TRIBUTE TO KITCHENER.
PRINCE OF WALES’ EULOGY. WORK FOR THE EMPIRE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 10, 5.5 p.m. * London, June 9. A striking tribute to the late Lord Kitchener was paid by the Prince of Wales when unveiling a statute to the Field Marshal at the Horse Guards parade. He dwelt on Lord Kitchener’s work in Egypt in freeing the Sudan and garanteeing the prosperity of the Egyptians and then in South Africa where his object was, not so much to subjugate those in arms against him, as thereafter to harness the free energies of the great Dominion to the coming needs of the great Empire. The Prince quoted General Birdwood as saying: “But for Lord Kitchener’s work in reorganising her armies India could never have made her great contribution during the war.” After referring to Lord Kitchener’s setting in order of the military house in Australia and New Zealand, whence came the irresistible Anzac armies, the Prince concluded by dwelling ou Lord Kitchener’s work during the Great War in transforming England into a mighty military power and the arbiter of the destinies of the world.
