JUSTICE AT LAST.
(New Zealand “Times.”)
One unexpected result of the Gre.it War was the most startling outcome of that conflict. Before the war. Lord Kitchener was recognised as the greatest of Eiiglishtn'en, who had done the greatest service recorded in his country’s annals. When ho died, in the middle of the war, in which he li.ul added colos.sa'ly to that service, lie was taken from the Book of Fame, and his memory was buried under the criticisms, half-sneer-ing, half-patronising, of poor creatures passing for statesmen, who even >coined to regret th.it the North Sett had snatched him out of their sacrilegious, incompetent hands. For Kitchener in that hour there was little honour, and no justice. A stalwart biographer fought hard to stem the ignoble ride of blindness and ingratitude, and many manly friends added strong supporting efforts. As for turning that foetid tide, they were like scattered swimmers in a vast whirlpool.
