A COMMENT ON KITCHENER. American Years Ago. The following comment on Lord Kitchener appeared in the Hartford Couvant years ago: No better picture of the man was ver drawn than that by the late la. mented war correspondent, G. W. Steevens, who was wit him in the Sudan in 1898: "Major General Sir Horatio Her bert Kitchener is 48 years old by book; but this is irrelevant. He stands several inches' over six feet, straight as a lance, and looks out imperiously above most men's heads; his motions are deliberate and strong; slender but firmly knit, he seems built for tireless, steel wire endurance rather than for power and agility; that also is irrelevant. Steady, passionless eyes shaled by decisive brows, brick red rather than full cheeks, a long mustache be neath which you divine an immovable mouth; his face is harsh, and neith- er appeals for affection nor stirs dis like. All this is irrelevant too; neither age, nor figure, nor face, not any accident of person, has any bear Made By An Newspaper Jocko was surrounded by a posse in the home of a half-breed named Chal- | but, about thirty miles from the Golden Lake Reserve, The Indian! left the house in the morning and endeavored to escape. He was cal: led on to halt, but continued to run. Several shots were fired at him, one: of them striking him in the foot. He' continued to press on, but a well di-; rected shot struck him in the groin, the bullét passing through his abdo- men. Messrs. Eno and Wade, Killa. loe, and Ruddy Brothers, Round Lake composed the posse which shot the Indian down. On being notified Sherif Morris despatehed a physician to the scene, but it was found that the injumy must prove fatal, and the wound- ed man could not be removed to a hospital. He died early Sunday. Peter Whitedtick, the other Indian concerned In the slaying of the tarn- key, was captured Tuesday last, and is in the jall here awaiting prelimin- ary hearing. : ---------- Died From Grief.

Steevens had more or less con- tempt for Wolseley after his Su. dan faijure, and wrote of Kitchener: "There are some who nurse a desper ate hope that he may some day be appointed to sweep out the war office He would be a splendid manages of the war office. He would be » splendid manager of anything." And it Is possible that the hope may be fulfilled sooner than Steevens dream ed, despite jealousies that are said to have affected the war office at the opening of this campaign. © 1 EE Pott mo Aed Will Likely be Interaed--h Ran Fou of British Scant Copenhagen, Dec. 7.--The German submarine U 16 has arrived at Esbh Last week it was Stated that German submarines ran foul of British scoutships in the North Sea, and one was sunk and another hit and disabled.

Starr, Dean of On- tario, and rector of the cathedral at Kingston, arrived here Sunday, as a passenger on the steamship Paul} of tLe American line. He would not] discuss his experiences in the war, but he had no hesitancy in exhibiting a half-trunk full of German helmets and iron Crosses, which he picked up on the different battlefields on which he saw service. One of the dean's souvenirs was an iron cross of the first class, whose date showed it to have been award- ed for the valor of its wearer in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, Dean Starr is expected in Kingston in a day or two. He will discuss with the St. George's cathedral peo- ple the matter of further leave of absence, so that he may return to France, as he wishes to go back to the war, HAMILTON Avp LADY , GOULD ADAMS: NEW GOVERNOR OF QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA, Sir Hamiilton and Lady Gould-Adams, the newly-appointed governor of Queenskand, Australia, is well known ir Canada After their Juartjage in Sorento four. years ago, they left for SioemTontein, South Africa, of which he s then governor.

