Berlin Newspapers Praise
Lord Kitchener's Ability

BERLIN, June s.-The newspapers de-
vote much space TO Lord Kitchener.
whom they generally acknowledge to
have been an organizer OF the greatest
ability. But there seems to be no dis
position to exaggerate the Importance
OF his death or TO base particular
hopes thereon.
The Lokalanzeiger. commenting rather
bitterly, declares that Lord Kitchener's
wars were mainly won against spear
men and half-naked wild peoples, and
that the Boer war was really won by
interning women and children and per-
hitting thousands to die.
The other newspapers. however. for
the most part refrain from attacking
Germany's dead opponent.
The Taglishe Rundschau openly con-
fesses to dislike. but also Arbitration.
for Lord Kitchener. saying:
He was an honorable enemy. He
never visited Germany to admire our
philosophy and maneuvers. He never
dripped with honeyed phrases about a
IMPROVEMENT and never pretended TO
love U.S. We thank him In death for
that. He was a brutal man. but he
was a man."
