The first announcement was conveyed to the world in an official statement issued by the British Admiralty in London on Tuesday morning. The statement follows:" Admiral Jellicoe reports: "I have to report with deep regret that His Majesty's ship Hampshire, Capt. Herbert Savill, t J.R.N. with Lord Kitchener and histaff on board, was sunk last night at about 8 p.m., to the west of the Orkneys, either by a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were seen by observers on shorn to leave the ship. The wind was north-northwest, and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once pro- ceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the PP', rd, I greatly fear that there is litt:e Ito; e of there being any survivors. No report has yet been received from the search party• on shore. H.`' S. Tram -shire was on her way to Pv: " To C'ar by Request An official statement issued in Lon- don on Tue:, i y evening said that Earl Kitchener was to have discussed im- portant military and financial ques- tions with Emperor Nicholas. Earl Kitchener was going to Russia at the request of the Russian Government. He intended to land at Archangel and visit Petrograd, and probably go to the Russian front. Hismission had chiefly to do with the supply of muni- tions for Russia. The Earl expected to be back in London for the re- opening of Parliament on June 20. Accompanying Earl Kitchener as his staff were Hugh James O'Beirne, fort• er councillor of the British Embassy at Petrograd and former minister at Sofia; 0. A. Fitzgerald, Earl Kit- chener's private military secretary; Brigadier -General Ellershaw and Sir Frederick Donal<.soh, technical advis• er to the Ministry of Munitions. Organizer of Victory Because of the world -prominence of the chief character in the tragedy the news was received with profound Sor- row throughout the Empire which had for many years placed increasing re- liance upon his abilities and devotion. Of several things that entitle Earl Kitchener to a place in world history, the most notable is that he organized the largest volunteer army the world has ever seen, in the greatest war of all times. Within a year from the sudden outbreak• of the European war in August, 1914, the ranks of British fighting men were quadr;:I:led by an increase from less than 1,000,000 to nearly 4,000,000. All other great pow- ers that entered the war had huge standing armies and compulsory mili- tary service. Great Britain alone fac- ed the issue with confidence that its people would readily respond to the call of King and country without com- pulsion, and the precipitous develop- ments that led to the war found both the people and the Government unani- mous in the verdict that Kitchener of Khartoum was the man to lead in the recruitiu and organization g g anon of the necessary army. For Empire's Crisis Field Marshal, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum stood next td the late Lord Roberts as the most admired military idol in the British Empire. With the latter's increasing age "K. of K." came to be regarded as England's- greatest soldier and the decision of the Govern- ment to entrust hint with supreme direction of the war was received with unanimous approval. He was appoint- ed Secretary of State of War on Aug- ust 8, 1914, a few days after Great Britain's declaration of war on Ger- many, follhwing a great outburst of popular clamor. It was not a senti- mental clamor, for though Kitchener was a proven hero of rnr,ny campaigns, his personality was as impenetrable aas hardened steel, and he was not a ero that could bo loved; even the War Office had no pronounced liking Tor him, but ,on all sides there was profound respect for his military efficiency and for all ile had'done to increase the prestige and usefulness Pfthe Britisht ✓tn it e. As the war progressed Earl Kitchener was sub. Jected to severe criticism, led by Lori Northcliffe, The Secretary was charged with responsibility for failure to foresee the extraordinary demand ter heavy shells, and as a result the Ministry of Munitions was formed, With David Lloyd -George at its head,• Earl Iiitchener's responsibilities were further Ieed,ened by the appointment of General Sir William llobertson as ,thief of the Imperial ;.staff in Decent. her of last year. It was reported at thls time that friction had arisen be. twean i0nrl 1citcltener and Field Mar. shal Pretich, then in command of the Britlel4 forces itf France.

Their hobby is to tell fortunes and steal frilm their custom- ers at the camett ' me. The fire alarm sounded on Friday morning about 11.35 and although the firemen have had several spurts for nothing of late, they were at the scene of the fire in less than two minutes after the alarm was given. A couple of email boys threw a match into a box of .excelsior in a shed at the back of the marble works and had not the smoke been notfeed before any headway was made doubtless a bad fire would have been the result. As it was the fire was put out without the brigade. J4'Ire and matches are not the right playthings for children.
