HURRAY KITCHENER TO THE PYRAMIDS

Engli

sh General Too Severe

a Critic of the Secretary of War. 1 (Special Cable from the International News Service.) BY HERBERT TEMPLE London, Aug. 12. Lord. Kitchener's Appointment as English agent in Egypt .has been he cause of much comment. Those who are most directly interested, the Egyptians, are of course, not Very pleased to see the late Sir Kldon Gorst, a man of liberal ideas, who had granted them as much relief as he possibly could, replaced by a stern military dlsciuplinarian, a creature of blood and iron of the Bismarckian type. They see nothing but trouble Ahead. Lord Kitchener himself is said not to be very pleased. It is rumored he accepted only because his reputation would have suffered, if he bad once snore refused an offer from the government, and the Unionist press which Strongly championed him as the one in all England fit to fill the position, now sees in his appointment only a trick of Mr. Haldene, who is anxious to get rid of a merciless critic of his administration of the war department. A leading Unionist political magazine here writes: "Lord Haldene will now be at liberty to go about his beautiful scheme for destroying the efficacy of the army s a fighting machine, in almost entire , peace. As long as Lord Kltchenetr was In England and without employment, the scandal of his exclusion from all participation of the councils ' of the war office was flagrant and disquieting. Lord Haldene knew perfectly well that if once Lord Kitchener were 'allowed a say in the affairs of the War office there would be a speedy end of Haldanism and the Haldene legend and as the Haldene legend is of much more Importance to Lord Haldane than the honor and safety of his native land he has been very careful to keep Lord Kitchener out. All the same the must have had occasional qualms, and he no doubt looks upon the vaicancy at the Consulate-Generate in i Egypt as a special intervention of Providence on his behalf. t Needless to say, Lord Kitchener is a i splendid man for the place, and If the exigencies of Haldanism prevent him from putting things stratight at the far office, we can at least rejoice that he will be able to undo the mischief which recent weakness has caused in Egypt. - Lord Kitchener's return to Egypt recalls many incidents .to thos who knew him in his younger days, before he succeeded. to the Sirdershlp. His great services in connection with the reorganization of the Egyptian army are almost forgotten today, but the words of Field-Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, V. C., the first Sirdar, may be recalled.' It is some years now since the Incident happened. Sir Eveylon was asked at dinner one night how It had come about that such a smart and intelligent force had been got together in such a comparitlvely short space of time, "Well, it was like this.' replied the veteran soldier. "I did a bit; Frank Grenfell (Now Field Marshal Lord Grenfell) did a bit; and Kitchener did a deuce of a lot." i There Is considerable friendship between these three soldier. They were photographed together once, in company with the present Sirdar, Sir. Reginald Wingate. An enlarged copy was presented to the Khedive and it now occupies a prominent position in the Royal palac in Cairo. .

pieces of special design, and in certain instances Indian gold and Indian gems are being used. In each .instance, morocco cases in' which the gifts are to be placed will bear inscriptions in gold, ' setting forth the occasion. These gifts will mostly be reserved for distribution at their majesties' pleasure after arrival, but in some instances their destination will be decided beforehand. The king and queen wil take with them all that national orders for their own use. As they will pay no visits to other potentates in the course of the voyage they will not need any foreign orders. An ample supply of insignia of the Indian orders will be taken out, and there will be in Investiture at which the available members of eahc order will be present with all the ensigns of chivalry. There is to be a very large distribution of the Kaiseri- Hind medal, and also the Imperial service medal, which will be received by all and sundry who render any service in connection with the pageantry.

. The whole equipment to be used by King George and Queen Mary in India during the Durbar in December, has now been dispatched East from the port of London. A portion of these stores will be retained at Bombay In readiness to be loaded on the special train as soon as the Royal party arrives. The remainder will be sent on to 'Delhi, where it will arrive at the end of this month. The Royal couple wil take with them a very large assortment of jewelry to be distributed as presents among the favored ones on Indian society.' A large number of portriatis are being made ready, in oil, water-color, photogravure, and photography, together with some miniatures on ivory and silk. Each of the Crown Jewelers has received a commission to supply some

