Call Session of Councii.

London, June 7.-When the news
of the sinking of the cruiser Hamp-
shire, with Earl Kitchener and his
staff on board, was received in Lon
don, a meeting Of the British wal
council was Immediately called. SiI
William Robertson, chief of the impe-
rial staff, who probably will become
the head of the war office; Sir Ed
ward Grey, secretary for foreign at
fairs; Reginald McKenna, chancellor
Of the exchequer, and David Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, were
present at the council.
The newspaper reporters at the wal
office, who at the time had not heare
the news regarding Earl Kitchener
snnounced:
"Neither Earl Kitchener nor Pre-
mier Asquith was present"

in South Africa, aided by Cana
dian, Colonel Percy Girourard, took
over the handling of the British
forces under Lord Roberts, and SC
great was his grasp of detail that
he won from the British people the
title "organizer of victory" From
1900 to 1903 Kitchener was comman-
der-in-chief, was raised to the Wis
county, again received the thanks OF
parliament and was given a further
grant of s250,0OO.
When the present European war be-
gan, Kitchener rose to the height OF
his fame. The very day after wal
was declared between Germany and
England the "Iron Man" was taken
from the head of the army and at
once made secretary for war. He cap
tured the imagination of the country
when he at once had bed set up in
his office and announced that he pro-
posed to remain there and work twen-
ty-four hours day. Throughout the
earlier stages of the war Kitchener
was the one man IN England who set
his face grimly to the work Of prep
aration. He declared early in the
struggle that it would last at least
three years and, losing no time, at
once started to raise the first million
of British volunteers who from the
first were dubbed "Kitchener's ar
N.Y."
Considerable criticism was leveled
at Kitchener when the British land
and naval forces failed to smash the
Turkish defenses ct Gallipoli, and the
war secretary personally left London
in November, 1915, and visited CALI
poll and Salonika, with the result that
the British and French troops were
withdrawn from the disastrous Dar-
danelles venture and removed to the
Greek port, where they now menace
the Teuton flank.
When there was danger that Greece,
by the occupation of Salonika,
would join the German cause, Kitch-
ener went to Athens, where he con-
ferred at length with King Constan-
tine. The result was that Greece re-
manned neutral and acquiesced in the
British-Fren occupation of its prin-
cipal Balkan port.

gineers in 1871, rising to the rank
of major general in 1891. He was
chief of staff of the forces in South
Africa from 1899 to 900.
Kitchener had been secretary OF
state for war for England since 1914
Next to the late Lord Roberts, Earl
Kitchener was Britain's military idol
end. since the deadth of the beloved
"Bob" at the French front, tx. of X
lad stood practically alone at the
head of the roster of great military
leaders under the Union Jack. His
death by a German mine or subma-
rine is the hardest single blow Brit
ain has received Since the war began.
Next to the Kaiser, he was the most
conspicuous figure in the war.
Kitchener's life was one long devo-
ton to duty as military man. He
was rated among the British as almost
superman, and his inflexible, silent
determination won him the reputation
of being a veritable man of iron.
Fighting from his youth in every one
of Britain's wars, Kitchener developed
genius for organization probably
second to none of any commander in
history. His labors in reorganizing
Egypt, where from 1888 to 1892 he
was adjutant general of the forces
and, later, sirdar, won him hundred
medals and clasps, and when he
avenged Gordon at Khartum he was
given the public thanks of parliament,
a grant of S15O,00O and was raised
to the peerage.
