OUR ANSWER TO GERMANY. The answer of the British govern- ment and of the allies--for what Bri- tain 'says. France and Russia also says--is that there will be a real blockade of the German empire, and that no ships will be allowed to car- ry ,any goods to it under any .con- ditions, This blockade has been ren- | dered necessdry-hy the assumed block- ade of Britain hy the German sub- marines, and the threatened destruc: tion of British marine without regard for the welfare of life or the salva- | tion of it. clamation, perate A more monstrous pro: of a defeated and des- enemy, cannot be imagined.

He Has Three Hobbies, Gardening, Architecture and Collecting--He is Not At All Spectacular In His Work. One of the tests of a great man is that he inspires legends. We hear about Washington and his inability to produce an alibi in reference to the cherry tree, about Lincoln and his inveterate habit of telling funny stor- ies, and what is more to the point, about Kitchener': unsmiling stern- ness, At the time of the South Af- rican campaign a writer of nonsense | verse asked a correspondent who knew Kitchener what would be the most preposterous thing that could be associaied with him. The answ- er was "laughter," The idea is that For this we are indebted chiefly to George W. Steevens, the brilliant newspaperman | who wrote "With Kitchener to Khar-/ toum." He invented the Kitchener! myth---the stern silent man of des-| tiny, who plays the war game as oth-| ers play chess. Then we had a, sketeh from T. P. O'Connor which revealed some of the more human and likeable attributes of the secre- tary of war. Later still, we had Ir- vin Cobb, the humorist, who acciden-, tally wrote the most humorous thing in his career when he represented the War Lord as panting for information | about the German army which only; Cobb was able t¢ give. { The latest contribution to the li-| terature of the subject is Harold Be- gbie, whose book, "Kitchener: Or- ganizer of Vietory," has been pub- lished within the past féw days. Mr. Begbie is known as the author of "Twice Born Men," and also for the verses displayed in the street cars to the effect that when the troops re- turn from €laughter and the. ships come home from war, every hero] shall be welcomed, every orphan SUITS, SUTTS, $8.50. $10.00.
