London, June 2lst.-In moving u resolu-
ton author z;ng the erection of a memorial
10 tile late Field Marshal Eur! Kitchener,
Ca of publ c funds, with an user ption tx-
pressing The admiration of the House of
Commons for his illu4trious career and graft
tuie for bis services, Mr.. Asqaith, III the
House OF Commons to-day, recalled the re-
cent meeting of Lord Kitchener with mem
bers of the House which ended III the Field
Marshal and his MIST persistent and lrrecon-
c,iab!e critics parting on terms Of mutual
respect. When Lord Kitchener said fare
well to hin after nearly two years of inter
course through all the strain Of the war, con
tinued the Premier, there was no thought of
anything more than a lie rporary parting, no
foreshadowing of "a separation which neither
time nor space could bridge. "Providence",
said Mr.. Asquilh, ''was preparing for him q
suddan relief from the burden Of care and
tod, and we Who shared his councils in the
greatest emergency OF our time can only bow
our heads before the Supreme Will" Re-
viewing Lord kitchener's career, Mr.. A>quith
sad his name was associated inseparably
with that of Lord Cromrr in one of the
greatest achievements of the time, the emen-
cipatlon and regeneration Of Egyp'. From
Egypt, the Premier went on, Lord Kitchener
was called TO cope with Il great Imperial emer-
gency III South Africa, where III due time he
brought hostilities to a close aud helped lay
the foundation of that great and rapidly
consolidating fabric which has welded alien
ated races and given The great conflict of
to-day All example of he services which local
autonomy could reuder to Imperial strength.
In the next stage, he constituted aud re-
organized the Armies, native and British of
ludIa. and on being recalled to Egypt he
was displaying the same gifts in civil admin
~iStlation that he had shown in his military
career when the present War broke out. He
brought 10 his new task, said the Premier,
the same sleepless energy, rare resources
and masterful personality which never
fuied him. I will say this, few men have
less re sou to shrink from submitting their
lives to the pure eye aud perfect wisdom
Of III all-iudgiug God. The resolution
for the Kitchener Memorial was agreed to,
Mr.. Bonar Law seconded the resolution,
emphasizing the fact that Lord Kitchener
had the fullest conf lence OF the country,
nl,ting that now that be had fallen it was
Tor those who remnined to work with the
single purpose Of securing the victory III the
ultimate attainment Of which Lord Kitchener
had never failed to believe. IL beh,lt of
labour men, AIR. George J. Wardle paid tri-
bnies to the dead soldier who, he said, had
confidence in lnbour and in whom Inbour
believed most firmly. II toward he last his
policy had not run on exactly similar lines 70
those of labour, added the Member, that did
hot diminish It's respect for and belief III him.
Labour, he declared, had lost a great leader
whom it would be very difficult to replace.
