Earl Kitchener
Was Drowned
(Continued from page one)
mediately mentioned as logical suc•
censor.
When the news of the tragedy was
received in Loudotr the British War.
Council was immediately convened.
Sir Edward Grey, Reginald McKenna
Ind Ravi(] Lloyd -George were peeeent
1t the Council. The belief that tht
enemy was directly responsible sprea(,
quickly alt(1 great was the mour-1irt
as the olileial nature and reliability
!if the reports was recognized. in :.
"ew hours the wh"clo Empire was i
mourning for one of her greatest see
who thus perished as lie would have
wished, "on active service," and i

face of the enemy. His mission t,1
Russia was undoubtedly of the hag:.,
est inil.crtauec', hi:, uncanny ability t.'
co-ordinate and organize forces and tc
impress personalities and peoples liar-
ing been demonstrated on countless
and no more than in recent months.
At the age of 66 Horatio Herbert
Kitchener perished at the zenith of his
career when he had brought the cause
of the Empire and her friends out
of the valley and to within measur'
able distance of the peak of victory.
In the Present War
The collosal task of raising, traininr
and equipping the new British arttiie,
was almost completed when Earl Kit•
clteuer left with his staff on a special
mission to Petrograd. This mission
was only one of the many for which
the dihtingulshed British officer luul
found timo.since the war to.undertarko
and complete on behalf of the ',Allied
powers. There hard been no recent
reports of Earl Kitchener's move-
ments. Ho was last mentioned in the
cable despatches of Friday, when he
went to Westminster Palace to be
questioned by members of the House
of Commons, whelp were not satisfied.
with the conduct of the war. • Nn
intimation was given that he intended
to leave England. Lord Kitchener had
been one of the most conapicluous
figure In the war. It was he, who,
in November, 1915, went to the Near
East and inspected conditions at the
Dardanelles. This trip led to, th,
withdrawal of the British oxpeditioe
front Gallipoli Peninsula. The War
Secretary left London on November
5, 1915. He 'visited Gallipoli and
Salonika where he conferred with the
British and French generals in charge.
On November 20, Lord Kitchener went
to Athens where he conferred with
King Constantine, King of the Ilel-
lenes, for then it was feared Greece
might side with the Central Powers.
Despite his years, Lord Kitchener
was in the prime of his vigor and was
a tower of strength in the grand war
councils that were held in Paris. He
attended then' from the first and held
a leading` position in the last grand
council of all the Powers at Paris in
March 'when he was able to report
his unique accomplishment, the actual
enlistment of .over five million British
subjects as soldiers in the Allied
cause.
Without his crowning achievements
as the great organizer of the British
campaign in the European war, Kit-
chener had already won wide and last-
ing faille by his many campaigns in
Egypt, South Africa and in India. Ile
was born June 24, 1850, at Bailylong-
ford in County Kerry, Ireland, a fact
which gave rise to a general belief
that he was of Irish blood, hut his
parents were of French and English
descent. His father was a retired
lieutenant -colonel of dragoons. Young
Kitchener received his fundamental
military education at Woolwich, where
he displayed only ordinary brilliancy,
with the exception of his liking for
mathematics.
Triumphs In Sudan
The fight at Omdurman, September
2, 1898, was the greatest battle of Kit-
cltener's time An Egypt, Osman Digrta
faced "the Sirdar" with 60,000 Mali=
diets, while he had but 20,000 men.
When the battle was over, 11,000 of
the Mandists had been killed, 16,000
wounded, and 4,000 taken, while the
British and Egyptian loss altogether
was under 500 men, With the capturo
of Khartum, capital of the Sudan,
which meant the re-establishment of
British possession of these upper
reaches of the Nile, Kitchener became
the object of hero-worship in England,
He was raised to the Peerage as Baron
Kitchener of Khartum, and received
the thanks of Parliament and a grant
of $150,000.
South Africa and After
Soon afterward he became chief of
staff to Lord Roberts in the South
African War, and iu November, 1900,
succeeded hint as Commander-in-chief
in the field. By constructing a 3,500 -
mile chain of blockhouses he stopped
the Boer raids and virtually ended -the
war in South Africa. Then Kitchener
went to India as commander-in-chief
of the British *forces there, and In
seven years carried out not only many
far-reaching administrative reforms,
but a complete re -organization and
strategical re-distribtttion of the Brit-
ish and native forces. On leaving
India in 1909 he toured the Empire
drawing up a scheme for defence of
the overseas Dominions alai then re-
turned to Egypt, the scene of his first
triumph, enjoying virtually a Gover-
nor -Generalship of Egypt --and led in
the economical development of the
country, building new roads and irri-
gation projects on a large scale. At
this work of organization he stood nu -
rivalled, although he was also re-
nowned as a strategist and tactician.
