POLITICIANS ARE HOLDING MANY
 MEETINGS

CHICAGO, June $. - Republican and Progressive leaders held repeated conferences today, discussing plans for an agreement which will be ac- ceptable to the members of both parties.
 Many of the Progressive delegates are insistent upon the nomination of Roosevelt, and it is felt that the only way in which the two parties will get together is for the Republicans to yield in that matter.
 The Republicans are not inclined to accept Roosevelt at this time, as most of them are supporting regular Re publican candidates. It is expected by many, however, that when it mar rows down to two of three candidates, the supporters of the unsuccessful men will switch to Roosevelt and de- mand his nomination as peace mea- sure between the two parties.

LORD KITCHENER IS DROWNED
I l PE TR OCRAD NEW GERMAN
 OBJECTIVE

GENEVA, Switzerland, June 6.-Ac- cording to advices reaching Basel the Germans are preparing a strong naval and military offensive in the Riga re zion of Russion. The ports of Danzig and Koenigsberg are said to have closed to commerce, and ships are be- ing used solely for transporting artil- lery and ammunition under the protec- tion of large German fleet off Libau.
 The Berne Bund says it learns that the Germans have recently completed a new railway running from Libau through Muravievo to Mitau and that endorsements are passing over it. The newspaper says 1t is thought the German navy will attempt to force the Gulf of Riga with a view to an advance on Petrograd.
 The German advance under von Hin denberg, which seriously menaced the capital of the Czar last fall, was halted with the coming of winter.

Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and of Broome, was born June "A, 1850.
 Of several things that entitled Earl Kitchener to a place in world history the most notable is that he organized the largest volunteer army the world has ever seen, in the greatest war of all times.
 Within a year from the sudden out break of the European war in Aug ust, 1914. the ranks of British fight ing men were quadrupled by an in- crease from less than one million to nearly four million.
 All other great powers that entered the war had huge standing armies and compulsory military service. cfeat 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 unanimous in the yer dict that Kitchener of KhartOum was the man to lead in the recruiting and organization fthe necessary army.
 It was not a sentimental clamor, for though Kitchener was proven hero of many campaigns, his personality was as impenetrable as hardened 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 domains of the British empire.
 By mere luck Kitchener happened to be ir England on one of his compara- tiyAy 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 accented an earldom from King George, and was being talked of as viceroy of India. Within a few hours after Englands declaration of war, I.sxehener was appointed secretary of sBe for war, and immediately took full charge at the war office, where he worked day and night to over come the handicap which the central pow ers had over England in the matter of fighting strength.
 He grimly told the British people they had a bigger war on their hands than they realized. and one that might last longer than they expected, but 1t .vgas to he faced with entire confidence End he. unsmiling, almost like de- bumanized machine, set about to make things hum. He had scarcely moved into Whitehall street when he made numerous changes in the per sonnel of the war office. which was

said to be honeycombed with social and political fayoritism.
 After dispatching few hundred thousand regulars to France and Bel gium to help check the onrushing Ger mans, the war secretary began re- cruiting and organizing him army of millions. The British Isles were GOV cred with signs and posters, urging young men to join the colors. Kitch- ener went through the country super intending the drilling of the army. From time to time there were reports indicating his failure to get the number of men wanted. but within year af- ter the war opened Premier Asquith announced in parliament that about 3,000,OO0 men had enlisted in the United Kingdom alone, and almost an other million in the overseas do- miniOns.
