services early In the war. but II will not
cause a breakdown in the management
of Great Britains part in the Allies CAM
paign
During the past year Lord Kitchener's s
responsibilities have been gradually cur
tailed. until at the time of his death he
had little control over strategy of the war
and was engaged almost exclusively in
matters of organization.
The British Empire owes a large debt
of gratitude to Lord Kitchener for the
manner in which he stimulated recruiting
during the first months of the war, but
he was allowed to take too much power in
his own hands, and II was this fact that
has been responsible in a large measure
for the comparatively small accomplish
ments of the British army since the battle
OF the Marne.
When the war began, Great Britain was
very short of officers, and the members of
the General STAFF i'm London were trans
ferred to field duty. Lord Kitchener took
on his own shoulders the burden of direct
Ing Great Britain's military strategy as
well as the work OF organizing the Empires
volunteer army. No man could do both
these duties successfully. and the result
was that in strategic accomplishments the
British army, during the first period of the
war, did not shine brilliantly.
Kitchener too, greatly burdened with
work, also failed to realize the immense
playing in the war. The result was that
the British army did not begin to have
truly modern equipment until many months
after the outbreak of the war.
Kitchener had no faults as Minister of
War His genius for organization did i'm
mense service for his country. But when
the effort was made to combine the re-
sponslblities of War Minister with the
work of the general staff, the result showed
that there is a limit to human endurance
beyond which even a man of Kitcheners
iron character must not trespass.
Lord Kitchener was one of the great
personalities OF the war and the affection
of the British people for him was unique.
His title of Kitchener of Khartoum was
abbreviated into TX. Of H." while to the
man In the street he was known as good
old Kitchener"
Popular trust In him was based on the
fact that he personifed to the British peo-
pie all the tenacity and bulldog stubborn
ness Of their race.

ALTER SERVICE
OF EP|SCQPAl|AN
PRAYER BOOKS ARE ALSO TO BE
REVISED AND EN-
RICHED.

ST. LOUIS. Oct 19.-Line by line
the 612 clergymen and laymen COM
posing the house of deputies of the
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church are going over their
prayer books in an attempt to revise
and enrich it to meet the demands
for greater freedom in the service.
Discussion of the enrichment by the
addition of new prayers was on the
calender today, the fourth day on
which the house met as a committee
of the whole to consider the report
of the commission on the prayer
book Thet proposed changes are tech
nical Some deputies fear any scheme
for revision might involve doctrinal
changes.
1t is expected recommendations of
the comm ssion to correct mistransla-
tions of Holy Scripture will be dis
cussed. One proposal is to change
the word "damnation' in several col
lects to condemnation.
Another step toward simplification
of church service was taken when ap-
pointment of a committee to draft a
simple manual of church service for
use in parishes in which there are
members of unlettered and foreign
born persons, was announced in the
house Of deputies.
A proposal to amend the church
constitution to authorize the creation
of dioceses of negro churches under
negro bishops and to remove negro
parishes from the supervision of the
present white diocesan heads is pend
ing IN the house of bishops. 1t was
expected final action would be an
nounced today
The upper body also has before it
proposal to prohibit remarriage in
the church of divorced persons, which
was rejected last week by the house
of deputies. The Rev. Samuel Hart,
secretary of the house of bishops,
said that should the upper house ap.
prove the proposition it would again

Carefully With All the Details

German Newspapers Say the
Arming OF English Merchant

ty TO the Submarine-Situa-
ton Regarded as Serious.

BERLIN, Tuesday, oct 17.(via
London, oct. 9).-tDelayed.) THE
Kriegs Hetung the evening edition of
the Lokal Anzeigor. publishes a re-
port that the British have ordered the
arming of all merchantmen and saws
that as result Germany may be
forced to take up sharper subma-
rine campaign, with consequent en-
dangerment CT German.American
relations. It continues:
'If it is true that England actually
intends to arm all its merchantmen
with heavy and, therefore, farsearry-
ing guns and thus label them plainly
as warships as intended for attack, it
cannot be avoided that, whether we
wish to or not, we must give
sharper tendency to our submarine
campaign"
I'VE wonder whether it is not Eng
lands precise intention the Kriegs
Heitung continues, "to bring us into
diff culties with other powers, par
ticularly America by its new meas
ures. Americas answer regarding the
admissibility of submarines to neutral
harbors and waters was. of course to
be expected. America. which in the
future intends to give wide play to
the submarines in its own navy, could
not possibly tie its hands by establish
ing important precedents
Whether the United States, with
its conception of submarine warfare,
would adopt any other conception and
in case of intensification of our naval
warfare with England would relax it's
is an open question. It is
probable, however, that # we desire
to adapt our method of warfare to the
situation created by the arming of
British merchantmen we shall have
to go over carefully with the govern
ment Of the United States all the pos
sbiities of the newly created situa-
ton. For We may accept this much
as now certain Aside from a few
jingoes and shOuters who would in
Vo've America in the war at any pr'ce,
the American people would dislike
most greatly to have the submarine
question lead to a new dispute be-
tween Germany and America"

ROBBED A TRAIN
TOOK TO AUTOS
POSSE is HUNTING SIX BANDITS
WHO KILLED TWO WHILE
ROBEING TRAIN.

BLISS, Okla, Oct. 19.-Ranchmen
| from several counties, reinforced by
deputy sheriffs, waited today for
scme sign Of activity from the ra-
ne where it was believed the men
who last night robbed Atchison, To-
pcka and Santa Zee Express No. 405
had taken refuge.
Whether or not the robbers are
supplied with stolen funds to assist
in their escape, should they evade
their pursuers, will not be known un-
til the contents of the express and
mail cars, ransacked by them have
been checked officially Perry Nor
man, express messenger, was killed
by the robbers when he showed signs
Of flight. The express safe was de-
molished by an overcharge of ex-
plcsive SO that much of its contents
was destroyed. 1t was sad the
bandits obtained $4,000 but this was
based on conjecture.
Six men participated in the rob
berry. They tagged the train at a
desoIate spot north of Bliss on the
101 ranch.
The robbers worked briskly. Two
guarded the trainmen. who had been
forced to uncouple the engine, ex-
press and mail cars and run them a
short distance down the track. Two
others stood guard at the rear car,
while the remaining two attended to
the safes. Their work completed,
the outlaws fled IN automobiles.

Germans are determined to make

length of the Roumanian frontier in