Dillon has a most inter- esting article in the Contemporary Review, in which he suminarizes the main issfies of the war. out the hopeful aspects, and equally forcefully those which are not so hopeful, and he makes some very use- ful suggestions which he. claims would, if adopted, make For the suc- cess of the allies, Of these the most notable i# that we should accept the help of the Japanese army. "The British empiré has an army in the making. It will be ready some time in the first half of the coming year. But the million men that we shall then put-fato the field will be of mych less relative value thah five hundred thousand sent to the fight- ing line to-day. Events are moving fast. The situation is changing con- tinually. Much of what is now hap- pening can be remedied later, but some events are irremediable. Speed, therefore, fs almost as valuable to us as it is to our foes. "It has been fréquently said that we have no/real need of men, that there are millions throughout the empire eager to join the colors. Hap- fighting force isnot available at once live in He points f DECEMBER 7, 1914 the project is workable. It will hardly be gainsaid that five hundred thousand thoroughly trained Japan- ese soldiers would turn the scale at the present conjuncture. "It has been truly said that the object for which we are now strug- gling is not merely to defeat the Teu- tonic armies or to be able to call the war a draw. Neither consummation would avail us ought. For it would not free us from the Upas tree of Prussian militarism under whose poisonous shade all European State organisms wither. What we alm at and what alone can satisfy us in the annihilation of Prussianism together with all its by-product, the tearing 'jout of its nethermost roots "Our principal source of weakness lies in our Quixotic Tespect for broken compacts, our exaggerated deference to the desires of neutrals. "We are concerned to avoid ev- erything that our enemies could fair- ly construe as not 'playing the game.' At the outset of the war we placed ourselves at obvious disadvantages rather than fall in our imaginary du- ties towards them. Slowly we are beginning to economize thi self- denying Quixotism.

Kelly, of-the 27th regiment, Sarnia, is expected to be commander. . an PRINCE OF WALES AT FRONT. He Calls the British Troops, "Fath. er's Army". The case of thé late rn ana fal*was, no doubt, in Lord Kitchen- er's mind when he expressed his op- inion that thé Prince of Wales had not as yet sufficient military experi- ence to warrant him being sent to the front. But, nevertheless, he is now there as an attache on General French's staff Although his royal highness knows 'a good deal about naval affairs, his experience of the Junior branch of the service was, un- til he was attached to the Grenadief Guards a couple of months ago, lim- ited to a camp or two and a few field days with the Oxford university divi- gion of the O. T. C. But there is po doubt that the presence of the heir to the throne in the thick of the fichting will entail an enormous res- pongibility on some one who, to put after him. Lord Chelmeford had charge of the prince imperial years 1g0, and came in for a good deal of censure when the worst happened. This is not intended to reflect on his royal highness' military capac- ity. He has shown himself a smart, keen young officer, and they think a world of him in the Guards. One of Lis fellow officers told me the other day that he is full of pluck. Al- though his physique is not of the ro- bust order, he is exceedingly firy, and in the long route marches he has stuck to it mile after mile, after some sturdy and well-trained Tom- mies have been forced to fall out. What were the prince's relations with his fellow undergraduates when he was at Magdalen? A few weeks ago the writer was talking to one of these young men who knew him in- timately, and asked him. "The Prince?" he said. "Oh, one of the he best." "For instance," continued the youth, "the prince was lunching with me and two other men one day, and we were talking about fixing up a irsome. 'What about next Satur. day?" 1 said. 'Well, said this royal highness, 'I'm afraid mother's com- ing down. But I'll see if I can't put her off!" If was rather curious, too, to hear him talk about 'Father's army." TURKISH CRUISER DAMAGED By » Mine--Six Turkish Sailing Ves. sels Sunk. Petrograd, Dec. 7.--The.

Redmond, leader of the Irish nationalist party, replied to statements ithat Ireland was not doing her duty in the pre- sent crisis. He quoted official statistics showing that, despite the 'fact that emigra- tion had drawn from Ireland the flower of her population, on Nov. 30th there were serving with the military forces of whe crown: 89. 000 Irishmen, who had been in the army before the war began or who had joined as reservists or recruits, If to that were added tens of thou- sands of Irish recruits who were joining the colors in Great, Britain or are now in the ranks of the Cana- dian, Australian or New Zealand contingents, he said, it was safe to say from 130,000 to 140,000 Irishmen were with the colors. Mr. Red: declared that 352,000 of the 89,000 Irishmen in the home army were Catholics. He said thaf 10,112 Ulster - volunteers had gone to the colors from Belfast, while in the same city the nationalist volun teers, who represen ¥ a quar ter of the population, had contribu: ted 3513 men.
