News of the untimely death of Karl
Kucnenet In the sudden disaster which
overtook tne Kritisn cruiser Hampshire
yesterday comes us a distinct shock to
me wond us well as to Kugiand.
'io Britain the sudden taking oil of
tuc ruiemusi military ngure or m» em
pire, in the midst of Hie most crueial
period of the national existence, is proD
ahly the most severe blow mat the nil
tion has suiiered since It. unfortunately,
allowed itself to become Involved in the
great whirlpool of wasle and slaughter
over dubious rights.
In the midst of this unreasoning war,
Kitchener was to Britain much like
Washington was to America in the first
hours of the revolution—the one man
to whom the nation could look for its
salvation in the hour of deepest trouble.
Confronted with the mifehty problem of
preparing herself to meet the aggres
sion of the most powerful military na
tion the world has known, England
turned to Kitchener as Ihe man of ibo
hour—the one person fitted by military
knowledge and experience to take up
the task of guiding the national destiny
through the blasting influences of war.
Upon hint devolved by general consent
the giant task of lifting the nation front
a condition of comparative military
weakness to one of strength and power.
Armies must need be raised and fitted
to the task of withstanding the torren
tial tide of Implacable foes who threat
ened the very existence of the nation.
England, though she knew It not ut the
time, was standing at the threshold of
fate with black doom crouching within
the door. She know, however, that she
was facing a most perilous hour in her
national career and that desperate meas
ures were needed to prevent disaster
And, it was to Kitchener she looked for
deilvereuoe.
How will he fulfilled the task so sud
denly laid upon his shoulders Is already
partially revealed in the giant army
croucmtig along the far (lung battle
lines of Europe. But, his work was
still uncompleted when the grasping
hand of death suddenly reached forth
and tore him from mortal view. Great
us have been his labors, England still
shrinks before the grappling clutch of
un unbroken foe and must still bend
every energy to the tusk of guarding her
existence. '1 he loss of Kitchener renders
(hat task still greater and more difficult.
In many respects the death of Kitch
ener Is, to England, a national disaster.
Others will probably be found to take
tils place thougb It Is doubtful ir one
will be found who will bring to the na
tion the powers and energies of the de
parted war lord.
As a military organizer Kitchener pos
sessed few equal and for this reason
atone his Joss is irreparable. Coupled
with this remarkable capacity was a
gift of military leadership which placed
him on a plane of equality with the
greatest military geniuses of the day.
Both as organizer and military direc
tor his loss will be keenly felt by Eng
land and her allies and It is not without
the bounds of possibility that his sud
den passing may have a tremendous ef
feet on the future determinations of the |
war.
A DBUCIOU8 HIT OF HU it OK
In these days of political strife, the
following bit of genuine humor, written
by an angry constituent to an Aus
tralian member of parliament, may
prove interesting:
Oeer Sur—You're a dam fraud, and
you know it 1 don't care a rap for the
position or for the muney either, but
you could have got it for me U you
wasn’t as means as muk. Two pounds
a week aiu't any mour to me lhau *1
shlllln’s is to you, but 1 object to bein’
made an infernll fool of. Soon us you
was elected by my hard-working friends
a feller wanted to bet me that you
wouldn't be in the house moren a week
before you made a ass of yourself. 1
bet him a cow on that, as I thought
you were worth it When 1 got your
note sayln' you deklined to ackt In the
matter. I druv the cow over to the fel
ler's place an' told him he had won her.
That’s orl I got by howlin' meself horse
for you on election day and months
befoar. You not only hurt a man’s
pride, but you Injure his bigness X be
lieve you think you'll get in agen. I
don’t. An’ what I don't think is of raoar
konsequlnce than you imajin. I believe
you take a pleshlr In cuttln’ your best
frlonds. but wate till the clouds roll by

where the butcher cuts the pig. Your
no man. Yure only a title. Qo to hel. 1

WAR SPEEDS
HE GENIUS
OF AMERICA
Those who have tried to keep In touch
with events In America since the "ruc
tions'' in Europe began, must have ob
served that aa Immense quantity of ma
terials came from the countries Involv
ed In the war and that while the demand
continued for these materials, the bel
ligerents nations either oould nut supply
American manufacturers or else declin
ed to do, which placed the concerns
In America In a position to do one 01
two things; go without and close up
shop, or tlnd a substitute. It Is pleasing
to uote that there are few instances to
record where a closing up of shop was
necessary. ,In the main, the troubled
manufacturers put the buck up to the
American chemists, and they have come
to the mark in splendid shape.
Chemistry is coming Into Its own In
America, and unless signs give us the
wrong Impression, American is going to
develop chemists who need take no back
scat from their co-workers in Europe.
One of the reasons for European
prominence In certain lines of industry
was wholly due to the thoroughness of
its chemistry forces, who allowed no
problem to remain unsolved which had
any connection, direct or indirectly,
with products of general use. For the
first time In the history of America the
chemist 1b getting bis chance, and we
predict that he will make good.—Bx.

i HE GOVERNMENT AN
EXTRAVAGANT TENANT
Thai, our Bot<iiimi.'ni should rent prup
t rty in various places throughout, the
country tor post offices In small towns
and outer lines of business is unavoid
ao.c, oui that It should be such a large
renter in the Capital city Is somewhat
surprising. Notwithstanding the num
ber and size of the public buildings in
Vt asblngton, the government annually
pays out more than hull' a million dol
lars for rented quarters.
The list shows thut the stale depart
ment pays rentals amounting to $33,534
annually, treasury department $11,360;
war department, $3,700 Engineer depart
ment, army, $5,070; Quartermaster, army,
*32,633; Navy department, $43,100, Interior
department, $76,675; Post office depart
ment, $43,460; Department of Agriculture,
$131,734; Department of commerce, $66,
600; Department of Labor, $20,000; De
partment of Justice, $43,000; Board ot
Mediation and Conciliation. $2,820; Inter
state Commerce Commission, $72,08$;
Public Printer, $3,233; District of Colum
bia, $14,932; total $604,000.
This sum would pay the interest on a
very large expenditure for land and
buildings by the government. Also, ;
there is the probability that the gov- |
eminent is "bled” severely In some of
these rentals.—Kx.
