went into the cell and receiv-
ed Schiller's confession in detail.
Hardly had they finished this docu-
ment when the long-dstance call
came from New York
The voice at the other end was that
of Captain Tunney. His subordinate,
Sergeant Correii, rehearsed the case,
and then Captain Tunney said:
"Get his confession. have him sign
immunity. and then run him out OF the
State as soon as possible.
As a result OF their fears, the Off
cials besought Schiller to sign con-
fession, duplicating others; to waive
extradition and to escape. The Ger
man, still as cool as when he first un-
folded the narrative of his weird sea
exploit, agreed. He signed the con-
fession begged several cigars from
his guards and then told them to
hurry.
The first plan was TO take Schiller
aboard one OF the pilot boats and sail
across the bay to Cape May, ~ J. This
was abandoned through fear OF an at
tack by sea. one of the officials said.
Next Schiller's jailers started for
Harrington, hoping to make connec-
tions with the Old Point Comfort ex-
press. But this plan, too was aban-
doned. and flight across the State, into
. Pennsylvania, was adopted as a las
resort.

The war Secretary left london on No
venber S. 1915. He visited 0alIipoll ana
saionica, where he conferred with the
British and French generals IN charaa on
ems. where he conferred with King Con-
stantine, King of the Heiienes FOR AZ that
time the situation in the Balkans was
looking very black for the Allies and it
was feared Greece might he with the Gem
tral Powers.
Lord Kitchener was grim, laconic man
Of magnificent physique, standing over six
feet His friends always said of him that
he made his way through sheer ability,
having no taste for politics or intrigue.
Kltcheners self.confidence was proverbal
among the British army officers. His re.
torts to the war Office during the Egyptian
campaign, which is considered a perfect
type of military expedition, caused con-
siderable comment at the time. on one
occasion he requested that special kind
of gun be dispatched to his army and
another kind was sent He advised the
War Office to keep it's guns, saying he
could do better by Throwing stones at the
enemy" Instead OF running into-a hornets
nest, he received the guns he wished. The
campaign ended with the recapture OF
Khartum capitol of Sudan, and Kitchener
became a national hero. He was criticised,
however. for the ruthlessness of his cam
paign.
Lord Kitchener paid short visit to this
country in 1910. on a trip around the world.
At that time It was reported that he was a
woman hater." He never married, but de-
MED It was because he was woman
hater." He did not believe that man
could be good soldier and good husband
at the same time. He was welded to the
army,
Much interest was aroused last December
when n report came from London saying
that on excellent authority" II had been
learned that Lord Kitchener's engagement
to the Dowager Countess OF Mimic would be
announced shortly 1t was never confirmed
The Countess, whose late husband was
viceroy of India, IL a gifted writer and a
sportswoman. She visited this country in
1908 and was extensively entertained.

PLACE CAN BE FILLED

Englshmen in the city, although they
regret the loss of the Kitchener party as
unfortunate, do not regard 1t as disastrous
to the British cause in the war Hugh
Ford, acting British consul-general for
Philadelphia, had no official word OF
I<itcheners death. but he believed the dis
patches relating to 1t were authentic. The
general opinion among ex-Englsh and those
who still retain their allegiance is that
Kitchener can be replaced and that the
conduct of the war will not be materially
altered by his death.
'Kitchener was on his way TO Russia;
knew that" said Mr., Ford.
What the effect will be | am not at
liberty TO say"
William Cox, president of the Society OF
the Sons of st. George. club OF English
men, most Of whom have become American
citizens, would not believe the report, but
did not consider the loss of the British
war lord a disaster even IL the report We're
true Mr.. Cox is an American citizen. He
would not discuss the situation growing out
OF Kltcheners death, beyond quoting Napo-
Icons words, "No man is Indispensable"

aster TO the English people" Samuel Vau-

writer's on military affairs in the world.
