tion, one Of the questions being dis
cussed by Englishmen today is wheth-
er the present war might have been
averted had his advice as to army mat
ters been followed For years "Bobs"
constantly preached conscription,
travelling from one end OF England to
the other. urging that England main
tain a great army.
He regarded a great conflict inevi-
table and insisted that England's best
assurance of continued peace woul0
be a great army. He practically pro-
dicted the present war, but his mili-
tary fanaticism in constantly urging
conscription made him rather unpop-
ular. With the outbreak of the pres
ent conflict. however. Lord Roberts
Immediately rose TO the position of n
national hero, and Il is an open ques-
tiOn with Englishmen whether Ger
many would have entered upon the
war had England been ready with an
efficient fighting force. Lord Roberts
criticism was frank and open In his
declarations that England was not
prepared for war
Messages OF coincidence have been
sent Lord Roberts widow and daugh.
ter by King George, General Sir John
French, and others have arrived from
all parts OF the Empire.
