KITCHENER'S WORK.
BRITAIN'S WAR ARMIES. [TRIBUTE TO ACCOMPLISHMENT. Australiaa and N.Z. Cable Association. (Seed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 4. A striking tribute to the late Earl Kitchener was made by Sir George Arthur, .Kitchener's biographer, at the annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars' Association. He said: — "Kitchener told me on the very day ho entered the War Office he was determined that 70 divisions should comprise Britain's contribution of man-power in tho war. Sixteen months later he was able to say that 68 divisions were afoot and two were being moulded. "A few weeks after the war began Kitchener told me it was most important that the British Army should reach its full strength by the beginning of the third year of the war. In July, 1917, precisely r»t the moment he bad arranged, the British armies reached their high-water-mark."
