To Tommy Atkins "Bobs" had
baan an idol for years. His simplicity
of character, lack of assumption and
known sympathy for the man in the
ranks gained him wide popularity,
which the sightof his alert and kindly

In many of his physical and mental
characteristics he resembled Grant,
for whose genius as a soldier he had
great admiration. In the personal con-
troversies of the service he never med
died and he was incapable of envy or
resentment This serenity of mind
made him with officers, as with men,

SKILL AND SPUNk

(From the New York Times.)
We shall quite miss the opportunity,
we shall never enter the inviting door
if our captains of industry let fear and
timidity overcome them. We depend
upon Germany for dyestuffs, and the
supply may be cut off altogether. yet
we are told that it would be a risky
venture to engage American capital in
supplying that want, since as soon as
the war is over Germany would un-
dersell us in our own market and
drive us out of business. Have we
then lost our skill as well as our
spunS? Must we admit that when
President Wilson appealed to Ameri-
can manufacturers to show themselves
to be as good as the best he uttered a
vain thing?
Nothing venture. nothing have.
What we shall have" is a period Of
trade depression as severe and as pro-
longed, it may be, as that which fol-
lowed the panic year of 1873, unless
we begin now to write our policies of
insurance against adversely. 1t is a
question of courage and capacity. If
we have lost both, the outlook is
gloomy indeed. If we prove that we
are self-reliant and resourceful we can
beyond doubt take greater place in
the worlds markets than we have ever
before filled and profit generously by
the venture.

BETTER THAT HE
DIED WITH TROOPS

London, Nov. 15.-8.25 P. M.-The
death of Field Marshal Earl Roberts
which occurred last evening at the
headquarters of the British expert
tionary force in France, was extreme
ly sudden. He was in his usual health
when he lett England on Wednesday
with his daughter Lady Aileen Rob-
erts, and his SON. in law, Major Levin.
The party had a rough trip cross
ing the channel, but the aged gener-
al felt no i'll effects and went through
with his program on the continent. In
fact, he was about to return home
when his death occurred.
Earl Roberts had motored to the
British bases and camps, had review
ed the Indian troops and had confer
red with the leading officers. 1t was
not until agout dinner time Friday
evening that he complained of a slight
chill. AS he was subject to more or
less trifiing chest troubles, he followed
his usual course and went to bed
early AS his temperature increased
medical men were called in and pro-
nounced his condition critical. They
relieved the general of what pain he
was suffering and he fell asleep. His
death occurred during sleep.
The passing of the great warrior
has created profound grief through
out the country. At all churches and
in the camps where the soldiers are
training. touching references were
made today to his death and the Dead
March in Saul was played. In a te.-
egram to Lady Roberts. Field Mar
shall Sir John French, in the name o.
the army serving in France, express
ed deep sympathy, saying:
Your grief is shared by us who
mourn the loss of much loved chief
AS he was called. it seems filter TO
the ending of the life of a great SOL
der that he should have passed away
in the midst of the troops he loved
so wen and within sound of the guns"

HEARING ON PETITION
TO RELOCATE BRIDGE
TO 0RRS' ISLAND

Orr's Island, Nov. 15.-The selectmen
of Harpswell held hearing in Red
Mems hall Saturday on a petition Of
IA residents of Bailey Island asking
the selectmen to relocate a bridge
across Wills Strait between Bailey and
Orr's Islands.
The town has on three occasions
voted to have this bridge built, and
each time the work has been blocked
by technicalities. The last time every
thing looked favorable for having it
built, and the selectmen had asked
for bids on the construction, and had
even gone so far as awarding the con-
tracts when the case was taken to
court, and court ruled that the bridge
should not be constructed as the Sc
lectmen had failed to use the word
making the location.
The hearing this afternoon was
largely attended by those interested.
Everett Sinnet, Charles Thomas and
c. NJ. Clary spoke in favor of the
bridge, while opposition was repre-
sented by Emery G. Wilson of Port
land and Harmon o. Cobb of Cundys
Harbor.
After the hearing of arguments pro
and con the selectmen viewed the To-
cation which they already have we'll
by heart, and they will meet next
Saturday to render their decision. If
the decision is favorable the town at
its next annual meeting in March will
be asked to accept the location and
re-apportionate the necessary funds to
build the bridge.

.Bobs" implied no lack of personal
dignity. Although only five feet three
Ia shade shorter than Field Marshal
French-his figure and bearing were
the embodiment of soldiery character.
His home at Ascot was modest,
.unpretentious villa.
Field Marshal Roberts worked day
and night for the welfare of the SOL
diers from the outbreak of the war.
He took. the greatest interest in the
Indians and issued an appeal for
funds for their wounded and sick. He
also made requests for sportsmen TO
contribute saddles for the army, which
brought a ready response He made
other requests for the loan of field
glasses to officers during the war. And
he wrote personal letters of thanks to
all contributors.
One of his last speeches was made
at a review of battalion of volun-
teers, when he referred sarcastically to
young men who played football and
cricket at this crisis.

England's greatest soldier since
wellington" was the verdict of one
military critic on Earl Roberts, after
his successful conclusion of the Trans
vaal War, and to this judgment there
can be no dissent. In the length and
briliiancy of his service he overtoppet
all contemporaries just as m the affec-
lions of the army rank and file, who
fondly called him 'Bobs.' he had no
rival.
Like so many of England's military
leaders, a son of Gen. Sir Abraham
Roberts, member of prominent Wa
terford family, a hero of the first At
CHAN War. His younger son, Freder-
lex Sleigh Roberts, was born on Sept.
30, 1892. at Cawnpore, India, where
his father was then in command Ell
ton and Sandhurst and Addiscombe
We're the scenes of his education for
the inevitable army life.
He was only 10 when he entered the
Bengal artillery and began that long
career in the East which he has in
terestingly related in his Forty One
Years in India"
II was in 1857 that young Roberts
had his first strong taste of war. He
was first on Nicholson's staff, with the
PunJab movable column. Then he
Went with Sir Colin Campbell to the
reilef or Lucknow. In the final battle
at LUCKNOW he took conspicuous
part, as well as in the operations at
Delhi, Cawnpore, Miangange and Khu-
dagunge. At the last named place
he won the Victoria Cross by his val
or in a hand-to-hand fight. At the
end OF the campaign he received the
thanks of the Government and was
brevetted major.
he took an active part in the siege
OF Delhi. where the besiegers were at
times equally the besieged and were
outnumbered three to one. There he
was wounded.
After Delhi Roberts was appointed
to Co. Greatheads movable Column.
and was in the fights at Bolundshur.
Ailyghur and at the capture of Agra.
He was with Sir Hope Grant in the
march to Lucknow, and soon after
was with Sir Colin Campbell at the
battle Of Cawnpore.
Afghan Campaigns
In 1850. after passing some time in
England on account Of illness, Lieut..
Roberts was made captain. and
shortly after was awarded the title of
brevet major for his distinguished SER
vices in the field.
Years that followed the mutiny were
full of active work for the rising young
officer. He was in the frontier cam
paign at Umbeyla in 1863, had charge
of the embarkation of the Abyssinian
expedition four years later and was
senior staff officer in the Lushai cam
