Depressing Effect.
[By J. W. T. Mason, Written for the
United Press.1
NDW YORK, June 6.-The death of
Lord Kitchener will have q depress-
Ing effect upon the United Kingdom
because of HIS services early In the
war. but Il will not cause . break
down In the management Of Great
Britain's part In the allies campaign.
During tho past year, Lord Kitch-
ener's responsibilities have been
gradually curtailed, until at the time
Of his death he had little control
over the strategy Of war and was en-
gagged almost exclusively in matters
Of organization. The British empire
owes q large debt of gratitude to
LOEQ hlLCNcu0T lOI tu0 Lu6uoT III
which he stimulated recruiting during
the first months Of war. but he was
allowed to take too much power in his
own hand and 1t was this fact that
has been responsible In large measure
for the comparatively small accom-
plishments of the British army since
the battle Of the Marne.
When the war began, Great Britain
was very short Of officers and men,
bers of the general staff in London
were transferred to neld duty. Lord
Kitchener took on his own shoulders
the burden Of directing great Britain's
military strategy as well as the work
OF organizing the empires army.
Both these duties he handled sue
cessfully and with the result Of great
accomplishments. The British army
during the first period of war did not
shine brilliantly. Kitchener was too
greatly burdened with work and also
failed to regard the immense import
ance artillery and heavy shells were
playing in the war. The result was
that the British army did not begin to
have q truly modern equipment until
many months after the outbreak Of
the war. Kitchener had no faults as
minister of war. His genius for or
ganization did immense service for
his country. But when the effort was
made to combine the responsibilities
Of war minister with the work Of the
general staff. the result showed there

pace for tho u y. P. and progressives
by forgetting harmony and going
through on their original schedules.
Both sides today disclaimed any at
tempt to effect a union of forces and
declared there would be no such at
tempt.
The suffrage association expected
to rush this afternoon a resolution
urging the republican party to give
the protecting power and prestige of
your great party platform to the
struggle of women for political lib
erty."
