WAR A TONIC, BRITAIN'S

Inevitable as Death" Lord Roberts
Declared in Essay

"Inevitable as Death Lord Roberts
Declared in Essay
Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 13-An es-
say written by the late Field Marshal
Lord Roberts, the beloved "Bobs" of
the British army, which was read by
Cosmo Hamilton last night at meet
ing of the Contemporary Club, shows
that that keen fighter, whose prestige
won thousands of Indian recruits to
the colors, was satisfied that the great
war was his nations greatest need.
There is one aspect Of the great
European war with which, so far as |
know, no one has had the courage to
deal" Lord Roberts wrote. MANY
pens have been busy in writing of its
horrors, its extraordinary develop
ment in science and chemistry, the
heroism Of its units, the great beauty
that has been brought out by it in the
way of human sacrifice and the unac-
countable number of individual acts of
exquisite kindness. 1t remains TO deal
with its need.
Il am one of those who hold that
this war was virtually necessary to all
of the nations engaged in it, as well
as to those who are standing aside
and, it is hoped, learning lessons. The
history Of the world makes it very
clear that at the moment when coun-
tries arrive at GENERALIZATION some
thing must happen, and that some
thing is war.
Degeneracy Follows Decentralization
"As soon as nations become over
civilized degeneracy sets in. The first
set Of persons to be attacked is that
which forms the government Of the
country. While il is true that govern
ments are never representative and
politicians are merely parasites, even
under the best conditions, il is aston

their dishonest self-seeking and inef-
fciency runs through the nations
