He was an Irishtaan by birth, There was nothing of ctacular leader about him, He standing in picturesque attitudes and shouting epigrams. War to him was as ) much a trade as is sloemaking.

For example, 4 horde of Soudanese fanatics, under the Mahdi, butchered Egyptian gare risons and drove all foreigners and ali Christians out of the rich country | of the Soudan, They murered the English General Gordon, set at gaught | England's power. To Kitchener, at last, was assigned the task of reclaiming the Soudasy He did not charge into the hostile country at the head of an avenging exe dition, He made no grandstand plays. Instead, he { Pg } worked out the problem tn ‘bis usual mathematicas Never Posed $ style, playing the Iron Game with as careful an ao« —wwen? curacy as though # were a chess tournament, 7 As a result of his moves, he presently had the Soudanese horde where he wanted it, And, with one mighty blow, at Omdurman, Sept. 2, 1898, be crushed the enemy and freed the Soudan. For this exploit, Kitchener was raised to the British peerage and res ceived a gift of $150,000 from the nation. ‘Thence, two years later, he was sent to South Africa, as chief of staff, at the outbreak of the Boer War. Here, gradually, he worked out bie problem along the customary mathematical lines. And, applying thas formula to the Boer armies, he reduced them to surrender, Once more the British nation rewarded the victor who did bis fighting (tke, Tybalt's) “by the book of arithmetic.” Kitchener was made Viscouns and received another $150,000, Then came his carecr ag governmental added new laurels to bis wreath. front him. Tho recent war with Germany burst into murderous life tn 1914. Ing spite of all Lord Roberts's efforts, Great Britain was still far from a true state of preparedness for so terrific a conflict. And Kitchener was called upon to solve the greatest problom of his life, Once more he made good. He whipped into shape Pngland’s throngs of volunteers. He brought to effictency the tangled snarl of military confusion. He was the Man of the Hour—the man to whom his country looked for salvation from their Boche foes. And they did not look to him in vain With the meagre means at his command, he achieved miracles, Het tans; sent across the Channel “the first hundred thousand" { area ne ae others who helped to stem the victorious German Advance. onrush.
