made by either side. In Alsace, how
ever, there began early in the month
an attack against the hills dominating
the valley of the Fecht which led to
two weeks of as fierce a struggle as the
war has seen. In the end the French
forces were victorious. They captured
and held the Lingekopf and the Schratz-
maennele summit.
These positions open the o a to
Colmar and make the German hold on
that region extremely precarious. After

LORD KITCHENER
MISSION To EAST
AN IMPORTANT ONE
HIS VISIT MAY NECESSITATE A
PROLONGED STAY AND HIS
OFFICE MAY BE FILLED BY
ANOTHER.
az ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. THE Post says
that Earl Kitchener secretary for war,
has been entrusted with an important
mission to the Near East and had al
ready departed from Lonron.
1t is generally believed" says the
Post "that Earl Kitchener's business
will necessitate stay so prolonged
that it will be necessary to fill his
place at the war Office before long.
1t is true that he has not resigned,
but the Importance of his present err
rand makes it certain that his resig-
nation is only delayed.
"The suggestion has been made
that Lord Haldone may be brought
back to the war office, but this is
probably unfounded.'
Repetition Of the report that Earl
Kitchener had placed his resignation
as secretary of state for war in the
hands of the king has brought forth
| an authorized categorical statement
to the contrary as follows:
"Not only is it untrue that Earl
Kitchener has resigned, but it is
equally untrue that his lordship ever
rendered his resignation to the king"
According to the Daily Graphic
Earl Kitchener saw the king Thurs
day night, as was announced yester-
day at the kings own request.
| The Graphic, urging the govern
ment not to delay disclosure of the
actual facts, suggests that Lord Der
by, who is now in charge of British
recruiting would make an excellent
war minister.
In an official statements issued in
London yesterday denial was made OF
a report that Field Marshal Kitchen
er had resigned, and it was said Pre-
mier Asquith was in charge of the
war Office during the temporary alb.
sence of the field marshal. This was
the first intimation that the war sec.
rotary had departed from London.
