in Egypt and the Sudan instead OF in
India. He is not a soldiers officer.
In fact, he is personally unpopular
with his men, but they have great
confidence in him, and when they
know he is planning things they are
generally sure that all will be for the
best, with victory at the end.
Kitchener is a second Moltke in the
machnelike precision of his calculat-
ing mind. He is brilliant example Of
the scientific soldier, the civlizing rail
road building, administering modern
Caesar and also the genius incarnate or
military organization. He is known as
the general "who leaves nothing un-
DONE" One Of the secrets of his sue
cess is the fact that he always makes
1t a point to master the vernacular of
the country or district in which he may
chance to be campaigning.
The brilliant Sudan campaigns of this
remarkable fighter are of too recent a
date to be eXpatiated on here. Fifteen
years of hard work. it must be remem-
bered, preceded his brilliant victory at
Omdurman. But in South Africa there
was no chance for preparation. He
finds nothing but fighting cut out for
him.

handing divisions in the war against
the Boers only those who have recently
arrived have succeeded in preserving

In the table of nutritive value which
the Michigan Farmer publishes carrots
are rated per cent of fat, while both
sugar beets and beets for fodder are
rated at only per cent of fat, but
whatever chemical analysis may show
as the percentage of fat in potatoes it
is practically nothing when 1t comes to
butter making. The cream from milk
from cows fed on potatoes is white,
waxy and without the grain that the
best butter should have. Feeding cows
with bects causes them to give great
amount of milk, and it makes fair,
good butter. but the cows also need
some cornmeal or other grain feed to
increase the butter fats. Feeding the
carrots makes the milk increase in
quantity, and it will be rich milk, max
ing a yellow colored butter even in
winter if fed with cornstalks ana a
very little corn. OF all the roots grown
carrots and parsnips are the best of all
roots to feed to milk cows. They are
largely fed in the Channel islands, and
it is possibly this feeding on succulent
food, combined with the mild winter
that prevails there, that has helped de-
velop the milking qualities OF Jersey
and Guernsey cows.

the affairs of the empire could reach
such grave crisis as to bring him
from practical retirement would have
been laughed at as absurd Yet such a
crisis has occurred, and Lord Roberts
is again in harness.
"Bobs," as he is affectonately called,
is the idol of the nation. At the queens
jubilee, when he was in the procession
to st. Paurs, he received almost las
much of an ovation as did the aged
queen herself He is soldiers officer.
His very name inspires Tommy At
kins to deeds of valor.
This man. who was selected from a
list Of eight field marshals' and IA full
1ledged generals and has been sent to
save the destiny of the British empire
in South Africa, is small, tanned,
wiry, withered up little man of about
five feet in the perpendicular, and he
weighs but little over 100 pounds. His
full name is Frederick Sleigh Roberts.
Like so many English officers, Lord
Roberts may be said to have laid the
foundation for his military career on
the cricket fields Of Elton and at ~

cross and most of his reputation by

Beers n very different proposition.
Early In his career he won favor with
Lord Wo4seley. This was during the
China war of 1860. He also took part
in the Red river expedition and was
chief Of staff i'm the Gordon relief ex.
petition of 1884. But whatever pres
tige he ever had has been sadly dim
med.
General Methuen's reputation, which
went down in that catastrophe on the
Moddcr river, was, it might almost he
said. a heritage. He comes of dis
tinguished family of soldiers and dip
lomats. AS the heir to n peerage it
was a comparatively easy matter for
him to gain promotion when he went
in for an army career. His active serv-
ice consisted of few months during
the Bechuanaland campaign, when he

sweep Of the saber, which split the
mans skull.
What has won for him more fame,
however, than anything else was his
march to Kandahar. He had captured
Kabul, the capital VI Afghanistan, aft
er the massacre of the English envoy
there, Sir Louis Cavagnari when news
was suddenly brought to him Of the
crushing defeat Of General Burrows at
Maiwand, the routed forces. which
had lost their guns, being compelled
to take refuge in Kandahar, where
they were besieged by Ayub Khan.
Without moments hesitation Lord
Roberts started with force of 10000
men from Kabul to relieve Kandahar

The officers who are now leading the
British force in South Africa against
the Beers are the pick of the army
list. 1t Is quite true that the first divi-
sions sent out were commanded by
men who We're better known as "war
office pets" than as fighting leaders

