CRITICISM OF ROBERTS.
London Press says There is scriou
Defect In His Plans.

London, April 3.-The Times-editorial
leader this morning says:
There seems to have been some -seri-
GUS defect In the information possessed
by Lord Roberts OF the sBoer move
ments. or otherwise an Incredibly small
force has been left In the air. thirty-
eight miles from the main army. while
5000 or 10000 Beers with artillery are
upon 1t from at least two
sides.
The Boer tactics are simple enough,
tho effective when not properly met,
and the Boer strategy is not yet shown
to be OF high order. but, after all. the
Beers have some brains, and the Britt
ish officers have too often behaved as IL
they were dealing with congenital
idiots
III force had to be kept ct Thaba
Nchu 1t is surely not difficult to SUR
mise that it's isolation would tempt the
Beers to attack, and. the conjecture
once made. it followed that every pre-
caution should have been taken to OBJ
tain early information OF what might
be on foot, so that either retirement or
prompt reinforcement would be practi-
cable. Yet. SO far as can be seen,
BroadwOOd knew nothing until at
tackled by vastly superior body. and
immediate and precipitate retreat was
Judged necessary. Even then, as far as
present Information allows US to Judge
1t seems the possibility of meeting q
fresh body of Beers on the way to
Bl6emfontein had not occurred TO any.
body. and natural position, which
positively invited the Beers to lay an
ambush. did not create the smallest
mtsgiving in the military mind.
Ono is involuntarily reminded OF the
observation made by the late Com
mandant Joubert to an English friend
some little time before the war began
when he said:
our officers have not much brains
land, what Is far worse. they don't be
lieve that other people have any.
