some days before she saw him again,
and then the full weight of the great bur
den that he had assumed was upon him.
Together not long after the beginning
of the great European campaign, Miss
Hutchinson and Lord Kitchener founded
the "K. of X. Empire Association" whose
valuable work for the fighting men is so
we'll known. The "K. of k as it is known
TO its members and to thousands of Brit
ish fighting men, grew out of little
organization known as the "Imperial Lady
Workers" that had been founded some
years before the war by the daughter of
distinguished court painter. It's object
was to assist women who are obliged to
add to or to earn income, and, like the
greater organization that grew out of it,
it was entirely without the charity Gle
ment.
AS soon as the war came the Imperial
Lsdy Workers diverted their principal
energies to the soldiers and their needs
as we'll as those of their dependents, and
this work of theirs was brought to the
notice of Miss Caroline Hutchinson through
the Balfour family. Miss Hutchinson at
once expressed her eagerness to become
member of the organization, and lost no
time in bringing the efforts of her fellow
workers and herself to the notice Of Lord
Kitchener himself. Miss Hutchinson urged
Lord Kitchener to give his own name TO
the organization, and as soon as he was told
of the fine service to the fighting men
which it already had rendered, and the still
greater service which it hoped to achieve,
he enthusiastically consented.
Miss Hutchinson wished to call the organ
ization "The Kitchener Empire Associa-
tion."
"No," said the great soldier. "call it
The K. of X. Empire Association There
are many Kitcheners but there is only
one K. of K" So the X. Of X. Empire
Association was the name that chosen.

neer who was so rapidly forging his way
to the front in the person of Horatio Her
bert Kitchener. To all the rest she gave un-
compromising denials. The urgings of the
lover of her childhood were the hardest
of all for Caroline Hutchinson to with
stand. She did withstand them, but when
she made it clear to him that she could
not be his wife she likewise made it plain
that her reason was twofold.

has been laid upon me-" she said "but there
is another reason why it cannot be. have

there is great future and you must have
as your wife a accustomed to lofty
station and to presiding q great
tablishment. But always to remain of
your best friends is the dearest wish Of my
heart"
Man among men as he was, Lord Kitch-
ener pleaded no more, but Loyalty accepted
the best that the woman he loved could
give him. Probably he knew at the begin
ming that there never would be another
woman for him. At all events, there never
was.
During all the rest of his life the strong
man who was supposed to lean on no human
being leaned on this magnificent woman
who dominated and inspired him equally.
To her he went with his triumphs, to her
also when he needed consolation, counsel
sympathy.
In the early days of the great European
war, when he was toiing most strenuous
ly, when he was most harassed and the
burden of his gigantic responsibility lay
heaviest upon him, there were times when
he to a sudden stop and declared
to the men around him at the War Office:
"Gentlemen, I am weary. I am going
away to rest for few hours. I will be
back at such and such time
Then he would order his motor car and
would drive away and seek the solace Of
communion with the sweet woman who was
vertically his Balm of Gilead.

200,000 KIDDIES
 ARE DESTITUTE

WARSAW.--By MaiD-On their entry into the district of Vladimir, just freed from the enemy by the victorious advance of General Haller's troops, American Red Cross officers found a population of 100000 children
 ractically foodless and in clothing hat was little better than rags.
 Of the 50,OOO children in Vladimir, it was reported that 5000 were com ,.lote orphans. having neither father
 or mother. To care for such a large number there is but one orphan asy- lum capable of accommodating 100 children.
 As a temporary measure the Red Cross has sent several cars of sup
 lies to Vladimir. Another train was
 >spatched to the Haleby districts, where the conditions of the popula- ton are equally severe. Here were found eighty villages on the old Ger man Russian battle line. Many of them had been totally destroyed. Re- fugees from Russian augmented the normal population, and to take care of them the Red Cross sent to Haleby eighty bales of clothing.

