or several things that cnt!tIc Earl
Kitchener TO a place IN world his
tory, the most notable is that he
organized the largest volunteer army
the world has ever seen. in the
greatest war of all times,
Within 3 year from the sudden
outbreak OF the European war in
August, 1914. the ranks OF British
fghting men were quadrupled by an
increase from less than one million
to nearly 100000.
All other great powars that enter
ed the war had huge standing armies
and compulsory military service.
Great Britain alone faced the issue
with confidence that It's people would
readily respond TO the call of king
and country without compulsion.
and the precipitous developments
that led TO the war found both the
people and the government unani-
nous in the verdict that Kitchener OF
Khartum was the man TO lead in the
recruiting and organization OF the
necessary army.
II was not sentimental clamor.
Tor though Kitchener was a proven
hero of many campaigns, his person
ality was AZ impanptrablc as harden
ed 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 do,
mains OF the British empire.
BY mere luck Kitchener happened
TO be in England On one Of the COM
paratively rare visits that he had
paid to London during his long
career abroad. when the European
war broke out, He had Just come
home from service as British agent
in Egypt. had accepted an earldom
form King George, and was being
talked OF az viceroy OF India. Within
few hours after England's deClar-
alton Of war. Kitchener was appoint

Immediately took fun charge at the
