A r 1"it-, y. .1 ui- m, British War Lc \irUL TU*., I Willi i Vij Kitchener of Khartum Drovor Lference in Russia?News J People?Creator of IS y London, ^ane 6.?The news that i fctofctoifieiier, secretary of state for j his staff, who were proceed^to Russia aboard the cruiser mpshire, were lost off the Orkney inds last night, was the most stung blow Gi'eat Britain has received ce the war began. This is the ond shock the country has sustain?? n-ooL- Thp r*th?>r was w uuiu a n wa. ? v.hen the newspapers appeared Friday evening with the first intelligence of the naval batle in the ^North sea in the form of a list of the ships lost, with virtually no intimation that there was any compensation in the j ? way of enemy losses. The bulletin j I telling of the death of Kitchener gave { f the country an even greater shock. i Kitchener was the one outstanding i personality whom the people talked of and 'believed in a great man, notwithstanding newspaper attacks which at a iormer period of the war threatened to undermine his popularity and the Dublic confidence in him. Rumors Spread Fast A telegram from Admiral Sir John JelMcoe, commander of the fleet, giving the bare facts, was received at the admiralty about 11 o'clock in the morning. The first official announcement was issued at about 1:3?> in tbe afternoon. Before noon, however, rumors were spreading. Admiral Jellicoe's report to the ?dmiralty was as follows: "I have to report with deep regret that his majesty's ship Hampshire, ~ * V?X r T? V with 'C.apt. xaerueri j. >???, TjOTd Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about $ p. m. to the west of the Orkney, either by a mine or a torpedo. "Four boats wer<? seen hy observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind h-nrk,rt-hwfist. and heavy seas - -V ? _ ( v/ere running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, tout only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the seaward, I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being any survivors. <4No report has yet been received from the searohing party on shore, i "H.

Whein the official announcement thp fact. sDread I lllliiliv nas ioouv,u ?? l about London some time before the " newspapers could get into the streets. r There was a crowd about the stock t exchange which it required police reI serves to deal with. The police told I every one to move on; that there was I . no truth in the report. P At the same time another mass of I people was assembling about the govI eminent offices in Whitehall. The I closed windows of the war office con- \ firmed the rumor beyond doubt. Other crowds gathered around the newspaper offices and fought for the papers. In the course of tihe afternoon the1 flags on all buildings were flown at half mast. The English undoubtedly are a I stoical people, but no one could have walked the London streets today "without perceiving that something "vrhieh common people took as a caN iaeiity had befallen them. The foreign office was saddened 'by the loss of one of its most valued members, Hugh James O'Bierne; | p while Sir Frederick Donaldson and ' * | Brig. Gen. Ellershaw of the ministry Munitions were known to be men ^ whom the nation could little afford to j B . lose. . 1. M ' rV The fact that the cruiser Hamp-1 B? shire, with between 200 and 300 men j had sunk, was generally accepted simply as an unfortunate detail of these days.

The official news was a greater surprise than it would otherwise have ' been, because no one knew that Earl * 1 l-< 1 3 A Kitchener naa ieu imgiauu. a mc- ( rnoriai service will be held in St. j Paul's. Stepped Into Breach, Karl Kitchener was appointed secretary of state for war on August 8, j I 1914, a few days after Great Britain's J declaration of war on Germany. He i was regarded as England's greatest soldier, and the decision of the government to entrust him with supreme j direction of the war was received with unanimous approval. Ao the war progressed and Great i Entain's ^efficiencies in certain direc- j tions, particularly in regard to the shortage of artillery ammunition, hecame apparent, Earl Kitchener was subjected to severe criticism, led by Lord Xorthcliffe. The secretary was with rpsnonsibilitv for failure VUtti {5VU > ?V4? ? to foresee the extraordinary demand for heavy sheik and as a result the ministry of munitions was formed with David Lloyd-George as its head. ! Earl Kitchener's responsibilities , were further lessened by the appointment of Gen. Sir William Robertson as chief of the imperial staff in DeI cember of last year. It was reported j at that time that friction had arisen I between Earl Kitchener and Field Marshal French, then in command of the B^*ish forces in Prance. Shortly alter the appointment of Gen. Robertson, Field Marshal Frenlh, relinquisn! ed his command. j Notwithstanding the criticism di, rected against Earl Kitchener his great accomplishments during the war are recognized Universally. Foremost of his achievements is the crea tion from England's untrained manhood of a huge army. At the beginning of the yar Great Britain had only a few hundred thousand trained men. Today more than 5,000,000 men are enrolled for the various branches of the service. Good Looks are Easy MagnoKaJOir Balm. j Look as good as your city cousins.

David Wistar Daniel, head of the ; English department in Clemson college, was elected president of Co- i lumbia college yesterday afternoon, i to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. W.

Other I prominent educators were considered : | at the meeting yesterday, but the ! election of Dr. Daniel was unanimous. The new college head had recently l:ad oth?r attractive offers. He was considered seriously for the head of a large institution in another State, which ;ie refused that he might de i vote his talent to educational work in : ' South Carolina. He has also received urgent inducements to give his time to Chautauqua work. He is an eloquent public speaker and has done considerable 'platform work.