NEW CRUISER IS
 WHITE ELEPHANT

LONDON,--(By MaiD-The first of a new type of British cruiser, the Raleigh, launched a few days ago, i1 expected to give the navy trouble to find her suitable work.
 The Raleigh is of 9,750 tons with a speed of B knots. She was designed to hunt raiders such as the Moewe and the Wolf. She was given guns larger than the guns usually placed on light cruisers so she might be able to outrange any commerce raider !Hr enemy might send out Now that there are no German raiders, it is conceded by the navy that she ;s much in the nature of a white elephant, being too costly for light o'riser and too light for service with battle cruiser squadron.
 The Raleigh is armed with 7.5 inch .lns, provided with an underwater
 5ulge" which designed to make her torpedo proof, and is so divided that any two of her main compartments
 nr be flooded without endangering the vessel. She has anti-aircraft guns and burns oil fuel only.

IMMIGRANTS TO
 CHOOSE MEXICO


 COBLENZ,-(By MaiD-Mexico is pictured by various newspapers as a country perfectly adapted to Ger many's future needs so far as emil ation is concerned. Emil Zim- mermann, in the Deutche Wirtscnaft- szukunft, deplores the attitude of many members of the government who believe that Germany should at tempt to keep all her people at home. Much more reasonable and sensible Zimmerman asserts, is the view of those members of the government that the only cure for the labor un. est and the great amount of un- mployed turnout Germany is to get
 of as large a number of laborers as possible thru emigration.

BERLIN FACING
 GRAVE SHORTAGE
 FUEL AND HEAT

BERLIN,-(By MaiD-Berlin faces a winter with little or no coal and consequent freezing conditions. lack of electricity gas and lighting and in addition a shortage of dwellings,.
 Up to now the government has in most cases contented itself with ap- pealing to house owners who have more than enough room to volun- teer some space to those without shelter. The replies have been ex-
 edingly few, and those in power are seriously considering an adapta- ton of the system in vogue in Buda- pest and Munich during the soviet regimes. That is, the authorities would forcibly take over parts of cer- tain houses.
 A Berlin magistrate has ordered all the war companies, most of them n process of dissolution or entirely dissolved, out of their spacious quar- ters which they had enjoyed for the eriod of the war to provide placea
 those who have no homes.
 Neukoelln, a suburb of Berlin, has attempted to help solve the situa.
 Il by building emergency houses.
 An other suburb, Gruenau proposes to confiscate the dwellings of bachel. ors. Other suburbs plan to confis. cate, for the winter at least, the homes of summer guests that stand empt" all winter, and fill them with the homeless. One suburb has already taken this step.
 The city of Berlin has erected in the Tempelhofer Chausse district a model house of clay, and will dupli. cate if it is found that they are prac- ticable. The dwelling authorities plan on the erection, as soon as pos. .ible, of $500 permanent residences of modest dimensions.
 The dwelling authorities plan one and two family houses with garden, and larger family houses with a num- Der of apartments, and a tiny gar. len to each dwelling.
 Average building costs are estimat, ed at AZ times the peace rate.
 The government has already ob- tained control of some 1000 empty stores, garrets, work plants, barracks and temporary structures to shelter those in pressing need. A total of 20,O0O,000 marks has thus far been voted or raised for these emergency measures.
 Swarms of people from the occupied territories are arriving in Berlin, increasing the need faster than mea- sures can be taken to alleviate it. The dwelling association issues warnings opeatedly against the influx into Der in, but without much effect

AMERICA MADE CARS WIN WITH
 BRITISH TRADE

LONDON,-(By MaiD-Premier Lloyd Georges announcement of the suspension of board of trade licens- ing restrictions on the importation of American automobiles was the re- suit of an increasing preference on ,;o part of English motorists for the
 'Aerican cars quite as much as the .gency of increased motor transport to supplement- other means of convey ance.
 Formerly in England there was con- 9iderable prejudice against American made motor cars. This prejudice is now ascribed either to ignorance of their true worth or to snobbery One contributor to British motor trade journal declares:
 Quite honestly. there is. no better
 aue for money in the motor world than the average American car. The ,'Jint at the moment. however. is not exactly one of sheer value, but wheth- CT, in our own best interests in the long run, we should admit the ve- hcles freely, ration their import, or
 ar them altogether.
 At the present time there is a desperate shortage of motors in this country. Our own manufacturers,
 wing chiefly to circumstances over which they have no control are un- able to meet the demand and so, to some extent, we benefit immediately by importing motor vehicles from the United States.
 At the same time, the fact re- mains that the American factories ,annot, for a considerable time meet even their own demands, yet they are
 Hing to keep their own market snort in their attempt to consolidate and increase their foreign markets. There is ample food for thot in this fact"
 When questioned by deputation of British automobile manufacturers on September P, Sir Auckland Ged- les, minister for national service and reconstruction, gave them no hope that tariff would be imposed on .imerican motor cars.

