LORD ROBERTS
HIS MESSAGE. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) LONDON, Sept. 30. Lord Roberts has received hundreds of birthday congratulations from all parts of the world, and in reply issues a stirring message to the nation: “If these were my last words I would say ‘young men arm yourselves,’ I especially address myself to artisans who are being urged to refuse their duties in time of war. You will not extend your rights by shirking your duties. You are the capital, life and wealth of the nation. The easiest way of bettering yourselves is to make Britain better. Assert your rights by defending your honour as Britishers, and your liberties as citizens of the Empire.”
