LORD KITCHENER

RpECIBI to The Guardian.

LONDON, April 2B—King Edward handed Lord Kitchener the baton of Field-Marshall at an audience at Buck-lnglmm Palace today.

The Government decided air-finitely that, Lord Kitchener shall take the Mediterranean appointment in spite of the popular clamor in favor of placing him at the h-ead of t‘.ie home forces.

In the Commons, Haldane, secre- tary for war, stated it was proposed “m; Lord Kitchener should shortly commence his (iut-ies as l-‘lciii .\lnr- shall and Commander of liieilitciiuiii- gar) with headquarters at Malta.

Lord Kitchener, intervicived with reference to the defence of Australia, said thatjor £1,700,000 a year Aus- tralia will ‘have a complete system that will make her secure against at.- tack and she will no longer nw-d to look to the Mother (loiintry for in- stant ‘aid in the event of ‘longer. 'l‘lie amount of money is trivial to. such n rich country.

Lord Kitchener added that I-Tng- land was not decadent and whatever anyone may say or think her sons ni'e as good as cvcr and us lull oi hcait.

B-he is quite able under (loll to de- termine her own destinies.

She needs help from none of children or from strangers and can quite take care of herself.

She is yet in full youth and in no sense dccailent.

Siir John Dickson-Poyndei‘ ninplczis- izeil the necessity of West lrdlun Qu- gar merchants employing llu-(lern methods.

In reference to the liPq-llllici‘. ftir re- ciprocity between the islands and Canada he hoped the ‘Nest ladies as a whole would come into the scheme.

He believed the people ..l (‘nnnda and the islands realized ‘that this vilas a rare opportunity to improve uni increase thcir truilc intcrc. -., to unite two important parts oi the liri- tish Dominion and to iuid nnotliei‘ biivding link to the chain of the lini- pirc.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT IN THE P.E.i.R. TIMETABLE

tween Summerside lind Ch'town Gun - lluve . From Six to Seven and u Half Hours Daily Here With Little or No Ex- tru Expense “to u... Ruli- way.

[referred to the from Hum-

Al previously present train service niersiile to this city and re- turn daily is quite inade- quate for the travelling public. Last month the Western Prince. Summer- side and Charlottetown Boards of Trade recommended that, in addition to the present schedule, a mixed train leave Hummerside every morn- ing at 7.30 and arrive in this city at 10.30 a. m.; leave here on return at 4.30 p. m. and arrive i_n Summerside at 7.20 p. m. This would give six hours for business here. Until this is done or if it be objected to on the ground of the ex- llense of an extra train and crew thefcfor, there is still a way by which the people along the railway line can be accommodated without it. It is therefore suggested that a schedule similar to the following be adoptcdr- lsIXPREf-lr}.

Leave (‘h‘f.own. ' Arrive Wrilde. Leave S‘t-lide.. Arrive (lh'town...

MIXED.

Leave S’l~‘.ide .... .. Arrive "t‘.li'tuivfi.. (ilarrying through freigbt.)' Leave (.‘.li'towfi... ......... .. 4.00 p.m. Arrive H':~lide.. ......... .. (3.45 p.m. (Carrying thiough" freight.)

By the ‘aibove arrangement all trains betiveen Summerslde ‘and this city could arrive at their destinations on time, barring accidents, throughout the entire season.

Thus two trains could do the work between Summerside and Tig- nish; the one wh-ich comes from Tig- nish to Snmmerside in the morning as an express would return during the day as a mixed, and the one which comes from Tignish to Sum-

MONTREAL WOMAN AHRESTEI) IN NEW YORK UN KIDNAPPING CHARGE

NEW YORK, April 27—A ‘well-dress- ed woman, who said she was Mrs‘! Alfred Grunge, of 421 Laval street, Montreal, was arrested on board the

merside during the day as a mixed would return at night as an express. Under these circumstances the morn- ing train from Tignishwvoulil not re- quire to leave so early as at pres- ent, and could return at whatever hour would best accommodate tliu sections concerned. There would thus be the same num-ber of trains west of Sumniereidn as at present.

Passengers could make one through trip either from Charlottetown to Tignlsli or vice versa each day with- outdelay. 'l‘o make the return in a day between Tiguish and this city

it‘ would lie necessary that tho ex- press leave Tignish much too early each morning, and this would not

seem necessary to accommodate the few who would use it, for it ivouiil be a great inconvenience to so many.

By the above arrangement the (‘ape Traverse train would remain in Sum- mcrside within ten miuiites of the

total time it remains at present. The suggested arrangement would give the people along ' tli-e

railway line the much needed accom- modations at little if any extra cost for the following reasons: The freight trafilc between Summerside and Charlottetown is so great that the one regular mixed train cannot handle it and reach this city on time. and, even if it could, but four hours, including that for the noon meal, is. not by any means hing enough in which to transact business here.
