LITTLE BOBS.

The death Of Lord Roberts Of Kandahar sol
dler. organizer and queller of Indian mutinies
removes the last of that generation Of soldiers
Of the British Empire who won fame In the
days when Engands control of India hung In
the balance He was the last of those taking
important part In the campaigns which resulted
In the queiling OF the mutinies of Delhi the
famous relief of Lucknow, the fighting the
road to Cawnpore.
To those OF the younger generation Lord Rob
orts is best known FOR his relief of Kimberly in
the Boer war and. commander n-chief of the
British army. But it was in India and Afghan
istan and earlier In Abyssinia, that he won deco.
rations and med als innumerabe and the affec-
tomato title of little Bobs,' He to the
Indian soldiers and later to all the soldiers OF
the Empire what Earl Kitchener ia today-the
taciturn man of action, the master of organiza-
ton and the fighting man whose courage was
Of the kind TO coniure with.
The death of Lord Roberts at the advanced
age Of 81 will have no effect on the conduct OF
the war. Though active to the last, he was not
force in the British army and his visits to
Earl Kitchener were merely those of ad-
wiser. His death brings grief to the old guard
and TO the Indian troops whose idol he was. and
the whole Empire will unite TO do him honor
but the war Will go on as before.

Nothing Is more seriously engaging the
attention of the American people, famed the
world for their philanthropy and sympa-

contributing to the relief of those made helpless
and homeless by the raYages OF war in Europe.
Governor Stuart. OF our own State, Is giving
consideration to a plan OF organization whereby
the collection Of funds and provisions for the
relief of poverty stricken Belgium may be sys-
tematized, and shall he sure 10 see such
liberality the part of the people in this coun-
try has never before been manifested any
where.
Governor Stuart is also considering the idea
of bringing the Belgian peasants, who are excel
lent farmers. to Virginia and colonizing them in
our agricultural districts. That they would be
glad to come to this country OF unlimited posi-
bilittes would seem to be most natural. and while
the idea Is prevalent that the European war Is
