Secret Mission
to
Balkans or Egypt
London, Nov. 6.—The Post says
that Bar] Kitchener, secretary for
war. ha* heen entrusted with an
important mission to the near east,
and already has departed from
London.
Earl Kitchener has made several
trips to France during the war and
has been absent from London on
other occasions. Never before, how
ever, has it been considered neces
sary for the premier or any other
cabinet member to take up his of
fice duties, subordinates doing the
work.
Prior to his departure, Earl
Kitchener had a conference in
London with General Joffre, com
mander-in-chief of the French
armies, and with King George. The
belief is that the 'hero of Khar
toum" and the French general de
vised a plan of campaign which
promised success for the' allies in
the Balkans and that King George
intrusted Kitchener with the mis
sion of personally carrying it out.
Among those speculating on his
objective there are some who inti
mate that British interests in Egypt
are menaced and that the war sec
retary, being familiar with every
foot of that country and the habits
of its people, has been sent to
Egypt Others believe he has gone
to the Galllpoii peninsula..
The court circular said that Earl
Kitchener had an audience with the
king last night Soon afterward
Premier Asqulth took charge of the
_jwar office. Later'in the day this of
ficial announcement was Issued:
"During Lord Kitchener's tempo
rary absence on public duty the
prime minister is carrying on* the
work at the War office. There is no
truth in the statement that Lord
Kitchener has resigned."
It was officially announced this
evening that Field Marshal Earl
Kitchener had gone to the eastern
theater of war. The official state
ment read:
"Earl Kitchener at the request of
his colleagues has left England for
a short visit to the eastern theater
of war."
Uzzell & Co. is also a complete loss.
Several small stores are either partial
ly or completely destroyed.
~W. H. Bagley, business manager of
the News and Observer, was painfully
lniured by a falling piece of machin
ery while attempting to get books out

First estimates of the fire loss, while
the fire waa still burning, was 230,000.