AMERICAN GIRL
 TELLS TALE OF
 TYPHUS PLAGUE

TOKIO.- R In letter from Omsk, Siberia, Miss Charlotte Board man Rogers, of New York City, who was on the western front when the kolchak armies recently evacuated a number of cities, writes a pitiable story of the horrors of typhus which she personally observed as a nurse of ihe American Red Cross. Under date of July 20 she says:
 Il have spent twenty-four hours in bell. Our train was stalled at the railway station of Petropavlovsk, Far Western Siberia, and somewhere to the west of us the Red armies were coming on.
 To the right of us, left of us, rear of Us. were typhus fever trains, box cars, passenger cars, twenty-five. thirty, even thirty-five cars to a train and all loaded with men from the front and from the evacuated hos pita.s, with hundreds ds-thousands of paticata dying of the dread disease.
 No nurse waited on them, no doc tors administered medicines to stim- ulat2 the action of their weakened hearts. They lay on rough board shelves erected around the sides and ends Oi the cars, or on the floor were even cattlemen would have placed straN il animals were to be carried. No sanitary conveniences were sup piled. the patients clothes were stained with filth and blood; their feet cahed with mud and manure their DJdies alive with little gray typhCs lice-the plague of Siberia.
 "Cha2K bones protruded thru their yellow skin, eyes sunken into their sockets. hands like binds claws stretched out with cups for water, they 'py all day in the sweltering heat
 we tried to look away but all day long we heard them moan or call fol their sanitary attendants.
 oui Iilp lIou OllSh to the eS- trene font and back again at time when the Siberian government armies were falling back before the Reds has roYealed in all its pitifulness the trem ,pGous need of Russian hospi- tals, sanitary trains and dressing statiGrs for every kind of supply.
 ''A!tho the American Rcd Cross has been sending train after train to Westcrr Siberia, so vast is the need that mGny more trains are necessary to meet even the most primal neces- sites Yet those of us who have seen the immediate improvement in hospitals and sanitary trains where American Red Cross supplies have comc in are immensely encouraged, knowing that every pound of ab- sorbept cotton, every ounce of drugs, every yard of gauge, can be used in Western Siberia to save life"

FLAPPERS LOSE
 OUT WITH ERIC

LONDON.-R)-Flippant girls are to be barred from the office of the new ministry of transport because Sir Eric Geddes, the new minister of that department objects to low-neck- ed bIouses, flashy dresses, gossip in the corridors and organized tea par ties.
 A woman secretary told a reporter: Sir Eric does not like to see crowos of these young people about. I am told that he dislikes very much the loud apparel and particularly low necks and he has no time for their childish laughter and chattering. He has expressed a wish that the women members of the staff shall be staid and wear quiet clothes. The days of the flapper are over. at least as far as this department is concerned"

 The thieves watch for teams, the drivers of which have left them for a moment, and drive the horses away. If the wagons contain anything of value it is stolen and the horses are taken to secret barns and sheds, or even to wooded suburban sections, and killed immediately.
 Insurance companies that used to insure horses and teams will do so no more.

