KITCHENER'S FORESIGHT
TRIBUTE BY BIOGRAPHER,
(United Pre_. Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 4th December. A striking tribute to tho late Lord Kitchener was made by Sir George Arthur, his biographer, at tho annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars' Association. "Kitchener told me,", ho said, "the very day he entered tho War Office that ho 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 tho war began Kitchener told mo it %vas most important that the British Army should reach full strength by the beginning of tho third year. In July, 1917, precisely the moment he had arranged, tho British armies reached high-water mark."
