There will be a warm welcome and a cor
dial greeting awaiting Lord Roberts when
he arrives in Berlin late this month to
apprise Emperor William formally OF King
Georges accession to the British throne.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts is acting as
special envoy of King George to the
crowned heads of Europe In giving official
notification that George is now the pre-
siding ruler OF Great Britain and her al
lied territory.
Although no intimation has been given,
! would not be surprised IL the kaiser in
sists upon Lord Roberts remaining for the
anHStal maneuvers of the entire German
ALI early in September II the English
soldier Is able to take advantage of this
invitation he win be the emperor's guest
upon the field.
Lord Roberts and his suite will be re-
ceived by the kaiser at wilmshohe on
August q. The field marshal and his
suite will be the guests OF the kaiser at
the ineprial castle at wiimshohe.
Emspror William does not hide his ad-
niration for EnSland's two great soldiers
Lord Kitchner and Lord Roberts
Under ordinary circumstances Prince Ar
thur would have taken part in some OF
them: but his royal highness cannot be
spared from his military duties with the
Scots Greys in the middle OF the training

The surprising part of this fact IL that
tho police are weil acquainted with the
leading anarchists who take up their resi-
dence in this country, and can tell when
anything Of more Importance than usual is
going ON. Yet, to all outward appearance
they make no sign. and seemingly leave
these dangerous gentry a perfectly free
hand to babble sedition and to plot assas.
Blhation without putting the least obstacle
In bheir way.
This is very far from being the case. The
department OF the metropolitan police thai
is charged with the task of watching and
outwitting these desperadoes Is one OF the
most perfectly organized bodies In the
world, and the extent Of its knowledge Il
little short of wonderful, and It would con.
that they are free from surveillance could
they only know how closely every move
ment is watched.
