eG owing to a shortage of mpni-
tions and high explosive shells.
A section of the London press
then declared that Kitchener had
made a serious mistake in pro
viding large quantities of shrap-
mel and insufficient high explo-
sives. Newspaper attacks went so
far as to suggest his being dis
placed as war secretary but the
majority Of the papers defended
him. 1t was agreed that the rails
ing of a big army ana supplying
munitions at the same time was too
great a task for one man.. The
discussion developed the forma-
ton of a coalition cabinet and the
creation Of the new portfolio ~
David Lloyd George took charge.
while Kitchener remained as wal
minister.
Without his browning achieve
ments as the great organizer of the
British campaign in the European
war, Kitchener had already won
wide and lasting fame by his many
campaigns in Egypt, South Africa
and in India.
He was born June "a, 1850 in
county Kerry, Ireland, a fact that
gave rise to a general belief that
he was of Irish blood, but his par
ents were of French and English
descent. His father was a soldier,
but of no very high rank. He
had managed to climb to the lieu
tenant colonelcy of a dragon reg
iment, when he retired to the es-
tote in Ireland, where Horatio
Herbert Kitchener, the to be dis
tinguished son, was born.
Young Kitchener received his
fundamental military education at
Woolwich, where he displayed only
ordinary brilliancy, with the ex-
ception Of his liking for mathemat-
les. On graduating he received a
commission in the royal engineers,
but when not yet 81 years of age
he attached himself to a French
army in the Franco-Prussian war.
He had been in the service only
a short time when he contracted
pneumonia during a balloon flight.
and he had such a prolonged and
serious illness that he had to give
up further service for France.
kitchener's experience in European
warfare, prior to his direction of
the great war of 1914, had been
limited only to a few balloon as
c%enCions in France.

THE WAR TO-DAY

The offensive In the Balkans Is
in full swing with Russian troops
arriving in SaIOniki to fight with
the entente forces and Rumania
reported about ready to enter the
war on the side of the allies.
Landing of Italian troops who
are also to take part in the Balkan
operations is continuing. An I'M
official dispatch also reports that
Greek troops have been engaged
with BuIgarians in the vicinity Of
Sores.
Athens advices indicate that Rus
sian troops have been In the Bal

Arrival of the Russians at Sa-
IOniki. together with yesterdays
announcement that Italian troops
had landed there. is another indi-
cation that the allies have decided
to concentrate on this front forces
sufficient for an important CAM

to have captured two forts, while

Guard ON BORDER
SERVING PURPOSE
Secretary Baker in Reply to Letters
Praises Splendid Spirit and
Efficiency of Soldiers.

Washington. Aug 22-Belief Of the
administration that the national guard
on the border still is serving the def
mite purpose of preventing bandit
raids. was evident today in answers
sent by Secretary Baker to persons
who had written suggesting that the
troops be recalled.
The secretary referred to hardships
caused guardsmen and their families
by the enforced stay at the border as
regrettable but necessary accom-
paniment of the service. He explain
ed also that the training would be in
valuable in aiding the men to act as
a second line in war time.
Secretary Bakers letters praised
the spirit and efficiency of the men
and promised that they should be re-
turned, so soon as G restored state of
order on the border justifies it"

PROBE FOR BANKS
LIKELY TO START
Four Russians From Davenport, Iowa,
are Among DepOsitOrs With
Silver & Company.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Federal investi-
cation into the two private banks of
Adolph Silver and company. which
failed to open Saturday. will be made
to ascertain If federal statutes have
been violated, Charles F. Clyne. Uni
ted States district attorney, announced
today after a conference with Judge
Lands of the United States district
court here.
Mr.. CIyne said there were two laws
under which he could start prOsecu-
of assets under the
bankruptcy law and violation of the
postal laws If it were found that de-
posits had been solicited by mail while
the banks were known to have been
insolvent.
Four Russians living in Davenport,
Iowa. came to Chicago today to de-
mand an explanation from the Silvers.
They were astonished when the found
the banks closed. K w Kaprielow,
owner of a foundry near Davenport,
said he had entrusted Silver with $3.50
to forward to his wife in Russia. Sam
pad Khazarow had entrusted the bank
er with $3.50, MegerdicZ GrOgorow with
1858 and Averod Utirtileff with $64.
Utirileff said the amount he asked to
be sent to his wife was for transpor-
tation to this country.
Federal Judge Lands, who appoint
ed the Central Trust company of Hi
nois receiver for the banks, declared
corrupt politics was the cause for fail
ures of private banks, saying it was
the result of corruption in the legisla-
ture, downstate banking influence and
backing by certain Chicago bankers.
IL shall do what I can to smash this
crowd of corruptionists," Judge Lands
said.
While search was continued for Max
Silver, manager of the banks, who has
been missing since Saturday, safe eX
perts opened the vault Owners Of
safety deposit boxes crowded around
the institutions to learn if their money
and papers was still in the boxes.
Little more than 81 900 was found in
a. safety deposit box of Max Silver,
when it was opened today. In larger
box used by the bank currency. was
found more than $4,000. One of the
500 boxes in the vault was found TO
have been "jimmied."

Washington, Aug. 22-President Will
son let it be known today that he
would veto the immigration bill If it
came before him again with the liter
acy test and with that the senate de-
feated the motion to take up the meas
ure and returned to consideration of
the revenue bill.
The presidents announcement ar
rived just when the democrats were
continuing their party row over the
action of the nine revolving democrats
who refused to be bound by the eau
Gus which decided to let the bill go
over.
Five of the revolving democrats
promptly turned about and voted
against the motion to take it up. They
were Senators Beckham, Chamberlain,
Culberson, Lane and Overman. They
made the vote 80 to %.
Senators AshuTst, Hardwtck, Myers
Smith of South Carolina, and Varda-
man, all democrats, stuck to their vote
to take it up however.
The senate's action means efforts to
consider the bill at this session prob
ably will be dropped.

tain Olsen of the Norwegian steamer
Aft, which arrived here today, says
that on Aug. he passed the German
merchant submarine Deutschland pro-
ceeding at very moderate rate of
speed in an east and southeasterly
direction.
Seeing the craft in the water, with
masts both fore and aft, but with no
sails set, Captain Olsen thought she
was a sailing ship in distress. When
he started toward her she submerged,
but soon rose to the surface again.
The submarine was in the regular
steamer track south of Cape Race,

An official German report says that

The alleged retreat, as stated in

1t was also said the German high
