Admiral Jellicoe reports there is little hope that there were any sur- vivor: Jellicoe's Report, Admiral Jellicoe's report to the ad- miralty follows: “I have to report with deep regret that His Majesty's ship Hampshire, Capt. Herbert J. Savill, R. with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about 8 p. m., to the west of the Orkneys, either by a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was north-northwest and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search but only some bodles and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the sea- ward, I greatly fear that there is lit- llc hnnc of there being any survivors. o report has yet been received from the search party on shore. ‘H. M. S. Hampshire was on her way to Russia.’ The names of the members of Earl Kitchener's staff have not yet been learned. Sir William Robertson, chief of the #nperial staff is in London. England’s Greatest Soldier. rl Kitchener was appointed sec- retary of state for war on August 8, 1914, a few days after Great Britain's declaration of war on Germany. He was regarded as England’s greatest soldier, and the decision of the gov- ernment to entrust him with supreme direction of the war was received with unanimous approval. As the war progressed and Great Britain’s deficiencies in certain direc- tions, particularly in regard to short- age of artillery ammunition, became apparent, Earl Kitchener was sub- jected to severe criticism, led by Lord Northcliffe. The secretary was charged with responsibility for failure to foresee the extraordinary demand for heavy shells, and as a result the ministry of munitions was formed, with David Lloyd-George at its head. Earl Kitchener's responsibilities were further lessened by the appoint- ment of General Sir William Rober! son as chief of the imperial staff in December of last year. It was report- ed at this time that friction had aris- en between rl Kitchener and Field Marshal French, then in command of the British forces in France. Shortly after the appointment of Gen. Rob- ertson, Field Marshal French relin- Aggressiveness | J0 KILLED, 250 HURT, ' WHEN TORNADOES RAGE Appalling Loss of Life Re- ! ported from Ten Ark.

The revolt broke out in December, 1915, when the president announced his intention of establishing a monarchy and ascend- ing the throne as the first emperor of a new dynasty.
