Who Could Do
Hard Things

OF several things that entitle Earl
Kitchener to place in world history,
the most notable is that he organized
the largest volunteer army the world
has ever seen, in the greatest war OF
oil times.
Within year from the sudden out.
break of the European war in August
1914 the; ranks OF British fighting men

less than one million to nearly .000,.

All other Great Powers that entered
the war had huge standing armies and
compulsory military service. Great
Britain alone faced the issue with con.
fldence that its people would readily
respond to the call OF iKng and country
without compuision, and the precipi.
tous developments that led to the war
found beth the people and the govern.
ment unanimous In the verdict that
Kitchener Of Khartum was the man to
lead IN theireeruiting and organization
OF the necessary army.

was as impenetrable as hardened steel,
and he was not a hero that could be
loved; even the War Office had no
pronounced liking for him, but on all
sides there was profound respect for
his military efficiency and for all he
had done to extend the domains Of the
British Empire.
By mere luck Kitchener happened
to beitn England on ,one.of the com.
paratively rare visits that he had paid
to London during his carer abroad,
when the European war broke out. He
had Just come home from service as
British agent in Egypt, had accepted
an Earldom from King George, and
was being talked OF as Viceroy Of In.

lands declaration Of war, Kitchener
was appointed Secretary Of State for
War and Immediately took full charge
at the War Office where he worked
day aud night to, overcome the handi.
cap which the Central Powers had oy.

He grimly told the British people
they had a bigger war on their hands
than they realized, and one that might

final romp together last night In the
auditorium OF the school, when the
class exercises were held. The audi.
torium was filled with admiring rela.

and all and sundry were kept interest
ed every minute Of the time the en-.
tertainment lasted with one Of the
most unique and interesting pro.
grams ever given by a High school
graduating class.
The exercises began promptly at
S:15 when the members Of the class
filed into their accustomed seats in
the center Of the auditorium and then
marched onto the stage as they sang
"Fairyland Waltz" n
The first number on the program
was the presentation by Miss May
Hawkins Of the class history. This
was made part of the four volume
history OF Marion county which has
been compiled by the members OF the
class under the direction of the fac.
ulty. A complete copy Of this his
tory was presented to the school II.
brary by Miss Hawkins.
Then followed one OF. the amusing
features of the evening, the reading
Of the class will by Sidney Levin. Mr..
Levin impersonated an old fashioned
Justice OF the Peace in the act of
reading a testament, but the scroll
from which he read testified to the
esteem In which the members of the
class held the faculty and expressed
regret at the fact that the students
were about to leave the precincts
they love SO well.
The class prophesy was popu-

members OF the class and their spon-

some being captains, governors, law.
