LONDON, May 20. in a free dis cussion by the newspapers of the ministers' abilities, even Lord Kitch ener has not escaped criticism. The first public criticism of the work of the secretary for war came from the Times today, which said: "Against such wise advice he (Earl Kitchener) Insisted upon keep ing in his own hands the control of questions with which the war office Is far too preoccupied to deal. He could not raise Immense new armies and direct the industrial organiza tion as well." Charges at Tines. The Times asserts that offers by manu facturers to make shells were coldly re jected, and after months had been lost they were implored to begin. The rail Mall Gasetto goes further and says: "Hercules Is not quite as young as he was," and remarking that 'the call of the east has always attracted Kitchener, nominates him for viceroy of India; "or," It adds, "If he prefers to stsy at home, we suggest that the old offloc of commandor-ln-chlef be revived for him," The paper continues: 'Events have heaped on Ird IKtebener's shoulders a burden that a super-Napoleon could not sustain." Declaring that the country could never l.e sufficiently grateful for what Kitch ener has done In raising men, the Pall Mall Gazette ' says: "The problem of T'ovidlng war materials involves the handling of the democracy, and no sol dier can solve It."
