A MAN OF VISION
TRIBUTE TO LORD KITCHENER. HIS ORGANISING ABILITY. (Free* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 4. (Received Dec. 4, at 5.5 p.m.) A striking tribute was paid to Lord Kitchener by Sir'George Arthur, his biographer, at the annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars’ Association. ’’Kitchener told me,” he said, “the very day that he entered the War Office that he was determined that 70 divisions should be England’s contribution to the 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 full strength by the beginning of the third year. In July, 1917—precisely at the moment he had arranged—the British armies reached high-water mark.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
