Probably not one out of a hundred soldiers saw him. The army went on with Its work, ho saw It at work and choso what he wished to see. The only ceremonious affair was a parade of Indian cavalry which Lord Kitchener reviewed. Ah thoro Is no speed limit on the main roads In tho military zone ho was not long in get ting from point to point. When ho left the car to go on foot, tho offi cers conducting him found It took n good pedestrian to keep up. liitoirstcil In Trendies Kitchener showed particular Inter est In the trenches, fortifications and all tho conditions actually rotating to tho renl fighting. It was a ticklish moment for his nldc, nifd tho officers In command of that section when ho went to Ypres, which Is still subject ed to Intermittent shelling. It In cer tain that If tho Germans had known of his presenco they would havo giv en more than a snluto of seventeen guns to which tho secretary for war is entitled. Tho field marshal plckod his way through tho former streets, among the wrecKago, saw a 17-lnoh shell hole In tho plaza, the remains of tho Cloth Hall and other sights, an Im pressive exnmplo of tho destructive power of modorn sholl fire. Kiicmy Is Unseen It happened whon Kitchen was vis iting u hoavy battory a characteristic action of tronch warfaro developed on tho only part of tho lino that has scon any action this week. At I'll kon, north of Ypres, tho Gormans commanded two small hills, which gavo tlioni a punishing advantage over tho Ilrltlsli trenches In their front. Tho Hrltish determined to try to rectify tliolr lino and after tho usual artillery preparation, thoy charged and by a fieo uso of bombs; took 2&0 yards of German tronchos, SO prisoners and two mncbluo guns. Tho battery which Kitchener was vis iting was called upon to assist In the work of repulslng.tho counter at tack, to locovor lost ground, which failed. Tho war minister saw no more of tho conflict than anyone not engaged can soo In a wooded flat country. From his viewpoint tho battery screenod tho sight of tho enemy. Tho gunners tliemsohos could not sue tho enemy.
