KITCHENER, ORGANISER
HIS BIOGRAPHER’S TRIBUTE Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received December 5, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 4. A striking tribute to Kitchener was paid by Sir George Arthur, his biographer, at the annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars’ Association. “Kitchener told me the very day that he entered the War Office that he was determined that seventy divisions should be England's contribution to the war," said Sir George. "Sixteen months later he was able to say that sixty-eight were afoot and two being moulded. A few weeks after the war began Kitchener told me that it was most important that the British Army should reach full strength by the beginning of the third year. In July, 1917, precisely the moment he had arranged, the British armies reached their high water mark."
