LORD ROBERTS
A correspondent of a London paper, describing Lord Roberts at the front, says : — " 'Without any sign or badge, wearing a plain khaki coat, with ordinary shoulder straps, cord breeches, and putti.gaiters, and helmet, and a pair of glasses hung over his shoulders, Lord Koberts has the appearance more of a private individual than the Commander-in-Chief in whom England has put its trust. Yet everyone knows him, and he is recognised when still afar ofi". He is universally loved by all. If ' Bobs' is there, all have confidence—nothing can go wrong."
