LORD KITCHENER
STRIKING TRIBUTE BY BIOGRAPHER FORESIGHT DURING THE WAR (Rec. December 4, 5.5 p.m.) Loudon, December 4. A striking tribute to the late Lord Kitchener was made by Sir George Arthur, his biographer, at the annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars’ Association. “Kitchener told me,” he said, “the very day he entered the War Office that lie was determined that seventy divisions should be England’s contribution to the war. Sixteen months later he was able to say that sixtyeight were afoot and two were being moulded. A few weeks after the war began Kitchener told me it was most important that the British Amiy should reach full strength by the beginning of the third vear. In July, 1917, precisely the moment he had arranged, the British armies reached high-water mark.”
