ing to Russia aboard the cruiser

islands. was the most stunning blow
Great Britain has received since the
war began. This is the second shoch
the country has sustained within 0
week. The other was when the news
papers appeared June 3 with the first
intelligence of the naval battle in the
North sea in the form of list ol
ships lost, with virtually no intima
ton that there was any compensation
in the way of enemy losses. The bul
letin telling of the death of Kitchener
gave the country even greater
shock 81
In connection with suggestions that
| information of Earl Kitchener's move
ments may have been conveyed to the
Germans by spies, it is interesting to
note that the Official Gazette con-
tanned an order placing new restric-
tions on passengers landing at ports
in the Orkney islands. Henceforth
no person may land at such ports
without specific permission of the mil
itary authorities at Kirkwall.
