PRINCE ON KITCHENER.
TRIBUTE TO GREAT MAN. " IRRESISTIBLE ANZACS." BRITAIN, WORLD'S ARBITER. (Received 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 8. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales paid a striking tribute to Earl Kitchener when unveiling the statue of the Field-Marshal on the Horse Guards Parade. He dwelt on Lord Kitchener's work in Egypt in freeing the Soudan, and guaranteeing prosperity to the Egyptians. Then in South Africa his object was not so much to subjugate those in arms against him as afterwards to harness the free energies of a great Dominion to the coming needs of a greater Empire. The Prince quoted Field-Marshal Sir William Birdwood as saying: "But for Kitchener's work in reoganising her armies Indian could never have made her great contribution during the war." After referring to the setting of Australia's military house in order by Kitchener, and his equally wonderful work in Xew Zealand, from which countries came the irresistible Anzac armies, the Prince concluded by dwelling on Lord Kitchener's work during the Great War, in transforming England into a mighty military power, which was tlie arbiter of the destinies of the world. (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
