uneduiivocal admission that neither
Rrigadier- Cough, nor al"

..rI.ord Roberts Indignant.
Lgrd Selborne, predicted that Mr.,
Asquith would get the surprise OF mis-
life when he reached the war office
and learned what some of his col
leagues had been doing.
Lord Roberts Indignantly repudlated
the insinuations that have been made
in the newspapers. and by politicians,
that the army had been guilty of lack
Of discipline, and disobedience. He
represented the officers as hahttually
Indifferent and even contemptuous to-
wards politics. 1t was almost the ira
dit'onal attitude OF the army, Lord
Roberts said. that when the people
of England were engaged in political
discussions they were regarded with
pity as persons who were bereft OF
their individuality.
Lord Haldane. the lord high chan
cellor. and former secretary of war.
admitted that many officers ignored
politics but said that for that very
reason they were apt to be mIsled by
the recent continuous stream of mis-
leading articles and headlines In the
Unionst press, which questioned
whether the army ought to support
the civil power. The Curragh incident,
Lord Haldane said, was a deplorable
result, and If this sort Of thing con-
tinued there would arise such com
binatiion of forces. "of labor men, lib
erals and all sorts OF people from
whom we do not now hear" as would
end the question forever, and a good
