May 21. One of the most rcmarkabel features of the rain Isterlal crisis In Great Britain at the present moment Is the sudden outbreak more or less severe, ot news- paper attacks on Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, the British secretary of wa.r who at tne outbreak ot hostil ities was the nation's military Idol. The Dally Mall and other news papers under the same ownership haro been most violent In their at tacks. The Dally Mall says: "It never has been pretended that Kitchener la a soldier In tho sense that Field Marshal Sir John French Is a soldier. Kitchener Is a gatherer of men, a Tcry fine gatherer, too, but his record In tho South African war as a fighting general, apart from his excellent organising work as chief of staff, was not brilliant. "Nothing In Kitchener's exper ience suggests that ho has tho qua! Itlcatlons required for conducting a European campaign In the field and wo can hope that no such misfortune will befall this nation as that he should ho permitted to Interfere with tho actual strategy ot this gigantic war." ' Proceeding to accuse Lord Kitchen or ot having "ordered tho wrong kind of shell." tho Daily Malt as sorts that "despite repeated warn tngs that a high exploslro shell was required. Lord Kitchener persisted In sending shrapnel such as he used against tho Boers, thus causing the death or thousands ot British soldiers and Incidentally bringing about a cabinet crisis," OMEN DECLARE FOR PEACE SAN FKAXC1SCO, May 21.

Rockefeller, Jr., resum ed Iiih testimony today before the in dustrial relations commisioii, all the commissioners; except Chairman Walsh met in executive action to consider their round-robin of last night calling for more moderate treatment of witnesses. Home of the commissioners did not conceal that they thought the chairman's ipiestion in;r of Mr. Rockefeller yctcrdny bhould havo been modified. After the executive esion the commissioners did not make public Jheir letter to Chairman Walsh, which it was understood they would do, should their Mijtgestion go unheeded. Chairman Walsh said he did not know what had happened in the executive session. KockercIIcr'sc Sftesett "The examination of Mr. Rockefel ler," he naid, "has and will he con ducted with due consideration and the truth arrived at." Mr. Rockefeller began today by rending a prepared statement which related to Chairman Walsh'n qucs tioning on liii view of the regularity of the conviction of John R. Lawson, a tmneworkcrs' leader. Mr. Rocke feller spoke of sinister "reflectienR" and said Chairman 'Wakh'H ouestieB had ticen framed to mako it appear that Mr. Rockefeller conceded there had been vilh'al 'tnmpcriB)- with the courts. - Chairman Wil.-h read a letter to Mr. Rockefeller by I M. Bowers, for mer superintendent of the executive department of the Colorado Fuel Iron company on November 38, 1913, which included the follewing: "Lit lie Cowboy Governor" "You will be interested to know that we havo been able to secure the co-operation of nil the bankers of the city who have had'three or four in terviews with out little cowboy gov ernor, agreeing to back tho state and lend it all the funds necessary for militia and afford ample protection, so our miners could return to work, or givo protection to those anxious to como hero from Texas, New Mexico and Kansas, together with borne from states farther east. "Resides the bankers, the chamber of commerce, tho real estate exchange together with a great many of the business men, have been urging the governor to take steps to drive these vicioua agitators out of tho state. Another mighty power has been ronnded up in behalf of tho operators by tho gathering together of fourteen of the editors of the most important newspapers in Denver, Pueblo, Tnn idad, Walsenburg, Colorado Springs and other of the larger places in the state. Hobaofca With Guff "Still the governor hobnobs with Hays, Luwson, McLennau and the rest of tho' gang, and either refuses or begs for more time to bring the strike to an end or to amply protect the operators in bringing in outsiders to take tho places of those who have loft and those engaged in those mur dorous assaults whom we refuse to take back under any circumstances. et we aro making a little headway i "There probably never has been such pressure brought to bear upon any governor of this state by the strongest men in it as ha been , Continued on page three) V SBBIBSBBBBSB AUSTRIAN CROWDS SHOW PAfHOTISM BUDAPEST, lIUBsry, May 91, On receipt ef the wsr-IIke news frem Italy great crowds psrsdsd the trt In a patriotic dmuGBstratlau.
