of the present
day attitude, presented at the last ma
tional conference OF the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, came from I;
farm woman, Mrs. H. M. Dunlap, of tn,
department of domestic science of tn,
Illinois farmers institute.
"The greatest need of the home to day
is an understanding of and cooperation
In the relations that should exist be-
tween men and women in creating a
home.
Cooperation, consideration and the
establishment of the true spirit of part
nershp financially and otherwise are
some of the relations that must exist
if harmony and the true home building
spirit are secured. / shall name briefly
few of the requirements of this great
test need.
First to be considered is the proper
financial relation. No woman should be
expected to work for her board and
clothes, but should have money con-
sideration for her labors in her home.
Second, the husband and wife should
work together for more convenient and
tasteful equipment of the home.
Third, the selection, combination ana
preparation of foods should be a con-
slant study. Ii the members of the
household are to be benefited, an under
standing and cooperation of all members
OF the family group is necessary.
Fourth the training and care of the
children should be a mutual responsible
ity and duty, ever tempered with unself-
ishness and desire for the best interests
of the child.
Fifth, in these days of such varied
amusements to be found outside the
home the parents should study together
how to create proper amusements within
the home Proper amusement is as vital
to the growing child as proper food, and
if he has no opportunity for wholesale
play and recreation at home he is likely
to seek some other kind outside.
Human experiment stations are quite
as essential as experiment stations for
the care and feeding of plants and do
nestle animals. The health habit and
the work habi are two essentials to be |
obtained through our educational train |
ing. Insofar as our educational system |
does not train men and women to meet
their obligations as homemakers in every
detail. it is a failure. We must teach
the essentials of true living. We must
have short courses at our seats of learn
ing for the adult; correspondence courses;
homemakers organized in study clubs;
visiting or expert agricultursts for every
county and city.
Life should be the study Of man, and
all the best of our educational, political,
financial and economic effort of to-day
should be directed toward a more perfect
manhood and womsnhood. Editorial, in
Womans World for June.
