KING EXPRESSES REGRET
AT DEATH OF KITCHENER
Gives War Secretary Credit for Gre
atIng British Armies.

London, June S.-By the kings con-
mand the following order has been
issued to the army:
1.-The king has learned with pro-
found regret of the disaster whereby
the secretary of state for war lost his
life while proceeding on special mis-
sion to the emperor Of Russia.
Field Marshal Lord Kitchener gave
48 years of distinguished service to
the state, and it is largely due to his
administrative genius and unwearying
energy that the country has been able
TO create and place in the field the ar
mics which today are upholding the
traditional glories of our empire. Lord
Kitchener will be mourned by the
army as a great soldier, who under
conditions of unexampled difficulty,
rendered supreme and devoted service
both to the army and the state.
His majesty, the king, commands
that the officers of the army shall wear
mourning with their uniforms for the
period of one week. Officers are to
wear crepe on the left arm of their
uniform and of great coats"
