Show A POOR INTERVIEW. An English correspondent said in Washington: "I once tried to interview Lord Kitchener, tho English war minister. 1 tackled him after dinner In a hotel lounge as ho sipped his coffee and puffed on a huge cigar. Ho stared at me when I proffered my request, then he blow n cloud of smoke and said: " T never gave an Interview in my life, and I never Intend to.' "This seemed decisive enough. I folt myself getting red, and I stammered, stam-mered, as I prepared to go: '"Well, then, Lord Kitchener, will you at least give me your autograph? It would be worth having.' "Ho blew another cloud of smoke. Then he answered: " 'You'd better go off and make your own autograph worth having.' " |
