years, initiated against his recovery,
the crisis in the disease coming
quickly.
The news of the death OF Lord Rob-
erts came as an entire surprise to Eng
land, The veterans devotion to the
interests OF his army, his hard work in
this connection and his seeming good
health had been the subject of COM
ment since the beginning of the war.
He was the most popular military fig
ure In Great Britain and a national
hero without rival in the affections OF
the people.
Despite his years, he had never
ceased hard work since his nominal re-
tiremeHt. and. as he had often re-
marked, he lived rigidly abstemious
life that he might preserve his strength
for the service of his country.
During the last five or six years,
when the German war cloud had been
growing. he prosecuted an active cam
paign to persuade the nation to adopt
a compulsory military service.
Field Marshal Roberts worked day
and night for the welfare of the sol

India, where his father, General Sir
Abraham Roberts, was serving
1t was in the Indian service that the
gallant and efficient Irish soldier
achieved his first and lasting fame. 1t
was in South Africa, In his later years,
that this was supplemented and magni-
fled by his achievements in Great Brit
aims victorious campaign against the
Beers.
But, II it was as field marshal and
earl that Lord Roberts was formally
known, 1t was as "Bobs" that the men
of the ranks knew him. loved him and
greeted him. In their estimation, and
in that of the admiring public, which
appreciated and applauded his gallant
services for his country, no name
could fit him better than this diminu-
tive OF his family name-and a word
meaning hero" In Hindu.
