 If the scheme of getting recruits by groups had been in existence before the war, continued Lord Derby, the details could have been fought out As it was, the government had to get men while the organization was being prepared He was certain that in good time they would get all the single men but unless the married men came for ward there might be a shortage which might be absolutely fatal

BEARING MILITARY LEADER
ON MISSION TO czAR.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.


London, June THE news that
Earl Kitchener, secretary of state for
war, and his staff, who were proceed.
ing to Russia aboard the cruiser
Hampshire. were lost off the Orkney
islands, was the most stunning blow
Great Britain has received since the
war began. This is the second shock
the country has sustained within q
week. The other was when the news.
papers appeared June with the first
intelligence of the naval battle in the
North sea in the form of a list OF
ships lost. with virtually no intima.
tion that there was any compensation
in the way of enemy losses. The bull
letin telling of the death of Kitchener
gave the country even a greater
shock
In connection with suggestions that
information of Earl Kitchener's move
ments may have been conveyed to the
Germans by spies, it is interesting to
note that the Official Gazette con-
tanned an order placing new restric-
tions on passengers landing at ports
in the Orkney islands. Henceforth
no person may land at such ports
without specific permission of the mil
itary authorities at Kirkwall.
Kitchener was the one outstanding
personality whom the people talked of
and believed in as great man,
Notwithstanding newspaper attacks.
which at former period of the war
threatened to undermine his popular
ity and the public confidence in him.
Admiral Jellicoe's report to the Ad-
miralty follows:
Il have to report with deep regret
that His Majesty's ship Hampshire,
Capt. Herbert J. Savill, R. NJ. with
board, was sunk last night at about S
p. H., to the west of the Orkneys, Ell
ther by mine or a torpedo. Four
boats were seen by observers on shore
to leave the ship. The wind was north
northwest, and heavy seas were run
ming Patrol vessels and destroyers
at once proceeded to the spot and a
party was sent along the coast to
search, but only some bodies and a
capsized boat have been found up to
the present. AS the whole shore has
been searched from the seaward,
greatly fear that there is little hope
of there being any survivors. No re-
port has yet been received from the
search party on shore. H.M.S. Hamp
shire was on her way to Russia"
Earl Kitchener was appointed Sec
retary of state for war on August 8,
1914, few days after Great Britain's
declaration of war on Germany. He
was regarded as England's greatest
soldier and the decision of the gov
ernment to entrust him with supreme
direction of the war was received
with unanimous approval.
