When the European crisis came, England Instinctively turned to Lord Kitchener foj* military counsel and command. The government forthwith made him secretary of state for war, and In that capacity he now guards his country's fortune. Whether Kitchener be the ereatent Hritish soldier since Wellington, as many assert, he is undoubtedly one of the most stalwart and gifted. Lord Roseberry once referred to him as "'Our great patient General," a title by which he was ever nrterwards remembered and which seems to express most happily the distinctive qualities of his genius. Some sixteen years ago, after his memorable victory in Egypt, when he was raised to the peerage and given tha thanks of Parliament, he was described by Gorge W. Steevcns, the noted war correspondent, as standing "'several inches over six feet, strnight as a lance, and looking out imperk . iously above most men's heads." "'His motions are deliberate and strong," the writer continued; "slender but firmly knit, he seems built for tireless, steelwirc endurance, rather than for power ami agility. Steady, passionless eyes, shaded by decisive brows; brick-red rather full cheeks, a long mustache beneath which you divine the immovable mouth; his face is harsh, and neither appeals for affection, nor stirs dislike." Rut all these features, Steevcns declared, were irrelevant; "neither age, nor figure nor face, nor any accident of person has any bearing on the essential commander." Then followed this peculiarly strik0 ing touch to the portrait: "You would imagine the character just the same, if all the externals were different. He has no age but the prime of life, no body but one to carry his mind, no face but one to keep his brain behind. The brain and the will are the essence and the whole of the man?a brain and will so perfect in their workings that, in the face of the extremest difficulty, they have never seemed to know what struggle Is." UAchnet l/ltnkA?AS iiui aiiw nriurii i\ i v v nuiici ? nn born in Ireland at Bally Longford, County Kerry, in June, 1850, the son of Lieutenant Colonel H. H. Kitche^ , - -?- ner. After completing the courses * ^ in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwick, he was made second lieutenant of the Royal Engineers, and I in 1871 was designated to surveys in Palestine and Cyprus. In 1885, having been promoted to the rank of captain, he was transferred to the Egyptian army, which was then being trained and upbuilt by British officers. It was the nthat he gave token of his genius and began the K career that was to mount slowly but steadily to fame. Having been attached to the staff of the British expeditionary force on the Nile, he set about with characteristic energy and method to learn the country and the people with whom he had to deal. A writer in The New York Times relates that he studied and mastered the Arabic speech and, "disguising himself as an Arab, mixed freely with the natives." Ills passion for work and his command of detail, the same observer adds, "earned for him . the recognition <>f 8tr Evelyn Wood ? - and Lord Wolsoley, who wf.-e at the head of the British army In Egypt; he proved the grasp r.nd foresight of Egyptians and boldly grappled with the problems of protecting Egypt from the wild tribes." Early in the eighteen-nineties, he was made commander in chief of the V Egyptian army, and began his historic labor, first of conquest and then of construction, in the Sudan. Here he proved the grasp and foresight of his administrative talent. His problem waa largely that of establishing order and clvizllation in a half savage region. Year after year he pressed forward acioss the Sudanese desert, steadily building a railroad in the wake of his military victories until in September, 1898, by the capture of Khartum, he completely overcame the wild tribesmen and secured English and Egyptian rule. Sir Henry Campbell-Brannerman characterized this achievement as "constituting one of the most brilliant pages I ill the history of British iirnis." A year Intey, when he was governor general of the Sudan. Kitchener was appointed chief of staff to Lord Roberts in the Boer war. In the ensuing campaign, lie was of valuable service in facilitating the British march across the veldts. "During the duties connected with the mill, tenance of the tines of communication with ('ape Colony," a historian ^ write.*, "he was in liequent contact I with Hoar contingents, ano on one occasion narrowly escaped capture at tho hands of Generul I)e Wet. whom he defeated toward the end of the year.'' Upon Ix>rd Roberts' return to England in 1900, Kitchener assumed chief command, and continued the war SKainst the Doers until satisfactory terms of peace were made in 1902. Seme months later he was appointed commander in chief of India, a post which he held for seven yearn and at which he accomplished farreaching reforms. Interestingly enough. Kitchener participated in the war Between France and Germany forty-four years ago. He was then barely out of his 'teens, and was on a visit to France when ho attached ..imself to the Second Army of the Ix>ire, under General Chanzy. The French forces, howorer, were driven to disastrous retreat, and the young British lieutenant saw little service. His veterans experience r.nd mastery of military science are now invaluable to England, and It is appropriate, indeed, that his long career should be crowned with such service in so striking an hour of British history.
