"Kitchener of Chicago" "for exactly
one hour and thirty minutes today.'

a reporter who boarded the train orv
the outskirts of tha city. Lord Kitch
ener aaked and answered question
with good humor.
n militarism, the General spoke
guardedly, aytng: "One must be
careful Wbett. a thoughtless word
might be wrongfully taken to mean
something one did not Intend It to.
"I see no reason whv International
peace should not continuo from this
very moment. One never know, how
ever, when something will stir up
trouble and war does not announce .
luelf far In advance It always pay
to keep one's powder dry."
' I that an rvpreeslmi of F.ngland s

asked.
"Weg I shouldn't put It that broad-

world, but our surest wav Is alwai

International agreement shall be
reached, if su-h there be. England
will, by being ready at all times, he,
aide to lend that Influence towards
peace I think that I may say thst.
In a general way. without respect to
my mlHatry position there."
Asked what he cnnaldered the chief
factor tending to International peace,
tho UcnerHl relied.
"Food I think food Is of th
first. The Vananiu I'unj! hus come

He characterised the political
aspect of the Pacific Ocean an a hard
question to answer.