For the space Of three weeks this ex-
petition disappeared entirely from hui
man ken. At length it emerged from
the trackless and, for the most part,
waterless regions between Kabul and
Kandahar and under the walls of the
latter city fought battle and won a
brilliant victory, indicting n crushing
defeat upon the Afghans.
This is not the first time that Lord
Roberts has been ordered out to South
Africa. lie was assigned to the chief
command there after Majuba HILL but
on reaching the Cape found that the
Gladstone government had in the
meantime concluded peace with the
Beers.
In many ways the direct antithcsis
of Lord Roberts is General IIoratio
Herbert Kitchener, lord of Khartum,
who is second in command. He is
more than six feet in height for one
thing. His reputation has been won

organized himself and which was
known as Methuen's Light horse.
General William Forbes Gatacre,
who met his Waterloo at Stormberg,
has seen service in India. He also
served under Kitchener in the Sudan.
General Gatacre was born in 1913
and entered the army when he was 10.
From 1870 to 1879 he was instructor in
surveying at the Royal Military col
leee, Sandhurst quartcrmastcr general

and military secretary to the COM
mander in chief at Bombay in 1881.
General Kelly Kenny, in command of
the Sixth division, is having his first
experience in South Africa. He served
in China and in Abyssinia.
General Sir Charles Warren, whose
name will henceforth be associated
with the disaster at Spion kop, was ex-
pected to be an invaluable assistant to

GENERAL LORD ROBERTS.

GENERAL LORD ROBERTS.
But there has been a change of policy
since Magersfontein and Modder River.
In the early days of the war the
British spoke of 1.-THE expedition" which
they were sending to the Transvaal.
That was when Butler was talking
about eating Christmas dinner in Pre-
toria. The English have ceased to re-
fer to the war as IAN expeditions"
also they have summoned their best
fighting leaders and sent them to the
front.
Fine looking leaders these men are,
too. each and every one with his repu-
tation, his title and his glttering med
ais. Alas, many of them have left only
their titles and their medals! Their
regulations, won in India for the most
part. lie buried along the borders Of
the BOer republics.

India and Lord Kitchener the hero of
the latest Sudan campaign. the British
war office admitted the gravity Of the
situation Lord Roberts has reached
the verge of threescore and ten, and 1t

neatedly mentioned in the dispatches
and had won the Victoria cross. which

iishman's ambition.
Inasmuch AZ Lord Roberts, with
characteristic modesty, refrains from
giving any description in his book as TO
how he won his Victoria cross, the only
reference to the matter being a brief
mention in a footnote of three lines to
the effect that it had been awarded to
him, it may be just as well to state
that It was conferred upon him not FOR
one. but for severtt feats of con-
spicuous gallantry at the battle OF lNho-

instance he rescued regimental flag

THREE IMPORTANT SUITS
Te Try and Tax Property That Was
Exempted Dy the City Council.

Especial Dispatch to The Times)
LYNCHBURG, VA, August Three
important suits will be argued before Judge
White in Iynchburg Circuit Court next
Monday and Tuesday. One OF the cases is
that Of A. r. Thomas VS.. the Commissioner
OF Revenue in which the court is asked to
issue Il mandamus to compel the Commits
sioner of Revenue 10 assess for taxation
certain new enterprises that have been
exempted under a special ordinance of the
City Council.
Another suit is that of the Lynchburs
Electric Railway and Light Company VS.
the city OF Lynchburg. The company seeks
to secure an order from the court declaring
null and void an ordinance controlling the
use of poles and wires and appointing
city electrician The company claims that
the ordinance is in violation OF Its con-
tract with the city.
The third case is that OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad vs.. John Stuart Walker
and others. Tie Norfolk and Western
Railroad recently made an effort to secure
the right OF way for Il size track down the
right bank OF James River and in order
to do so they had to secure a certain piece
of new made land. The Chesapeake and
Ohio claimed that under the original pur-
chase of the James River and hana"ha
Canal thny We're entitled to all riparian ac-
cre;ions, and that consequently they are
the owners of the ground over which the
Norfolk and Western proposes to pass.

nice, venerable looking gentleman called
upon hey Dallas Tucker. The rector OF
ST. Jolns p T. Church, Monday, and in
trG6uceQ himself as Or. II. NJ. Gorion
medical referee of Virginia, and also as be
ing connected with the Pension Department
at Washington
He stated that he was executor OF the
will of a lady who had left two requests
to churches in Bedford, and desired to
know if Nj. Tucker would receive the
S.1nounts The sum of 500, he stated, had
been left TO st. JOINTS Church rectory, and
another amount to = church near Forest
which is St Stephens Church.
Rev Mr. Tucker declined to receive the
oequest for the latter church, but said
that lie would receive that for st. JOINS
but the transfer of money must be made
in Cue legal form. An nsaSenent vas
made to meet DIR. Gordon this morning at
a certain hour at his hotel, when they
would proceed to the Office OF Mr. M. p
Burks, a legal gentleman and Vestryman
of the church, when the papers OF transfer
would be prcperl, prepared.
This morning Rev. Mr.. Tucker repaired
to The hotel to find the gentleman had left
save ceremonies, without paying his bill
and had been seen leisurely proceeding to-
ward the railway station, where he took
the 80 train for Lynchburg.
He also on yesterday attempted to have
a check casiied at the bank, but was in
formed that he must furnish a satisfactory
referee and that the check must be prop
erly endorsed.
Failing in both attempts at swindlinS
here he has doubtless departed to seek
other victims less cautious.
