London, June Earl Kitchener's s
conference on Friday with members OF
the house of commons, when he ex-
planned confidentially the military
situation, was a remarkable incident.
Two hundred members gathered TO
talk with him. Extraordinary precau-
tions were taken to keep outsiders
from the precincts of Westminster
palace.
Earl Kitchener generally made rath-
err q. poor impression as a speaker,
since he always read his statements
from manuscript and did not talk in
an effectiye way. On this occasion,
however, he conversed freely with the
members. answering questions from
some critics who showed considerable
bias.
After leaving the conference, some
of the members declared their Judg-
ment of Earl Kitcheners work had
been enhanced by his explanations.
The proceedings were closed with the
unusual formality of a vote of thanks.
The English undoubtedly are a
stole people and have taken the good
and bad tidings of the war as they
came with an absence of emotion sur
nrising to outsiders. But no one could
have walked the streets today without
nerceiving that something which the
common Seople took as calamity had
befallen them.
The foreign Office was saddened by
the loss of one of it's most valued mem
hers. Hugh James O'Beirne; while
Sir Frederick Donaldson and Briga-
dier Eller Shaw of the ministry Of
munitions were known to be men
whom the nation could little afford
to lose.
The fact that the cruiser Hampshire
with between 200 and 800 men, had
sunk was generally accepted simply
as an unfortunate detail in these days
when a thousand go under almost as
an incident of warfare. and the Can
adams battle gets a scant column in
the newspapers.
The king came from Windsor and
sent for Premier Asquith when he
heard the news. The war council held
long session. Naturally speculation
regarding Kitchener's successor began
Immediately Among those discussed
were David Lloyd George. Lord Derby
and the chief Of the imperial staff.
Sir William Robertson But whether
a military man or a civilian will take
the war office has not been decided.

Chicago, June 7. - Limited selling
pressure and liberal covering move
ment by shorts advanced grain prices
yesterday and the close was at about
the best. Wheat traders put bullish
construction on most of the news.
The markets action almost from the
start showed that it had been over
sold and the surplus had been taken
out of the pit. At no time was selling
pressure important, while buying was
of a good class Cold wet weather was
regarded by some trader as unfavor-
able. Damage by Hessian fly in one
quarter Of the acreage in Kansas was
reported from Hutchinson, and claims
that the grain was falling fast served
as a bullish influence. Corn bulls
worked on the theory that the weather
was too wet and cold for corn to make
good progress and numerous reports of
replanting were circulated. Export
