LONDON, July 13
I In the House of Commons Mr. Arnold Forster, replying to Mr. Buchanan, said Lord Roberts was still receiving, under authority from Parliament, a special non-effective allowance of £5000 a year for giving his services to the Defence Committee. The allowance was included under vote 14 in the Army Estimates.
Sir H. Campbell-Bannercnan declared that the payment was a douceur for being treated almost indignantly, and summarily dismissed the Commander-in-Chiefship.
Mr. Forster protested against the "unjust and unfounded remarks," and added that Lord Roberts was a party tt every step taken, and that it was all done with his agreement and consent, and that he had never been subjected to any discourtesy.
