London, June 6.-Earl Kit
chener, British minister of war
and his staff were on board the
British cruiser Hampshire
which struck a mine or was tor
pedoed west of the Orkneys,
and sunk, according to a state
ment from Admiral Jellicoe to
the admiralty. 1t is feared that
all on board were lost.
Four boats were seen to
leave the Hampshire, but a
heavy sea was running. Only
a capsized boat and some
bodies have been found.
Admiral Jellicoe reports
that there is little hope for any
survivors.
Lord Kitchener was en- route
to Russia. No intimation had
been published that Kitchen
er intended to leave England.
1t was officially announced by
the Admiralty that Kitchener
and his staff were en- route to
Russia on the Hampshire, tax
ing the northern route west OF
the Orkneys, where the ship
was sunk off the north coast
of Scotland.
Admiral Jellicoe's official re-
port to the admiralty said the
Ship was sunk by either mine
or torpedo about eight o'clock
last night.
Observers on shore saw four
boats leave thes hip, but heavy
seas were running and the
boats were capsized. Patrol
vessels along the coast at once
proceeded to the spot but only
a few bodies and some wreck
age was found.
"The whole shore is being
searched" the admiral said in
his report. 81 greatly fear there
is little hope of there being any
survivors,"
No report has yet been re-
ceived from the searching par
ty on shore.
The names of Kitchener's
staff have not been learned.

>the imperial staff, however, is

1908, normally carried 500
men, displaced 10000 tons,
and was $50 feet long.

staff were Hugh James O'Beirne, Tor
mer counsellor of the British embassy
to Petrograd; o. A. Fitzgerald, XII

Sir

ments engaged in the relief Of suf-
fering in the area OF the war. pro-
foundly believe that every possible
persuasion should be brought To

scented. whereby our people shall
respond to this appalling need.
The gifts Of the American people,
while generous and constant are
still incommcnsuratc 10 meet the
demands Of our brehern in dis
trcss, which are constantly incrcas-
ing. and. il should he frankly ad-
mittcd. are as yet by no means pro-
portional to our resources and are
not an adequate expression Of ma
tional unselfishncss.
We. therefore. suggest that in
>your' annual Thanksgiving Procla-
nation, as yorf remind the people to
give thanks for our prosperity and
peace. you invite them. at their re-
spective assemblies on or near
Thanksgiving Day, or in their home
circles. TO remember with sympa-
thy and love the peoples Of the 9TH
or nations 50 grievously afflicted,
and suggest that they make this an
other occasion Ia render their gifts
rs an appropriate expression OF
their thanks 10 Almighty God. the
Father Of all, for another year Of
national well-being.

Hurrah for Woodrow Wilson!

Again the schoolmaser is made President
Woodrow Wilson was not the man the Democrats
desired to put in Office, but he the they felt
most hope of eecng, and in he goes!
Wilson himself has been forced to do bad things
in order to get chance to do some bigger good things.
And he has had scme poor tools in his work But
the whole he has done much more good than harm,
and has shown great ability and great desire to
promote the general welfare that all Americans
give him hearty cheer Let expect that his second
term will be even better than his first.
