The Fame of Kitchener

Had not an untimely end come to
the life of Lord Kitchener, there is no
doubt but that he would have lived in
the annals of fame as long as any man
in military history.
AS it is there is little question
hut that he was one of the greatest
men the world has known as mill
tary genius.
While he had lost some of his
country's confidence before he went
to his tragic death, it was only tenn
porary and based upon the clamor of
his critics. Under the close analysis
of his deeds, there is no question of
Fosterity ranking him among the i'm
mortals.
While England had swept German
: sails from the seas, her armies in the
present war were really negligible
quantities. They had really never
performed. 1t was not Kitchner's
fault. At the beginning he let Eng
land know that she had grim task
before her. She had no preparation,
and was therefore impotent to do
any fighting on land. He also said
the war would not be won in less
than three years. She could not do
her share.
Then with logged determination he
set to work providing an army and
real materials for war, cannon and
rifles and munitions. How England
worked under the lash of this great
efficiency leader!
Kitchener fought with an iron fist,
determined to prove his country's
cause. The obstacles he found were
many and large. Then criticism
started. The men who know how to
run the government always bob up
at critical periods and play havoc
with men who know.
But the resolute determination Of
Kitchener not to be stampeded was
perhaps the greatest gift any native
son ever offered to England.
When the cry went up of more
men at the western front, Kitchener
would not send them till they were
ready.
Then he got his great 100000
army ready!
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-07-22

the choicest blessings must come.
Nothing is too good for them. Honor
and glory are theirs. They are the
chosen.
But don't busy yourself on the
wrong trail.
lit is eeaish to fight inasirary
enemies as to plant seed on a rock.
If you want to be a real man or
woman, get busy. Get out of the fly
class. Do something. Be worth
while.
In Grantwood there lies a poor "a
year-old boy who has been fiat on his
back for fourteen years. He can
scarcely raise his bony arms to his
face. Yet he can think.
He thought out the way to build a
high school by beating down opposi-
ton to it with his brain.
If an invertebrate can build a
school, a good, healthy, able-bodied
man can do much more.
Be useful. Get out of the class of
the mosquito.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-07-22

And now, after nearly three weeks
of renewed effort under new leader
ship, English troops are once more
taking the aggressive. 1t remains to
be seen how far they will go. Kitch-
ner died before his machine could be
tested.
But at any rate, there is some
cause for England's satisfaction that
Kitchener constructed an army that
had in it the power of attack. If it
fails, it may be because the man who
put it together could not finish the
job. If it succeeds some of the pres
tige England had lost will come back
and the dead cavalier will be given
due credit for his great skill as a
military leader. Selected as his
country's hope, maybe his example
will serve as greater incentive than
if he had lived. Who knows? 1t is
too early to even surmise.

Get Out of the FLY Class

What are you doing for your COM
munity?
Are you alive, or are you just stay
ing in it?
Are you doing anything for it's
benefit, or are you just camping
around?
Are you factor or parasite?
Everyman can best answer these
questions himself.
But answer as he may, he cannot
fool himself or anybody else with the
answer.
In other words, do you justify
yourself by your acts as man worth
while?
Do you justify your life by help
ing the other fellow?
Are you a club worker, a church
worker or a civic welfare worker?
Are you a worker at all?
You make a living, yes. But mos
quitos and flies do that. But they
are not assets to your town.
If you don't do more than earn a
living you are of no value either. You
are in the mosquito and fly class.
If you do nothing after time you
will be swatted like the fly.
There is only one class in the world
worth hill O. beans, those who work.
There is no room for the drone. A
hive of bees push out their drones.
