ali probability, furthermore, It
never will be. Few bodies we're
washed ashore. owing to the na.
ture of the coast and his was not

"As a final comment on the action
of Sir R. Cooper in proposing a court
martial on the loss of the Hampshire
| should ask whom II would be pos
sible to court-martial? Only an N
Ger is subject to such action and all
the officers on board the Hampshire
lost their lives"
In making his motion for a court
martial. Sir r. Cooper, among Others
had asked the question why arrange
ments were made for a memorial ser
vice in St. Paul's Cathedral within a
few hours after the report had been
received OF the loss of the Hamp-
slhre?"
The implication thrown out in the
question was that insufficient time
had been allowed for full confrma-
ton Of Kitchener's death and that the
report had the color Of prearrange-
ment.

that there was no direct evidence
that Kitchener was dead as a piece
of political chicanery" designed to
draw to himself the attention of his
constituents.
There could be no doubt, Fitzroy
said. that the great field marshal per-
ished along with all other officers on
board the Inflated vessel on the night
she struck a mine.
Vice Consul Fitzroy said he had
personal knowledge OF all the cir
cumstances that followed the first as
