LORD KITCHENER

A STRIKING TRIBUTE STATUE UNVEILED. Frees Aeiooiatioa—By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, June 9. I Received June 10, at 11.45 a.ra.) A striking tribute to Lord Kitchener was paid by the Prince of Wales when unveiling a statue of the Field-marshal at the Horse Guards’ Parade. His Royal Highness dwelt on Lord Kitchener’s work in Egypt in fx-eeing tho Sudan and guaranteeing the prosperity of the Egyptians. Then he referred to Kitchener’s work in South Africa, where his object was not so much to subjugate those in arms against Jn"m as thereafter to harness the free energies of that great dominion to the coming needs of the great Empire. The 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 during the war. After referring to Lord Kitchener’s work in setting m order the military forces ih Australia and New Zealand, whence came the irresistible Ahzac armies, the Prince concluded by dwelling on Lord Kitchener’s work during the Great War, in transforming England into a mighty military power and art-iter of the destinies of the world.— Reuter.
