MILITARY BREAK WRECKED CABINET French Ministry Sacrificed by Blunder. To Appease Kitchener. Now York, Sept. 23.-The failure of the -military governor of Lille to give reinforcements to the British forces at a time when they faced annhilation during the battle of the Mons, the re sultant protest by Lord Kitchener, Great Britain's secretary of war, made to President Poincare, brought about the recent resignation of the Frencht cabinet, according to Dr. Fred S. Ma son of New York, who arrived here to day on tle Olymple. Dr. Mason was allowed by Surgeon Gen. IUndenbell or British ex pedilitionlary forces to vlsit various hospitals prepared for the wounded. At Bloulogne 'en. 1elle inl troduced himt to a well informed ofil cal of rank. The following is a ire liort of the facts as the official is said to have stated them to ,Dr. Mason: "Wh en a fotce of about 100,00o British under (ell. French were op-, posed by more than twiee that nm ber of Germans of (en. von Kluck's army at Mons, Glen. French saw he was in a desperate situation. After the first day of fighting, when the GIerinaus threatened to surron(d the ertire Britich expeiditionary force, Gen. French made an earnest appeal to (,en. .Joffre, requesting support. ".Joffro wired instruct ilons to the governor of Lille to seld hiis garrison of 4P,000 Ilen to sipport tle IIt isi forces. It appears, however, that the governor put tite telegram in his pock et for .S houirs, in order, I(. said. to allow women anti children to evalCu ate Ille, and this nearly brou ght about a defeat of the allies and was one of the main reasons they were obliged to retreat toward Paris. Theo 1 Prits Iit their way out of the German tral) at t ilenldotis loss. They were in full retreat away from Mons when rein forcements arrived. "Although Gen. iPrench made cas ual mlentiotn of the alleged failure of the Frentcll forces to assist him In his oflicial report, designed for pub lication, he setit a complete report and a bitter complaint direct to Lord Kitchener saying the failure of the French to answer his plea put Ills whole army in jeopardy. "Lord Kitchener was furious. lie made a secret trip to Paris and laid his complaint against the dilatory gov ernor of Ille before President Poin care and the French minister of war. The latter, who was a friend of the general complained against, refused to punish him. President Poineare. however, to make every concession to Lord Kitchener. forced the resignation of the whole cabinet. This was Au gust 28, about a week after the battle of Mons. A serious crisIs in the affairs of the allies was thus averted and Loqrd Kitchener triiilihd in his de nmand. The governor of Lille ha; been sent to an obscure post of duty." * IN MEMO-- -A M. * Mrs. Cora McGowvan Moore, the siub ject of tihis sketch, was born on tihe 25th day of August, 18-45, near Cross -Hill, Laurens county, S.