Cool, Efficient Enigma
During all the years the British
people had looked on Kitchener's
silent, but effective work, they had
never been able to fathom his person-
ality. A cockney non-commissioned
officer, who had seen much service
under hint, summed up the general
opinion when he said of Kitchener:
" 'E's no talker. 'E's all steel and
Vice." Ills face was that of a roan
who neither asked sympathy nor want-
ed it. Ile had steady, blue -gray pas.

CYCLONE IN PERTH
Immense Property Lon in Tornado and
In Storms Elsewhere.
toll of one dead, several injured
and immense property lose was taken
by a storm of cyclone force which
swept through Logan Township be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock on the afternoon
of May 2nd. Philip Sheen, aged 23,
son of Mr, and Mrs. John Sheen, of
the 13th concession, was struck in the
head by a flying timber and killed,
His parents were bruised by debris,
but will both recover. Their farm,
buildings, as well as thoee fn the en-
tire district near by, were demolished.
Orchards were uprooted and trees
hurled hundreds of feet through the
air,
The tornado of wind, was accompan-
ied by heavy electrical disturbances,.
Lightning struck at many places in
the surrounding country and added to
the damage.
The farm of John Bannerman, lot 7,
concession 14, Logan, the old Goforth
homestead, was the first in the track
of the cyclone. The big bank barn
was leveled to the ground and the large
frame house, the driveehed and the
woodshed were hurled from their
places and smashed to the earth.
There was no one at home at this time
and a serious loss of life was thus prob-
ably avoided. The orchard on the
Bannerman farm is gone, every tree
being torn up bodily. Shade trees far-
' d no better.
The force of the storm pointed east
ro the farm of John Sheen, across the
road. The frame barn was caught,
crushed and strewn over 50 acres, The
tone house, with walls two feet thick,
was practically demolished, The or-
chard was ruined. The Sheens, father,
mother and son, were in the barn w,hen
the cyclone struck, They got out and
were snaking progress towards the
house, when suddenly it was struck
by the force of the strong and crum-
bled.
At this moment Philip Sheen was
struck in the head with a huge plank,
Ind his skull was crushed. The father
was hit in the head by a flying bould-
er, and the mother was overwhelmed
by an avalanche of debris. The build-
ings were litterally blown to pieces
and scattered near and far.
Timbers 40 feet long and 10 inches
quare hurled through the air like
oothpieks, being carried a distance of
100 or 150 yards.
Neighbors were quickly on the scene
after the violence of the gale had
passed and Dr, Smith, of Mitchell was
called to attend to Mr, and Mrs, Shean.
Their son was already dead.
The farm of Dalton Bannerman wan
next. Hie barn was destroyed.
.Farther east the storm wrought
havoc with the buildings of Wm. Dit-
mer, but lifted somewhat at this point
and swept off in a northerly direction.
A number of animals were killed 011
'he farms in the district by lightning
and by falling debris.
Another gale of similar violence par-
alleled this one some five miles west of
here, and a number of buildings were
deetroyeld.
Hail as large as marbles and in some
instances as large as plums, fell for
several minutes at Chatham early
Friday evening, breaking windows in
homes and leveling plants and flowers
to the ground. In several houses on
Lorne avenue and that section of the
city, :window panes were shattered by
the balls of ice.
Owing to the immaturity of the
grain in this country it is not thought
that much damage was done to crops.
The hailstorm was preceded • by a se-
vere electrical storm,
A house on Lorne avenue occupied
by William • Ziegler was struck by
lightning, but not a great deal of dam-
age was done, During anotner storm
at 4 o'clock this afternoon the resi-
dence of A. B. McCoig, M.P,, on La
Croix street, was struck. The chim-
ney was demolished and the mantel in
the breakfast room was damaged.
Other havoc was wrought in the resi-
dence, Both Mr. and Mrs, Mc(loig
were at home, but fortunately in
another part of the house and neither,
was injured.
