lily Associated Press,

| LONDON, July Perhaps none
outside his immediate family was
more grief stricken at the news OF
Lord Kitchener's tragic death than
Queen Alexandra. The attentiveness
of the soldier to the Queen-Mother
had long been notable, and there was
Il very strong bond of sympathy be-
tween these two, undoubtedly two of
the loneliest figures prominent in con.
temporary London.

thetic in the lonely bachelorhood of
the war secretary, who occasionally
to his intimates dropped remarks
bearing on his lack OF home and
near relations. Not week passed
during the war in which he has not
paid visit to Marlborough House,
where he would remain for long
visits with Queen Alexandra, and
come away with long list of those
combatants OF whom her friends had
made special inquiries. However
pressing the demands of the cam.
paigns on the various fronts he
would always return within few
days with the desired information
Lord Kitchener had promised to be
the Queen-Mother's guest during the
coming summer at Sandringham. He
constantly had ladies' to lunch at his
seat in Kent. Broome Hall, near Can
terbury, on Sundays, and would show
them how he was developing his
gardens and dlate to them on the
beauties Of his china Younger wo-
men were conspicuous by their alb
sence at these times. the guests be-
ing chiefly peeresses and experts on
gardening, as well as the wives of
men who had served under him in
various campaigns.
Lord Kitchener was personally well
known to the owners of many of the
more expensive curiosity shops in
London. He would bargain over
purchases. but did not possess the
commercial sense. and in the end
would always pay a good price. usu-
ally on his own initiative. The
dealer generally received check
the day after delivery. the check
being quite often post dated a month
or two.

of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency.
Estabrook's speech before Topeka
audience was a clever, clean-cut and
decisive flaying of the Wilson policies
from tariff to labor disputes. from
rivers and harbors appropriations to
policies in the European war.
Estabrook was sent to Topeka with
the assurance that he was the best the

New York lawyer, but today Esta-

one of the sharpest tongued speakers
who has addressed Kansas audiences
IN recent years. He walked on the
wilson administration as a tarantula
attacks its victim with it's poison sting
There are probably some things about
the Democratic administration that
Estabrook might commend. But in
his zeal and enthusiasm, the New
Yorker could not think of them In
fact, he expressed a patriotic senti-
ment akin to the Wisconsin congress-
man who would willingly stand with
Wilson if Wilson would but stand in
one place long enough.
