LORD ROBERTS. HERO
IOF INDIAN MS. DEAD
Pusses Away While Visiting
Hindu Soldiers in France.
SURPRISE TO ENGLAND.
"Was One of the Most Noted of
<?reat Britain's Soldiers.
82 Years of Age.
London, Nov .15.?Field Marsha'
Karl Roberts died last nigl'.t in
Franca from pneumonia. A tele,
gram from Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander o the Brit sn
expeditionary forces on the continent,
apprised Earl Kitchener, secretary
of state for war, of the death
of England's great soldier. The
elograni read:
"I deeply regret to tell you that
Lord Roberts died at 8 o'clock this
(Saturday) evening."
Field Marshal Roberts, who was
colonel-in-chief of the Indian troops,
had gone to France to greet them.
Soon after his arrival he became
seriously ill. lie suffered from a
severe chill Thursday and pneumonia
rapidly developed. His great
age, 82 years, mitigated against his
recovery, the crisis in the disease
coming quickly.
The news of Lord Roberts' death
came as an entire surprise to England.
The veteran's devotion to the
interests of the army, his hard
work in this connection and his
seeming good health had been the
subject of comment since the boginning
of the war. He was the most
popular military figure in OJreat
Britain and a national hero without
rival in the affections of the people.
Despite his years he nover had
ceased hard work since his nominal
retirement aud ns he often had remarked.
lie lived a rigidly abstemious
life that he might preserve his
strength for the services of his
country.
During the past five or six years,
when the German war cloud had
been growing, he prosecuted an active
campaign to persuade the nation
to adopt a compulsory military service.
His belief was that Great
Britain shall require the training of
the whole male population in arms
rather upon the plan of Switzerland
than the longer terms of conscription
enforced in the case of continental
military nations.
lie preached unceasingly and untiringly
the necessity for the nation
to have its men trained in the rudiments
at least of the soldier's work
so that they could be called quickly
to arms to defend the country
against invasion.
In private conversation he expressed
the conviction that Germany
was planning to make war on Great
Britain when she touud an advantageous
moment, and he believed that
the supposed menace oi clvit war in
Ireland hub a just factor.
' hot erts of Kandahar, Pretoria
and Watrtord," as Field Marshal
l.ord Frederick Sleigh Roberts was
known, sums up briefly the career of
the noted British soldier, whose
death has plunged the empire into
mourning.
Scion of a noble Irish family,
l.ord Roberts was born in 1822 in
( awnpore, India, where his father.
Geiittal Sir Abraham Roberts, a;:
serving. It was in the Indian service
that the gallant and efficient Irish
soldier achieved his first and lasting
fame. It was in South Africa >n his
later >ears that this was supple,
tu-'ited and magnified by his
achievements in Great Britain's . ictorious
campaign against the Boers
* tred as he was with honors
and titles by his own country it was
not by that nation alone that his
i". diary abilities were appre dated.
"The greatest soldier of his time,''
vere the words used by ICmpercWilliam
of Germany in paying tribu
1 'i to him.
"Roberts of Kandahar," the limperor
Is recorded as saying, 'has
much of the subtlety and ability to
perceive his opportunities that have
ftiutinirinaliA/1 ? ?*..
utouwu tuc gicaivsi limitary
gen'uses of the past. I hold aim the
ablest of today's soldiers."
For more than half a century
Kngland had occasion to take pride
in the career of Roberts, the soldier.
A* that career ripened she came to
hold him in the same affection as
Wellington, Cltve and Kitchener.
In nine ot her wars he was I t the
th'ck of Hit fighting and many tln.es
was wounded. As he fought he rose
in rank from supernumerary subaltern
in the Horse Artillery to Held
An Active Liver Means Health.

The Audacious, according to the