Before she leaves for Indian Queen Mary will, probably during next month pay a visit to her aunt, the Grand Duchess Dowager of MecklanburgStrelitz, either at Neu-Strelitz or as Hepp Schloss, her beautiful place near Dresden, where she generally" spends six or eight weeks in the summer. For many years the Grand Duchess paid an annual visit to England and stayed either at her own house in Buckingham Gate or. at Kew Cottage. The queen is devoted to her aged aunt, who is very musical and artistic -and was formerly a good reader. The grand duchess is als a wonderful linguist and tells a good story equally well in French, English or German. In her early married life at the little court of Neu-Strelitz she encountered many difficulties, as her husband's compatriots did not at first under

stand her English ways, and German

etiquette proved very irksome to the Princess, who was accustomed to the comparitive freedom of the English court. When Queen Mary pays her visit to the Grand Duchess she will take with her several ivory miniatures that she discovered at Windsor under rathel curious circumstances some two or three years ago. Queen Mary was holding one of her favorite investigations of the many half-forgotten treasures of the Castle when she unearthed quite a large collection of these miniatures, mostly of the later Georgian and Early Victorian period. It has been possible to identify the majority of these, and they are now displayed in the state apartments. A few, however, still remain unidentified, and the queen is taking these with her in the hope that the Grand Duchess . may be able to recognize them. The object of the visit, however, is to enable the Grand Duchess to see the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary. Queen Mary will stay at NeuStrelitz for at least a week and will subsequently pay a private visit to the German Emperor and Empress. Queen , Mary and her daughter will then return home together, while the Prince of Wales will remain behind to witness the army maneuvres in company with the Kaiser. 7 There is the highest authority for contradicting the abscure rumor that the Prince of Wales will visit New York when he embarks upon one of the battleships of the Home fleet for a short cruise in the. autumn. Such a statement carries its own contradiction upon the face of it. In the first place the Home fleet never leaves European waters and there is no intention of departing from this custom. In no sense of the word is this to be treated as a pleasure cruise for the Prinje. aLter, it was arranged some time ago, the Prince of Wales and Prince Albert will take a prolonged tour and when this takes place there is a great probability that the United States will bevisited by their Royal Highnesses. No preparations, however, have been made for this at the moment and it is hardly likely to take place before 1913 at the earliest. The Prince's forthcoming cruise will last for about a month or a little longer.

THE BARGAIN CHASE. American Women . and the 8hopping Game Mania. More money is wasted every year by women buying needless things under the excitement of the bargain bunt than Is spent in all the gambling houses and race tracks put together, says Mary Heaton Vorse in Success Magazine. When you say that I have no statistics to prove this I answer that I have common sense and have spent much time in city shops. 1 know, too, what I am capable of. apd I am but a half hearted hunter. 1 know what my friends do. It isn't for nothing that I have seen earnest young students of economics succumb to this bunting instinct and fare forth to buy ninety-eight cent undergarments. It is not only in the stores frequented by poor or uneducated women that I have seen the more brutal Instincts of the human race come to the surface. I have seen a charming looking elderly woman in a high class store snatch a dress length of gray voile from the bands of another elderly woman, and the reason 1 happened to see these sights was because I myself was at the sale looking at garments I didn't want and didn't need and buying them The bargain chase, the shopping game passion or sport, life work or recreation for it may be any one of these, according to- the temperament of the woman has American women well in its grip. Hardly one of ns escapes some one of the psychological deviations from tha normal which 1 have mentioned.

THE ECONOMY

of the McFarlan Six was demonstrated in the 200 mile race at the Indianapolis peedway, Sept. 5, 1910, in which It averaged 17 miles for each gallon of gasoline consumed. Not a four cylinder car in the race of the same piston displacement showed such a good mileage on gasoline consumed. The economy of the "six" over the "four" under .road conditions where the gears of the four would have to be shifted and the engine speeded up is- apparent because transmitting power through transmission gears and speeding up the engine produces extra friction and wastes energy. Let us demonstrate a McFarlan Six to you.

the repudiation of the once undisputed leader of his party. And so it happens that the managers of both parties are wondering what is to come of it alL They all agree that the Colonel has his friends amongst the people. To deny that would be folly. He has thousands of friends and warm friends too, but he has not the leading men of the present-day Democratic party behind him. and from appearances, he will not have them should his ambition lead to another nomination. The effect of this controversy upon the political fortunes of Mr. Underwood is being widely speculated upon in Washington. Already an Underwood presidential boom has been started, and this before the break with Bryan. Now the House has committed itself to Underwood, not only as floor leader, but as a violent opponent of Mr. Bryan.

Some of the Alabaman's . friends therefore believe that this break, cou-

pled with Underwood's masterful handling of the tariff situation in the House, means that he is today the most promising man in his - party, whether in or out of Congress. Some of the more entnusiastic believe that he can win the nomination of the presidency, if he conducts himself in the regular session in December as he has in the special session and he will be In the 6a me rank with Woodrow Wilson, Judson Harmon and Eugene Foss. Whatever else the present situation has developed it- has demonstrated the fact that William Jennings Bryan is no longer the '"peerless leader" of his party. . -
