ins BRITAIN’S MILITARY IDOL NEVER FAILED IN HIS SERVICE Kitchener Was in Franco-Prussian War Before He Entered British Armyâ€"Most of His Life Was Spent in Foreign Climes. Irishmen like to claim Lord Kitch‘ ener as a countryman of theirs on the ground that he was born at Guns- borough Villa, County Kerry, on June 24th, 1850. But although his father, Col. Henry Horatio Kitchener. had migrated to Ireland from Leicesterâ€" shire two years before the birth of his son Herbert, the family is East, Angliam Even before he entered the army in 1871 he had had a taste of actual war. cadet he was staying during a vaca- tion with his father in Brittany, for the Irish estates had been sold. France’s last desperate struggle against the German hosts was being fought out by brave but ill-organized armies of hastily-raised levies. Young Kitchener offered his services to the French, was accepted, and fought unâ€" der General Chanzy in the operations around Le Mans. Learned Value of Organization. In that terrible winter campaign Kitchener saw miles of stalled freight cars loaded with war material; 501â€" diers freezing for lack of overcoats stored in plenty half a mile away, but which there was no one to issue, and starving for food that rotted because there was no machinery for its distri- bution. That is why he later fought the Dervishes with Nubian trackâ€"lay- ers and American bridge builders and hemmed in the Boers with blockhouses and charged wire. His first campaign ended by his catching a severe cold after a balloon ascent made when his clothes were wet. In three months he was near to death with pleurisy. With British Army. He joined the Engineers in the spring of 1871 and began the long, hard toil that England exacts from the men who serve her. For three years he worked at Chatham and Aldershot ahd then was detached to work in a semi-civil capacity on the Palestine survey. For four years he passed up and down measuring the land of Canaan and learning the ways and the speech of its people. In Palestine, in Cyprus, in Egypt, Kitch- ener managed to adapt himself to the ways of the natives. He acquired not only their language but their very in- tonation, and could live among the Arabs as safe from detection as Kim in the crowded streets of Lahore. Making a Mummy Fight. England acquired Cyprus in 1878 and Lieut. Kitchener was placed in charge of the exploration. He had neither money nor powerful friends, but the maps and reports he sent back to London were models of their kind. In 1880 he was made British Vice- Consul at Erzerum. His real chance came in 1883. After the bombardment of Alexan- dria England had to reorganize the Egyptian army. Kitchener volunteer- ed and was one of the twentyâ€"six men chosen for the work of raising a force of 6,000 men for the defence of Egypt. The Fellah does not come of a fightâ€" ing race and the job seemed hopeless. Capt. Kitchener was told to lick the. cavalry into shape and was attached to the Intelligence Department. He proved that) the Fellah was like a bicycle, incapable of standing up alone, but very useful in the hands of a skilled master. In ten weeks after the arrival of the first batch of raw recruits 5,600 men went through. the ceremonial parade movements as practised by the British Guards in Hyde Park, and they did it with un- usual precision. 14 Years in Egypt. For fourteen years Kitchener servâ€" ed in Egypt. He was with the Gor- don relief expedition in 1884, and stayed till the hero of Khartoum had been avenged. At Handoub he was severely wounded by a bullet that shattered his jaw and buried in his neck, and he was invalided back to England. In 1888 he returned to Egypt as adjutant~general to head the First Brigade of Soudanese tr00ps at TOSki, where he led the final charge. Time and again he was mentioned in despatches. From Governor-General of the Red Sea littoral and Command- nnt of Suakim he was made Chief of Police at Cairo, and on Lord Cromer’s recommendation was promoted to be Sirdar in 1892. He was only a colonel then. Slaughter of Dcrvishes. Four years later he began his re- conquest of the Soudan. The Don- gola expedition won him the rank of major-general, and the next year, 1897, he started to avenge Gordon's. His first step was a railroad: death. from Cairo to Khartoum. It had to 'cross the desert from Haifa to Abu Hamed, 230 miles of sand. Experts scoffed at the idea; it was absurd, the entire carrying capaoiw of the train would be taken up by the water While still