A striking tribute to the late Lord Kitchener was paid by tho Prince of Wales at the unveiling _ the statue to the Field-Marshal en the Horse Guards Parade. He dwelt on Lord Kitchener's work in Egypt, his freeing of the Sudan, guaranteeing the prosperity of Egyptians. Then there was his ifork in South Africa, where this object was so much to subjugate those in arms against him as thereafter to harness tho free energies of a great Dominion to the coming needs of a great Empire. Tho Prince quoted Field-Marshal Birdwood as saying that but for Lord Kitchener's work in reorganising the armies India could never have made her great contribution to the war. After referring to Lord Kitchener's setting in order the military house in Australia and New Zealand, whence came the irresistible Anzac armies, the Prince concluded by dwelling on Lord Kitchener's work in tho Great War, transforming England into a mighty military Power to arbiter tho destinies of the world.
