To Appease Kitchener.
Now York, Sept. 23.-The failure of
the -military governor of Lille to give
reinforcements to the British forces
at a time when they faced annhilation
during the battle of the Mons, the re
sultant protest by Lord Kitchener,
Great Britain's secretary of war, made
to President Poincare, brought about
the recent resignation of the Frencht
cabinet, according to Dr. Fred S. Ma
son of New York, who arrived here to
day on tle Olymple. Dr. Mason was
allowed by Surgeon Gen. IUndenbell or
British ex pedilitionlary forces to vlsit
various hospitals prepared for the
wounded. At Bloulogne 'en. 1elle inl

cal of rank. The following is a ire
liort of the facts as the official is said
to have stated them to ,Dr. Mason:
"Wh en a fotce of about 100,00o
British under (ell. French were op-,
posed by more than twiee that nm
ber of Germans of (en. von Kluck's
army at Mons, Glen. French saw he
was in a desperate situation. After
the first day of fighting, when the
GIerinaus threatened to surron(d the
ertire Britich expeiditionary force,
Gen. French made an earnest appeal
to (,en. .Joffre, requesting support.
".Joffro wired instruct ilons to the
governor of Lille to seld hiis garrison
of 4P,000 Ilen to sipport tle IIt isi
forces. It appears, however, that the
governor put tite telegram in his pock
et for .S houirs, in order, I(. said. to
allow women anti children to evalCu

a defeat of the allies and was one of
the main reasons they were obliged to

t ilenldotis loss. They were in full
retreat away from Mons when rein
forcements arrived.
"Although Gen. iPrench made cas
ual mlentiotn of the alleged failure of
the Frentcll forces to assist him In
his oflicial report, designed for pub
lication, he setit a complete report
and a bitter complaint direct to Lord
Kitchener saying the failure of the
French to answer his plea put Ills
whole army in jeopardy.
"Lord Kitchener was furious. lie
made a secret trip to Paris and laid
his complaint against the dilatory gov
ernor of Ille before President Poin
care and the French minister of war.
The latter, who was a friend of the
general complained against, refused
to punish him. President Poineare.
however, to make every concession to
Lord Kitchener. forced the resignation
of the whole cabinet. This was Au
gust 28, about a week after the battle
of Mons. A serious crisIs in the affairs
of the allies was thus averted and
Loqrd Kitchener triiilihd in his de
nmand. The governor of Lille ha; been
sent to an obscure post of duty."