ROBBERS H0LDUP
 RUSSIAN VESSEL,

BATOUM, Cancasia,-(By MaiD- Six robbers, travelling as passengers. commandeered the Russian steamer Constantine on her latest trip be- tween this port and Constantinople and robbed a selected list of wealthy
 'saengers of 30,OOO,O0O rubles. The robbery was conducted with the dar- ing and finish of an American train hOld-up.
 The Constantine carried merchants from Tiflis, Baku, Bagdad and Erivan proceeding to Constantinople to pur- chase goods, with cash in gold and Romanoff rubles for the purpose. There was nothing to indicate the character of the robbers until the ship was within 12 hours of the Bos- phorus, when the captain and crew, at the point of pistols, were ordered forward and engines stopped. The leading merchants were lined up as their names were read from list, and their persons and baggage searched. It was a case of all firearms on the deck and arms aloft. The crew and humber passengers were not molest- ed
 The captain was ordered to navi- gate his ship close to shore, the pile of firearms was tossed into life Aoat, and the robbers moved to land They immediately disappeared in the hills of Anatolia The members of the crew who rowed them ashore re- ceived handsome tip.

JEWISH POCROM
 BEING INCITED
 BY PROPAGANDA

BERLIN,--(By MaiD-The Hansa Bund ofHamburg, mercantile associ- aiion of the great port, has requested the publishers ot the German Officers Gazette, to publish a demand upon the public not to read Jewish news papers. The demand mentions as some of the more prominent German papers owned by Jews the Berlin Tageblatt, the Ullstein papers, Vos- siche Veitung, Berlinger Zeitung Am Mittag, Morgenpost and the National Zeitung.
 This is the latest and most direct move in the anti-semitic campaign that is growing in Germany. It is another result of the revolution, which in removing the old censorship, re- moved with it every vestige of control over everything.
 The Pan German papers of course are behind the anti-semitic campaign, 
 by week until some virtually plead for pogroms while others content themselves with earnest hopes that all the Jews will leave Germany and 50 to Palestine-or anywhere else in the world than Germany.
 The agitation began as the Associ- ated Press correspondent had ample opportunity to see, in Bavaria shortly
 iter the armistice and the revolu- tion It was at first inspired by opponents of Kurt Eisner and the other Jews who constituted part of the government of the first re- rublic in Bavaria. It was furthered chiefly by the officer caste. which found thousands of sympath1zers among the real Bavarians who joined the movement in dislike if not ha- ed of the foreign element that had invaded Bavaria during the war.
 Thence it spread with ever-increas- ing rapidity and blazed out in north ern Germany, where it had always existed but had been more or less dormant because of governmental restrictions. It has achieved greater headway because some members of the present government are Jews.
 Minister of defense Noske recently took steps to prevent a threatened pOgrom which evoked a letter from a Pan German who complimented him >n his attitude toward pogroms.
 Officers of troops in the east re- peatedly are accused of deliberately fulthing an oppression of their Jew ish soldiers. All in all, the life of the Hebrew is one of the most un- comfortable in Germany.
 Berlin is flooded with anti-semitic literature. The west end of the city is the particular stamping ground of Lose who distribute it. The antag- onism to Jews extends to almost
 very stratum of the German popu- lation. Magazines, weeklies and monthlies devote columns to the sub ject.

SPRINGS WOMAN LEG BROKEN BY
 RUNAWAY TEAM
MRS. DAN GREEN SUFFERS BROK- FEN LEG WHILE EXERCISING DOG TEAM; EXTENT OF MUIR LES UNKNOWN; GIBBON DOC TOR SUMMONED.

Word was received in town last night of a serious accident at Hot Springs in which Mrs. Dan Green, a prominent resident of that camp, suffered a broken leg and possibly other injuries, the extent of which have not been determined. The doc tor of the army post at Fort Gibbon has been summoned to Hot Springs to attend the injured woman.
 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Green took her team out for run on the freshly fallen snow, intending to give them few hours exercise be- fore returning home. Just before dark, some of the dogs, which had broken loose from the sled, returned home Much alarmed, MT. Green started out to search for his wife and found her out short distance from town, lying on the bottom of the sled unconscious and bleeding and with one leg broken.
 Just how the accident happened is not yet known. But it is believed that the team got out of control and ran away with the woman and in some manner caused the injuries. Mrs. Green is said to be in a seri- ous condition. Fort Gibbon medical authorities advised against attempt ing to take her to the army post, fearing that further damage might be done the broken limb on the trip.
 Mrs. Green is the wife of Dan, a brother of Captain George Green, and is well known here.