a Woolwich‘ itself I supply necessary for the locomotive. But Kitchener built on, and as he built he bored, and he struck water in I the sands just where he needed it, and the work was finished on October 31, 1897. In April of the following year bara, and on Sept. 2 caught up with lthe Mahdi’s forces at Omdurman and sealed his former victory and the Khalifa’s doom. Gordon was avenged. Dervishes’ retreat, and as they huddled around their standards he played his , 15,000. Igreat shrine of the Dervishes. Kitchâ€" ener demolished the tomb, the holy place, and Scattered the mumflly so that no part of the body could be got for re-enshrinement to be a focus for future trouble. He gave peace to Egypt. Congratulated by Kaiser. He was created Baron Kitchener of Khartoum, received the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, the thanks of Parliament, and was voted $150,- 000; also it may be recalled the Kaiser telegraphed his sicere con- gratulations. Two weeks after Om- durman, Kitchener's forces met Mar- chand at Fashoda with eight French officers and 120 Soudanese tirailleurs, and their withdrawal left the whole of the Soudan in the power of Eng- land. Kitchener at once began to build up the country._ Boer War. Within a year the Boer War broke out, and after the British disasters Lord Roberts was sent to South Africa. Lord Kitchener, while still Sirdar of the Egyptian army, was pro- moted lieutenant~general and made chief of staff. He arrived in Town in January, 1900, and in Novem~ ber took supreme command after Lord Roberts had left for England. He Went and built across the Transvaal a line of blockhouses connected by wires charged with electricity; sixty mobile columns were put into the field; all the women and children and nonâ€"combatâ€" ants Were taken off the farms and placed in huge concentration camps. Slowly and with much less loss of life than would otherwise have been pos- sible the Boers were worn down, and in May, 1902, the struggle ended. Kitchener‘was made a Viscount, ad~ vanced to the rank of General, given the thanks of Parliament, and $250,â€" 000, also the Order of Merit. Sent to India. No sooner was peace signed than Viscount Kitchener was sent to Inâ€" dia as Commander~in~Chief, and in seven years he revolutionized the Inâ€" dian army, and freed it from red tape. IThis stern, icy man put an instant end to the old round of polo-playing garriâ€" son life. He made every one work and thanked no one for Working. Just I’as in South Africa he had shipped lback to England more than 400 offiâ€" of Field Marshal, Kitchener succeed- ed the Duke of Connaught as Com- Imander~inâ€"Chief and High Commis Isioner in the Mediterranean, and jmade a tour of England’s colonies to ‘organize their fighting forces. 0n Ihis way from Australia he Visited Japan and the United States, return- ;‘ing to England in 1910. His latest service prior to the war had been in ,Egypt, where he went to continue Lord Cromer’s great work. He suc- {cceded in restoring the Fellah to the land, and, with a grant: of $15,000,000 ,weight, while in the case of cattlcand 1 half teaspoon “f Vanilla- ;from the British Government, created f Sheep the head, hide and feet are not a little; p01” lm“ Then the hog is very thick‘make a meringue small digestiveI N..-â€" :a great cotton-raising industry. ' When War Began. ‘I When war broke out Kitchener was in England to accept promotion in the peerage to an earldom. The Prime Minister made him Secretary of State for War, and he had responded in his wonderfully efficient way. His first question when he got to the office, “13 there a bed here?" He was told there was not and said. “Get one." It was said he slept only five hours out of the twentyâ€"four and left his post every morning at 1 o'clork, returning {before 9.

His face was that of a man who neither asked for sympathy nor want- ed it. He had steady blue-grey pas- sionless eyes and a heavy moustache covered a mouth that shut close and firm like a wolf trap. He believed with all his might in the gospel of work. He had illimitable self-confi- dence. For bungling and faint-heart- sympathy or showing mercy; an offi- cer who failed him once got no second chance. Nineteen-twentieths of Kitchener’s active life were spent outside of the IBritish Isles, and for that reason it has been said of him he didn’t really know England when the war broke out. .. ,_ 7*...wâ€"mfi , < LORD CIIEIIMSFORD, G.C..\1.G., the new Viceroy and Governor-Gem era] of India.
