Here Is a Lord Kitchener story. told
by the anonymous author Of ''The Mir

was a soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fession. Details outside Of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days Of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
Office and asked the appointment Of
UNCONVENTIONAL chaplains for the vari-
GUS sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chap.

gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yieledd and picked up his pen.
"Very WELL" he said, 'you shall have
