at the Secretary's DON to-day when
peers OF the realm, Generals, subal-
terms and mere civilians silently came IN
with Ill suppressed tears and asked II
there was any word Of Lord Kitchener
The correspondent stood In the room
that Was kitcheners. that big room ON
the first Moor OF the Var ONCE with his
mahogany desk and the war council
table where he sat. like a company chair
man. drawing out from his fellow direc-
tors their views and crisply expressing,
his own. As chairman OF a board OF d.
%rectors. the correspondent was told, Lord
Kitchener would have been the greatest
success in the world.
Definite. businesslike. considerable, con-
ciliatory, he was a born diplomat. and
those of the diplomatic world held him
In the highest esteem. Never a foreigner,
whether Russian. Serb or Chinaman,
came to see him but Lord Kitchener In.
stinctively appraised him n addressed
him properly. Perhaps no Englishman
knew French as he did. He not only
spoke n wrote but thought French.
His personality dominated alien races,
perhaps. In "A greater measure than IL
did his own people.
Realised German Power.
Regarding the war Lord Kitchener
was perhaps the one mar in England
who did not underestimate the enemy.
Three years" he said at the begin
ming. His mind was in the future ard
IN the light OF what happened his speech
In the House Of Lords in August, 1914
was singularly prophetic when he ,ndi.
rectly suggested In yelled words even
then the possibility of conscription.
At the War Office Lord K%itchener's
wac was not to figure on "What men
are needed this year'" but what vii,
we need next year"
As for work. he was a giutton. When
he first took on the post n majority OF
those familiar with the War Office were
sent with the expeditionary force. Lord
Kitchener. who did not know the War
Nice really well-and very little more
about England-was Obliged to deal
with the task. assisted by people who
knew as little about the War Office rs
he. At the beginning he was necessarily
Obliged TO devote considerable time tC
details, but he soon got rid OF this.
His work from the beginning OF ,hc
war until his last leaving OF the ofics
began between five minutes past to halt
past 2 o'clock in the morning. TIL,
story of his ordering a bed placed IL

it is one of the best country news

there is nothing to do till he has all

Firebaugh is a Booster

A. D. Firebaugh, one of the pro-
gressive farmers near this city and a
recent arrival from Iowa, says the
Morris merchants are on the right
track with their program for a pay
up week and he hopes everybody will
get busy during the week of February
Fl to &c. Mr.. Firebaugh has had a
few reverses since he came to Stevens
county but he expected them for he is
gradually changing his farm from
grain to live stock, corn and alfalfa,
but when he has completed his pro-
gram he looks for prosperity and a re-
endorsement of his temporary loses.
"This is great country and I know l
am going to win,'' say Mr.. Fire
baugh.
And Mr.. Firebaugh has decided not
to wait till pay-Up week to pass pros
perity around. Last week he came
to Morris and cleaned up on lot of
small accounts in order that the money
will be handy for the other fellow
when PayUp Week rolls around.
Among the first places he visited was
The Tribune Office where he made the

DAYS Grow Longer

The days are getting longer ac-
cording to Id: Trip who is an
authority on the seasons as we'll as
all kinds of farm implements. Mr..
Trip observes that today is exactly
three minutes longer than yesterday
which was two minutes longer than
Wednesday. Contrary to the belief of
many, the day does not begin to
lengthen at both ends after December
%, the "shortest day." 1t has been
lengthening in the evening since De-
cember Is but the morning end grew
shorter for couple of, weeks after
the 22nd, but not fast enough to affect
the gain on the evening end, MINI.
According to ground hog weather
lore Morris is to have a six weeks

Sanford Dodge Coming

Members of the Sanford Dodge
Company who will appear here in the
forth coming production of The ''Mer
chant of Venice" are not an amateur
organization but we'll balanced COM
pany of professional actors. Some of
the principals are as follows:
Mr.. Sanford Dodge himself for
twenty successive seasons recognized
star in Shakespearean Classic, and
Romantic and high class modern plays.
To enumerate all the great roles that
he has made a distinguished success
of would be to call to mind the names
of nearly all the great dramatic mast
erpieces.
Miss Adele Nickerson, leading lady
is graduate from the Emerson school
of oratory and acting, of Boston, and
now after eight years of experience in
such roles as Juliet, Lady Macbeth,
Desdemona, Faustina Roselie Event
ural, Marguerite, and others of the
same exacting nature, she is espe-
cially we'll qualified to give finished
portrayal of Portia. Miss Henrietta
Henricks, sister of Amanda Hen
ricks, the famous star, gained her ex-
perience in the metropolitan theatres
of New York and Chicago and makes
an ideal Jessica.
Mr.. George Haldenby, leading sup
port for Forbes Robertson, will appear
as Bassanio. Mr.. Leonard Carey of
London, England, will play Antonio,
and all other roles are in competent
hands, thus insuring a splendid per-
Torrance of this wonderful play.
