HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX, No. 278. CIVILIAN HEAD OF ENCLANQ'S VAST NAVY Should Great Britain Win Out in the Great Conflict, a New Prime Minister May Come. London.—Out of the great war, should Great Britain win out, may come a new prime minister. Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the British ad miralty is ambitious to head the gov ernment. If England’s navy is victori ous over the Germans in this war, Churchill might well become a popular hero, the last boost needed to lift him over the barrier and into the prime min istry. When the British fleet moved into battle the other day and sunk several German fighting craft off Heligoland, its efficiency was the expression of a very real American contribution to Great Britain. For it has been re-created and perfected into its present shape by a man of genius whose t>lood is an Am erican as it is English. Churchill. Winston Spencer Churchill is the son of Jennie Jerome, of New York, who first married Lord Randolph Churchill and subsequently married and then di vorced George Cornwallis-West. There have been many American brides in the family of the Dukes of Malborough to whom the Churchills are related. Not the least of these in beauty and brains is Winston Churchill's mother. She created a veritable sensation with her good looks and personal harm. Imme diately she took a premier place in so ciety, which unfortunately her second marriage and its disasters did not main tain. But she did much to advance the political prestige of Lord Randolph Churchill and her work then has borne fruit in the achievements of her son. Only forty years old, Winston Spencer Churchiil already has an enviable rec ord, equalled by that of few Englishmen. He has been througli five wars, writ ten seven books and now, still young is a political leader and at the head of the British navy in time of war, which cir cumstances ought to enable him to ob tain any political preferment on which lie may set his mind, provided the Eng lish forces are successful. Coincidence. It is a singular coincidence that the two men now at the head of the Brit ish war office and admiralty were once Mier enemies In the Soudan. Lord ./fdhener of Khartoum, secretary of stifte for war incurred the disapproval of Winston Churchill when the younger man was a war correspondent. Churchill wrote such a bitten- criticism of Kitche ner for the Graphic, because the com mander razed a certain tomb, that the mattes was taken up in the house of commons. Kitchener for years did not forgive Churchill, but now that they are in such co-re’ated responsible posi tions and ChuTchill has laid down the pen. Kitchener probably has burled the hatcher. The key to Churchill’s character Is that he is a soldier. He is a natural born fighting man. He is a true Churchill, very different from his cousin the present Duke of Marlborough, whose lieir to the dukedom he was until the birth of the two sons to the present Duchess still remembered as Consuelo Vanderbilt of New York. Aside from their ancient antipathy, it is s strange thing that Kitchener should be in the war office and Churchill in the admiralty at a time when England is at war. It Is curious because Eng land was far more likely to have had a lawyer presiding over the army and a professor at the head of the navy d& partment. For England was never ready with her fighting machines at the be ginning of a war in all her history. Phe would always prefer to blunder through than to plan ahead. But this time both her army and her fleet were ready, both under the direction of the best fighting men in the empire. Three and One-half Year*. Churchill has been at the admiralty for about three and a half years, and the other day bis old enemy, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford walked across the floor of the house of commons and shook hands with him. saying he was proud of Churchill's work and wanted their feud dead. The Churchill-Beresford quarrel was a long one, growing out of differ ences over naval policies. It waxed bit ter because Churchill always got the better of Beresford on the floor of the commons, thereby getting Beresford laughed at. During his long quarrel with Beres ford, himself a picturesque fighting fig ure, Lord Charles and he had many an assault in debate, but it was an occa sion early this year that caused Beres ford to retire, a very battered wreck. Among other things, Churchill said: "The: noble lord Is one of those fig ures of whom it might be said that when he rises to speak, he doesn’t know what he is going to say, while he is speaking lie does not know what he Is saying and when he Sits down he does not know what he has said.” Courage of High Type. Churchill's physical courage Is of a high type. His most famous battle was at Omdurman. where he took part in the famous cavalry charge, although nomi nally only a correspondent. During the Boer <Par he fought when an armored train was captured, leading a folton hope again and again after all the offi cers were killed, until at last some one without authority hoal'ed the white slug He was captured by the Boers but es caped In remarkable fashion, to take his chances In a hostile country of reaching the British troops. He suc ceeded and fought again, although there was a twice on his head for recapture, and a firing squad for his punishment. He has always struggled since the be ginning pf his career, as he is a msn who has raised, in his march to suc cess, a very full crop of enemies. When he began hie career In the army he was so hated that practically he had to re sign The fact was that he knew too much for his toother officers to appre ciate and had the habit, while only a Junior subaltern of telilng everybody, from the colonel down, how things in the regiment should be run. For this bis associates dubbed him that "Blen heim pup." He has never been popular personally, by reason, of his uncertain temper and his austerely suptolor bear ing toward his fellows when In close lontact with them That has perhaps reated it impression that he will be never minister But . of lat# he lias softened and mellowed and has be gun to make friends. It requires no 1 road stretch of the Imagination to see -Mt the war crisis may give him that port unity to become a popular idol A t will win over those who have op jr jd urn advaucemuit.
